Consumer reports and factual errors

Have any of you seen the December online issue of Consumer Reports? Snowthrowers are reviewed. Lots of facual errors. The have the retail price for the 828 oxe at $1,700. If you click on "shop for this item", more mistakes. They also have all models, at least the 2 stage models, rated poorly for sound. I'm wondering if this information was pulled from the days of when many of these brands used the Tecumseh L-head. Further, they have falsely listed certain models as having freewheel steering. Honestly, there are so many mistakes, that I wonder if they did any actual testing this year. Is the magazine in trouble financially? I have used CR for may years and was disturbed to se this level of recklessness in reporting. |
