Consumer Reports What To Buy

Date of Review:  Aug 6, 2001
The Bottom Line: I really utilize this magazine for buying advise. It means going to the library so I use it as a supplement after epinions.
Review: We are Consumer Reports fans. In the house from which we moved I had a lot of space and kept all of my Consumer Reports on a shelf! We no longer subscribe but did for many, many years. I believe that any large purchase we have made (even not so...

Consumer Reports What?

Date of Review:  Dec 1, 1999
Review: I have been around Consumer Reports for as long as I can remember. My father is a subscriber and a very loyal CR shopper (to this day), which in turn infected me with the same bug. As I grew older my parents purchased the subscription for my...

Consumer Reports helps you research for a purchase.

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2000
Review: I have subscribed to Consumer Reports run by Consumers Union for most of the past twenty years.
The Consumer Reports magazine if used properly can provide excellent initial research on most any purchase that you may be planning. It provides...

Our Competition In Print, "Consumer Reports" Offers Mediocre, Though Unbiased, Guidance.

Date of Review:  Jun 28, 2009
The Bottom Line: With its own quirks, "Consumer Reports" is an average magazine, often with a solid methodology, but just as frequently unclear numbers of tests on all sorts of products.
Review: It is hard sometimes to look at a magazine like "Consumer Reports" and not be a little envious as a reviewer. In the pages of this simple, nonprofit magazine, writers get paid to review all manner of things . . . just like we do here on Epinions,...

Do Not Buy It or Try It until you read Consumer Reports!

Date of Review:  Oct 31, 2001
The Bottom Line: Objective, informative but detailed reviews of a wide spectrum of goods and services. Magazine has made significant contributions in consumer awareness and safety!
Review: Consumer Reports has save me from making some big mistakes when it comes to major and minor purchases! I?m an impulsive consumer who has to have it yesterday. When I let impulsivity rule my head, I usually end up regretting my buying decision. When...

Consumer Reports badly needs an overhaul

Date of Review:  Apr 28, 2006
The Bottom Line: With the advent of the Internet, CR is not needed. We are now able to do our own research and make our own decisions.
Review: Consumer Reports is a magazine my parents subscribed to, then I did when I bought my first home. I recently ended my subscription because several products that were highly recommended by them didn't perform well at all for me. I took a closer look...

Better to borrow than to buy

Date of Review:  Aug 7, 2001
The Bottom Line: I recommend using Consumer Reports if borrowed from a library. Epinions and other groups will eventually replace it. "It ain't what it was, no way."
Review: Consumer Reports may be helpful, but its worth comes as something to borrow from a public library rather than being worth the money it charges. The magazine is a far cry from the genuine trustworthy authority it once was. And as for information,...

Good Magazine for product information and comparing products and prices.

Date of Review:  Apr 15, 2007
Review: I am a subscriber to Consumer Reports Magazine and I value the information the magazine writes on comparing different products and prices. I also subscribe to the consumer reports magazine web site, ConsumerReports.org. which also compares different...

A Useful tool...but not the bottom line

Date of Review:  Jun 1, 2000
Review: I subscribe to Consumer Reports, and will probably renew my subscription when it runs out. There is not question that the magazine tries hard to provide objective information about a wide variety of consumer products. I have found, however, that...

Intentions rate higher than execution

Date of Review:  Feb 4, 2000
Review: Consumer Reports is by no means perfect, but until a better consumer information publication comes out, it's probably the best at what it does, at least in a general way.

The magazine has what must be the highest integrity of any...
