The Filter US is the Guardian's new product reviews and recommendations site, grounded in rigorous testing and first-hand experience. We'll offer rigorous assessments of items for home, travel, wellness and more, as well as enlightening interviews with product experts, advice on taking care of what you already own, and gift guides to help you find thoughtful things for others.

Our approach is shaped by the fact that the Guardian is a global news organization, and we will seek perspectives on what to buy from around the world. Moreover, we will take into account questions of sustainability and ethical consumption. Our goal is to help you buy fewer, better things.
