About HomeTryout

HomeTryout is run by Tyler Wells, from Carlsbad, California. Tyler has spent his working life in sales — including roofing sales and giving product demos — and he learns new products fast. This site is his long-term side project alongside a remote job hunt: honest, practical guides to home gear, built around what people are actually buying.

We test things at home. That is the whole idea. If a product is in a guide, it is there because the research says people buy it and it fits the question — not because a brand paid us to put it there, and not because it is a personal hobby. We do not claim to be engineers, electricians or vets, and we do not give medical, electrical or veterinary advice beyond the manufacturer's own instructions.

We are not a store. We do not sell anything here. When you buy through a link on this site, the merchant may pay us a commission — see the affiliate disclosure.
