I like consumer search--they look at and summarize all the major review sites and tell you their top picks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-to-research-a-product-like-crazy-before-purchasing#post-1051226 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 07:39:08 +0000 Caly 1051226@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh...yessss...obsessively. Right now I'm in my own personal hell researching baby stuff &amp; it's driving me crazy.

I make DH do the research for things like that. Then I just have to ok for the style </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-to-research-a-product-like-crazy-before-purchasing#post-1051105 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 06:46:28 +0000 butterbean 1051105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yes!!! i research and price shop...except for electronics - DH handles that...he researches and i encourage him to price shop (he likes to just go with his gut instinct and make a purchase) :happy: </p> <p>hope one day we'll be able to build a house!! DH and I talked about it but neither of us have taken any action (it just seems like a lot of research/work to do) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-to-research-a-product-like-crazy-before-purchasing#post-1050988 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 03:15:14 +0000 banana 1050988@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh I'm ridiculous when it comes to researching.

I spent FOREVER looking for a coffee table. DH usually gets more into the technical aspect of appliances, but if it goes along with my tastes, I generally let him go for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-to-research-a-product-like-crazy-before-purchasing#post-1050946 Thu, 29 Aug 2013 00:01:42 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1050946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I'm a crazy researcher. I can spend hours reading reviews online, and still not come to a decision... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-to-research-a-product-like-crazy-before-purchasing#post-1050655 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 20:40:17 +0000 Purpledaisy 1050655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spend way to much time researching and reading reviews! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-to-research-a-product-like-crazy-before-purchasing#post-1050635 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 20:24:33 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1050635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't like it. Fortunately DH does so he researches everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-to-research-a-product-like-crazy-before-purchasing#post-1050631 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 20:22:36 +0000 Lindsay05 1050631@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I spent hours and hours researching cloth diapers. Seemed like the reviews are so wishy washy for all diapers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-to-research-a-product-like-crazy-before-purchasing#post-1050615 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 20:12:45 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1050615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really, but DH likes it so he's in charge of that portion of things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-to-research-a-product-like-crazy-before-purchasing#post-1050610 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 20:11:02 +0000 MrsTal 1050610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I am an obsessive researcher. I comb through reviews, reports, and look in person to make sure something is the right choice for me. It could be appliances, furniture, trips, hotels, anything to help me feel prepared. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-to-research-a-product-like-crazy-before-purchasing#post-1050606 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 20:09:26 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1050606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. And yes, home building was a special hell! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-to-research-a-product-like-crazy-before-purchasing#post-1050604 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 20:09:03 +0000 Smurfette 1050604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Some things and some no.</p> <p>I am overwhelmed with convertible car seats so I am making<br /> DH do the research this time. I am giving him a list of some to choose between. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-to-research-a-product-like-crazy-before-purchasing#post-1050603 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 20:08:27 +0000 PurplePumps 1050603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I research the hell out of everything!

About everything: purchases, travel, services...just everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-to-research-a-product-like-crazy-before-purchasing#post-1050590 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 20:00:34 +0000 MsLipGloss 1050590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To a point, yeah. But then I just totally burn myself out on it, make a decision, and move on. And hope that I got it right!</p> <p>I am doing that right now with umbrella strollers! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-to-research-a-product-like-crazy-before-purchasing#post-1050574 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 19:53:52 +0000 mrs.shinerbock 1050574@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It really depends on how much I care about it. Decorating - yes, appliances - no. I usually just tell DH the top 2-4 things that are important to me and he'll do the research and show it to me. Then he'll usually find a deal on it and buy it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-to-research-a-product-like-crazy-before-purchasing#post-1050569 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 19:51:44 +0000 MrsH 1050569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Until I find something I like. @chopsuey: we did buy all Whirlpool for our house three years ago and it has held up great. The architect series is what we went with. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-the-type-to-research-a-product-like-crazy-before-purchasing#post-1050560 Wed, 28 Aug 2013 19:48:44 +0000 chopsuey 1050560@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hate researching and checking reviews!<br /> I wish someone would just tell me what the best fridge, double oven, washer/dryer, range, dish washer and microwave are..!</p> <p>Building a house is great, but so many decisions to make! Not good for this indecisive person! </p>
