Brutally Honest.
Mildly Sarcastic.
I test gadgets, edibles, and weird stuff so you don’t waste your money.
Hey, I’m Tony. 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 “No BS” Pledge
How I run things around here.
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 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.
Meet Tony
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.
By day, I’m a full-time custodian at Iowa State University. 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.
I live with my fiancé Lauren, our blended family of kids, a grumpy dog named Carl, a queen cat named Willow, and a chaotic Great Dane puppy named Ruby.
