My unscientific feeling is that Wirecutter's gotten worse: less rigorous testing (particularly for reliability), more arbitrary reasoning behind their choices and what things are dealbreakers, more products excluded. A lot of things they seem to basically just pick some popular brands, talk about Amazon reviews, etc.
They also seem to have a much broader range of things covered now, so I think the strategy was to go cheaper, faster, wider.
