FWIW, I was disappointed in my purchases from the wirecutter pre-2016 (I think back in 2013 or so). I can only remember one distinct purchase (a set of headphones). I’m not sure if I made more than one purchase or not, but remember a cached belief from >2 years ago that the recommendations were underwhelming.
That said, I did use them for purchasing my latest mattress (within the last year), which I am in fact happy with.
