About BestPicks

Honest product recommendations, built for Australia.

BestPicks is an independent product recommendation site built for Australian buyers. We exist because most product content is written for US audiences — different products, different prices, different standards, different retailers. Australians deserve better.

Our Research Methodology

We believe in transparency. Here's exactly how we create our recommendations:

  1. Product identification: We survey Australian retailers and direct brand stores to identify every product available in a category, with local pricing and availability.
  2. Review aggregation: We use AI-assisted tools to gather and analyse hundreds of real user reviews from Australian and international sources — real people, real experiences.
  3. Spec comparison: We build detailed comparison matrices covering price, features, compatibility, and AU-specific factors like local warranty, power standards, and retailer availability.
  4. Synthesis: Our editorial process combines aggregated user sentiment with technical analysis to produce clear, opinionated recommendations.
  5. Regular updates: We revisit articles when new products launch or prices change significantly.

AI-Assisted Research

We use AI tools to help gather, organise, and synthesise product information. We believe this is a strength, not a weakness — it allows us to process far more data than a single reviewer ever could. Every article has human editorial oversight, and we never fabricate reviews, testimonials, or test results.

What We Don't Do

  • We don't accept payment for product placement or higher ratings
  • We don't write fake reviews or fabricate user testimonials
  • We don't pretend to have physically tested every product
  • We don't recommend products we wouldn't use ourselves

Who We Are

BestPicks is run by a small team of product enthusiasts based in Australia. We started this site because we were tired of wading through US-centric content that didn't apply to us — wrong prices, unavailable products, irrelevant retailers. We built the site we wished existed.
