Gifts for Mom shouldn’t be about giving her a vacuum or anything related to the stereotypical cleaning tasks of parenthood—a perfect gift for…
Our tests use rising water levels to recreate a main system failure. Flow rates are measured based on a 10-foot vertical lift, with each pump hooked up to a 10-foot vertical discharge pipe. Testers determine the flow rate by weighing a collection barrel before and after our tests to calculate gallons per minute. For battery-powered…
Over the years we’ve tested dozens of different lubes, and some of them are pretty good if not exactly the best in any particular category. For those, we have this section, our Honorable Mentions. #LubeLife Water-Based Lube for $10: I’ve been a fan of #LubeLife for a while. It’s a reliable brand with water-based lubes…

It’s taken me many years, and many thousands of pizzas, to refine my technique. And to be honest, my Neapolitan-style pizzas don’t really meet the standard set by the Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana, the world authority on Neapolitan pizzas. (The Karu is the only oven here that the AVPN recommends.) But over the years, I…
Never judge a pillow by its appearance. I was skeptical about this one at first because of its unusual shape, but I’m so glad I was proved wrong. The first thing I want to address is the hurdle I have faced with other inflatable pillows in the past. I’ve never been able to inflate anything…

Manufacturers report a model’s noise level in decibels, averaging the readings over the dishwasher’s full cycle. But that isn’t necessarily the best indicator of noise output. So CR’s panel of judges sit and listen to each dishwasher that we test through its entire cycle—even if it takes 3 hours. “People remember a noise when it’s…
