    >Consumer Reports They're not great either these days. They're pretty much in the business of affirming their readers preexisting viewpoints with a little bit of actual content sprinkled in. I find that reading amazon reviews worst first looking for failure modes to gauge a product's limits is more productive.

      I always got the feeling that their car statistics were so divorced from reality that they’re recommendations are worse than useless: they seem to genuinely recommend outright bad cars now.

  searching the product name and appending "reddit" to the query

    That doesn’t work at all anymore for many products for two reasons: 1. Astroturfing 2. Redditor incompetence. As it turns out, Reddit doesn’t know shit about a lot of large purchases. Reddit thinks that pottery barn makes some of the best furniture and that I should buy from them, rather than negotiating and buying from a top furniture maker like Hancock and Moore. I ended up with a furniture set which is at least 3X better for the same price by ignoring what idiot redditors told me to do.
