# TRaSH Guides

5 Hacker News commenters recommended TRaSH Guides and 2 criticized it, November 2025 to November 2026. It was recommended in 4 of 13 months.

**Verdict:** Free guides for setting up Sonarr and Radarr quality profiles, recommended by people who cherry-pick from them. Power users find it easier with Recyclarr, and it has a learning curve.
