Even Consumers Report, which used to be unbiased, now takes fees from manufacturers to get "approved" by CR and can advertise as such in the stores and in their ads. Conflict of interest here. CR is no longer unbiased. I dropped my subscription immediately!

Don't believe what you read on the internet.
