Consumer Reports may be unbiased as far as brand goes, but
they are definately biased when it comes to price.  They
have no conception of high performance, and thus will not
recommend an item which costs more, but performs better.
They do a good job for items with no entheusist market,
like toasters or window fans, where all you care about is
does it work?, is it safe? how long 'till it breaks?
For products with an entheusist/hobbist market, such as
audio, cars, cameras,etc, check out the specialist magazines.
They do a much better job, and yes, they usually do cover the
lower price products as well as the high end.
