The Buying Guide 2009 (Consumer Reports Buying Guide) Reviews
| 8 of 8 people found the following review helpful  Invaluable resource for consumers, By This review is from: The Buying Guide 2009 (Consumer Reports Buying Guide) (Paperback) For those of you familiar with this annual volume, the good news is that the 2009 Consumer Reports Buying Guide is out. For those not familiar with this publication, it is a compendium of ratings and evaluations of a wide array of products. Major categories reviewed include: home entertainment (e.g., camcorders and televisions); kitchen, bath, and laundry (e.g., countertops, washers and dryers); Home and yard (e.g., air conditioners, paints and stains for both interior and exterior); computers, phones, and peripherals (e.g., cell phones, GPS navigation systems); autos. The book concludes by rating quality and reliability of many of the products just mentioned. As the introductory comments emphasize (Page 5): "The Consumer Reports Buying Guide for 2009 is your handy one-stop source for making intelligent, informed, money-saving purchases for all your home and personal needs." A bit overstated, perhaps, since many classes of products aren't reviewed. But, in spirit, that sentiment is... Read more 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful  Very good, By This review is from: The Buying Guide 2009 (Consumer Reports Buying Guide) (Paperback) Probably Consumer Reports is best known for its accurate ratings on cars. But we also found this guide very useful for recent replacements of a 13-year-old washing machine with a worn out water pump and a toaster. It's a highly recommended little book, with lots of excellent detail on the finer points of mechanical and electronic devices as well. 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful No MP3 players in here, By This review is from: The Buying Guide 2009 (Consumer Reports Buying Guide) (Paperback) This is an invaluable reference book - I wouldn't buy my new washer/dryer without first consulting the newest Buying Guide. You can't beat the price for the information and it's all laid out in charts for easy, one-stop, unbiased comparison that you can carry with you to the store. Of course, once you have it, you start looking at all the other appliances/vehicles/gadgets you've been thinking about buying which leads to my only gripe - no MP3 player ratings in this edition. |
