It’s impossible to do any meaningful product research with Google.

Right now, I often start my product research within Amazon. However, that's only a start, as Amazon isn't great for everything. For large appliances, Consumer Reports is a good starting place. I guess I'm an example of the switch from search engines to "expert" sites.



Amazon is great but search on Amazon doesn't work too well; what works very well is to use Google and restrict the search to Amazon:

site:amazon.com some product


Why people complain about product researches, there is "google products" where you will be searching only products, not any spam.
