We run them through an extensive series of tests, then write about which ones we like (and which ones we don’t). We also break down which products are best for specific situations and lifestyles, so you can make the most informed buying choice possible.

ZeroWater vs Brita: Who Wins?
We tested both of these popular water filters against each other, and the rest of the market, in order to come away with a recommendation for a filter pitcher you should use in your home.

ThermoWorks Thermapen Review
Although a great thermometer, we came to the conclusion that the Thermapen shouldn't be the top choice for most people. It's an amazing product, but not really worth its $100 price point.

The Best Electric Wine Opener
The Wine Enthusiast electric wine opener is our choice due to its ease of use, great battery life, and overall brand reputation.
-
NutriBullet Pro Review: Does it Perform?
The NutriBullet comes with a ton of hype, but for the most part, it delivers. It took first in our test of the best personal blenders.
-
The Best Water Filter Pitcher
Great taste, affordability, and ergonomic design made the MAVEA Elemaris our pick for the best overall water filter pitcher. It doesn't have the brand recognition of Brita or ZeroWater, but it does have the performance.
-
ZeroWater Review: Can Zero be a Hero?
No water filter pitcher is better at removing all unsafe solids than the ZeroWater pitcher. However, it still came in second in our overall rankings due to slow filter time and average taste.
-
Brita Water Pitcher Review
The Brita has outstanding filter time and brand recognition, but it's not the best overall water filter pitcher given average filtering and ergonomic design.
-
The Best French Press Coffee Maker
The SterlingPro's great construction and ability to keep a cup of coffee hotter, longer, made it our choice for the best french press amongst other solid contenders.
-
The Best Aluminum Can Crusher
We took down over 1000 soda cans to determine our selection of the best can crusher: the Easy Pull Auto Dispenser. The Easy Pull is quick, inexpensive, risk-free and easy to use.

The Best Popcorn Maker
Nothing keeps it poppin' quite like the Lékué, which is portable, functional, and affordable -- a great all-around package in a popcorn maker.
