I decided years ago that their auto reviews have no credibility after:
- They violated their own auto review standards to include the Toyota Tacoma in their truck reviews during its first year of production. Their guidelines stated that no vehicle shall be reviewed during its first year due to lack of any reliability and repair data. They awarded the Tacoma Truck of the Year or equivalent status.
- They did not include the Pontiac GrandAm in their review of mid-sized sedans during the years that the GrandAm was the largest selling car in that segment. Their reasoning was that their reader base does not own GrandAms.
Appliance reviews are worthless because the models tested are all out of production by the time the article is written and the magazine is published. Anecdotal evidence potentially, but nothing you can take to the appliance store with you.
Like I said, just my opinion.
