Consumer Reports

How could you benefit from Consumer Reports during this holiday season and every season? Consumer Reports is dedicated to consumer safety and satisfaction. Over the years, they’ve been recognized for helping hold manufacturers accountable and limit false advertising. Plus, while you typically have to pay a fee to get complete access to their information, Stark Library uses tax dollars to pay for digital and physical subscription. Why pay for it twice when you’ve already paid once? See – having a Stark Library card in your wallet is one of the best ways to save money during this gift giving season.

With access to more than 8,000 expert reviews on some of your favorite products – you’ll be able to view product evaluations and test results to make the best buying decision for you and your family. They’ll recommend brands whose product scored well, based on a rank of strengths versus weaknesses, and give you the best value for the cheapest price. Do you want to pay $150 for an air fryer when a $40 one still gives you crisp results?
