Kallow.com - Simplified Shopping Recommendations

The premise behind this site is a simple one: providing those who want to buy the latest gadgets and devices with a streamlined selection of hand-picked choices. As it is propounded online, researching for days on end might not necessarily wield any satisfactory results at all, owing to the sheer number of devices that see the light of the day, and the amount of information at play.

As a result, the two-man team behind this project (Jordan and Caleb, self defined as geeks) have set out to create a site where they do all the research and comparisons, presenting you with the best that comes out of it.

The site is thus split into sections such as “Personal Electronics”, “Personal Audio” and “Home Entertainment”, and these are augmented by a “Computing” category and a “Memory & Storage” section. Each category subdivides itself into the relevant items, and by choosing any of these you are presented with a brief description and the thoughts of the guys on it. Of course, the performance is discussed at length, and pricing considerations are duly accounted for.

As a whole, it is a good approach that provides specific answers to concrete questions in a concise way. As such, the site is worth at least a visit – especially now that the holidays are almost here and it’s time to dig in your pockets.

“We started Kallow because we have family and friends who are just like you. They care about what technology can do for them, not what they have to do for technology. We found that so many of our friends spend days researching their next camera, TV, computer, or other gadget online with little success. Or instead, they suck it up and visit a big box electronics store, often ending up overwhelmed with the selection and underwhelmed with the staff. Either way, the process is confusing and frustrating for nearly everyone. It's great if you're a geek like us, but 99% of people aren't. We wanted to make shopping simple for everyone.”

It is a streamlined approach that works very well in practice.

How is the site going to evolve?
