Wirecutter is particularly good for a lot of reasons. I'd actually argue that the "Wirecutter treatment" is mostly less applicable to Wirecutter than other areas given that many of the items they review are relatively pricey and sophisticated.

But, to your overall point, there are a lot of things that I just want a hopefully mostly unbiased expert to tell me what to buy and I'm just fine with that. When I buy a garden hose nozzle, I'm just fine with whatever one of Wirecutter's sister sites tells me to buy. I don't need or want to do a lot of research into the finer points of garden hose nozzle design.
