Brutally Honest. Mildly Sarcastic.

Welcome to the anti-influencer review site. No corporate jargon, no sugarcoating, and absolutely no paid fake positivity. Just real reviews from a real guy in Iowa.

The Protocol

🚫

No Sponsors

I don't accept payment for reviews. My opinions are not for sale. If a product sucks, I will tell you it sucks.

🧪

Real Testing

I actually use this stuff. Whether it's a laptop or a frozen pizza, I test it in the real world, not a sterile lab.

💸

Your Wallet First

My goal is to help you make smarter buying decisions. If something is a waste of cash, I'm the first to say so.

The Origin Story

I was born in Maryland, grew up in Florida, survived the woods of Wisconsin, and eventually landed in Ames, Iowa in 2005. I've been here ever since.

I work a regular 9-to-5 job just like everyone else. By night (and weekends), I run Tony Reviews Things. It's my way of doing what I love—messing with cool tech and eating food—without having to answer to a corporate overlord.

This site isn't about being the biggest tech outlet. It's about being the most honest one.

Got a Challenge?

I'm always looking for the next cool gadget or weird snack to test.
