I find that their information is quite good, even superb in certain areas. I do agree that agenda can bias such as when in a response to a letter they tried to argue that big cars are safer which violated many laws, including those of physics and statistics. That I felt badly about since the crash stats showed that when a little car meets a big car, the big car wins. But this was about 10 years ago. That editor was just plain biased and nonsensical and NHTSA's data also disproved his let's rewrite the laws of physics (F=ma).
In regards to items like blood pressure devices, they were excellent. Their results years ago are still valid and have been verified, finally by other surveys.
I also find their reliability is on the money. I often had old issues for old cars and sure enough, where something was terrible was where I had problems. So it was good, on the money, and forewarned me or at least I knew the car had problems with the whatever. In fact, it was almost invaluable for old, used cars as a rough guide. Where else to get data of 20 years ago that easily and free almost?
If there were alternative sources, then fine, I could pool the data, but often there is not anything out there.
There was a touch of we can't be wrong but I hope that changes. When they dinged a particular Norelco water filter as dangerous, they left out that a couple of years ago they had recommended it or at least featured it. That's not good but naughty.
The things with the cars might be their hope that more small and fuel efficient cars are a good thing. But I find that many women who buy Japanese cars are delighted they do not have to have as many repairs as their other cars, not necessarily American either.
Their reviews of binoculars are pretty good. Their reviews of digital cameras and wine were pretty good. And their reviews of computers and peripherals are usually quite helpful and usually in line with other reviews of the same subjects.
I wish they had more money so they could be independent of themselves and not self-promoting, but it's rough out there. It's so hard to find people willing not to want more money, even in places like Consumer Reports. In fact, there was some sort of to-do about the recent high salaries some managers were pulling down.
It's much better than nothing and I just might subscribe again. I stopped with the water filter and the car thing. That irritated me and disappointed me greatly.
