What is DigiDIY?

DigiDIY is a smart home, WiFi, and DIY electronics review site. Alex Reed tests products hands-on and writes straight-talking reviews with clear buy or skip verdicts. No affiliate relationships or sponsored rankings — just honest assessments.

Does DigiDIY earn money from its links?

Yes. DigiDIY participates in the Amazon Associates Program, which means we earn a small commission if you buy through our links, at no extra cost to you. This is how the site stays free. It does not affect our recommendations — if a product is bad, we say so.

How do you test products?

Alex personally buys or borrows the products, sets them up in a real home, and uses them before writing a word. No hands-on means no review. For products we haven’t personally tested, we say so explicitly.

Can I submit a product for review?

Yes — reach out via the contact page. We accept loaner units but accept no payment for reviews and don’t guarantee a positive write-up.
