theyre almost entirely bad op

back in the day you could convince yourself with some degree of optimism that if you were buying a brand new car, it could last you the rest of your life

you can't even do that with cars anymore, and god forbid you try to apply that kind of thinking to a cell phone or computer or home appliance

i have a UE mini boom and it's pretty bad
the iphone app has never worked
it gets out sync after 30 minutes when paired to my apple tv unlike my $20 wireless ear buds
doesnt show battery status on my iphone like my $20 wireless ear buds
and it reboots from low battery even though it's always plugged in

sounds pretty good though

i got a dash cam that wirecutter recommended and it was the most garabge loving piece of poo poo unusable trash in the universe

i completely don't get why people think they are an authoritative source for loving anything i doubt they can pick matching socks in the morning even if the pairs were folded together

i don't think the wirecutter is to blame when they recommend the least bad version of a garbage product

Feb 15, 2001

the thing about the wirecutter is that they typically remove 90% of the contenders just by looking at spec sheets and they only end up testing the few "finalists" which makes no sense when you have things like headphones where there's literally thousands of options

the bookshelf speakers they picked are pretty good though, dali zensors and the elac b series are deece

wirecutter is still sometimes ok, but lately more often than not i use their articles as a starting point for doing my own research. they can do a good job of filtering through the bullshit out there, and often bring up issues you might not notice on your own or find in customer reviews

and then sometimes they got the weirdest poo poo. like reviewing breathalyzers. http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/best-personal-breathalyzer/

they must have been paid for that

i cant imagine


it returns so many bad results thanks to keyword spamming (i assume) and the marketplace is a nightmare too. basically you need a model number to not make it a TOTAL slog
