ASK ADAM

Yes, and I'm not going to be weird about it — that's how this works. When you click a link on Adam's Angle and make a purchase, I may earn a small commission. It costs you absolutely nothing extra. The price is identical whether you use my link or go directly to the store. These commissions are what keep the site running and the reviews coming. I appreciate every single click. Full details are on the Terms page.

Zero. Nothing. Nada. The price you see on Amazon, Target, Walmart, or anywhere else is exactly the same whether you arrive via my link or type the URL yourself. The commission I earn comes from the retailer's marketing budget, not from your pocket. In fact, I sometimes share exclusive discount codes that can actually save you money.

No — and this is something I take seriously. My recommendations are based on research, testing, and genuine value for money. I never recommend something just because it pays a higher commission. Some of my top picks have very low commission rates. My credibility is worth more to me than any short-term payout. If a product isn't worth buying, I'll say so — and I'll tell you exactly why.

Currently: Amazon (Associates Program), Target, Walmart, Best Buy, Home Depot, Lowe's, Wayfair, Chewy, Sephora, Nike, and IKEA. I'm always adding more. You can find all current store links on the Shop Links page. If there's a store you want me to add, drop me a message below.

Amazon has the widest availability and fastest shipping, which is why it's often my default. But I always try to include multiple store links when a product is available elsewhere — especially when another store has a better price. Always check the Shop Links page to compare before buying.

100%. I don't accept payment for positive reviews. Every review on Adam's Angle is my genuine opinion based on real-world use and research. I share the pros AND the cons — if something isn't worth buying, I'll tell you straight. Some products are provided by brands for review, but that never influences my verdict. I'll always disclose when that's the case. My whole thing is being the friend who tells you the truth, not the salesperson who tells you what you want to hear.

Absolutely — use the form at the bottom of this page. Tell me the product name, where it's sold, and why you're on the fence about it. I read every submission and use them to guide what I review next. Popular requests get bumped up the queue. No guarantees on timing, but I genuinely appreciate the input.

I rate products out of 10 across multiple categories relevant to that product type. The overall score is a weighted average with the most important factors carrying more weight. My scale: 9+ means buy it without hesitation. 8–8.9 is highly recommended with minor caveats. 7–7.9 is good but has real trade-offs. Below 7 means I have significant reservations and I'll tell you exactly what they are.

I review and update recommendations regularly — monthly for popular categories, quarterly for others. When a new version of a product launches, I update the review. I also monitor price changes. If you spot something that looks outdated, drop me a message and I'll fix it fast.

For full in-depth reviews, yes — I either buy the product myself or receive a review unit (which I always disclose). For product listings without a full review, I rely on extensive research including verified customer reviews, expert opinions, and my own category knowledge. I'm always clear about the difference between "I tested this" and "I researched this."

Prices change constantly — sometimes multiple times per day. The prices I show are for reference only and reflect what the product was priced when I last updated that listing. Always click through to the actual store to see the current price before buying. Prices are often lower than what I show, especially during sales events. Use my links as a starting point, then compare across stores.

Honest answer: it depends on the category. Amazon wins on electronics, books, and everyday items — especially with Prime. Walmart has the lowest prices on groceries and household essentials. Target is best for home décor, clothing, and beauty. Best Buy is the go-to for major electronics where you want expert advice. Home Depot and Lowe's are neck-and-neck on tools. My rule: always check 2–3 stores before buying anything over $50.

Black Friday / Cyber Monday (late November) — biggest deals of the year. Amazon Prime Day (July) — great for Prime members. Back-to-School (July–August) — laptops, tablets, headphones. End of model year when new models launch — previous gen drops hard. For TVs specifically, Super Bowl season (January–February) sees major cuts. My tip: set a price alert and wait for your target price rather than buying at full retail.

Not all "deals" are real. Some retailers inflate the original price to make the discount look bigger. My tips: check price history with CamelCamelCamel (for Amazon) or Google Shopping. Compare across multiple stores using my Shop Links page. Check the review count and rating — a heavily discounted product with poor reviews isn't a deal. If it's a genuine limited-time deal, it'll still be there in a few days. If it's gone, it'll come back.

Generally yes, with precautions. Look for sellers with 95%+ ratings and lots of reviews. Check if the item is "Fulfilled by Amazon" (FBA) — easier returns, more reliable delivery. Avoid sellers with very few reviews or suspiciously low prices on high-value items. For electronics and big purchases, buy directly from the brand's official Amazon store or from Amazon itself.

I'm just a person who got tired of fake reviews and paid-for opinions. I started Adam's Angle because I wanted a place where the recommendations were actually honest — where someone would tell you a product sucks if it sucks, and tell you it's great if it's great. I'm not affiliated with any retailer or brand. I'm not trying to protect relationships. I'm trying to help you not waste money. That's the whole angle.

Best way is the form at the bottom of this page — I read everything and typically respond within 1–3 business days. I'm also active on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, BlueSky, YouTube, and TikTok (links in the footer). For business inquiries, use the form and select "Business Inquiry" as the subject.

Some products I recommend may be intended for mature audiences only. Rather than restrict individual product pages, I've applied a site-wide age gate so everything is covered. By confirming you're 18+, you're acknowledging that some content and products on this site may not be appropriate for minors. Full details are in the Terms & Conditions.

Yes, but understand this: receiving a product for review does not guarantee a positive review. I will always share my honest opinion and clearly disclose that the product was provided. If you're interested, use the form below and select "Brand/Manufacturer Inquiry." Include product info and why you think my audience would care. I'll get back to you within 5–7 business days.
