I thought that when I purchased this magazine, I would be able to access reviews on-line. But I was wrong. For that you need to buy another subscription! I like Consumer Reports and find that their reports are reliable. But it is limiting in that I can't research prior reviews so I had better be buying a product as it is reviewed that month. Sorry but the internet wins.

I rely on Consumer Reports for all of my major purchases. I recently used their research to help decide on the HDTV that I purchased. I couldn't be happier with the quality of their research - and I love my new TV (Sony Bravia XBR 46").
