Calling a Lambo and a Honda both "automobiles" is stretching the definition. A deuce and a half would make a terrible choice as a family car, but it makes a hell of a vehicle for delivering relief supplies in a flood. Consumer reports uses criteria that relate to average person and their use. So cars that foul plugs or don't start in the winter or can't carry the groceries are down rated relative to those that can, whether or not they have real walnut on the dash or can go 200 mph.
I exaggerated to make a point, but the reality is the same. CR often down products because it does not fit their agenda. If you know up front what their agenda is, you can use the other information they provide.

It;s not like they go out of their way to hide their criteria. It's usually explained in one or two paragraphs of the article.

What happened to stoves? I still don't understand why one has to be Mario to cook well on a Viking commercial-style stove. Or with copper. I got my first copper pots and was ecstatic at the difference they made.
