How We Rate Home Appliances
Our Principles
ValueForMoney accepts no sponsored posts, brand deals, or payments from manufacturers. Our reviews are based on thorough spec analysis, real user reviews sourced from Amazon and brand forums, and after-sales service evaluation. Our ratings reflect genuine research — not manufacturer claims or paid endorsements.
How We Select Products
We focus on home appliances available in India via Amazon.in or authorised dealers. We prioritise products with sufficient search volume and buyer interest, and we retire reviews when products are discontinued or unavailable for more than 3 months.
Review Process
- Detailed spec analysis comparing features, energy efficiency, capacity, and build quality across competing models
- Cross-referencing hundreds of real user reviews from Amazon.in and brand-specific forums
- After-sales service evaluation — warranty terms, service centre availability, and customer support responsiveness
- Price tracking across major Indian retailers to identify the best deals and price trends
- Pricing checked weekly against Amazon.in and updated as needed
Rating System
All home appliances are rated on a 10-point scale. Each review specifies its own rating criteria and weights — because the right criteria for a budget washing machine differ from a premium air conditioner. The criteria and their weights are always shown transparently in the "How We Rated" section of each review.
Common criteria include: Performance, Build Quality, Ease of Use, Safety Features, After-Sales Service, and Value for Money. Not all criteria appear in every review.
Affiliate Links
ValueForMoney participates in the Amazon Associates (India) programme. When you click a "Check Price" or "Buy Now" link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. This does not influence our ratings or recommendations.
