But I will tell you that I consider her to be a Saint. She’s a columnist with The Toronto Star, a fierce consumer advocate, and teaches personal finance workshops when she isn’t defending consumer rights. I owe her a huge debt of gratitude for helping my own parents out a few years ago. You can read about the story in this post aptly titled Ellen Roseman is a Saint.

My parent's are currently building a new home and this issue has almost become my mom's new full time in-retirement job to research what is actually good or not. Front load washers are a perfect example, they are more expensive and touted as a major improvement, but there is an epidemic problem with a majority of them causing mold to grow in the machines, causing stinky odors in your clothes and home! Before making appliance (or any major item) purchases do your homework, consumerreports.org is probably the best first step.
