That’s the current problem is knowing when a “Brand” which was a marker for quality cashes in.

Consumer Reports tests a lot of consumer goods and used to be my go to for testing. They don’t take ad revenue so that helps. Though you have to be a member to see their reviews.

They used to be the go to for car reliability info (when your car was rated high you sold more, according to my dad who was in the car business)

Why “used to”? Did something go wrong? Is there something better now?

I guess because I haven't bought anything in a while so for me it was a "used to", not any perceived change. So poor wording on my part.

I can't edit my post. Trusted reviews are hard to find, I would still trust Consumer Reports over random Amazon reviews.
