Project Farm is good, but it's still mostly entertainment. You have to know how to filter out the things that matter versus the things that are more just for amusement, and whether the stated test is a "good test".
I consider that a feature, not a bug. Different people have different priorities. That's part of what went wrong with Consumer Reports... they started leaning too much on sort of softer things like "noise" and "vibration" and gimmicky features with limited utility, while deemphasizing wether the thing is worth a damn at the task it's supposed to do in the first place.
A more scientific (but more limited) would be Torque Test: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKXuFwB6lo0 and even they're mainly for entertainment.
