How we rate products
Every product gets the same ValueInsight Score out of 10, built from the same five factors. No brand pays for a score.
Where our information comes from
We read hundreds of real buyer reviews on Amazon India — especially the 1, 2 and 3 star ones, because that is where the problems show up. We compare prices, warranties and similar products, and we watch the reels and ads that made the product go viral.
AI helps us read and group thousands of reviews quickly. The formula below stays fixed for every product, so each score can be explained line by line.
The five factors
| Factor | Weight |
|---|---|
| Buyer satisfaction Amazon star rating, adjusted for how many people rated it. 4.3★ from 20,000 buyers beats 4.6★ from 80. | 30% |
| Complaint severity Recurring problems in 1–3★ reviews. Breaks within a month or a safety issue is a big cut; a minor annoyance is a small one. | 25% |
| Value for money Price compared with similar products that do the same job. | 20% |
| Durability & warranty Warranty length, brand service, and how often buyers report it stopped working. | 15% |
| Hype gap How close real use is to what the reel or ad shows. 10 means it does exactly what the reel promised. | 10% |
Each factor is scored 0–10. The final score is the weighted average.
What the verdict means
- Buy — score 8.0 and above. Does the job well. Safe to order.
- Buy with care — score 6.0 to 7.9. Works for some people. Read the complaints first.
- Skip — below 6.0. Too many problems for the price. Look at the alternative.
How we make money
When you buy through our Amazon links, we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you. We still give a “Skip” verdict when a product deserves it, even though that means we earn nothing on it.
Keeping scores fresh
Products change, and so do reviews. Each page shows when it was last updated, and we re-check popular products regularly.
