Sometimes you don’t want “advice” on buying appliances – you want actual product recommendations, based on real testing. That’s what Consumer Reports provides, and, for today only, you can register for a free day of full online access.
Price out air conditioners, see CR’s favourite commercial coffee blends. While the data is US-centric, it might still give you some useful ideas for purchases. (Offer expires 5pm AEST on July 6).

This site is independent, AFIK.
They gave the iPhone4 a negative review, because of antenna gate, when they give products a negative, it usually gets wide notice/publication
really?
then there is clearly no need to sign up, because any negative usually gets wide notice/publication
I did get this from Lifehacker hence the correlation that this site might be legit. It is a US one but I have seen people from Engadget and Gizmodo quotes these guys sometimes.
Just about to say what georgedeka said above, if this site is giving iphone4 bad reviews it's probably truthful. Gizmodo and Engadget on the other hand very biased towards apple
Consumer Reports is the USA-equivalent of Choice in Australia. Channel 9 recently aired ABC USA's 20/20 program which did a special episode in conjunction with Consumer Reports:

And before you ask… 20/20 is a far more credible news magazine program than Australian commercial sell-outs such as ACA or Today Tonight. ;)
So at $5.95 per month, the one day free is worth around 20c. Wow.
no, it's worth $5.95
$5.95 is the monthly price, you get 1 day's worth of access.
Given that $5.95 is the minimum you pay, even to get one day access you would still have to pay $5.95, also for services like this you can't really calculate the worth since you could take more advantage of this today than you would have over an entire month.
Do you get also a review of web sites? Because there is this site 'ec.consumerreports.org' which I really wonder about !!
Hmmm a few of the product line numbers don't appear to be offered here in OZ :/
Anyone know what the Panasonic TC-P50S30 equivalent is here?
I just check out product review, there's usually some reviews on what I'm buying
Sometimes you don’t want “advice” on spelling the title correctly :-D
BTW - these "review" sites are a crock. Full of sock puppets. Often the reviewers are "paid" to post them.
Not sure on this site… it might be legit.
