CR has hit an all time low...Well deserved. THis magazine used to be half decent. Now it is a magazine full of content that cannot be distinguished from deceptive advertising.

I hate Consumer Reports newish format. The print magazine is almost useless without an online subscription. Wish they would go back to the old format.
