Product testing

Wasn't sure where to put this,

I really want to become a home tester for products, but I'm not after being paid. I'd just like the products, to test them and maybe get to keep it for my troubles?

I'm a stay at home mum so have spare time to do a survey about the product etc. I applied to tesco home panels but I'd like to know about any others.


I've searched the forum but can't find anything, any ideas? Thanks :)

    Hi Tina,

    I use https://www.paidproducttesting.co.uk - great website as you usually keep the products, but sometimes you have to wait a while to be asked to test a product, still worth joining though ;)

    Would also recommend https://www.pineconeresearch.com - but it's quite hard to join

    Here is an old thread but I'm sure a lot of it is still relevant! https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/808325

    Good Luck :):D:)
    :eek: 2014: £20 voucher from SurveyFriends, £10 cash payout from Panel Opinion too and working towards more from Valued Opinions currently.
    2013: £35 and £50 vouchers from SurveyFriends! More than £15 made from other paid surveys sites (Yougov, Panel Opinion, Valued Opinions, Pinecone, etc.) Happy so far!

    supersavvyme circle - they allow you to register and then email you when they have a new product to test.

    You have to tell them why you want to be a tester and they choose the people they want.

    Boots used to ask for testers but they have now closed their books.

    Vax ask for testers, you sign up for their emails and they email you when they are looking for a tester. You apply and they choose 15 at random.

    Also if you join survey companies like valued opinions, crowdology, they sometimes ask you to test products.
