We're a small team that buys products at retail, breaks them on purpose, and tells you the truth about what we find.
ConsumerPro is an independent editorial team obsessed with rigorous, real-world product testing. We buy products at retail, log hundreds of hours of structured testing per category, and earn affiliate commissions only on the picks we'd buy ourselves. Our recommendations are never for sale — and we'll always tell you when something isn't worth buying.
A reproducible rig for every category.
Buy at retail
Every product we recommend is bought with our own credit cards, at the price our readers see.
Set up the rig
Each category has a published test plan: the same foods, the same surfaces, the same audio source files.
Run for weeks
Most reviews log 60–300 hours of structured testing. Long-term reviews continue for a year.
Publish failures too
We publish what broke, what dimmed, what stopped responding to taps. That's what readers actually need.
Independent. Always.
- §
No paid placements.
We have never accepted payment in exchange for placement, ranking, or coverage. We never will.
- §
Affiliate, not editorial.
We earn affiliate commissions on some links. Recommendations are written before we set up the affiliate link, never the other way around.
- §
Reviews are reviewed.
Every review is read by a senior editor before publication. Tester and editor are not the same person.
- §
Corrections, in public.
When we're wrong we say so, in the article, with a date stamp. We don't quietly edit history.
- §
Updates are dated.
When prices, features, or terms change materially, we re-test and date-stamp the update.
Five editors, one obsession.
Maya Okafor
Former line cook, lapsed pastry chef. Has tested every air fryer sold in the United States since 2021. Owns a kitchen scale she refuses to put away.
Elliot Park
Builds keyboards on weekends; runs our 14-microphone listening-room comparisons on weekdays. Will fight you about the LG C-series.
Harper Lin
Has dragged 47 robot vacuums across the same five floors of cat hair, dirt, and sand. Knows the smell of a failing brushroll motor by heart.
Ravi Shankar-Cole
Checks bags so we don't have to. Logs at least 80,000 air miles a year, half of them on luggage we're stress-testing.
Claire Bertrand
Tests electric toothbrushes for 90 days and cordless drills for a season. Has rebuilt a deck twice using only review samples.
