If my vacuum can remove even one spec of dirt that yours misses, then mine is better than yours - even if there's no proof that mine would have picked up as much dirt as yours...

More opinions from CR for better or worse... An Electrolux that reminds them of Barney the Dinasaur.... CR takes Lux to task for not offering more performance for the price. http://blogs.consumerreports.org/home/2010/07/best-vacuums-review-sebo-automatic-x5-lindhaus-diamante-380-miele-s-2120-olympus-aerus-lux-legacy-lu.html (sorry forgot link earlier)

The smart tyrant writes his own story to ensure that it is favorable. The lazy will repeat lines from the book without fact checking.

Hi Vacmanuk: CR buys its products for testing and refuses sponsorship from all and any product makers. Says it does this to remain independent and honest. Unlike Consumers Digest which solicits fees from product makers to allow the makers to use the CD recommendation in printed ads. Carmine D.
These claims are the only reason I've bother with Consumer Reports over the years. I pay little attention to Consumers Digest or Good Houskeeping's Seal of Approval. Does Which? bear the same standard or does it get funding from manufacturers?

Hello Venson:
You along with 20 MILLION monthly readers of Consumer Reports. While I don't subscribe to CR, save for gifts of subscriptions given to me over the years, I do make it a point of buying selected CR issues off the shelf. Usually at COSTCO where the price is discounted from the newstand and store prices by 30 percent. Carmine D.
