independent since launch
Hi, I'm Nick
I've been reviewing technology since 2002, and I started BTTR.reviews 20 years later because I wanted to write reviews the way I like to read them. BTTR Reviews offer personal experience, not scores to be slurped into an algorithm. I'm based in Sydney, Australia, and I test everything myself, with a mission to help all Australians Buy Better.
