Buyers Laboratory (BLI) has been testing office products since 1961, when it was founded by the late Arthur Kallet, the co-founder and 20-year head of Consumers Union, the publisher of the highly respected Consumer Reports magazine (BLI is not affiliated with Consumers Union). BLI’s purpose has remained unchanged: to provide business consumers with impartial test reports, consulting and information services on office products to help them make the best possible purchasing decisions.

Over 40 years of independent, in-house testing: Buyers Laboratory does not accept advertising, is totally independent and performs unbiased, extensive hands-on testing of office products in its main 10,000-square-foot lab. Every comprehensive report offers an in-depth analysis of a product’s reliability, ease of use, efficiency, cost factors, features, consumable yields, image quality and much more.
