TechRadar Reviews 132

There are so many adds on the site that it has become unreadable. Visiting the site is like being in a cloud of gnats. I spend far more time closing ads than reading the article. Site is worthless because of it.

I have seen countless articles from techradar over the years, and I STILL have not seen a SINGLE one that is at least half decent. Absolutely all of them, no matter the category, are horrible. It's like techradar specifically hires people who have absolutely no idea what they're talking about, fanboys, and people who defend anti-consumer practices. Seriously, they get even the most basic things about tech wrong. There's also no comment section to criticize the articles, or any way to report articles for their awful misinformation.

The only way you get a real review from this website? Who knows!? All their reviews are totally nonsense and obviously paid ads. Why does Google keep listing their articles?

I signed up to Trustpilot just for this. In this day and age I can't believe there is a website like TechRadar.. a say nothing, mean nothing fluff review site masquerading as a legitimate tech review and industry site. There is no critical eye here, no credible and respected tech industry analysts, only a site designed just to say just enough of kinda of positive stuff about just OK or mediocre items that even half mind tech followers would pass on for superior products, so that you click on their affiliate links to buy items. They reviewed a Creative Labs (yes that Creative Labs of used to be good long ago, but now almost ill relevant) pair of ear buds. Ear buds i passed up as a overpriced mediocre me to product, after trying out much better ear buds from several known and unknown brands. Don't get me wrong as I used to be one of Creative labs biggest fans but there is nothing they offer these days that can't be bought from other manufactures for usually much less. This is the general consensus. TechRadar is full of positive reviews of this type of gear. Hard pass!

Literal garbage content with no actual clue of tech. No basic grasp of anything tech related. Can't even get the product names they're comparing right. Go check out the 7800X3D vs 14900k review where they proclaim the latter the "winner" with "evidence" that doesn't seem to align to the rest of industry, ignoring power usage completely. They picture the Ryzen 7 box and then immediately list it in text as an Intel core i5 13600k. Never trust a word on this site.

Site keeps crashing reviews not what they used to be all very poor lost the plot

I was browsing for information on a replacement laptop; Techradars site is littered with advertising and misdirection; they say they don't take payment for reviews, but I seriously doubt that looking at the site. The information is also seriously dated. I won't be revisiting this site.

They say they don't take payment for reviews!!!
It must just be coincidence that nearly all of the devices they review they refer you to Amazon.
There are other retail companies out there TechRadar.

A site which used to be one of the best for tech reviews is now completely useless. I was looking for a wireless hard drive and their site came high in the google search. The title "Best wireless drives (January 2023): external hard drives without the wires" "By Matt Hanson published November 28, 2022" I expected up to date info. The reviews are actually from between 2015 and 2018 and none of the drives are manufactured now. A complete waste of time.

Terrible command of English...poor writing skills. Some sentences do not even make sense. My 8 year old grandson can compose better ad than what you do. Good luck...because you need it

Unfortunately more garbage; purely promotional advertising; they don't have a comments section on their articles, so can't and therefore don't, know and don't care, how BS their promotional 'reviews' are. e.g. recent article couldn't even recognise that the phone they were reviewing has a far bigger screen than the comparisons, which is exactly why it's NOT even a comparison review.

I came on an interesting article today but it was nearly impossible to read it because there was this new kind of advertisement where the ad swipes up from the bottom. You can then swipe it down but as soon as you scroll down the article, the at swiped up again. So I could not read the article.

By far the worst and most clickbait tech site you can find online. The articles are trash that tell you nothing meaningful.

Looking at adding an SSD to my sons PC and wound up on techradar. Its odd how they push certain products which CLEARLY show performance numbers and statistics that are far inferior to other comparable products.
The one I was initially reading, the reviewer at one point was comparing the item being reviewed to a completely different interface and how much slower it was etc. Apples to oranges.
The smallest amount of research would show the average person these discrepancies.
Or maybe the guy is just terrible at his job? Either way, not a reliable source to get a fair review of a product you may be interested in.
I looked at a few other random things on techradar and its all like that. A couple of minutes of my own internet searching and I found MUCH different info straight off of manufacturers sites or user submitted benchmarking sites etc.
Like someone else said, they're making money giving good reviews to lesser products so they certainly cannot say anything negative about those.
Its a clickbait advertising website.
What a shame.

Looking at your reviews along side sonos shows you are easily influenced by money look at genuine people's recent reviews of products on here when advising people to spend hundreds of pounds on junk

Extremely biased, ignorant and uninformed clickbait articles written by unqualified journalist in favor of lying to and misinforming the public. An article saying that apple is the future of gaming is an absolutely delusional statement that shows the writer's extreme bias. These articles are very insulting to those who are well educated enough to already be in the know on the industry trying to gain relevant information. Its sad that the average couch potato working a minimum wage job is more informed than most of tech radar's overpaid journalists.

TechRadar gives a comparison of "Best cheap phones in Australia 2022" and gives a link where to buy it from India..since your website is "au" you should give links to Aus.

Techradar is ridiculously biased in favour of Apples crappy iPhone range. No matter what phone they are reviewing, they always compare the device to the overpriced and overrated iPhones.
Not everyone wants or can afford those £1000+ phones. I have been more than happy with Sony and LG models and would NEVER go for one of Apple's trashy scrap metal with no sd cart slots or customisation.

Took their advice about IT security and bought Bitdefender. Only 1/2 weeks in and not happy.
Blocks a lot of things, seems to manipulate what you are doing, intrusive compared to McAfee.
Techradar has clearly not reported this correctly.
