I enjoy having multiple options and or attachments if possible, but I don't want to sacrifice any individual functionality. Something reliable would be a pre-requisite.

Chiming in to remind people to check with their library to see if it gives them full access to Consumer Reports.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Yup! They're great. We decided to splurge for a subscription this year, but they're the GOAT when it comes to consumer reviews.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I subscribe to them. But they are not ALWAYS correct, and sometimes are out of date, and sometimes it’s just numbers, without any written analysis. So I like to solicit multiple sources of opinion and experience.

And they’re quite a bit off for electronics. Rtings is WAY better.

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Do you like the Rtings pick for best noise cancelling headphones? I have a knee jerk aversion to anything audio coming from Sony for sound quality, but I believe the headphones might be different?

[–] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I haven’t listened to them but they do get reviewed well almost everywhere. They have more bass by default than I like and they dip a bit in the treble which I also don’t prefer (I like slightly bright and otherwise balanced sound).

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

I share your preferences I think

Americas Test Kitchen also recommends the Cuisinart 14 cup food processor.

Gotta confirm. It’s built like a tank and bloody heavy. Wife has had one for over 15 years and it still works as well as it did when she first got it. It may as well be commercial grade. It may be expensive but you won’t ever have to buy another.

I inherited my cuisinart food processor, it’s from the early ‘80s or so, going strong. I do use a stick blender a lot more, though.
