Hands-On Product Tester
Weeks of real-world use before any verdict.
Email: sam@keptlist.com
Sam tests products the slow way by living with them. Across home, kitchen, fitness, tech, and everyday goods, each product goes through weeks of normal use before it earns a Kept or a Cut. The focus is never the spec sheet or the unboxing hype; it’s how something holds up after the twentieth use, whether it justifies its price, and exactly where it quietly falls apart. Every review names a real drawback and says who should skip it.

I don’t care about marketing claims. I care about how a product performs after weeks of real use
Live with it, don’t unbox it. Find the failure point, judge value over price, and let every verdict be earned Kept or Cut, with the reasons spelled out.
Sam keeps a “graveyard drawer” of products that failed mid-test and checks new brand claims against it. Fastest Kept-to-Cut on record: four days. Longest test before a verdict: just over eleven months.
One email a week the verdicts worth your money, the cuts worth your caution, and the rare real deal.
