That’s true but for a lot of these products, they were negative ones like “broke after a few uses.”
Super sus when Wirecutter is promoting something as a top pick.
But it also makes sense. A review site like Wirecutter is using the product like one time — they have no idea if it’s going to last.
- squokko 3y agoMany of the negative reviews are posted by competitors
- thrashh 3y agoNot from my experience. I’ve used Wirecutter top picks. They suck and actually do break
- squokko 3y agoYes, some stuff does break, and some categories suck more than others, and sometimes Wirecutter gets it wrong. But I have not seen anyone point to any meaningful evidence that Wirecutter is improperly biased or is anything worse than simply a product review site that does it best but sometimes gets it wrong.
- sgerenser 3y agoCan you give a couple examples of Wirecutter top pick items you bought that broke after a short time?
- nickthegreek 3y agoI've used Wirecutter top picks and have never been burnt. This entire thread is people bashing Wirecutter without providing any examples of bad products.
- yread 3y agoI don't find such a review very informative. Especially if it's a popular product sold 10000s times. Even quality things sometimes break. Does it have stupid buttons that are hard to press? That's worse
