Maybe Consumer Reports?
Only complaint I hear about them is Tesla fanboys complaining that the cars are not getting perfect scores and that its a conspiracy. Not sure if there is any truth to that(probably not). Other than that I haven't heard much bad to say but who knows, they could also be compromised.
Or rtings for any categories they review.
rtings is really good and in-depth. I have used them as a gut check many times and they haven't let me down yet.
The original thing that grabbed me about their reviews was their analysis of monitor flicker: some monitors gave me a headache, some didn't, I'd just started realizing it was likely due to the use of PWM flickering for brightness, and then I found that rtings included that information with every monitor review so that I could select monitors that didn't flicker.
In general, they capture much more information than most reviews, and make it possible to search and sort based on that information.
I did actually buy a year long subscription of CR when I moved into my new house a few years ago and I found their reviews to be generally more helpful and have bought a few products based on their recommendations.
