Those people are soooo fulllll o sheet it ain't funny......Consumer Reports in my industry has very little to do w/reality.....And there's those poor dumb-asses that live their life by their rag.......I will love it the day they get sued for taking bribes.
Why do I say this.......for years now, at least going back to the '70s all appliance sellers bought product from a hand full of manufacturers....So you go to Sears & buy say a washing Machine you probably got a Whirlpool built product with the only difference being the console paint, knobs....CR always rated the Sears over the equivalent model Whirlpool, Kitchen-aid that we sold. I can give you dozens of specific incidence's but the best was around '79 an Amana Microwave was ranked #1.....#9 was a Frigidaire that was EXACTLY the same item except for the Model # & a black rather than chrome door.
Now days CR is in love w/LG laundry...we sell it but it's worst junk in the industry as we sell some brand from every manufacturer & nothing else has so many issues.
