Editorial policy

Editorial policy

Sourcing standards, exclusions, corrections, and the specific claims this site will not make under any circumstances.

Last updated August 31, 2026

Every number on this site traces to a named, linked source. We publish no estimate as a measurement, no testing claim, no fabricated review, and no price we cannot verify live. Where we do not know something, the page says so.

Sourcing standards

What we accept as a source, by claim type
What we accept as a source, by claim type
ClaimAcceptableNot acceptable
Wattage and voltageThe manufacturer's manual, rating plate or listing, cited per modelAnother affiliate site's number; any aggregate
Electricity rateUS EIA published average, with retrieval dateUnstated rates; UK or EU figures for a US page
Safety certificationThe mark or standard the manufacturer namesInference from brand reputation
RecallsThe CPSC databaseSecond-hand reporting of a recall we have not confirmed
Wash and care rulesThe specific manufacturer's instructionsGeneric category advice presented as a maker's rule
Price, rating, review countThe live retailer data layer, timestampedAnything remembered, cached or hard-coded

The second column of that table is the operative one. An aggregator publishing a single 400 W figure for every blanket at every size is the exact thing we will not do, and noticing that such figures circulate unsourced is part of why this site exists.

Claims we will never make

What gets a product excluded

  1. 1It cannot be resolved to a live listing. Every product here was read off a real retailer page.
  2. 2It has an open safety recall. Checked against the CPSC database.
  3. 3Its buy link cannot exist. We do not write a recommendation the reader cannot act on.
  4. 4Its only claim is unquantified. A product whose entire differentiation is an unmeasured marketing phrase is not ranked on that phrase.

Independence

No advertiser, manufacturer or affiliate program has any input into what appears here, in what order, or what we say about it. We accept no free products and no sponsored placements, and every link on the site goes to a single retailer under a single program, so there is no product we could favor for a better rate. Detail on how we are funded.

Corrections

We will get things wrong. Manufacturers rewrite listings, specifications change, and we may simply misread something.

  1. 1Tell us, ideally with a link to the source showing the correct figure. Use the contact form or write to info@woolwatt.com.
  2. 2We check the source you name. Not our previous conclusion, the source.
  3. 3We fix the page and date the fix. The updated date on the page changes.
  4. 4If the error was material, we say so on the page. A number that changed a recommendation gets a visible note rather than a silent edit.

Authorship

Everything here is written by Scooter M., an enthusiast who reads the manuals and does the arithmetic. Every page carries that byline and a visible last-updated date. There is no editorial team and we do not imply one. More on about.

AI and how this content is made

Worth stating because plenty of sites do not. Content here is assembled from manufacturer listings that were read and recorded during a research pass, and the arithmetic is computed from those figures by the code that renders the page rather than typed by hand. That is why the cost in a table and the cost in a paragraph can never disagree.

What that process does not do is invent a number. If a manufacturer publishes no wattage, no stage of this pipeline is permitted to supply one, and the page says the figure is not published instead. That constraint is enforced in the data model itself: a wattage cannot be stored without a citation.

Sources

Every specification on this page traces to a published manufacturer listing or a government data source. Where a maker publishes no wattage, we say so rather than estimating one.
