About Household Gears
We test cheap home gear so you can spend less and replace nothing twice.
Who we are
Household Gears is run by the Household Gears team: a small group of people who buy budget home products with our own money, use them in a real home, and write down what happened. There is no studio and no borrowed press samples. Named authors and photos will be added to the team page as the team grows.
Our tests happen in our test home.
What we cover
We test and review budget home gear: vacuums, air purifiers, humidifiers, dehumidifiers, heaters and fans, mattress toppers and pillows, shower heads and bidets, and the organizers that keep a closet in order. We also write the cleaning and maintenance guides we wish we had found ourselves. Kitchen gear is not covered here.
Each product is bought, used in daily life for weeks, measured where we can, and photographed by us. Read how we test for the details.
How we make money
When you buy through a link on our site, we may earn a commission. That never changes what we recommend or the scores we give, and it costs you nothing extra. We may also show ads from Google on some article pages. Our affiliate disclosure has the details.
