There is a treasure trove of very diverse material on consumer, i recommend it to anyone who wants to save a lot of time and searching. From knowing your consumer rights , to reliability ratings on brands, to what heat pump is most efficient, what power companies are best etc etc etc. Even if you want to do the research yourself and wander up and down the rows of TV's at Noel leaming for ex, i think Consumer is a big advantage all round. happy user here.

When buying a motor vehicle, I find it best to take along the mechanic who is going to maintain the vehicle for me.

I know people like Consumer - if they didn't, the organization wouldn't be around. But in this day an age there are better alternatives.

From knowing your consumer rights ,

Oh look. type in "nz consumer rights" into google and first on the list is https://www.consumerprotection.govt....saAr1zEALw_wcB

to reliability ratings on brands,

all big brands are reliable. And the CGA gives you the added protection for the odd lemon.

to what heat pump is most efficient,

type "nz most efficient heat pump" into google, scroll down past the advertising and you wil come to https://www.canstarblue.co.nz/appliances/heat-pumps/ and if you go to the link above you will get https://www.energywise.govt.nz/at-ho...er/heat-pumps/ for tons of info

what power companies are best etc etc etc.

etc and you come up with https://www.powerswitch.org.nz/

I accept Consumer is great for those that dont want to do their own research - but they cant expect the best deal with this approach. The organization obviously has an appeal amongst those that think the issue, on say TRA's insurance is interesting. Those people would be better off spending their time reading theri insurance policy before signing.

Yeah right.?
V8 Jaguar 4.5 to 5 klm to a litre.
Think you would get into less trouble if you took your wife along......lol.

I'm still not impressed. I thought "who worries about "ruunning costs"? You spend $1500 on a tv and you are worried if your tv is going to cost $28 or $31 a year to run? So within 15 seconds I had an answer here https://www.energywise.govt.nz/tools.../#!/television
