It's frustrating there are so many bad reviews when it's not like basic material testing is that complicated. If a few of these media conglomerates just ripped off the things Project Farm does to branch out what products are tested, that would be immensely helpful. As a bonus, much of his testing is actually interesting to watch, so you'd actually be generating double the content, the review and the test itself.

I do enjoy Project Farm is testing more household items these days. The trashbag torture tests this week were good. He tests enough catagories that with whatever item he's testing, you can see what is the best value for daily use or what to get when you really need something to work no matter what you throw at it.

I've purchased a few things after listening to him yell at me for 20 minutes. The reviews are useful, but I wouldn't watch for pleasure.

Lol he is loud I guess. I'm surrounded by louder people, so I don't notice. 😁

You can always skip to the results chart at the end. I do that for things I'm kinda interested in but will probably never buy.
