Become a Home Product Reviewer

Pick an everyday product you own – it could be a kitchen appliance, a piece of tech, a cleaning solution, or even a streaming service – and use it with the explicit intention of critically testing and evaluating it. Document your experience from setup (if applicable) to daily use, noting pros, cons, unexpected features, design flaws, and areas for improvement. You could even create a short video review or written blog post to share your findings.

Why Try This

This activity sharpens your critical thinking and observation skills, helps you make more informed purchasing decisions in the future, and provides a fun, analytical way to engage with the items around you. You might discover new appreciation for a product or realize one you thought you liked isn't so great after all.

Getting Started

Select one product that you use regularly or are curious about. Create a simple scorecard or a list of criteria to evaluate (e.g., ease of use, durability, value for money, design, effectiveness). Use the product intensively for the day, actively looking for details to assess.

What You'll Need

Your chosen product, a pen and paper or a digital note-taking tool, and optionally a camera for photos or video if you wish to create a full review.
