Expert Reviews is a consumer product reviews website, launched in 2010 by the British magazine publisher Dennis Publishing.

History

edit

Dennis Publishing launched Expert Reviews as a consumer technology review site in February 2010 initially covering products such as laptops and TVs.[1] In 2014, new sections were added, expanding the site's coverage to include products like coffee machines and vacuum cleaners.[2] In July 2018, it was included as part of the sale of Dennis Publishing to Exponent, a British private equity firm.[3] Expert Reviews was one of four Dennis titles, alongside Cyclist, Fortean Times and Viz, that Exponent retained when Future plc acquired Dennis Publishing in 2021.[4]

In 2022, it was reported by Insider that Expert Reviews had been acquired by MVF, a global customer generation platform.[5]
