Home Tester Club UK: How to Apply to Test Products
Home Tester Club is an online community where UK shoppers apply to test products at home and then share honest reviews with other shoppers.
Millions of members have joined worldwide, and tests are matched to each person through a short qualifying survey rather than handed out to everyone.
This guide explains how to apply, what you need to do if you’re selected, and how to give your application the best chance of success.
What Home Tester Club is
Home Tester Club is a consumer community run by The Brand Power Company. Members review products, take part in surveys and, when they match, join tests where brands send samples to try.
How to apply, step by step
1. Create your member account
Choose the UK site, join with your details and confirm your email. You’ll need an account before you can apply for any test.
2. Complete your profile
Fill in your member profile fully. It helps the team see which tests suit you and is one of the best ways to improve your chances.
3. Open the Test page
The Test page lists the product tests currently open for registration. Each one shows the product type and the points you earn for registering.
4. Answer the pre-qualifying survey
Every test starts with a few simple questions. They make sure the product goes to the right person, so answer honestly.
5. Wait for the outcome
If you’re a match, the team gets back in touch. Not every applicant is selected, so keep applying to other tests while you wait.
6. Try it and review it
Selected testers receive the product, use it at home and post a review. Photos and video reviews earn extra points.
Home Tester Club has a large community and only a limited number of products to send out. Applying does not guarantee a product, and that is normal. Completing your profile and applying early are the two things that help most.
How the reviews are labelled
Reviews come from verified members only. On each product page you can filter by Home Tested, for members who received the product in a test, or I Have Tried This, for members who tried it on their own. You can also sort by rating or date.
What you earn along the way
- Points for activity: completing your profile, registering for tests, finishing surveys and leaving reviews, photos or videos.
- Top Contributor invitations: the 20 most active members each month are invited to an exclusive test with bonus products.
- A voice with brands: your feedback helps other shoppers choose better.
Is it worth your time?
It suits people who enjoy trying new things and don’t mind writing a short, honest review. It is not a guaranteed source of free products, because the number of tests is limited and selection is up to the brand and the team. If you treat it as a community you enjoy rather than a shortcut to free goods, you will get far more out of it.
Genuine product testing communities never ask you to pay a fee to be chosen. If an ad, text or social post promises a free parcel but asks for card details, a ‘delivery charge’ or a subscription first, treat it as a red flag and leave the page.
Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to pay anything to apply for a test?
No. Joining and registering for a test are free. If you are selected, the product is sent to you at no cost for you to try and review.
How long until I hear back after applying?
It varies from test to test. Some are filled quickly while others stay open for a while, so the best habit is to check your email and the Test page often.
Why haven’t I been chosen yet?
The community is large and products are limited. Keeping your profile complete and applying as soon as you’re invited gives you a better chance next time.
What are Home Tester Club points for?
Points reward activity such as completing your profile, registering for tests, finishing surveys, and leaving reviews, photos or videos. Each month the 20 most active members are invited to an exclusive test with bonus products.
What’s the difference between ‘Home Tested’ and ‘I Have Tried This’?
On each product page, ‘Home Tested’ marks reviews from members who received the product in a Home Tester Club test, while ‘I Have Tried This’ marks members who tried it on their own.
Can I review products I bought myself?
Yes. Verified members can review products they’ve tried independently, and those reviews count towards your points.
