Earlier I wrote about PriceGrabber which is a great price and product comparison tool for online retailers once you decide on what product you want to buy, however, a lot of research can go into deciding which product you should purchase. I read a lot of reviews and try to distinguish "true" reviews versus glorified press releases or promotion articles. I do not trust magazines that only have glowing and positive remarks to make about every product they review. It appears that they just want to keep their advertisers happy. The magazine becomes more like a catalog than a true journalistic endeavour.
Unfortunately, it can be very time consuming to read various reviews, that's where ConsumerSearch comes in handy. Unlike Consumer Reports (which is a excellent source because they do not accept advertising) that actually reviews the products themselves, ConsumerSearch pulls together articles from different resources on similar products, analyzes their results and summarizes the results for you identifying the best products. They include links to the actual reviews and offer a Credibility Rating for the various reviews. They offer summaries, as well as, detailed overviews. They then offer listings where to buy the products showing price comparisons for various retailers.
The only complaint I would have about ConsumerSearch is that the articles may be dated or old. They can't keep current on all of the different product categories all of the time, but they do have a list of recently updated categories. It is still the best single location I have found to read balanced and accurate comparisons and reviews of a wide variety of products.
