We hate it. It doesn’t get the dishes clean. They were all impressed about the energy and water savings on this model, but it doesn’t work very well, in my opinion.

I think CR often judges highly based on politically correct criteria.

That being said, I think it’s a different world now. When there were so few media outlets, there was a great deal of caché with advertising on the few broadcast channels available, as there was with the major newspaper in your town. Now, we have a lot more media choices and people are more cynical about advertising.

I think a micro-payment mechanism will have to be developed that will allow people access to media. Not sure how that’s going to work.
