Wall oven-microwave combos offer an upscale look while preserving precious counter space, making them a reasonable choice if you want that streamlined design—and happen to have a flexible budget. After all, they can cost between $1,000 and $6,000, significantly more than what you might pay for an entry-level single wall oven and a freestanding microwave….
You’re probably thinking, give me the $49 printer. We get it. No one wants to spend their hard-earned money on one of the least-loved electronics items. But before you go with that Canon Pixma TS3722, consider that you could save money over the long run if you pay a bit more for a printer with…

More than 70 percent of pedestrians hit and killed by motorists are struck at night, according to NHTSA. Protecting pedestrians at night is “likely to require…
The first thing I noticed when taking the Lowrider out of the storage bag (which is much nicer than Bote’s older bags, more on that below) was the massive rear fin. It’s much longer than the detachable fin on the Breeze Aero, and by far the deepest fin I’ve seen on a paddleboard. A sailor…

Our engineers time how long it takes for each saw to work its way through 10-inch-thick oak beams. We use oak because it’s one of the hardest woods most users will encounter on their property, and it makes for a particularly demanding test that reveals differences among models. Those that cut fastest earn a higher…

They also make up the majority of Green Choice washers in our ratings, the most eco-friendly machines designated by a green leaf icon. One major reason that front-loaders may not be more popular is that…
If you want a large (but not huge) iPhone at a modest cost, the standard iPhone line is where to look. These models cost $200 less than their Pro counterparts, which offer the most premium features. But they still tend to perform very well in our tests where it matters on metrics like camera performance,…
For a while now, companies like OpenAI and Google have been touting advanced “reasoning” capabilities as the next big step in their latest artificial intelligence models. Now, though, a new study from six Apple engineers shows that the mathematical “reasoning” displayed by advanced large language models can be extremely brittle and unreliable in the face…
