Over 20 years has never steered me wrong!
Here are a few items I bought recommended as Best Buy’s and have been 100% satisfied with purchases. BBQ, Dishwasher, (2) Mobile Phone’s, washer and dryer and so many smaller items. Too many to list…
CR provides Great information and insight without the hype or sales pitch.
WE LOVE CR

Remember my FaceID & bypass the antiquated username/password drama…
Unable to access rating on app since last update
Used the app frequently to research purchases but have not had access to ratings on the app since the last update 1 month ago. The update said it was to fix bugs but it looks like some more bugs need fixed!
So helpful!
Whether large purchases or small, this app and the membership has helped us make quick, educated choices.
No access to most ratings
Even after paying to subscribe to the app I still have no access to most articles and ratings.
No search results found for water heaters
Was researching water heaters on cr.org with many ratings. Tried the app, on iPad, and got no results searching for water heaters, electric water heaters, hot water heaters, tankless water heaters. Many other items listed, but not these, easily found on the website. Useless, IMO.

Tremendous service! Love to browse the magazine. Online service is great for value shopping!
Lazy app development lacks appropriate filters
A lot of this app is nothing more than an info aggregator and more often than not you are better served by Google or another search engine and even Consumer Reports own website.
I say lazy development because they have lots of product categories and actual data within this categories but don’t allow filtering on the data they actually collected.
Example: Look for dehumidifiers. Try filtering for units with pumps. This isn’t possible yet the data is in the selected items. Why not include filters for the various things within a category such as pump or no pump? Also, a lot of categories that I’ve seen lack warranty information so there is no way to compare warranty.
Where are the links to the actual products themselves and the manufacturers pages? At the very least if the listing was missing something you could look it up. Why not link to their own digital copy of their magazine articles so if you subscribe you could go right there?
App really needs some worn and real world testing by real people. It’s lacking.
