Full evaluation of the P85D has been completed, however, and Consumer Reports had to modify its scoring system because the P85D scored too high.
At first, the P85D scored 103 on Consumer Reports rating scale, which actually tops out at 100.

On the downside of things, Consumer Reports found the P85D to be louder than the base model.
