Consumer reports has an agenda or is incompetent. Maybe for dishwashers, paint, or mattresses, but most of their reviews are biased or poorly reviewed.

The classic example is the way they dinged Tesla for the full self driving because it went through a stop sign, and then when you examine their video closely you can see on the left side of the dash that the FSD wasn't even engaged (steering wheel should be blue). Their explanation after they were caught didn't even make grammatical sense.... Canceled my subscription after that.

They reviewed sunscreens this past summer. Not a SINGLE mention of the numerous recalls due to benzene. In fact, some of the recalled products were in their article! And the article came out AFTER the first wave of recalls.
