Most consumer electronic products are expensive and it is advisable for a buyer to check features, prices and reviews before making a purchase decision. There are many online and offline sources for consumer electronic reviews, some are free, others are only available to subscribers.
Some of the popular review sources are :
1. Consumer reports magazine: Many consider it to be the most reliable source of consumer electronic products, but it is not free.
2. CNET : has reviews, price list and also instructions on how to use the particular appliance. Since different models of consumer electronics products are available in Asia and Europe, a non-US buyer may prefer to refer to the regional version.
3. ZDNET, PCMag, PCWorld : for computer and IT related products
4. Viewscore: has a summary of reviews at all popular review websites.
5. Buzzillions : has reviews from verified buyers of products from Staples, RadioShack, REI, Adorama, RitzCamera and other consumer appliances
