Only to read nonsense where they lump all appliances with the same name on them together to determine reliability and mark things down because their panel of idiots found them hard to use? No thanks.

Even at $3 still represents very poor value for money.

"we had a lot of (brandname) washing machines breakdown in their first 3 years. We wont break it down by model or type or anything, you just need to know that (otherbrand) had fewer breakdowns in their first year. Because science"

Some reports are better than others. At the end of the day it is just another small input into a buying decision.

I still remember 10 years ago when I was working at bond and bond they "highly recommended" a washing machine we sold that we all knew was very unreliable.
