I think that recent FDMB user experience, with meters, is worth its weight in gold. That said, in order to stay updated with independent testing, I...
This CR review differs from the Consumer Reports sticky (from the Oct. 2011 review). Change is always in the works, and this is the most recent data...
I don't know how often their "Top (however many)" ratings list goes public. Their site is somewhat confusing, in the respect that, it doesn't state...
I would normally steer clear of a post that is somewhat combative...but I figured I'd chime-in since I recently came across a new member who was...
