CR is good for appliances. Right now we are looking for a built-in double wall oven (redoing the kitchen). When you eat as much as we do the kitchen is a very important place.
CR tries to take the emotion out of everything that they test. You cannot do that with some items. Items that get a visceral response from the users are not quantifiable as pure appliances. Many years ago CR rated Cutty Sark scotch over Chivas Regal. I laughed so hard that tears came to my eyes.

CR has never learned that, and in some ways that's a good thing.

I still don't like CR when it comes to cars. I'll stick to Edmunds.com |

I dont follow them closely, but does Road and Track, Car and Driver, Motortrend and the other auto magazines award the same cars? It would be interesting to see if they, and compare to the CR cars. At least in that case, you'd have various opinions from various sources in agreement.

You may be right until you taste them (the scotches, not the women). Taste buds don't lie. That's like saying that Bud is better than Sam Adams or Guiness.

It's interesting to note that, while the current CR frequency of repair ratings date back to 1996, they've apparently received insufficient feedback on the SVX for it to even warrant a heading in the charts. dcb |
