The idea for Dokier came from something almost every homeowner has experienced — standing in a store aisle or scrolling through endless listings online, trying to figure out which lawn mower was actually worth the money, which hedge trimmer wouldn’t die after one season, and which pressure washer could really handle a driveway full of grime without falling apart in six months. Too often, the answer was buried under confusing specs, inflated marketing claims, or reviews that felt more like advertisements than honest feedback.
