You just have to get a library card and go to your library's website and look for Consumer Reports. This assumes your library has a deal with CR. You'll need to check with them of course.

My library lets me access Consumer Reports digitally for free. Might be worth checking out before getting a subscription.

The online database is available at a discount to print magazine subscribers, but is not otherwise normally included with the print subscription.

Consumer reports isn't what it was years ago. The print issue is virtually useless without the online access. Many of their recommendations make absolutely no sense. Go the library access route.

Yes CR does the affiliate model. So if you buy one of their picks they get a kickback. Heavily taints the ratings and unfortunately, is how most "reviews" including places like wirecutter do things....

CR policy "whoever pays me more will get a higher rating" sad but true. Look at the sponsors of the research before making a purchase decision 🤷

Left unsaid above but correctly implied is that CR anonymously buys every item they review.

There are good YouTube reviews out there but the vast majority do not have what CR has - labs and engineers dedicated to their testing programs.

Different libraries have different arrangements on their content (or so I was told).
