The site features price searches, reviews and online manuals for thousands of electronic devices. Users can search for the best price on a product, read reviews of the product from around the web, or obtain manual pages and other technical data about the product.

The site also features a convenient side-by-side product comparison feature, which allows you to compare product specifications in an easy to read list form. Registered users have access to My Retrevo, which allows them to save products to a Wish List, save Manuals for products that they own, and save Comparisons.

In Their Own Words:

General search engines give piles of unorganized data for users to sift; publisher test labs evaluate only a small set of products or provide support tips that get obsolete before you know it; shopping sites compare prices but don’t help consumers find the best fit and retailers are limited to select manufacturers. Who can make sense of all this?

Retrevo does the research legwork for consumers, quickly providing objective and impartial answers saving people time. Our real-time independent Web service aggregates, comprehends and summarizes important information on electronics products from experts, users,
