JimH,
In college I sold stereos and major appliances in a dept. store. 100% of
those items Consumer Reports listed as being a "BEST BUY" were those items
with the highest rate of return due to defective merchandise. Since then I
have asked other retail salesmen if Consumer Reports has improved their
track record, and they tell me they haven't, and these are stores selling
the "BEST BUY" product.

Consumer Reporst can't test a wet napkin.


Thanks for your wisdom. Next time I'll forgo my subscription and call
you for advice.....not!

The tests that CR runs are now real world and their depth of testing is
cursory.



I tend to give credibility to the Consumer Report tests.

Exactly what do you not agree with their testing protocol on autos and
trucks?
