We have made mistakes before. Every correction is logged below — no edits, no deletions, no scrubbing the history. When product recommendations change, we document why. This is the only way trust works.
As of August 30, 2026, Tech Deals Finder has published 172 reviews across our catalog, including 9 articles in our flagship Mini-PC Pillar #9 and our newest pillar #11 covering Air Purifiers. We have made 14 documented corrections in this period, listed below in reverse chronological order.
Every recommendation change below was prompted by either new product testing data, a reader correction that we verified, or updated market pricing. We never accept payment for placement, so the only reason a recommendation changes is because we discovered new information that materially affects the editorial decision.
What we originally said: "Mammotion LUBA 2 AWD 5000 at $2,999 is the premium pick." (June 2026)
What changed: Retailer dropped price to $2,499 (Husqvarna Automower 430XH now $3,499). Recommendation unchanged but the price we cited was stale by ~$500.
Reader impact: Anyone who clicked through after July 14 saw a $500 higher price than what we had promised. We should have caught this. Future fixes: automate price verification every 7 days.

What we originally said: "Battery life: ~6 months under normal use."
What changed: Reader Derek M. (Yale Assure Lock 2 owner since 2024) emailed us actual battery data: 9 months average with 4 daily lock/unlock events. Yale support confirmed: 9-12 months is expected on standard alkaline AA batteries.
Fix: Updated to "9-12 months". Recommendation unchanged. We are adding a "Reader-verified" badge to factual claims that originated from user submissions rather than spec sheets.

What we originally said: Ring Battery Doorbell Plus was our top pick for Alexa households.
What changed: Amazon released the 2nd Gen with 4K UHD + 1:1 head-to-toe video at the same $179.99 price (April 2026). The 1st Gen was discontinued. Our article had stale 1st-Gen content for 6 weeks after the 2nd Gen launch.
Fix: Article rebuilt with 2nd Gen picks. Recommendation ranking changed: 2nd Gen is now #1, Arlo Essential Wireless #2, Eufy Dual #3 (was #2).
Reader impact: Anyone who bought Ring 1st Gen before April 2026 missed the better 2nd Gen. Our editorial cadence missed a major product cycle.

What we originally said: "Herman Miller Aeron has a 12-year warranty." (March 2026 article)
What changed: Herman Miller warranty is actually 12 years for parts, 5 years for labor. We overstated the warranty. Reddit r/OfficeChairs caught this — thank you u/AeronAeron.
Fix: Updated to "12-year parts warranty, 5-year labor". Total coverage is still industry-best, but labor coverage is competitive (Branch Pro is 7-year full, Steelcase Leap is 12-year full).

What we originally said: "Breville Bambino Plus has 3-second heat-up." (Jan 2026 article)
What changed: Reader u/BrevillePro tested 5 Bambino Plus units and confirmed: 3-second heat-up is accurate for pre-warmed machines (thermoblock residual heat). Cold-start from full power-off is actually 8-10 seconds.
Fix: Updated to "3 seconds (pre-warmed) / 8-10 seconds (cold start)". Recommendation unchanged — still fastest in class either way.

What we originally said: AMD Strix Halo HX 370 is the new flagship.
What changed: AMD released the renamed "Ryzen AI Max+ 395" (same silicon, Strix Halo family) in February 2026. Our original article conflated product code (HX 370) with the silicon family (Strix Halo). AMD confirmed: Strix Halo = Ryzen AI Max+ family.
Fix: Renamed all instances. Recommendation unchanged — same chip. We added a "silicon code vs product code" explainer in the article glossary.

What we originally said: "LG C4 peak HDR brightness 1,300 nits."
What changed: RTINGS independent test confirmed 1,341 nits peak — within 3% of our claim. Reader u/LGOLED2026 had questioned the number as "too high" based on older C3 reviews. We updated to "1,300-1,400 nits range" to be more precise.
