Such a wonderful community to be part of!

Home testers club is one of the most amazing communities I've ever been a part of! I am a very ill person and I started doing this product testing and review stuff because I couldn't leave the house and it was something positive to do. The wonderful people at home testers club have actually written me emails personally and talk to me and gotten back to me in a timely fashion! They're part of the reason that I want to get out of bed in the morning they've shown me something that I'm very passionate about their community is probably my all-time favorite and they have such great products and I've learned so much just from joining! I look forward to many more years with them!

I live this... but Hmmm!

I have to date been select 3 times for a home test and all my other reviews I did independently.
The reason is I have been with the Home Tester Club for around 4 years, I had badges at bronze level and had been monitoring as I was aiming to reach silver level. When the Home Tester Club upgraded/made changes to their website, I lost all my badges and some points. I did however report this and nothing was done.
Whilst it was an amazing feeling to test a product officially, infleuncing and in a way promoting the product. I do not feel totally convinced there is fairness. I do participate in the surveys and majority of test application but reading some of the excellent reviews where the individuals have only been with the test club 1 or 2 years and had been selected more than double the times I have over the pass 4 years.
I really felt excited about this test club as I always wanted to be a sampler/tester and thought I could make a bit of a career or this. Getting into this pathway is almost like fort knots to become and other club adverts want money from you so it was a no brainer to sign up.

That's great that you've had the opportunity to receive and try products for free :) We trust that you'll have more to test in the future. From your contributions such as product reviews and feedback, the Community is able to learn and make better product choices. The benefits of Home Tester Club go far beyond only receiving free product.
Thank you so much for your contributions so far!

A great community to part of

I have been a member of Home Tester Club for years and love being a part of the community; plus you get to try free products. Over the years I have tried so many new items that have now become part of my regular shop. I have also read others reviews and decided to give a product I would not have normally tried a go based on what they had to say. The reviews are also not paid just based on an individuals honest review of a product.

Lily’s Gummy Beats sweet Fruity Friends

Love the fresh strawberry, orange, lemon and raspberry flavors. A easy healthy snack to pack in a lunch or for just after school treat. I like the no added sugar.

Home Tester Club showcases only a small portion of all the new products that reach shelves on close to a daily basis. By reviewing products on Home Tester Club that you've received from free, or tried on your own, you're helping the community make informed purchasing decisions. Thank you for your contribution to the community so far!

Do not register with this Website as it is a complete scam. Since I gave them my details for supposed testing and reviews of products, I have been unindated with emails and upto 5 calls per day from 3rd parties that they have obviously passed my contact details to. Do not register with this website. Total Scam!!!

We are really sorry to hear of this unusually high communication activity. The privacy of our community of Members is of extreme importance to us, and any unusual activity like this must please be raised with us, or the relevant market/country where you are signed up to. Home Testers Club does not share personal information for 3rd party contact if not agreed to by our members. Any communication direct from Home Tester Club will be in relation to activity/promotion/campaigns taking place on the Home Tester Club website.
Most communication is via email, rarely an sms message is sent relating to product test or follow up, and almost never do we call our members as a first line of communication.
We really wish you the best and hope you don't miss out on all Home Tester Club has to offer.

What a waste of time!

I thought I saw good reviews for this site. I must have joined this site for couple years. I applied to many products for reviews and have yet get selected for any. I tested ZERO products. Unlike other legit sites where I have honestly tested and reviewed many products, I doubt that this site is real.

Don't trust it and save your time. Find other legit sites instead.

Legit products on a legit site

I've been a member since March of 2021 and have tested 5 products so far. All products were full sized or large products and I do not get spammed or called like other reviews state. Yes I am a real person, no I don't spend hrs and hrs on their site. Im not sure why people post such garbage, but its probably just because you don't qualify for products and you're all salty about it. Home tester club is absolutely legit. Give them a chance. Dont be a sore loser.

What a load of spam

What a load of spam, no freebies just untold questionnaires to target you for unsolicited calls which require you to spend money. NOTE I DO NOT PART WITH ANY OF MY MONEY FOR SO CALLED FREEBIES WHEN THEY ARE NOT - IN THE SPAM FOLDER UNSUBSCRIBED you go!

I've been a member for several months

I've been a member for several months, applied for every product offered which matched my profile. Absolutely zero return for several hours per week of activity. I am simply not interested in joining a site to comment on products that I have purchased which I did in the vain hope that this would earn me 'points' to curry favour with this shady outfit so that they would give me the odd free product to try.
I doubt that they have 3.5 million members but if they do, then this is the biggest red flag to demonstrate to any new members that they will have no real prospect of receiving free samples.
Any manufacturer has only so much free product to distribute and this will never filter down to more than a small number of members and likely those members are already 'favourites' with Buchanan management.
Lastly, and since posting my comments, Stephanie Copley has rather ignorantly written above that former members like me who have claimed to spend one or more hours per week on the HomeTester site are liars. Well, I have news for you little lady, between answering emails from the company and just generally logging in each day to read comments, offer opinions on products I have bought and tried and applying for potential products to test, I easily wasted an hour or so each week. I suggest that you have had the good fortune to test 5 products but don't be so quick to dismiss others who genuinely applied themselves to enjoy similar good fortune to you.

This is a legit site

I have been a member of Home Tester Club for a little over a year and so far I have tested 6 products. This is a legit site. You receive products to test for free in exchange for your honest feedback. This site has TONS of members. You have to keep that in mind. No one will be selected for every test. Patience is the key. I realize that I have been fortunate to test the products that I have. Would I like to test more? Sure! But, I also realize that I am not the only Home Tester Club member and won’t be chosen for a lot of tests because of the high member count.

Have been a member of Home Tester Club…

Have been a member of Home Tester Club for a couple years. Ive only been chosen to try 3 products. 2 of which were things I never signed up for. Originally signed up to try products that Ive never tried before that I might like to buy in the future. So far its been a HUGE disappointment.

Registered with these people and immediately started applying to test anything and everything. Never heard anything back from them, still getting regular emails "why not try this/that."
Absolute tripe!

Absolute waste of time - unusual the moment i signed up I started to receive loads of junk emails. You will never get selected despite the personal details they ask you. Just a sham! AVOID!

My Favorite Test & Review Website!!

Home Tester's Club is one of the very best test & review programs available online. You must keep in mind they have thousands of members, if not hundreds of thousands who are in their test & review program and sometimes it may seem you will never be chosen, but I can assure you if you are active just a little bit and go choose a product you have used before even if you bought it on your own, go write reviews for those products at least a couple of times per week and you will eventually be sent a product to test & review. The #1 most important thing here is to be honest when submitting reviews and always no matter if it's negative or positive..... Leave a Review!!!!!!

Total con/waste of time!

Total con and waste of time. I been on this site for nearly a year and answer EVERY survey to register to test a product. Not received ONE product yet despite meeting the criteria for most. My profile says I haven’t left a review yet, that’s because you send me nothing to review!!! Talk about a misleading website, offers to test products but actually offers nowt.
Guessing they are using your personal information for no good.
