Robot vacuums have improved in nearly every feature, and that includes the price. While you can expect to pay anywhere between $1,000 to $1,500 for a brand-new, fully-featured robot vacuum mop, you can snag last year’s models for pretty incredible prices. That includes our current best robot vacuum, which is last year’s Eufy X10 Pro…
It can seem like there’s an endless number of multipurpose cleaners out there; it isn’t easy to choose just one. We evaluated 11 popular products to find out which ones clean the best on a variety of surfaces. All of them fulfilled our cleaning tasks, but four stood out because of their fast performance and…
Apple has taken the second approach with caveats. Rumors suggest the iPhone 17 Air’s battery capacity will sit around 2,900 mAh, a steep drop from prior iPhone models, especially at the 6.6-inch screen size. But the company is supposedly making up for it with power-saving tricks to make sure battery life remains similar to other…
If you have elected for a robot vacuum with mapping capabilities, it usually gives you the option of a quick mapping run without cleaning. It might seem like a waste, but it does save time in the long run. Use the mapping run to take a quick walk around your house and look for dangling…
If I can offer one piece of unsolicited advice: Black Friday is a marathon, not a sprint. With the surplus of Black Friday beauty deals, it’s way too easy to spiral or blow your entire budget at Ulta the first day, but that’s exactly what we’re trying to avoid. We tested the bestsellers and cross-checked…
We test only broad-spectrum sunscreens labeled SPF 30—the minimum that dermatologists recommend you use—or above. Most of the sunscreens are water-resistant. But because some facial sunscreens are meant for everyday use—not just when you’ll be swimming or sweating—a few of the ones we tested aren’t water-resistant. We’ve clearly marked which ones are (and for how…
I found the Pro 3’s new heart rate monitor functionality to be a solid addition when I used the earbuds while working out. I could listen to music or a podcast, while the AirPods fed my heart rate information to the Apple Fitness app on my iPhone. Which means I could leave my Apple Watch…
For additional protection, look for a space heater equipped with an appliance leakage current interrupter (ALCI) plug, says Samantha Ostrander, who oversees CR’s space heater tests. These bulky plugs—similar to those seen on hair dryers—safeguard against differences in current and can also protect against a dangerous electrical shock. Like GFCI outlets, ALCI plugs typically feature…
The team members went through a process of incrementally determining what elements and molecules the bacterial strain could grow on. They already knew it could use oxygen, so they tested other combinations in the lab. When oxygen was absent, RSW1 could process hydrogen gas and elemental sulfur—chemicals it would find spewing from a volcanic vent—and…
