For the uninitiated, Consumer Reports is a magazine that tests products, all kinds of products, and rates them for quality and value.   They also give advice on how to get the most from consumer goods.  Their coverage includes cars, appliances, electronics, home & garden, babies & kids, money, food, and health.  I consult CR many times a year, and sometimes, my friends ask me to find CR's recommendations for them, too.

An online subscription is $26/yr.  Sooo cheap!
