I've been doing $PRODUCT_NAME + "Wirecutter" for many items. I haven't had a bad suggestion by NYT yet if there's a Wirecutter review for it.

If that fails, I do the Google + "reddit" search, but I have to look through a few posts to see if there's general consensus among accounts.

Too bad wirecutter is very hit or miss. I have definitely bought their recommendations and regretted it.

Searching for query + reddit is an OK means of looking for recommendations

What would be nice is a store (like amazon or target) that only sold reputable items. I'm not looking for 3rd party marketplace (like walmart or amazon offers). Maybe costco (brick & mortar) offers this curated selection, but even costco's products are hit or miss.
