Inputs We Use
- Official product pages and visible seller claims.
- Public review profiles and product-page rating distributions.
- Recurring complaint themes such as shipping, warranty, parts, battery, and setup issues.
- Visible price, stock, marketplace, and channel information at the time of review.
- Alternative products or buying channels that may reduce service or fulfillment risk.
Risk Scores
Risk scores are editorial summaries, not guarantees. They reflect the strength of positive purchase signals, the severity of complaint themes, the clarity of seller policies, and the likely cost of a bad purchase outcome.
Price Checks
Prices can change after publication. DealRisk pages show the date a price was checked and ask shoppers to verify final checkout price, tax, shipping, returns, and warranty terms on the seller site.
