We write about hundreds of products across dozens of categories on the Strategist every week. While we stand behind all of them, Strategist Hall of Fames are a collection of the best, most-stood-behind products in each category (kitchen, sleep, travel, to name a few) that have appeared on our website. Editors review our extensive archive and independently select our favorite products to feature, cherry-picking the already cherry-picked things to highlight the items that stand out from the pack and, in some cases, just deeply delight us.
We update our Hall of Fames at least once a year. Some items remain in the Hall of Fame year after year because they continue to be the best of the best. Others are new — new products launched that year or new-to-us products that became Strategist favorites. Each of the products featured in a Strategist Hall of Fame has previously been written about on our site.
Below are all of our Hall of Fame collections and how they are made.
Best in Class is what we call our series of carefully chosen, rigorously vetted flagship shopping guides (you can read about the Best in Class methodology here). We have over 400 of them, designed to help you find exactly what you’re looking for, from bidets and protein powders to sleeper sofas and headphones. Every Best in Class has a best overall product — the item we’d recommend to anyone who wants the very best version of that product. And all of those Best in Class winners can be found here, in our Best in Class Hall of Fame.
