Corrections & Updates

What counts as a correction

We treat these as corrections, and log them below:

• A factual error — a wrong figure, specification, price calculation, or claim about a product.
• A claim about our own experience that went further than what we had actually done.
• A recommendation we would no longer stand behind, where the reason is something we got wrong rather than something that simply changed.

What doesn’t

We don’t log routine maintenance: price and stock updates, a product going out of stock and being replaced, or ordinary editing. Those happen constantly and are part of keeping a guide current rather than a fix to something we got wrong. Where a guide has been substantially updated, the date is shown on the page itself.

Drawing that line matters. A log that recorded every price change would bury the corrections that actually deserve your attention.

Telling us about something

Email [email protected] with the page and what looks wrong. We read everything and reply within 2–3 working days. If you are right, we will fix it and it will appear below.

How we handle it

Small factual fixes are made directly and logged here. Where a correction changes what we recommended, we say so on the page itself as well as here — we don’t quietly swap a pick and leave the page looking as though it always said that.

Correction log

15 October 2026 — Best cordless kitchen appliances UK

Three lines described six months of using a KitchenAid Go hand mixer. We have not used one. They were rewritten as advice, and the guide now says plainly that its picks are research-led.

28 September 2026 — Recipes

Some recipes were published before Gareth had cooked them. They are withdrawn until he has cooked each one from the page as written and photographed it. Recipes now publish only after that.

26 September 2026 — Various articles

We checked first-person lines across the site against what Gareth has actually done, owned or used. 21 described experience that wasn’t his. They were rewritten as advice, and one diary-style article was withdrawn.

18 September 2026 — Best heated clothes airers UK

Our comparison table carried price ranges that had fallen well behind the market: the DrySoon Deluxe was listed at £60–£80 against a live price of £169.99, the Lakeland Dry:Soon at £45–£60 against £159.99, and the Duronic CA20 at £35–£50 against £79.99. The payback figure built on those numbers was wrong as a result, and the CA20 wattage was given as 230W rather than the 202W on the listing. All corrected, the payback period restated as four to nine months depending on the model, and a dated price-check note added so readers can see when the figures were last verified.

4 August 2026 — How we research

Our research page described fifteen years of allotment growing. That conflated two separate things: fifteen-plus years of growing fruit and vegetables generally, and three years on an allotment specifically. Corrected to state both accurately.

3 August 2026 — Product guides, various

We reviewed every first-person claim on the site and rewrote any we could not properly evidence — including some where the underlying use was real but the evidence had never been published. Where we genuinely own and use something, we now show it.

22 May 2026 — Breadmaker guides

Two breadmaker posts described our baking experience in a way that merged separate timelines. Corrected to state the accurate tenure: 25+ years baking bread at home.

This page was created in August 2026. Corrections made before that date have been logged retrospectively where we have a clear record of them, so the log is not exhaustive before August 2026 — we would rather say that than imply a completeness it doesn’t have.
