Who's really behind Mike & Lucy?
"Mike & Lucy started with a bad kettle.
Lucy spent two weeks reading reviews, comparing models and watching videos — and still ended up with one that leaked. Mike said what we were both thinking: why is it this hard to just find out what's actually good?
So we started keeping notes. Then a spreadsheet. Then, honestly, an obsession. Every purchase became a little project: read everything, test what we could, and figure out who a product is really for — not just whether it has five stars.
Friends started asking us before buying anything. "Just check with Mike & Lucy first." At some point it stopped being a joke and became this: the honest reviews we always wished existed.
We don't do paid rankings. We don't pretend to have tested things we haven't. And if something isn't worth your money, we'll say so — even when it costs us a commission.
Because getting it right shouldn't take two weeks and a leaky kettle."
