Consumer Reports Magazine unable to contact

I had originally attempted to contact Consumer Reports to complain about the fact that subscribers were barred from using its web-site unless they paid an additional $19. And that is, still, a primary complaint. However, when I attempted to e-mail Consumer Reports by clicking onto consumer reports.org/letterto editor, there was virtually no way to decipher a route by which this could be accomplished. I defy anybody to manage to send an e-mail to Consumer Reports based on the web-site's instructions...impossible. If Consumer Reports were rating its own user-friendliness, it would get a failing grade. Oh, when I clicked onto "Donate" I was transferred immediately to a concise explanation which would be routed directly to the correct Department. Other than donations or subscriptions, people wishing to contact Consumer Reports are out of luck/

Consumer Reports Magazine Fraud and cheating

The product recommendations of Consumer Reports Magazine are basically worthless. We bought a Frigidaire washer and dryer based on their recommendations and both are a piece of junk having been repaired numerous times. We also bought a Schwinn elliptical trainer which they said was a Consumer Reports BEST BUY and after being used less than 20 times it sits dead in our basement.

Consumer Reports may not know how to determine a quality product but they will fill your mailbox with promotions about automobile pricing, books on investing and medical care, etc. Based on their 'wonderful' product recommendations I would do exactly the opposite of what they say.

If you want product ratings you are better off searching online for free info than paying Consumer Reports for a bunch of know nothing nonsense.

This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

Save your money and search on the internet for product recommendations. Consumer Reports is a joke. We bought a washer and dryer, Frigidaire, that they recommended and both are total pieces of garbage. Both have been repaired many times and still work marginally at best. We also bought a Schwinn elliptical (a CR best buy) and it lasted less time than a...
