About Home Machine Guide

Home Machine Guide compares the machines people buy for their homes and garages: carpet cleaners, wet-dry floor cleaners, steam mops, vacuums and shop vacs, cordless tools and their battery platforms, jump starters, standing desks and office chairs, and self-cleaning litter boxes.

What we do. Each guide starts with one buying question, states the criteria we use to answer it, and compares current models in a table built from current listing data and the makers' own spec pages. We say who each model fits and when to skip it, and we show where a listing states the same spec two different ways.

What we do not do. Our comparisons are research-based. We have not tested these products by hand unless a page says so and shows our own photos. We do not give star ratings, we do not show prices, we do not make health or safety claims, and we do not accept payment or free products from brands for placement.

Who writes it. Guides are written by the Home Machine Guide Editors. Pages are drafted with the help of AI tools from our own criteria and structured product data, checked by an automated rule set and by an independent reviewer, and read by the site owner before they go live. See How we compare and our Editorial policy.

How the site is paid for. We earn a commission when you buy through our Amazon links; see the Affiliate disclosure.
