Just in time for the holidays, JCPL is pleased to once again offer the electronic resource Consumer Reports Online (ConsumerReports.org.®)

This resource will bring thousands of independent reviews of small and large appliances, home electronics, cars, and more to your fingertips and empower you as a consumer to make smarter purchasing decisions.

Founded in 1936, Consumer Reports is an independent, nonprofit organization with more than 6 million members that works side by side with consumers for truth, transparency, and fairness in the marketplace. Over time, CR’s findings have shaped purchasing decisions, safety regulations, and manufacturer decisions regarding the needs and interests of consumers.

ConsumerReports.org includes Consumer Reports with Cars Best Deals Plus® to assist consumers looking for reliable information on new and used cars.

Additionally, ConsumerReports.org features extensive health content from Consumer Reports Online Health, a trusted and unbiased source of information designed to help consumers navigate the health care labyrinth.
