Corrections Policy
How to report an error, what we do with it, and how corrections are recorded.
This site holds a large number of technical figures, and manufacturers change them without notice. Some of what is here will eventually be wrong. When it is, we would rather know.
How to report something
Email us through the contact page. The most useful reports include:
- The page address
- The figure you believe is wrong
- What it should be
- Where that comes from — ideally a link to the manufacturer's own page
A link to an official source lets us verify and fix the same day. Without one it takes longer, because we will go and find the source ourselves before changing anything.
What we do
- We check the manufacturer's current documentation, rather than taking the correction on trust — in either direction.
- If the report is right, we correct the record, update the verification date, and re-check the pages that depend on it.
- If the manufacturer's documentation supports what we published, we leave it and explain why. Sometimes the difference is a regional variant, and we record that instead.
- We reply either way.
Significant corrections
Where a correction materially changes a recommendation — a slope rating, a working area, a navigation capability — we note it on the mower page rather than changing the figure silently.
Manufacturers
If you represent a manufacturer and something here is inaccurate, please contact us with the correct figure and a link to your own published documentation. We will correct it.
We will not, however, remove an accurate specification, an accurately described limitation, or an honest statement that a figure has not been published. Nor will we accept payment to change how a product is described. Our usefulness to readers depends entirely on not doing those things.
What we will not correct
- Statements that a specification is "not published", where the manufacturer has genuinely not published it. Sending us the figure privately is welcome — we will then ask where the public source is, because that is what makes it verifiable for readers.
- Editorial judgements that are clearly labelled as such.
