To find the best picks, our editors spend hours each week testing and researching products, as well as consulting with experts in the industry to help everyone who comes to BHG get trusted insights and advice on shopping for their home. Why You Should Trust Us BHG only features products that our editorial team has independently researched to be high quality and worth the investment. Our content is never swayed by advertising, and we purchase most of the products we test ourselves. Brands will occasionally send us products to sample; however, we never promise to positively review those products in exchange for free items. We also regularly refresh our articles to make sure they are still factually accurate, current, and meet the needs of our readers. In order to make sure we're providing our readers with helpful, accurate information, writers and editors make all of the product and service recommendations you see on the Better Homes & Gardens site. We do not accept content written by AI tools like ChatGPT for publication.

We also consult with industry experts to answer your shopping questions and get the lowdown on what really matters when you’re shopping for a particular item.

How We Research and Test Our Products Our editors and writers start their process by researching everything we can about a product category. We dig into how a product works, what separates a good product from a great one, and which features are most important. We talk to experts, read pages of product reviews, and dig through owners' manuals and FAQ pages to learn as much as we can about a product before we recommend it to our readers. In some cases, all that research isn't enough for us. Ever wish you could test the top 30 vacuums to find the best one for pet hair? That’s a time-consuming—and expensive—prospect for most shoppers, but our editors and writers have been testing vacuums, sheets, lawn mowers, and other home essentials for years to find the best of the best. When we test products, we use them in our own homes for weeks or months at a time. We add them to our daily routines and we don't go easy on them, so we can see for ourselves how they might fit into a wide range of households with different needs. The Dyson TP07 is quite tall but sleek and doubles as both a fan and a purifier.

Our editorial team analyzes years’ worth of sales and pricing fluctuations so that you can cash in on the best deals and times to buy. We filter through thousands of deals during top shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday, and Cyber Monday to help you fill your cart with the day’s top buys. We also keep an eye out for great sales on popular items year-round. In addition to finding great deals, we share whenever we find a product we think you’ll love in your home or garden, such as patio furniture, pillows, gardening tools, and holiday decor. We also monitor seasonal styles and trends to help you channel the latest looks into your space without breaking the bank.
