"Face it, when the computer isn't booting and the car isn't braking, shopping around isn't Job One. There's a faster, easier way with CHECKBOOK."
"Twin Cities Consumers' CHECKBOOK Can Save You Big $$$"
"If you like charts and analysis, plus buying tips and advice — think local version of Consumer Reports magazine — CHECKBOOK is for you."
"It's difficult to imagine a better investment of $10 than the Spring/Summer 2011 issue of Twin Cities' Consumers' CHECKBOOK."
Checkbook is very useful, and I have no complaints on that score. I saved $100 from it yesterday, in fact.

Consumer Checkbook provides a rating for both price and quality of work for many plumbing, electrical, and computer repair companies in our area. I use it every month or so. As valuable to me as Angie's List.

CHECKBOOK provides subscriber comments on their experiences with the firms they use. Please remember that individual subscriber comments are informal. Subscriber comments may give you insight into the types of features and problems that exist in a service field, but are not the best basis for selecting or rejecting a specific firm. To assess the quality of a firm's performance, we recommend that you give more weight to the percentages of favorable ratings. Those percentages are generally based on much larger numbers of consumers' ratings (the number of consumer ratings is noted above).
