In general I have had a subscription to Consumers Reports online and have used it a few times when buying appliances. I mainly used it in 2019 when we were renovating our old kitchen, and in 2020 when we had to buy a new dishwasher, and a new refrigerator. I have shared the password with friends and family as well.
I can read the individual issues on Apple News and don’t care to get print publications. If all you care about is the website stuff, their ditigal-only membership is only $39/yr. If you have an .edu email, you can get the student offer which is only $20/yr. You might also try the codes TAKE20, SPRING, or SPRING15 for a discount.
Consumer reports can be a good tool if you are buying a car, but in my opinion, it's not particularly worthwhile in general. I received a free multi-year subscription to CR as a gift. Even when free, I got little value from it. I was not in the market for a car and made few large purchases, as I do most years.

Consumer Reports won’t count a repair against the appliance’s reliability score if the repair is covered under warranty. Their reliability scores are also only looking at the first five years.

As the largest EV maker, Tesla is particularly prone to reliability issues. The Tesla Model Y, the company’s most popular model, is one of the 10 least reliable vehicles of 2022, according to Consumer Reports, which chronicled problems with its body fit, paint, weatherstripping, rear hatchback and climate system.

secondrat. • 3 yr. ago. Consumer Reports is the gold standard for ratings. They have been doing that for 50 years and have a very standard process. I believe KBB ratings are very subjective. KBB is the standard for used pricing but if you look closely it's very variable. Another tool for older cars is Dashboard Light.
