About the desk

Our Review Principles

Puff Curious Button began with a drawer of half-working gadgets: a bulb that forgot its schedule after every power cut, a plug whose app vanished, a doorbell that needed a subscription to show yesterday's visitor. We started writing down what actually helped, and what we wished we had known before buying.

What we believe

One good change first

We recommend fixing a real problem well before adding more devices.

Ordinary homes

We test in a rented flat and an older family house, with consumer routers and imperfect wiring.

Time matters

We revisit devices after months, through updates, outages and battery changes.

No paid placement

Manufacturers cannot buy coverage or rankings. We name limitations alongside strengths.

Safety first

We flag when work needs a qualified electrician, landlord consent or insurer approval.
