Consumer Reports takes a look at ways to save energy in its latest issue. As part of that series, the magazine also rated replacement windows on several factors including wind resistance, rain resistance, durability and convenience.
Among wood-clad windows, Marvin's Clad Ultimate and Wood Ultrex Integrity lines scored the highest, although Pella's ProLine and Andersen's 200 Series Tilt-Wash received "Best Buy" designations for their lower prices.
The Reliabilt 5600 from Lowe's took top honors for vinyl windows. The Reliabilt and the American Craftsman 9500 Series from Home Depot were both Best Buys.
The Pella Impervia was selected as the top fiberglass window and a Best Buy by the magazine.

What a joke. The Reliabuilt 5600 the best vinyl window?? I wouldn't put it in the top 300.
