Wirecutter has gone downhill rapidly, to the extent that I wouldn't trust it anymore. Which is a shame, since it used to be my go-to for nearly everything.
Here's an article about it:

- tootie 3y agoThe article doesn't actually quantify them going downhill at all. Only that they've lost some luster with their fans. I honestly attribute it more to them being a victim of their own success. A Wirecutter endorsement is now so valuable that I suspect brands are deliberately gaming the system in some way to get a plaudit from them. I've bought more than a few items they've endorsed in the past few years and they've all held up very well.
