And yeah for products like these you really need to search prosumer forums for the specific area in question, Consumer Reports would be useless.
This has two problems:
1. The prosumers can get detached from the needs of ordinary consumers (see: audiophiles)
2. Some products just don't generate enthusiasts. I recently had to buy a washing machine. All the reviews are sponsored and slightly suspicious crap because nobody cares enough to be the Tom Laundry Tips of the world
I feel like there’s a great opportunity for a founder to start a new eCommerce site with supply chain verification to weed out fakes, and who would do their own testing a la Consumer Reports in addition to customer reviews.

/r/buyitforlife is a decent start if you don't mind Reddit.
And by the way, since the topic of "where do I find the good stuff" keeps coming up, why is there no site that is your one-stop recommendation destination for finding quality appliances, tools? We all know we can no longer trust Amazon reviews.
Consumer Reports has been around for ages but I don't feel they've kept in lockstep with the changing times. Maybe the Cool Tools site? But it seems a little too casual and not as rigorous as CR, too eager to direct you to Amazon as well. I don't know really. Just spitballing.
