If you prefer spray sunscreens, this one from Neutrogena is a great option, and it’s on sale now so you can stock up before summer. Of all the spray sunscreens we’ve tested, this rates among the best. It’s very good in overall performance across the board with excellent UVA protection and very good protection from sunburn-producing rays. And it ranks highly for people with darker skin tones, too. Testers said they were extremely satisfied because the sunscreen enhanced their skin tone without leaving a white cast.

This Eucerin Advanced Hydration SPF 50 spray is a solid performer with broad spectrum protection. Its tested SPF comes close to its labeled SPF 50. Like the sunscreen above, it also has that plastic fragrance-free aroma, and it left a slight draggy film on testers’ skin.

This Biore UV Aqua Rich SPF 50 Daily Moisturizer facial sunscreen uses chemical active ingredients and delivers strong broad-spectrum protection, with excellent UVA coverage to help prevent premature aging and long-term skin damage, and very good UVB protection to effectively guard against sunburn. Its high-performing formula makes it well-suited for daily use as well as extended time outdoors, offering reliable defense in a lightweight, comfortable application. It’s a lotion with a citrus and lemongrass aroma, but it is not water-resistant.

The Easy-Take Skincare Fridge is back down to the best price we’ve seen. It is also the only skincare fridge we evaluated that has an LED mirror on the front door that has three brightness levels, which comes in handy if you’re trying to save space on your vanity. The fridge has one removable shelf, but the height can’t be adjusted. The door closes securely with a magnetic closure, but its capacity is smaller than other models we tried, and it was unable to fit a 13.5-fl-ounce bottle of Micellar water.

If you want an electric toothbrush that won’t cost an arm and a leg, the Sonicare 4100 is a good choice. This is the standard sale price that’s available more often than not, but it’s much cheaper than other options that rate just as highly in our tests. Although this toothbrush is on the simpler side when it comes to extra features, it still performs admirably when it comes to teeth cleaning and ease of use. It offers two cleaning modes, and does come with two especially helpful features: a timer and a pressure sensor. It doesn’t offer any connectivity to an app.

If you prefer a deep tissue massage, this Sharper Image massager could be just what you’re looking for. One of our evaluators said it was so strong she felt as though her privacy was being invaded. Another could only handle it at its lowest intensity, but she did say that once she got used to it, she found it to really help loosen her shoulder muscles. It is the most expensive model we tried and the heaviest at nearly 5 pounds. But with this discount, if you want an intense massage, it’s definitely worth a look.

The Homedics massager sets itself apart from the other models we evaluated because it’s wireless and rechargeable. This normally makes it a bit pricier, but the discount and on-page coupon help make it a more reasonable purchase. Because it’s more of a pillow shape, our evaluator said it was harder to use on shoulders, but it was comfortable on their back. The only downsides are that the heat function doesn’t get quite as hot as other models, reaching only 93º F, and there is no way to control the speed.

While one of our evaluators noted the chef hat-like shape of this bonnet was the least flattering of those we tried, the satin-lined Hairbrella’s elastic band is adjustable and stays put. It also comes in three sizes, allowing you to choose a larger size, which is especially useful if you wear rollers or rods when you sleep.

For the lowest price it’s ever been, the Arctic Air neck fan has the best airflow angle of every model our evaluator tried (and it’s not even adjustable). It’s also on the louder side, so it may only be a good choice if you don’t mind a little extra noise near your ears.

This neck fan may be a great tool to keep in your arsenal for hot days. For the price, you don’t get any bells and whistles like cooling or mist that you can find in pricier models. It simply blows air at three speeds. It’s also not adjustable, so you can’t aim the airflow, but the vents wrap all the way around the fan to cool your face and neck.

The Tymo Ring Straightening Comb is just $7 more than its lowest price. CR writer and product tester Jodhaira Rodriguez was impressed with how well and how quickly this comb straightened her frizzy, dry hair. It’s shaped like a traditional hair comb with smooth, horizontal teeth. Because of the smoothness of the bristles, hair isn’t gripped as it passes through the comb; it glides smoothly just like a comb does, as long as the hair is detangled. It has five temperature settings that range from 266° F to 410° F, and an auto-shutoff feature that turns the straightening comb off after 30 minutes.

The Shark SpeedStyle Pro Flex competes with the highly sought-after Dyson models, but at more than half the price. Like the Dyson models, our testers liked how easily the attachments snapped onto the hair dryer, and how you can rotate them without removing them. Its airflow is so strong that when turned on, it has a kickback. 

It has another high-end feature: its IQ Speed Styling & Drying Suite automatically adjusts heat and speed depending on the attachment. The attachments are unique and feature-rich, including the Frizzfighter, which is helpful in making sleek bangs (and flyaways). The diffuser features different prong lengths depending on hair type, and its brush attachment includes boar bristles. Its highest temperature reading in our tests was 115° F.

The GHD Helios, while not as fast as a Drybar model or the popular Dyson dryer, still scored well in our dry-speed tests. It’s one of the loudest we tried, but it gave our testers voluminous locks. The Helios has two heat settings plus a cool shot, two speed settings, and a concentrator attachment. It also features a brushless motor, which could mean that this dryer will last longer than those without one. Each color is on sale, but the white model’s price is $10 less than we’ve seen recently.

This Shark hair dryer comes with two attachments—a combo narrow and wide concentrator and a brush. In our tests, it got a perfect score for ease of use and did very well when it came to its features. It did lose points for being a bit on the heavy side, so your arm may get a little tired if it takes a while to dry your hair.

Hot Tools hair styling tools are a common sight at hair salons, and for good reason. Our evaluators found that this flat iron heated up fast and was easy to use. It has variable heat settings to give users more control, and the plates are slightly longer than most straighteners, a feature that could be useful for styling longer hair. It’s important to note that the temperature consistency isn’t reliable and could vary by as much as 20 degrees from the set temperature during use. It has a 2-hour window before it automatically shuts off, so you’ll want to remember to unplug it after every use. It’s been hovering around this price for the last few months, but before that it rarely dipped below $60.

The GHD Platinum+ flat iron is at the best price we’ve seen in a long time, dipping over $30 in the last few weeks. It delivered great results for all three evaluators who tried it. It has only one heat setting of 365° F, but it takes only 21 seconds to heat up and then keeps that heat consistent. It comes with a silicone holder so that you can store it before it’s cooled down all the way, and the swivel cord and pivoting plates make it easy to handle. Best of all, the On button is on the inside of the handle, so you won’t accidentally switch it off while you’re using it.

The Alcedo digital thermometer earned top marks for accuracy and consistency, and despite its very reasonable price, it’s packed with features. This model can be used as an in-ear thermometer and, when an included cap is affixed over the probe, it can also be used as a forehead thermometer. It isn’t used with disposable plastic probe caps, so it needs to be thoroughly cleaned after every in-ear use. But our testers found that it was quite easy to clean. The memory recall on this thermometer stores up to 20 temperature readings. You can also use the forehead mode to measure the temperature of objects, such as bottles of formula.

The Eargo 7 is one of the smallest and most discreet OTC hearing aids available, and it’s self-fitting too, so you can customize it to your particular hearing needs. Still, Eargo is also one of the priciest OTC hearing aid brands available. At a sale price of $2,450 per pair, the Eargo 7 is no steal. (Prescription Costco hearing aids, by contrast, which are programmed to your hearing by a professional, start at $1,500 per pair.) But if you’re interested in trying out the brand, now is a good time to give it a shot. And keep in mind that they come with a 45-day return period, so you can take a few weeks to figure out whether they’re right for you.

These behind-the-ear, self-fitting hearing aids from Lexie offer a lot of versatility. Setting up the Lumens involves taking a short hearing test, which then calibrates the aids based on your results. You can also toggle among different environmental settings like “noisy indoor,” “outdoor,” and “everyday use.” Volume can be controlled either by the connected app or via buttons on the aids themselves.
