Frequently asked questions
Become a Philips Product tester
- Why is Philips carrying out product testing?
-
Product reviews on the Internet are becoming more and more important and represent one of the most important decision criteria for a purchase for most customers. Product reviews also offer insight into the quality or functionality of the product from the customer's point of view and are therefore important for us as a manufacturer. Based on customer feedback, we can take measures to improve the product or possibly remove it from the range.
- How to become a product tester?
-
Sign up and activate your account via the confirmation e-mail. 'My Philips' members are already registered and can log-in immediately. Then select and apply for the test you’re interested in. Remember to keep your address information up to date.
- How is a product tester selected?
-
In principle, anyone can apply for a product test. Suitable testers are selected in the application process (using a questionnaire). The selection is intended to ensure a reliable and qualitative test. Example IPL device Lumea (BRI950 / 00):
The IPL device is an innovative hair removal system from Philips. The hair roots are processed with light pulses and thus put into a state of rest.
This technology is not suitable for tattooed skin as there is a risk of burns. Because of this, people with many or big tattoos will not be considered for the test.
If you have applied for a test and been rejected, we encourage you to apply again for future tests. We often have more applicants than we can accept product testers.
Process of the product test
- I have received the test product. What’s next?
-
In the coming days you will receive an e-mail from us that will officially inform you about the start of the test phase. You can then start to test your product.
IMPORTANT: As soon as the test phase has ended and the review phase begins, you will receive another e-mail from us. In this e-mail, you will find important information on writing the review, on which retailer pages you should leave a review and receive further information on the test procedure. Please do not start reviewing until you receive this e-mail.
- Do I have to write in my review that I received the product for the purpose of a product test?
-
Product reviews on the Internet are becoming more and more important and represent one of the most important decision criteria for a purchase for most customers. The essential factors of a review are above all credibility and honesty. Accordingly, these factors are important when reviewing our product tests. So please mention in your review that you got in collaboration with Philips the chance to test this product.
- Can I also write negative reviews?
-
Objectivity and honesty are top priorities in our product tests. You should express your honest opinion about the test product in the review. A negative rating has no influence on whether you are allowed to keep the product or on the selection for future product tests.
- The test product does not work / I need help with the initial installation. Whom can I contact?
-
Please try to carry out the initial installation with the help of the user manual to find a suitable solution. If you need further support, our customer service will be happy to help. Please visit our contact page at philips.com/contact
- What do I do with the product at the end of the test?
-
After you have finished testing and have left your review for the product, you may keep it for free. In special cases, returning the test product (regardless of the written review) is part of the test procedure. However, you will always find out about this in the test description before you apply.
- Does my rating have to be different on the different platforms?
-
No. You can also reproduce your rating verbatim on the different platforms. Again, it is important that you express your objective and honest opinion and that you follow our guidelines for writing a review.
- I have further questions about the procedure and participation in the test. Whom can I contact?
-
Before starting the test, we ask you to read the relevant conditions of participation and to find out about the conditions and processes on the product tester platform. If you still have questions, our Philips product tester team is available for you at any time using the contact form on the product tester platform.
- What do I have to consider when writing a review?

- Please do not mention any competitors, retailers or the price you paid for the product.
