I usually start with Consumer Reports online. They haven't steered me wrong so far. I trust their ratings. Just don't put a lot of faith in customer ratings though as I have discovered if someone has a complaint.. reasonable or not.. it seems they are more likely to want to put it out there. I know that if I buy a product that I am happy with, I probably won't bother to go back and rate it. Then I would probably find a few other magazine articles online to read before I commit to purchase.
