Consumer Reports
Consumer Reports is a nonprofit organization dedicated to consumer advocacy, founded in 1936. Originally known as Consumers Union, it was established to provide unbiased evaluations of goods and services during a time of limited consumer protections. The organization is headquartered in the U.S. and operates independently, as it does not accept advertising or free product samples. Consumer Reports conducts rigorous product testing across various categories, including appliances, electronics, and vehicles. It also engages in investigative reporting on public health and safety issues, advocating for consumer protection policies such as drug pricing transparency and product safety regulations. Additionally, it offers digital tools like product comparison databases and reliability surveys to assist consumers in making informed purchasing decisions. The organization targets individual consumers, providing them with access to ratings, reviews, and buying guides through a membership model.
