More Consumer Reports Distortions/Lies

[BLKHILLSGUY]

It's crazy because when the Yaris was first reviewed and for several years thereafter the Yaris was highly ranked and recommended by CR. I think their reliability is still valid, HOWEVER I don't put much into their own personal SUBJECTIVE views on the vehicles they test. I'll test drive them and make my own decision, like the grown adult I am. They have really down the toilet lately. Every since they rated our LG washer as top rated and that thing has been the biggest POS. And I wanted a Whirlpool, but peace was more important so I gave in. And then they ranked the Ninja blender as high as the $500 Vita-mix which I do own. The Vita-mix will last 30 yrs versus a couple of years with the Ninja. And I love my 15 Yaris SE manual. I like it better than the two Fits I had, one which wasn't the great of quality like most new Hondas. And they praise and go gaga ape shiite over the Honda Fit. I don't see it.

I have to agree with you on the Vita-mix. Great machine. I bought mine via the Certified Reconditioned program. I bought the Professional Series 500 model and the thing looks brand new and functions as such. From what I understand, the Reconditioned program resells Vita-mix blenders that have been returned within the risk free in-home 30 day trial, or blenders that have been used via demonstrations at Costco, or what not. They cannot resell these blenders as new. So, I saved a couple hundred dollars by going with the Reconditioned program for a blender that is essentially new with a 5 year warranty. The fact that CR would rank the Ninja alongside a Vita-mix blender tells me all I need to know about CR. I've used Ninja, Blendtec, and Vita-mix. Vita-mix blenders are hands down the best blenders I've used.
