Here is an example: Our team of reviewers at ZDNET only write about deals we personally can vouch for and would personally recommend.

Our recommendations may also be based on our own testing — in addition to extensive research and comparison shopping. The goal is to deliver the most accurate advice to help you shop smarter.  More
