Make Smart Purchases with Consumer Reports Online

President’s Day often brings some of the biggest sales of the year on appliances, electronics, tools and home goods. Before deciding whether this is the right time to buy, your Canton Public Library card gives you full access to Consumer Reports Online.

This trusted resource provides unbiased reviews, reliability ratings and detailed product information to help you determine whether you actually need something new, what features matter most and which brands perform well over time. With clear comparisons across price ranges and categories, you can quickly see whether a product is a smart upgrade or something to reconsider.

Consumer Reports Online also helps you sort through models and brands that look similar but vary widely in quality. Whether you are considering a new air fryer, laptop, mattress, doorbell camera or noise-cancelling headphones, you can view side-by-side ratings, recommended models and in-depth testing data.

Their buying guides explain what to look for, what to avoid and which products offer the best value during seasonal sales. Consumer Reports Online can help you make purchases based on research rather than advertising.

If you need help accessing the database or want an overview of how it works, our librarians are always happy to assist.
