Home Products Reviewer
Melike focuses on home and kitchen products, testing everything from appliances to home organization solutions. Her practical approach helps readers find products that truly work.
I am a writer covering home products, kitchen appliances, home organization solutions, and household essentials. I focus on hands-on testing and practical evaluation to help readers find products that genuinely improve their daily lives and make their homes more functional and comfortable.
Prior to ToolGenX, I spent several years testing and reviewing home products and kitchen appliances for various publications. I have personally tested hundreds of products in real home environments, from small kitchen gadgets to major appliances. My approach combines practical usability testing with long-term durability assessment to provide honest recommendations.
As a ToolGenX journalist, I share the values and adhere to the standards of integrity outlined in our editorial standards. I do not accept gifts or favors from the companies we cover. Our recommendations are based on testing, data analysis, and honest assessment—never on affiliate commissions.
