Boston Consumers' CHECKBOOK (CHECKBOOK.org) will save you trouble, time, and money. It's the independent, non-profit, no-advertising source of ratings and advice on hundreds of types of services you use in your everyday life. See list of services covered.
CHECKBOOK only publishes ratings for a specific firm when an adequate number of ratings of that firm (sample size) is reached. Therefore, not all firms in a given category will appear in CHECKBOOK's ratings tables. |

"Consumers' CHECKBOOK patterns itself after Consumer Reports. It takes no ads and does in-depth analyses, packaging customer survey research with its own pricing data and advice. Companies aren't listed unless Consumers' CHECKBOOK has at least 10 consumer assessments."
"CHECKBOOK comes to town after beginning in Washington D.C., and San Francisco, where it’s built a reputation for excellence in consumer journalism."

CHECKBOOK provides subscriber comments on their experiences with the firms they use. Please remember that individual subscriber comments are informal. Subscriber comments may give you insight into the types of features and problems that exist in a service field, but are not the best basis for selecting or rejecting a specific firm. To assess the quality of a firm's performance, we recommend that you give more weight to the percentages of favorable ratings. Those percentages are generally based on much larger numbers of consumers' ratings (the number of consumer ratings is noted above).
