I have been a member of Home Tester…

I have been a member of Home Tester Club for about 3 years or more and I love it! It is definitely legitimate. When I first joined I would register for any products I would be interested in and I received some amazing items! One of the items I received was a Hum electronic toothbrush in a beautiful purple color, which retails for $69.99 and a few other items from brands like Aveeno etc. I started receiving products pretty quickly and it is very easy to register for products and to leave the reviews required after trying the products. I wasn't able to do it as much as I would've liked to because I was a full-time student but I just recently started being active and registering to try new products again so I haven't received anything else yet, but look forward to being more active and getting the opportunity to test products and write honest reviews again. A lot of people are saying that all of the reviews are fake 5* but I always write honest reviews because I depend on reviews for most of my purchases and I want to share my honest opinion and I think a lot of people are honest in their reviews as well. I also noticed people leaving reviews about this being a scam, I'm here to tell you it is NOT a scam and is actually really awesome and worth the patience. I am a part of quite a few programs that send free products to test and leave reviews for and this one is one of my favorites..just give it a shot and be patient and I promise it will pay off!

Worthless Reviews

The reviews left for products on this site are completely worthless. People leave 5* reviews for everything because they believe that will give them a better chance of receiving a free product to test. People would leave a 5* review for a piece of s#it if they think they may get a free tube of toothpaste.
I don't use instagram or facebook so it is obvious that I have ZERO chance of ever being selected for a product test because the companies that submit products to Home Tester to be reviewed are basically just after free advertising.
So, all in all, home tester club is complete rubbish.

Home Tester's Club is by far The Best Rate & Review Club Available!!

Home Tester Club is one of... If not the very best tester's club available. I've been a member for several years now and I have received numerous free products to test & review. I've found that it is by far the most user friendly as well as very simple to do and they require minimal tasks after testing your free product. They only require that you complete a post use survey, uploading a photo or video certainly is encouraged but not required. If you write a review for every free product you receive, you will continue to receive free products in exchange for an honest detailed review. Home Tester's Club is by far my very favorite test & review website.

Look at the names of the testers

Look at the names of the testers They always seem to be the same Makes you wonder if they just get info online from "suckers" and use the same people over and over to test Or if the products are available for testing at all Sounds like a huge scam to me

NO OFFERS FOR ME

I have received products to review in the past. It's so easy for people to call anything fake nowadays.This site is legitimate.
I belong to two other review sites that send out many products. I'm
consistently receiving products to review, some of them quite pricey, so it's no big deal if Hometester Club doesn't work out for me.

Good, be patient and register internet

I registered a few months ago, I’ve left some reviews for things I have bought and tried. I register my interest in most test products. I’ve received two items up to now. Plasters and some noodles. I feel you have to be patient and understand you’re not always going to get selected and also sometimes you have to be willing to test some less glamorous products. At the end of the day, the majority are being given for free (on occasions you might be asked to purchase something at a discounted rate), you can’t expect to be successful all the time. The reviews left on trust pilot I think are unfair, although your experience may not necessarily be the best, it’s not a scam. I mean I’d love to be selected for a shark, dyson or another great quality product but I’m quite happy with what I’ve received. For free. I am actively checking daily for new tests, you win some & you lose some. Hopefully in the future I’ll get to test and review some quality products. But overall my experience is positive.

Discriminatory site

When I first joined this site in 2014 I got to test 5 products all in that first year or 2. After that I received nothing despite applying over and over. I quit for a couple of years and decided to come back and try again. Same thing, getting nothing. They then sent an email saying that they only send products to those who post reviews and have thousands of points already. So they discriminate and won't let people who don't have a lot of points get anything.
OK so I made 4 reviews and posted a photo to test it out... no points rewarded despite them saying that is how you get said points. *Edit* It seems I had to wait 5 days for points to show up and they are not awarded instantly */edit*. At this stage I am going to say it's a scam for a majority of people or at the very least a waste of time. Maybe if they gave people who haven't had a sample in years something then they would get reviews in return.
Also the reviews are probably bogus anyway, everyone seems to give 4-5 star reviews on everything in the hopes of getting freebies.

We received a tefal steam iron...was really excited to trial the item but it is faulty. Trying to contact Home tester club....totally impossible. Expensive piece of kit. Just can't seem to get this resolved. Unable to use the guarantee as no proof of purchase!! What a waste.

Only joined a month or two ago

Only joined a month or two ago, and got selected for my first product, it is a legit site you just need to keep applying some things will relate for you, and some won’t, you’re not supposed put what product you have received until the trial period is over, will be leaving honest reviews, also you can review products on their page as well, if you’ve brought or tried them before.
Just be patient when applying as you won’t receive every item you’ve applied or been selected, give it time and patience and look regularly at the product testers see if any apply for you then apply for that product,

Honestly I’m very pleased with the product I received, it’s amazing and would of never expected that from any website before, it is worth the wait and very happy with the product!

It’s not a scam.

Powerful Mini Vac

I think the ion vac is a very good mini vac. It has 3 settings and it has a lot of power. Picks up all messes and is easy to empty and keep clean. I would recommend this product.

Only been registered a few months and have been selected 3 x now. Received a eye shadow, full size mascara and now a expensive full size cream 50ml is on its way. My first review was concise and honest. Just be patient as they have lots of people to select from but are authentic. I think this site is great and I will continue to review their products happily.

Waste of time

I've been registered to this website for a year now and nothing shows up in the test page. It definitely feels like a scam seeing as I can't even look at products.

Avoid!

Have been a member for several months now and have never once been selected. I'm starting to think this is just a way to harvest your info to sell on to other companies. Complete waste of time at best, a total scam at worst.

Shame - can no longer test as no social media

I tested several products for this company over a couple of years and really enjoyed it but just about every single product now requires you to upload photos and video to social media. I closed my Facebook account several years ago due to them selling personal data but it seems I'll now have to close this account too. Shame.

Thank you for your Home Tester Club review. We'll be sad to see you go and miss out on all the campaigns that you could potentially participate in, and also the contributions that could be made to helping the Global community make informed and better product choices. Not all product tests require social media posting - particularly confidential product tests.
We hope you'll soon be able to take part in a test soon!

Genuine tester club with no catch

Hi,
I’ve been a member for a couple of years and have several products come my way. It doesn’t take long to register your Interest in trialling a product however there is only a limited number of products to trial and I’m guessing more and more members who are joining so if you think you are going to get chosen every time then your mistaken. That said the full process is really easy, the products are from well known suppliers and brands not unknown businesses from Amazon so the quality of the products is never in doubt. Write honest reviews, take pictures and share on social media if you can.

I love home tester club

I love home tester club. Have received many items and it is thanks to them that people such as myself that cannot afford high end brands can actually try them out. I have just received an amazing tefal fryer/grill/steamer to try out and have already used it and its brilliant.

It's so lovely to hear that the Home Tester Club product tests are loved and enjoyed by so many - thank you for sharing your experience. New products are available on shelves everyday, and by having the opportunity to test, or read how others feel about certain products, it lowers the risk in purchasing expensive products that are potentially not right for the consumer.
Thank you!

No social, no tests

This used to be great, but now basically all the tests need you to upload a photo and/or a video to Instagram or Facebook.
So if you are like me and do not have social accounts, you cannot test anything anymore.
This is going on for a few months now and unfortunately I cannot see it is going to change.
How unfortunate, I really liked HTC.
