> where I can trust the opinion/result enough to not have to research for myself I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Consumer Reports. They are run by non-profit consumer advocates, they are very careful about editorial independence (they buy all products at the store rather than accept freebies, there is no advertising in their print publication, etc), and they have labs, scientists, and scientific testing. They have a track record going back to 1936. The only drawback I find is a lack of detail in their reports; they keep it pretty simple.
