Somehow, tests have to be paid for!

Trouble with Which? is

a) they typically don't test very much of what's around, sometimes only
one sample from dozens i a particular market sector

b) by the time their tests are published the market's moved on and
much of what they tested isn't available any more.

Generally they attempt to spoon-feed their readers with "this model is
good, that isn't" rather than educating them what to look for e.g.
"kryptonite wongles are generally more robust than plasticene ones"

Unless they've changed: this was my experience when I gave up on them a
few years ago.

They haven't. They could not possibly educate the user as they don't
actually differentiate between kryptonite wongles and plasticene ones.
This is the main reason why it's only a matter of time until I cancel
my subscription, just short of my 10-year member anniversary.
