Everyone's a consumer,therefore everyone needs to read Consumer Reports

Date of Review:  Feb 14, 2009
The Bottom Line: I recommend that everyone read this magazine when they can - in the library, or better yet, help them out (they're non profit & always need help) & subscribe.
Review: (My rating is really 4.5 stars) This is the only magazine that I've faithfully read every month for over a decade. I keep at least 5 yrs stored conveniently in our 'library collection' at a single time because they're useful even several years later...

Consumer Reports Magazine: Should I Subscribe?

Date of Review:  Aug 11, 2001
The Bottom Line: In the "short run" Consumer Reports may not contain the products you are looking for. It is necessary to accumulate issues and use them for future reference.
Review: My mother in law who lives out of state subscribes to Consumer Reports magazine. When I visit her, I enjoy skimming through this magazine and reading up of the best products to buy for the money. I thought that I might get around paying the $26...

Do the ratings make sense?

Date of Review:  Aug 14, 2001
The Bottom Line: Consumer Reports is not the final word, but their reviews may be useful at times. Sometimes their advice will cause you to pull your hair out!
Review: Update 2/2/05

Consumer Reports online web site has improved considerably since my last review. CR sent me a discount offer, and I agreed to subscribe online as well as my magazine subscription.

Which Information Are You Getting

Date of Review:  Aug 14, 2007
The Bottom Line: CR can be a valuable source of information but they have a history of "hatchet job" reporting.
Review: Oh no!, How could anyone slander the good name of Consumer Reports? Well, when you know the facts, it's not too difficult.

If you can t find someone to roll this car, I will!

Consumer Reports Magazene: Not Gospel

Date of Review:  Aug 24, 2000
Review: Some of Consumer Reports' (CR) reviews are right on the mark, others are not.

For example, in the new car buying issue, CR says it has found VW Passat to be the best mid-size car, and Mazda Protege to be the best compact car; both twice in...

Consumer Reports - The most reliable and least reliable cars exposed!

Date of Review:  Jun 2, 2002
The Bottom Line: Consumer Reports could make this magazine much more appealing, but it still stands to be a decent source for product information.
Review: Buying a used or new product, whether it be a microwave or a new car can be quite the gamble, fortunately there are sources such as Consumer Reports magazine that are supposed to help us better our decisions. I have never subscribed to Consumer...

Epinion.com in periodical format.

Date of Review:  Jul 2, 2001
The Bottom Line: Consumer Reports makes comparison of products in tests that are fair and opinions are unbiased based solely on results or consumer reports.
Review: Consumer Reports is a comprehensive review of thousands of products put to an unbiased test by the labs of Consumer Reports magazine. The magazine does not accept outside advertising in order to remain 100% unbiased. Consumer Reports does poll their...

Excellent Source for Product Information

Date of Review:  Nov 12, 2001
The Bottom Line: Think of it as an investment.
Review: A must have for any family. This is an excellent source for product information on everything from Condiments to Automobiles. If you are a cost-conscience consumer, this will help you cut corners without cutting quality.

Many think of...

Is Consumer Reports a ?Buying Guide Bible??

Date of Review:  Jan 4, 2009
The Bottom Line:

Despite limitations, Consumer Reports magazine provides objective evaluations of products to help consumers make informed decisions on their purchases.

Review: I have been a reader of Consumer Reports for years and have relied on the recommendations for durable goods (major appliances, lawn equipment) and automobile purchases, as well as the advice they give on finances, health and host of other household...

Great For Making Choices

Date of Review:  Feb 18, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is a good magazine and when making a purchase especially an expensive one you should look to many sources especially Consumer Reports.
Review: I like Consumer Reports, I think that it is a good thing to have since there are so many products out there that are not good and should not be bought.

They do reports on many things, car safety, insurance prices, electronics of all kinds,...
