Testseek: the Perfect Shopping Review Guide

If you’re the type of shopper who wants to learn everything you can about a product before buying it, this website was made to cater to you.  Testseek is an online product review site that provides product lists, expert reviews, available prices and product ratings.  The best thing about it is that you don’t have to leave home to learn about the item that you are looking for.

Testseek has reviews that give you the general picture of the upsides and downsides of a product.  It is easy to use, comprehensive and informative.  Testseek was founded in 2005 by two Swedes, Peter Kolqvist and Fredrik Engdahl.  It is managed by Eddex Web Info Mining.  It is an aggregator of information and a reviewer of products.  Since the conception of the website, the founders have developed and added vast numbers of information that have resulted to site’s 70,000 product entries.  These 70,000 products are categorized into 200 different classes.  The site’s list of brands, models and product types have their corresponding reviews and ratings.  Each item has a user review and an expert review.   These reviews are gathered from more than 1000 websites and magazines.  The expert reviews are comprehensive and made by authorities of the product, who have in their fields of expertise, tried and tested hundreds of these while user reviews are made by consumers.  While not always reliable, user reviews are complementary to the more detailed information given by the experts.  

You will also find high-resolution pictures of the products listed that will give you a visual of the item.  This gives you an insight to its aesthetics.  The website also offers percentage ratings for each of the products so you can have a more solid grasp of how the product is faring.  A rating can be as high as 100 percent or as low as zero percent depending on its features, form and functionality.  You don’t have to go through a series of steps to find reviews as the site has a search box for you to type in a particular product—that is if you already have a brand name and model in mind.  On the homepage, you will find two categories automatically—one, the most Popular Products, and two, the most Recent Reviews.  The Popular Products lists the top searched for products in different categories with their corresponding ratings and number of reviews available.  When you click on a particular product, you will see an image of it, the summarized review (good, bad and bottomline), and its rating.  You will also know if the item has been given an award by the editors.  The award may be Best in Test or the Highly Recommended badge.

Along with an expert review for each product,  the site provides prices offered by merchants.  This is made possible by Testseek’s collaboration with PriceRunner.  The website does not only offer product specifications and details but also price ranges.  The site is, all in all, a complete shopping guide.   So if you need to buy something and do not have the time to learn its specs and features or to go the mall and compare products, you have Testseek at the tips of your fingers.  You only have to search through its easily navigable site and you’ll surely find what you’re looking for.  You’ll have the ease of technology and the comfort of not leaving your own home on your side when shopping.
