4.0 out of 5 stars
Great collection of reviews and info
Whether or not you like Consumer Report's reviews of products, this book is a great collection of things to look for when looking for appliances or other items for your house. Even if the model you're interested in isn't included in the rankings, the evaluation criteria are still a good starting place for your own analysis. All the material is pulled from the CR...

Doesn't include phones!
How the editors of consumer reports could have stunningly failed to include that critical home item--the telephone--is a key failure of this book to deliver what it promises. This guide lands on CD players, recorders, digital video recorders, MP3 players, receivers and even satellite television. Could it be that the editors think the telephone is too basic to list? Yet...

Whether or not you like Consumer Report's reviews of products, this book is a great collection of things to look for when looking for appliances or other items for your house. Even if the model you're interested in isn't included in the rankings, the evaluation criteria are still a good starting place for your own analysis. All the material is pulled from the CR magazines over the past year or so.

By Francella Dell (Seattle, WA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Consumer Reports Best Buys for Your Home 2001 (Paperback)
How the editors of consumer reports could have stunningly failed to include that critical home item--the telephone--is a key failure of this book to deliver what it promises. This guide lands on CD players, recorders, digital video recorders, MP3 players, receivers and even satellite television. Could it be that the editors think the telephone is too basic to list? Yet the book does rank the mundane vacuum cleaners, hand mixers, and even hot-water heaters. The ultimate irony is that the picture on the front cover--in at least one version of this book--shows a mother fixing what looks to be a colorful stir-fry while her son looks on and a football game blares from a television behind them--and despite all this the mother is, yes, yakking on a nameless cordless phone.
