Here at CHOICE we've built our reputation on the strength of our rigorous and scientific testing of goods and services.
Our testing process is what we're famous for and the key to Australians' trust in us. So, as you can imagine, we take our testing seriously.
- We have a dedicated team of testers, many of them experienced scientists.
- We pay retail price for all the items tested.
- We use a range of metrics such as price, durability and ease of use.
- Our tests are completely independent, unbiased and transparent.
And although we might be famous for testing washing machines, we put more than just whitegoods under the microscope. Our team of experts tackle electronics, baby products, food products, financial services and much, much more.
