UAC Reviews

UAC Reviews is a channel on YouTube of tech device reviews. The motto of the channel is "Made with the average consumer in mind". This channel has over 120 thousand subscribers. Unlike most tech review sites and YouTube channels that review everything that is the latest and greatest for those tech junkies that have to keep up with the newest things, UAC Reviews focuses on reviews on products that would be relevant the average consumer. He does not give reviews of the highest performance computers, per se, but he does highlight gadgets that "average" people would be interested in and could find a practical use for. There are a bunch of tech websites that also have similar content to UAC but are owned by CBS (CNet), Gizmodo and The Verge. Those are large companies and UAC is just one guy. His access to a vast amount of electronics is not that of the larger sites but the reviews are more insightful and real-world oriented than the others that merely highlight technical specs. Headphones seem to be the more popular item reviews he makes, with speakers and cell phones not too far behind. Giveaways to viewers are done often unlike the larger CNET reviews that could afford it as well, even on a larger scale. But even for a small-scale production like his, the video quality is amazing and does not ever feel cheap. The home office setting sets a personal feel to the video.
Most would be intimidated from doing tech reviews because it is an incredibly expensive field but big corporations do not have to be involved to do so.
