CR's Member Appreciation Week Is Coming Back Soon

Our rigorous tests are designed to determine the strengths and weaknesses of each product that comes through our labs—so you know exactly what you’ll get before you shell out your hard-earned money.

Unlike other product review companies, which may receive test models directly from manufacturers, CR does things differently. We send out secret shoppers to buy products directly off the shelves, just like you and I would. Then, we bring them back to our labs, where they are put through their paces by our testers, who are engineers, scientists, and experts of all kinds. Once those tests are complete, our writers and editors pore over the results to bring to light the information that matters to our members, and helps them shop for the best product for their needs, at the lowest prices we can find.

And as a nonprofit that accepts no advertising, we rely on member support to make this all happen.

To thank you, our members, for your continued support of Consumer Reports, we are hosting a Member Appreciation Week from September 15 to 22. We will be partnering with a number of brands, whose products have excelled in our tests, to bring you exclusive savings not available anywhere else.
