Once you have registered and logged in, you will be able to see all the products in The Ratings, which is the main product database, and FirstLook, which includes the newest products. As a Registered User, you will also be able to see the numerical and star rating for each product, as well as its ranking in its specific category. In addition, some manufacturers have submitted videos, Power Point presentations, or other information in PDF format to present their side of the story. These are optional sections for manufacturers for which they pay a fee. However, the submission of the these optional sections do not in any manner influence the product rating or commentary. The fees paid by manufacturers enable us to keep our membership fees as low as possible. Please be aware that there is absolutely no fee for manufacturers to submit products and there is no fee when we post the FirstLook preview or the full evaluation in The Ratings.

For browsing, merely click on the large links for The Ratings or FirstLook. The various product categories in each section are listed alphabetically on the left side of the page. You will also notice that the number of products in each category is listed in parentheses to the right of the category name. Any of the categories can be opened by merely clicking on it. In The Ratings, the products are ranked in their respective categories by their numerical rating. Products are not ranked or rated in FirstLook.

If you are a member, you can click on individual products and see all the details. In The Ratings, there is a section at the beginning of each product commentary called Raves & Rants. This gives you a capsule view of the product. Pricing is typically broken down to the cost per unit so similar products can be compared and you can compare the relative costs of kits vs. refills. The middle part of each evaluation in The Ratings includes all test results and comments on the item's packaging and directions. Finally, the product is summarized at the end in the box containing the product's strengths, weaknesses, and bottom line.

As a member, you are also encouraged to take advantage of the rating and comment boxes reserved for you. This feature is very popular on many sites and allows members to interface with other members.

FirstLook previews do not include rankings or ratings, but the commentary for these products should help you decide whether these products warrant your consideration. As a member, you also have the ability to add your comments.

There is also an alphabet and single-digit numbers horizontally positioned above the category lists in both The Ratings and FirstLook. Click on any letter or number and all the products that begin with that letter or number will be listed.

Finally, for the fastest way to find a product, there is a "search" field in the upper right corner of virtually every page. Merely insert the product name and hit "enter".  If we include the product on the site, it will be found within the blink of your eye. In other words, very fast. This is an outstanding feature of the site.
