Frequently Asked Questions

How does eRated work?

eRated uses AI-powered algorithms to analyze products across multiple dimensions including performance, build quality, value for money, user experience, and innovation. We collect data from independent tests, specifications, and verified sources to calculate objective ratings out of 100.

Are your ratings biased?

No. Our ratings are completely objective and data-driven. We don't accept payments from manufacturers to boost ratings, and our AI algorithms apply the same criteria to all products regardless of brand, price, or popularity. Our affiliate relationships never influence our ratings.

How often are ratings updated?

Our AI system continuously monitors and updates ratings as new data becomes available. This includes software updates, price changes, new competitor products, and long-term reliability data. Ratings are typically updated within 24-48 hours of significant changes.

Do you test products yourself?

We aggregate data from multiple trusted sources including independent testing labs, professional reviews, benchmark databases, and verified user data. Our AI normalizes and weights this data to produce consistent, objective ratings.

How do I filter products by features?

When browsing a category, you'll see filter options for each feature relevant to that product type. For example, smartphones have filters for Battery, Camera, Display, Performance, and Value. Simply enter your minimum score (e.g., 8.0) and click Filter to see products that meet your requirements.

Are prices accurate?

We strive to keep prices up to date, but prices can change frequently. The prices shown are estimates based on our latest data. Always check the retailer's website for the most current pricing before making a purchase.

Do you earn commissions?

Yes, we may earn commissions from purchases made through our affiliate links. However, this never influences our ratings or product recommendations. Our ratings are based solely on objective data and performance metrics. See our Affiliate Disclosure for more information.
