Reviews of Consumer Reports

  • No longer worth a membership

    Their reviews and recommendations are limited. They often do not include the cost as a factor of the review for a consumable product. They are missing many many product lines.

    I have been using consumer reports for decades. It seems as if the quality of their analysis is much worse than in the past, or I am just more aware of the inaccuracy of their data. Just look at paper towels. The highest rated product is the one with the Lowest square feet. If they compared by cost per square foot instead of the roll cost they tested, the data would be much more helpful. So they recommend a brand that is very expensive and very small. Compared to another roll they is 1.3 times larger and a fraction of the cost, their “strength when wet test” should use more than twice the paper towels to test against since you get twice as many AND the cost is MUCH LOWER. As of February 2024

    Yes paper towels are boring but you know when you have finally just had enough with a company from seeing the same practices over and over; that’s where I am with the paper towels.

  • Search function is flawed

    March 2024 hard copy issue of CR Magazine mentions 2022 testing of chocolate bars for heavy metals. But search in the CR app for “chocolate bar” and you get one result (and oddly labeled “model”); and search just for “chocolate” and you get about 30 results, most of which contain the words “chocolate “ and “bar.” But no mention of any article about testing for heavy metals. This is just a list of tested snack bars, with no link to main article, which only shows up if you search for “snack bars.” I could never find the article about the 2022 testing for metals. Search function is flawed and incomplete, and you have to know the precise wording of testing categories to get them to show up; and apparently, not all the articles or tests are included in the app.

    Developer Response

    Thanks for sharing your feedback. The app does not contain all the information that can be found on our full site. If you're interested in reading the article, you can search heavy metals on the the site.
  • App is not perfect & it’s a letdown

    Update: after contacting consumer reports via email and chat, I was told to contact Apple. Apple told me they will refund my $10. I wish the app was more robust. But the lackluster search function, and the lack of material on the app are a letdown for a company that has been absolutely fabulous in the past.

    *********

    I subscribed to this app today and apparently absolutely wasted my $10.. I subscribed because the information on the mattress I was searching was hidden until I subscribed. But after I subscribed, they actually don’t have information on mattresses. It was very deceptive! I’m not able to search anything. I searched all of the appliances and gadgets in my home that I could think of just to test it. None of them were searchable. Maybe I should give them credit and think that their database is just in adequate. But either way, I wouldn’t suggest wasting any money on this app.
