Most models use a double-wall design (like an insulated metal mug) to burn wood more efficiently, cutting smoke in the process. That wall is crucial—by trapping hot air against the fire chamber, it makes it easier for wood to fully light. In addition, most models feature a network of holes or vents, strategically placed to…
At most large retailers you’ll find at least a dozen slide-in ranges to choose from, some with fancier features than others. But what’s most important is a slide-in range’s ability to perform some very basic tasks really, really well, day in and day out. That’s why we recommend slide-ins only if they meet the following…

Credit where it’s due, former Renault-Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn—the man who was later smuggled out of Japan in a double bass case—was quick to identify electrification as the key paradigm shift in the 21st-century car industry. Cue the cute Renault Zoe, forward-thinking in terms of design and propulsion, but perhaps too aloof to capture hearts…
Most of the robotic mops we test traverse a room in a grid pattern, starting around the perimeter and then crisscrossing it from side to side, first in one direction, then in the other. A few follow a random pattern. To test navigation, we assess the mop’s ability to avoid obstacles, maneuver past carpet fringe…

Soap and water can remove small debris from the cut, but you can also use tweezers soaked…

Since then, though, the expectations of the level of Apple’s capitulation have only grown more onerous. Algorithms that determine what the public sees online or through AI have to be registered with the Chinese authorities, and new AI legislation is largely focused on controlling the exact public-interfacing models that Western tech companies want to get…
We test how every cooktop performs at low and high heat. Just about any cooktop will fare well enough when cooking over medium heat, but a stellar model will also boil quickly and simmer steadily. For high-heat cooking, we fill a standardized pot with 4 quarts of water and place it on the largest cooktop…
Based on these survey results, we used a statistical model to give each brand a predicted reliability rating—an estimate of your chances of experiencing problems by the end of the fourth year of ownership. We also give brands an owner satisfaction rating, which is based on the proportion of members who are extremely likely to…
