The Pass List

I do not love everything I test.

These were bought or sent, used properly, and did not earn a place. Nothing here is a pile on, and none of it is about being harsh for engagement. A product can be well made and still be wrong for me, and where that is the case I say so and point you at what I would buy instead.

The rule

A pass is about fit, not a verdict on the brand. I say what did not work, who it might still suit, and where I would put the money instead. If I only ever published the things I liked, the approvals would be worth nothing.

Nothing on the pass list yet. It will fill up, because most things do not earn a spot.

  • One thing I stopped using, and why
