Is Barron bad because of content or practice tests?

The general consensus on these forums seems to be that Barron's is complete garbage. However, I was skimming through the 2015 version of Barron and found that the actual content that they offered seemed very similar to other books and materials. Is Barron's bad because their content is somehow flawed, or is it bad because the four practice tests are completely useless?

I have the Barron's book, and it seems maybe they aren't as challenging as other companies. However, you still get four CBTs, so if nothing else, use them for getting used to testing for 7.5 hours straight. I have not actually done the four exams yet, but the questions should probably be good for at least reinforcing information at the least.
