They would have said whatever they were paid to. As they always do.

Paid by whom?

Good Lord. You don't actually *trust* "Which", do you?

I've no reason to suppose Which reports are fraudulent.
Do you?

That's not the issue. It's more that, for products that I do know
something about, the advice in 'Which?' often looks superficial, dubious
or downright misleading. This doesn't inspire confidence in their advice
about things I *don't* know much about.

Another example was the recent review of cordless drills, which the
'Best Buy' selection failed to make the obvious distinctions between the
different levels of performance you might need, and the price you should
therefore expect to pay.
