I've been skeptical of the Wirecutter for a few years now. It seems their reviews are starting to lean away from quality products, and start pointing towards companies with a bigger marketing budget. Example, their handvac recommendations are entirely Black & Decker, but I've tried a few of them and found them vastly overpriced compared to others on the market.



Anything like Wirecutter is good until the marketers catch up with it.

Even consumer reports is gamed; they test toilets by flushing golfballs and whatnot and if you talk to plumbers, they recommend different brands.


This one looks well-cited though.
