How we pick the deals on CNET
Many of us at CNET have covered shopping events for more than five years, including Black Friday, Big DayMemorial Day and countless others. Not to mention covering, researching and hunting for deals every day. We’ve succeeded in eliminating scams and superficial deals, so you only see the best offers from around the world.
When we choose the deals to show you, we look for real discounts, quality reviews and time left on sale. Our team of experts has tested many products to ensure that we only share the best deals.
- Real discounts mean just that. We look at the price history of that product to make sure no brands are raising prices to make the discount seem bigger than it is.
- Quality reviews and in-depth testing are essential for any product. If you’re not happy the first time you use it, the discount wasn’t worth it.
- Remaining sales time is a big part of our evaluation process. If a deal looks like it will only be available for a short time or will only be available from remaining stock, we’ll let you know in advance so you don’t go back on the deal later to be disappointed.
