There’s always the question of choosing between a battery snow blower and a gas snow blower, though. “Battery snow blowers are really nipping at the heels of comparably sized gas models in terms of performance, and they offer advantages that gas snow blowers can’t match,” says Dave Trezza, who oversees CR’s snow blower tests.

In Butler, Pennsylvania, a billboard read “In Musk We Trust.” A Tesla Cybertruck parked on the side of the road sported a TRUMP 2024 flag. With a month left in the presidential campaign, former president Donald Trump returned to Butler for a rally less than three months after the assassination attempt on Trump’s life that…
The One RFID Smart Feeder from Petlibro shows just how far automatic cat-feeding technology has come. For this feeder, the pet wears a collar with a tag in which the feeder’s lid opens only with that tag. There’s a cover that retracts automatically when the pet with the collar approaches the stainless steel food bowl…
In time, I found myself worrying about what would be lost in the event of a house fire or hurricane. I wanted to digitize the images not only to preserve them but also to share them with friends and family, particularly my teenage daughter, so she could one day look back on them and realize…
There are a couple of benefits to going through the data removal process yourself. For starters, it’s free, though some sites may require you to mail in requests (which would require purchasing envelopes, stamps, and the cost to order printouts if you don’t already have the means to print at home). You can also ensure…
Condoms are great. They’re a relatively inexpensive method of birth control and can greatly lower the risk of sexually transmitted infections. And there’s never been a better selection of materials and quality. If you hate condoms, there’s a decent chance you’re using subpar ones, not using them right, or possibly both. Fortunately, we have tested…
It should not be so exciting to eat a breakfast quesadilla in your car. But this quesadilla was from Wawa, this Wawa hosted a Tesla Supercharger, and this car was the 2023 Chevrolet Bolt EUV, hooked up to that Supercharger through an NACS/CCS adapter. More than a year after GM’s switch to NACS was announced,…
The interior is roomy, spare, and will be available in a handful of different colors. The dash looks F-150-ish, with chunky pieces and HVAC vents arrayed around a large center infotainment screen and an oddly asymmetrical 24-inch horizontal digital display screen that sits close to the bottom of the windshield. Its big rotary shifter knob—which…
One common appeal of SUVs is that their taller ride height and higher roofline make them easier to get into and out of. But some SUVs—especially full-sized models—require a large step up, and some stylish, curved rooflines can require passengers to duck to enter. That’s why you won’t see any of the largest SUVs on…
We evaluate space heaters on how well they heat a standard-sized room in 15 minutes and how good they are at heating a person directly—our “spot-heating” score—in the same amount of time. “Our spot-heating test uses a mannequin wired with sensors,” says test engineer Chris Regan, who oversees our space heater ratings. “We want to know…
