The problem here is an information imbalance between seller and buyer.
This could be solved via regulation (unlikely to happen in the US).
Another solution would be independent testing labs / publications. To stay independent, they can't finance themselves using ads. Would people be ok to pay for information, on the internet? For $1000 lawn mower maybe, what about for a $50 kitchen appliance?
