seems like a good deal on a subscription that rarely goes on sale. Limited time, site says "Today only" (?)

CR is pretty good for detailed and unbiased product reviews, and accepts no advertising. Though last few years it's mixed with lifestyle choices, unfortunately. Looks like this would be print subscription only.

I've been a subscriber to CR magazine since 1970. I have been an online subscriber since 2022...The Magazine version has gone steadily down in quality of content for years. They now publish a couple of double issues each year, and those are similar to the old CR mags. If you want the online version, that will cost another $25 per year. The buying guide issue is no longer printed at all, and is provided to all in an online version only! The April issue continues to be a useful buying guide for automobile purchases. I have been using Discount mags to get the paper CR mags for ~~4 years.

My library doesn't have online access, only has print copies in the main branch, and they keep only 18 months of those...

Sadly this applies to basically any printed media.

The editon titled "Scam Protection Guide" should be free. Or at least that article. It should be a PSA. Why scam the public with a scam protection guide?

Many libraries have the login information on their website. Just search for it.

Quote from MellowDesk749 :
Also curious whether this gives access to their online - the most useful stuff is there. Magazine is just pictures and ADs from what I remember from years ago
no. It does not. Also, the online version is very different - it is mostly a database of reviews and ratings. The paper version brings many useful articles that are very much worth reading.

Just subscribed to this very useful and informative magazine. $29.98 for 2 years is a good deal. Thanks to OP and to others that Discount Mags is reliable.

Discountmags is reliable. The price is the best I've seen, great find OP. I'm just coming off a multi-year subscription to CR at $18.97, where I took advantage of Discountmags' price lock feature because that $18.97 was a decent price.

Having said that, I'm not renewing, because of plentiful internet product reviews, paper clutter, purposeful limiting of buying stuff, and therefore I haven't been reading the issues. Though I'll miss the April car buying issue with its detailed reliability ratings.

Slickdeals is a dangerous site to browse if you are attempting "purposeful limiting of buying stuff"

You may have done it wrong. I literally just did this and my order is still processing. Discount lock is entirely separate from individual subscription orders/renewals. Contact them if it keeps happening.

Can confirm just did the same.

Also after using Apple Pay it asked if I wanted another year for $13.xx ended up being 28.90 OTD for 2 years.

Why pay for consumer reports when youtube reviews are free? Even if the youtube reviews are sponsored, seeing the product on video gives me an unbiased review.

No, it doesn't. It gives you literally one person's review, and they may be editing out or otherwise omitting complaints about the product so that they'll keep getting more sponsored stuff for free.

Consumer Reports now rate the 2023 Ram 1500 Classic pickup truck more reliable than Toyota Tundra for the first time ever in history. This is due to Tundra's new 3.4L twin-turbo V6 engine with direct-injection. Ram 1500 only comes with 3.6L non-turbo V6 engine, fuel-injection only.

Without signing up to CR, you will be spending over $20,000 more for a less reliable Toyota Tundra for nothing.

YouTube reviews are not unbiased. Go take a look at mattress review content creators on YT. They sit there and say they got the items free from the manufacturer "but we never let that influence our reviews." Really? Then why do they never flat out trash any item they've gotten for free? Besides, some 35 year old woman rolling around on a mattress aint gonna give me the same details as the extensive objective test results done by CR. These creators aren't going to bite the hand that gave them thousands of dollars in merch.

What I really want is a discount to the CR online archives. I don't hoard magazines so if I decide to buy an item and that month's mag doesn't feature it, I'm SOL on getting CR's input on it.
