August View video doorbell

August View review

The wireless August View smart doorbell offers a step up in class from wireless competitors like Ring, but other than neat integration with the company’s range of smart locks, there’s little to differentiate it from the pack. We tested the device to see how it measures up.
2019 mazda cx 3 grand touring awd review feat

2019 Mazda CX-3 Grand Touring AWD Review

With dashing good looks and an athletic chassis, the 2019 Mazda CX-3 is one of the better looking and handling crossovers. Mazda’s baby crossover struggles as a daily driver, lacking the interior space, usability, and comfortable ride of its competitors. It's for shoppers seeking driving enjoyment, not practicality.
2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid review

2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid review

The 2019 Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid stands out as the Japanese automaker's first production plug-in hybrid model. It borrows its powertrain technology from Toyota, but it manages to still feel like a true Subaru. Is this Subaru-Toyota team effort a good plug-in hybrid? Hop along for the ride as we find out.

Honeywell RTH9585WF1004 Smart Color Thermostat review

We tested out the Honeywell RTH9585WF1004 Smart Color Thermostat for six months to evaluate its performance, ease of use, features, and its ability to serve as a money-saving device. Here’s our full review of the Honeywell Smart Color Thermostat.
2019 mercedes amg e53 coupe review feat

2019 Mercedes-AMG E53 coupe first drive review

The 2019 E53 is part of new line of mild-hybrid models from Mercedes-Benz’s AMG performance division. It’s less aggressive than most other AMG models, but also more approachable. But can good road manners and better gas mileage live in harmony with the sporty character expected from a true Mercedes-AMG car?
reolink c2 pro smart cam review feat

Reolink C2 Pro Smart Cam Review

Five MP image quality and pan, tilt, zoom control are remarkable features in a $100 smart camera, but the Reolink C2 Pro is held back by a lack of cloud storage support and an old-school user experience. Here are the details in our full review.
apple imac 5k 27 inch 2019 review imac5k feat

iMac 5K 27-inch (2019) review

Apple now has four types of iPads -- the budget iPad, the iPad Mini, the iPad Air, and the iPad Pro. The iPad Air is almost the same as the new iPad Mini, save for screen size. While people looking for a small tablet should go for the Mini, professionals that are reluctant about the price of the highest-tier iPad Pro should consider the iPad Air as the tablet to buy.
moto g7 play review feat

Moto G7 Play review

The Moto G series has grown along with the wider budget market, but the Moto G7 Play is the cheapest option. Find out how it performs compared to the competition, what the camera is capable of, how the design feels, and more in our comprehensive Moto G7 Play review.
Apple AirPods

Apple AirPods 2 review

Apple’s updated AirPods arrived last week with little fanfare and packing only minimal improvements. The question is: Has Apple updated its true wireless earphones enough to keep up with the growing crowd of competitors? Check out our review to find out if this is an upgrade worth making.
Apple iPad Air

Apple iPad Air review

Apple now has four types of iPads -- the budget iPad, the iPad Mini, the iPad Air, and the iPad Pro. The iPad Air is almost the same as the new iPad Mini, save for screen size. Professionals reluctant about the price of the highest-tier iPad Pro should consider the iPad Air.
2019 nissan kicks review feat

2019 Nissan Kicks review

The 2019 Nissan Kicks is a subcompact crossover, but without the AWD pretensions of many small SUVs. Simply put, this is a next-generation hatchback that’s fun, useful, and affordable. There’s a lot to like here, and plenty of good reasons why the Kicks should be at the top of your test-drive list.
2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI review

2019 Volkswagen Jetta GLI first drive

The Volkswagen Jetta GLI returns for the 2019 model year with a more aggressive design and hot hatch-like power under the hood. It undercuts the GTI by thousands of dollars, but is it as fun? We put it through its paces on the Tail of the Dragon, an 11-mile stretch of winding tarmac in North Carolina.
alienware area-51m review

Alienware Area-51m review

The Alienware Area-51m is a massive gaming laptop that paves a new path forward for the brand. While it offers many old-school features, it also brings a new look and design philosophy that gamers will love. Our Area-51M review dives into the guts of this portable battlestation.
lockly secure plus review press lifestyle

Lockly Secure Plus Review

With Bluetooth, an app, keypad, pin, fingerprint access and even old-school metal keys, the Lockly Secure Plus offers a dizzying array of access features, but is a little pricier and a little larger than the best value smart locks on the market today. We installed it on our front door to see how it stands up to competitors.
2019 Subaru Forester review

2019 Subaru Forester Touring review

The 2019 Subaru Forester is the latest version of one of the most popular compact crossovers, boasting new technology, and riding on the same modular Subaru Global Platform as the Impreza, Crosstrek, and Ascent. But how does the Forester fare against hot-selling rivals like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4?
Panasonic Lumix S1

Panasonic Lumix S1 review

The $2,500 Lumix S1 is out to beat Canon, Nikon, and Sony at their own game. It throws conventional wisdom to the wind, offering a bigger, heavier, but more capable camera that targets professional photographers. It may not have broad appeal, but it brings more to the table than any other camera for those who can afford it.
JBL UA Flash review

JBL/Under Armour True Wireless Flash review

JBL and Under Armour’s True Wireless Flash are a compelling pair of wireless in-ears with great battery life, a comfortable fit, and fantastic waterproofing, making them among the best workout headphones you’ll find. Just don’t plan on putting the included charging case in your pocket.
2020 Jeep Gladiator

2020 Jeep Gladiator first drive review

The 2020 Jeep Gladiator has generated lots of hype, but is a pickup truck based on the Wrangler a good idea? When designing the Gladiator, Jeep set out to make a vehicle that was more than just a Wrangler with an added pickup bed. It wanted to make a proper midsize truck. Ride with us as we put it through its paces.
MLB The Show 19 review

MLB The Show 19 review

MLB The Show 19’s major game modes and core gameplay feel very familiar to last year, with the exception of some welcome fielding improvements. However, the new March to October mode shines, offering a fresh, engaging way to experience a season without having to sink dozens of hours into it.
2020 Kia Telluride

2020 Kia Telluride first drive review

We travel to western Colorado to drive the all-new 2020 Kia Telluride SUV. This boxy, practical midsize SUV aims to bring truck-like conveniences to a field of wagon-like crossovers. Loaded with tech along with traditional capability, the Telluride provides the complete package for family-car buyers.
moto g7 power review feat

Moto G7 Power review

There are a lot of budget Motorola phones to choose from before we factor in the wider market. Does middle child, the Moto G7 Power, do enough to stand out? We put its hyped stamina to the test in this comprehensive Moto G7 Power review.
MSI GS75 Stealth

MSI GS75 Stealth review

The MSI GS65 made a big splash at its release. It was impossibly thin yet impressively powerful. MSI followed it up in 2019 with a 17-inch version, but the larger size isn’t the only thing that’s changed. Can the GS75 Stealth stand out in a sea of thin-and-light gaming laptops?
Amazon Echo Spot Review

Amazon Echo Spot review

The Amazon Echo Spot, the newest member of Amazon’s smart speaker family, is cute, fun, sleek, and the perfect little alarm clock. With this little device, you'll be snoozing the alarm just for fun.
Canon EOS RP

Canon EOS RP review

The EOS RP is the cheapest new full-frame camera ever made, and that's certainly something. But to bring us the RP, Canon had to take away features and performance we've come to expect from full-frame cameras. Do customers in the market for a cheap, compact camera even need full frame?
Huawei Watch GT Elegant and Active hands-on

Huawei Watch GT Elegant and Active hands-on review

Huawei has launched two new versions of the Watch GT smartwatch, embracing a smaller screen and case size to go along with a new look for the larger model. But while it has not added many new features, it does expect you to pay more to own one. We’ve worn them to see if the higher price is justified.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice review

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice ditches some elements of From Software’s Souls formula, but make no mistake: This is the hardest game the studio has ever made, and it will kick your butt until you’re ready to cry. It makes victory that much sweeter, especially if you use the plethora of new tools, skills, and abilities at your disposal.
garmin marq review expidition 5

Garmin Marq hands-on review

Garmin’s celebrating its 30th anniversary in style with the launch of its Marq range of luxury “tool watches,” which have special features that will appeal to adventurers, sailors, pilots, racing drivers, and the very sporty. You’ll have to splash out, but the high quality and laser focused feature list may tempt you.
lenovo legion y740 15 review

Lenovo Legion Y740 15-inch review

The successor to the Legion Y730, the 15-inch Legion Y740 now packs in the power of the RTX 2070 Max-Q graphics card and an attractive looking design and package for everything a gamer would need to enjoy all the latest hit titles.
huawei p30 review hands on feat

Huawei P30 hands-on review

Has Huawei pulled all the best parts out of the P30 Pro to make the P30, its cheaper, smaller sister phone? Yes, but the answer is more complicated than that. The specification is compelling enough that it’ll be tempting, but it faces serious competition at the moment.
HP Spectre x360 15 2019 review

HP Spectre x360 15 (2019) review

HP’s 2019 Spectre x360 15 brings this massive 2-in-1 up to speed, literally. It now equips the same six-core Intel CPU as the rest of the 15-inch field, along with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Max-Q for some 1080p gaming.
xiaomi mi 9 review xioami feat

Xiaomi Mi 9 Review

How fast do you want to go? If the answer to this is “as fast as possible,” then take a long look at the Xiaomi Mi 9. It’s one of the highest performance smartphones you can buy. The speed comes from the new Snapdragon 855 processor, and permeates through everything.
Fitbit Inspire HR review

Fitbit Inspire HR review

The Fitbit Inspire HR delivers an outstanding value in a fitness tracker, providing all the features you need including solid step tracking, detailed sleep tracking, and reliable heart rate monitoring. The affordable price makes its easy to recommend the Inspire HR for anyone looking to make the jump into the world of fitness tracking.
2019 Mazda Mazda3 AWD review

2019 Mazda3 AWD first drive review

Since its introduction in 2003, Mazda’s compact Mazda3 has been a mainstay of the brand’s driver-oriented strategy. Mazda now plans to move upmarket, and the all-new 2019 Mazda3 offers some clues about how that’s going to work. This model also receives available all-wheel drive for the first time in its history.
iPad Mini 5 (2019)

iPad Mini review (2019)

Apple’s new iPad Mini has beastly performance, fluid iOS 12 software, and good battery life. It also looks like it came straight out of 2015, because the design hasn’t been changed. The market for small tablets has shrunk, so this is the best you can get if you’re eyeing a small tablet.
