Our New York City-based team methodically evaluates all the latest appliances, beauty essentials, clothing and more for safety, quality and value using state-of-the-art consumer testing methods. But this does not impact the products our editors and analysts choose to feature - we always put the consumer first and only recommend products that we stand behind. We continue to meticulously test products so that you can make the best decision for your family.Īffiliate Disclosure: Our website is reader-supported, which means we may earn an affiliate commission when you're clicking through our site to a retailer.

Today, the Good Housekeeping Institute continues to earn the trust of consumers all over the globe, but, with so much new technology and equipment, the modern incarnation of the Good Housekeeping Institute is a far cry from the original “experiment station.” Present day, it’s an 18,000-square-foot state-of-the-art consumer testing facility in the LEED Platinum-certified Hearst Tower set in the heart of Manhattan. Product testing at the Good Housekeeping Institute has always been conducted using state-of-the-art lab equipment as well as feedback from consumer testers.
