As I said it's many years since I subscribed to Which. But I'd like to
know just how you test all the various brands of anything before
buying?

My opinion on Italian electrics and vehicles is 'avoid'. So I don't need
to test those.

That could be difficult with some white goods. ;-)

Cars tend to be a different matter. Not everyone thinks ultimate
reliability or running costs the most important thing. Otherwise we'd all
be driving the same car. In other words if you fancy the looks and driving
experience of an Alfa, you'll likely end up buying one regardless.

As I've said, I've not even looked at Which for about 20 years or so.
Before that, reader's surveys were of interest, since a larger proportion
of owners were likely to reply than anywhere else. And given they were
paying good money for such a service, not in their interests to be
dishonest.
