Web Site of the Week: consumersearch
Posted by: Christine Bulson
With Thanksgiving and Black Friday in the past, it is definitely time to start thinking about shopping for the holidays. consumersearch.com will help. Owned by the New York Times and part of About.Com, the mission of consumersearch.com is to help consumers make intelligent purchases. It is similar to Consumer Reports (by subscription in print and online), starting with a description of the product and some of the models that have been reviewed positively. The best individual items are analyzed and include pros and cons. This is a free site but of course there are ads (sponsored sites) where items can be purchased. For some products comparative prices are included for stores and online sites. Items are listed by broad categories including electronics, home and garden, kitchen and food and health and beauty, etc. plus a category index. Everything from pepper mills and bicycle helmets to LCD TV’s and waffle irons are evaluated. Good luck in finding the best and perfect gift!
