There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The first issue I received had very short, maybe 1/4 page articles that touched on some of the basics of what they were talking about, but not much more than the bullet points of the topic. Gone are the in-depth analysis of yesteryear's issues and the magazine gone to the mainstream, dumbed down 'analysis,' if you could call it that.
The main article of that first issue was something like 'how to drive without GPS.' It was about a 4-5 page article about not using the GPS in your car and actually using a map. Really, this is a place where readers of popular mechanics need help? If it is, then the magazine is probably lost forever.
Gone are the days of fixing engines, building gadgets, and learning actually how things work. I'm sad to see that in an era of almost unlimited learning through the internet, Popular Mechanics has decided instead to write very basic articles that are probably also covered in Good Housekeeping.....
Edit: Case in point, latest issue talked about how to cut your own hair, 3 different types of barbecue sauces you can make, and a holiday gift guide that's more apt for GQ as they recommended buying a $125 name brand flannel shirt. If you can get the subscription for free, there are usually 1-2 decent articles that may spark your curiosity to look up the topics online to find actual analysis. If you can't get it for free, save your money and just visit their website and avoid all the Good Housekeeping and GQ topics.
This week's article from the editor was titled, "My Anti-Wall Rant". The article was about how he had remodeled his house taking down many walls then having a party for neighbors and friends.
In the article, he gives a call-out (read advertisement) for the company who did the work and the paint used to repaint the interior when it was finished. It appears as if the Editor used his position to obtain a deal on remodeling his house. If true, is this ethical?
The magazine is very thin and articles are very basic and/or unrelated to Popular Mechanics, ("Sail with a Cool Couple", "Go Behind the Scenes on Hellboy").

There's always something or another which is just interesting enough to keep the sub going, but it's not
the Popular Mechanics that made me who I am today.
Unless you practice ritualistic grooming of your facial hair, before sipping some small batch whiskey and
wearing $300 jeans to fix an old truck that you paid more for than a new one would cost, there's much less to read each month.
Turns out that the ads are often more compelling than the content.
