    EV Charger

    JuiceBox 40

    JuiceBox 40

    Based on CR’s evaluation, I chose a 40-amp WiFi-enabled JuiceBox, an easy-to-use smart charger with an app for monitoring and scheduling, and a 25-foot cable. It did require an electrician to install a 240-volt line to my garage, but it’s super-convenient and all but eliminates any concerns about vehicle range.—Jeff S. Bartlett, Managing Editor, Cars

    This La Roche-Posay sunscreen has continuously been at the top of CR’s ratings for several years, so I know I can trust its protection. But how a sunscreen feels is also important to me, so I’m willing to pay more for one that’s lightweight and sinks into my skin without leaving a sticky residue. I’ve tried a lot of sunscreens, and this has become my go-to for face and body year-round.—Trisha Calvo, Deputy Editor, Health & Food

    I’ve relied on my Le Creuset Signature Dutch Oven since I received it as a wedding gift 14 years ago, and I whip up everything from billowy Dutch baby pancakes to perfectly braised chicken. It’s easy to keep clean and so solid that the lifetime warranty doesn’t feel like a stretch.—Joanne Chen, Deputy Editor, Home

    I’m for anything that helps me get a paint job done faster and stretches out the time between touch-ups. This Behr Marquee interior paint tops our ratings with a stain-resistant, one-coat finish—no primer required. It helped speed up my own home-improvement projects and still looks great. The formula—with low volatile organic compounds—makes it a good pick for a bedroom, too.—Tanya Christian, Multimedia Content Creator, Home

    When I needed a chainsaw to clear some fallen limbs after a big storm, I quickly decided on this Echo CS-3510 model that stood out in our tests. While the rest of my neighborhood waited for tree services to return their calls, I cleaned up the mess in a single afternoon as the saw powered its way through heavy branches in no time.—Paul Hope, Senior Multimedia Content Creator, Home
