[QUOTE="FJohnny, post: 16323967, member: 191643"] What's not to like about CR? They buy items from a random retail outlet and test them in normal usage. Not hand picked perfectly detailed unicorn models supplied to testers by a manufacturer along with a free trip to Spain to test them. (Those usually get pretty good reviews). You can apply to be a tester. Regular people, not slaves to advertising dollars. We may not always agree with outcomes but at least it has a chance of objective honesty in the review. Amazon is rife with fraudulent reviews. Tons of specialty companies out there that will use a bank of computers to give glowing reports (or terrible ones about the customer's competitors) for a fee. Some articles about this practice say to ignore all 1 and 5 reviews and read only 2 through 4 reviews for a better result. It's kind of like the Ebay seller who buys a few thousand penny items and gets the 100% rating so he can sell an expensive non-existent item to some dupe. Pretty obvious I'm a boomer CR fanboy, eh?
