lives up to consumer rating

so far so good. zero-d in on this topper because of high ratings on a consumer site [sorry, don't remember which one]. shipped promptly. have had other memory foam toppers with zip-cover [recommend with Vs without] and this cover so far has the nicest quality. the rolled up topper in cover unfurled without hassle and few kinks which were gone within hours. the new bed i ordered it for didn't arrive until 4 days later so i didn't use it before 48 hours, but i could have. no smell. none. and i have had others that did smell at first. density good; using on top of a firm mattress to add cushion but minimise eventual sagging of the mattress itself, so hopefully i will only need to replace the topper in "X" number of years. hope this one is still around. the size is maybe 1/2 inch short all around which is perfect. synopsis: foam density good, comfort good, topper size good, zip-on cover good.

Consumer Report recommend this Black and Decker drill, knowing that most products, but not all, which rate high I ordered it. That being said it exceeded my expectations.

We've had it for about 10 months now and are extremely happy with it.  We did a *lot* of research before choosing this one.  It's one of Consumer Report's highest rated, and Samsung is currently the top rated company for washers (although LG is also nearly as well rated).

If you do some research, it becomes clear very quickly that front-loading is a better choice than top loaders in every way (better cleaning performance, less wear and tear on your clothes, more load capacity, and of course far more efficient... using 1/3 as much water and detergent, and spinning at extremely high speeds to extract the water from your clothes before drying (which cuts down on the drying time and saves you energy and more wear-and-tear on your clothes).

This one isn't the top-of-the-line model from Samsung, but it has everything you really need for a low price.  The other ones also have features like steam, which are apparently more of a gimmick than anything you really need.

Note: As with any front-loader, you have to remember to leave the door cracked open so it has a chance to dry-out.  Otherwise it will get moldy inside (which some people complain about online and don't even know it's their own fault).

Update:  It's been about 2 years now and still works great so far.

Had concerns about the system initially based upon some of the negative reviews on the web.  I found the product installed easy and works well within the specifications the manufacturer has. (Listed as 150 psi max).  I had to purchase extra items which reviews indicated (an additional system and some added outlets).  It is unlikely I'll exceed the psi rating --but added a filter and regulator between the system and my portable compressor to make sure. That way if I need a higher psi rating I can use direct hoses to the compressor.  Overall I'm am very stratified with the performance of the product and would recommend it to any home garage or hobby shop,

If you're looking for higher PSU I would suggest going with the larger diameter system --but I have not checked out that one.

I bought the Rio One about 4 months ago, and I have yet to be disappointed.  I was tired of my CD player skipping when I went walking or exercising.  I use the player every single day.  For being a college student, this unit was affordable; however, I did have to buy an expandable disk.  I would say that is the only real disappointment I found with this product.  Without the disk, I can only program about 6 songs at once.  I did notice the buzzing sound that everyone is talking about, but now I rarely notice.
I have never had a serious problem using the software, and my installation was a breeze.  I think both the software and player are easy to use.  While it doesn't have a fancy screen, I wasn't interested in something high-tech, expensive and fragile.  If it breaks, I will not have to worry about how I am going to pay for a new player.
Also, I am a klutz, and I have accidentally dropped this player on the ground at least half a dozen times.  Nothing more than the battery door opening has ever happened (knock on wood).  Believe me, if you give this product a chance, it will be well worth the money for a practical user.

I've tried my share of vacuums in the past from Eureka to Sears brands all attesting that they're products are designed for households with pets and children. I had not a single product until now live up to its advertisement or reputation. I did purchase a Dyson reconditioned vacuum and when I received it, it had some very small cosmetic scrapes on the body. At this point, I cared only about performance. This machine has indeed lived up to its reputation and more. I have two kids, two dogs and a messy husband and you can smell the difference in our home. It's fresher and cleaner all the way around. The only time I feel you need to be cautious with this machine is when you have lots of area rugs around. The suction is so powerful, it may try to take the rug with it. So be warned!

Other than that, this machine is a godsend. I've already sent a letter to my old vacuum manufacturers letting them know of my dissatisfaction and my recent purchase. I haven't heard back as of yet and perhaps never will but they have a long way to go before they can live up to the ease and versatility of this machine. I recommend this to anyone who's ever had a clogged vacuum, pets, children or the combination of all three.

Easy to install.. no putty needed.. seal worked fine... it's a gem. Best deal and most power for the money, why by less powerful units at higher prices? Don't let the size fool you it's actually lighter than the kitchen-aid 1/2 hp it replaced that crapped out after just 6 years.

It ate an entire lime on day 3.. it's a beast, and I love showing it off.

UPDATE March 29th 2017 - after over 3 years this beast is still destroying entire limes, orange peels, banana peels etc. It is reliable and does an amazing job. It isn't quiet, but most disposals that can crush avocado peels, aren't.

Meets or Exceeds all Expectations.  Battery life in stand-by mode is measured in days -- not hours.
Significantly better performance than earlier plug-in version.

We bought this model based on the Consumer Reports rating it received. We were not disappointed. A great vacuum at a great price. We highly recommend it.

I am a smart buyer using consumer reports and always do my research before I purchase anything. I just like reading up on products that haven proven reliability and do their job, consumer reports rated this Eureka model very well. The price was right and I like the attachments right on the vacuum, good idea. I have allegies and really want the dust, and pile dirt removed from my rugs. I have purchased other light weight vacuums but the power is just not there to suck up the dirt.

I'm not quite sure what some of the negative reviews are about.  If you read and install per the instructions, which are quite clear, this unit performs like an absolute champ.  Very easy to add to a 4 stage RO/DI unit and works beautifully.  It's one heck of a deal at that price, too.

Works great as advertised! Couldn't be more pleased

An excellent performer at a reasonable price.  It does what it says it will do. The on-off switches are handy and add to the reliability of the device.

This is without a doubt the very best consumer treadmill I have ever used! Still performs as good today as it did the day I bought it 2 years ago!
Stronger more powerful motor than most treadmills, and the longest warranty in it's class, a ton of programmable features for tailoring your workouts, plus fans and speakers to attach your smart phone for music or videos while running. It even programs hills into it's features! It also folds up to minimize it's storage footprint.

As usual, Consumer Reports was right on the money. This model and the one above it (3200, which was more expensive with no clear advantages) were both top-rated for ease of use and good tasting coffee. As I live in the Southwest, with some of the hardest tap water in the country, I like that it has a built-in permanent filter and a replaceable carbon filter. It also came with a permanent gold cone filter unexpectedly for no extra cost, so that removes the need for paper filters. Very easy to use, has plenty of options, you can brew your coffee regular or bold strength, etc. The carafe isn't the paper-thin glass that breaks if you even look at it wrong. It looks nice, works great and brews a mean cup of coffee. For $85 it's not cheap, you can buy a coffee maker for $20 but I figure this will outlast enough of the cheap ones to be worth it. I'm sure the coffee tastes better too. Being a coffee snob, it was a very reasonable investment.

This toaster had gotten good reviews in Consumers Reports, so I was interested in it, but thought the price was too high.  When the price dropped recently, I bought one, and it has lived up to the magazine's reviews.  It is easy to use and generally browns evenly.  Just be sure to follow the directions, since different kinds of bread toast at different levels.

Also, I have had a few other toasters in recent years that all seemed flimsy--very thin metal bars, for instance, that would raise and lower the toast, so that eventually they would bend under the weight of a bagel.  So far, this toaster seems more robust in design.  I'll keep you posted!

After much research and indecision I purchased the Special Edition for our home. My hesitation was primarily due to the negative comments about the product. I must say that it works wonderfully and would not take anything for it. Please note: the product is not loud as noted on some of the reviews. I don't know how we survived without it - so convenient.
