Buying guides

The answer, then the argument

Every guide names a winner in the first screen. Then it tells you what's wrong with it, who should buy something else, and what would change our mind.

The Best Noise Cancelling Headphones

WinnerSony WH-1000XM6

Sony has won this category so many times it has become slightly embarrassing for everyone else. Buy them.

Gaming

The Best Gaming Monitor

WinnerAlienware AW2725QF

4K when you want to look at things, 1080p at 360Hz when you want to win things. One cable, one panel, one price.

Kitchen

The Best Air Fryer

WinnerNinja Max XL AF151

It gets hot, it cleans in ninety seconds, and it has survived fourteen months of frankly hostile use. Buy it and stop reading.

Weird but Excellent

The Best Bidet Attachment

WinnerTushy Classic 3.0

I am aware of how this sounds. I am recommending it anyway, and so does everyone who has bought one.

The Best Laptop

WinnerMacBook Air M5 13"

Buy the MacBook Air unless you have a specific, articulable reason not to. 'I don't like Apple' is a reason. It is just not a technical one.

The cheapest robot vacuum that actually finishes the job and returns to its dock without a search party.

The chair you buy when you have finally accepted that you sit down for a living.

Everyday Carry

The Best Everyday Carry Flashlight

WinnerOlight Arkfeld Ultra

Flat, pocketable, absurdly bright, and it will make you slightly insufferable at parties.

Kitchen

The Best Chef Knife

WinnerMac MTH-80 8" Chef Knife

Buy this once, learn to sharpen it, and never think about knives again. That is the whole guide.

Auto

The Best Dash Cam

WinnerViofo A329

It reads plates in the dark. That is the entire job, and most of them fail it.

Health & Fitness

The Best Electric Toothbrush

WinnerOral-B iO Series 3

This is the cheapest brush with the mechanism that matters. The $300 one has an app that congratulates you.

Style & Grooming

The Best Electric Shaver

WinnerPanasonic Arc5

The closest electric shave available, delivered at a volume that will wake a household.

The Best Kids' Headphones

WinnerPuro BT2200s

They actually enforce the limit they advertise, which sets a bar most of this category cannot clear.

Verdict standsUPD Aug 16, 2026
Outdoors & Tactical

The Best Rain Jacket

WinnerOutdoor Research Foray 3

Full-length side zips, so you can ventilate instead of slowly marinating in your own weather.

Nobody Should Buy a Smart Fridge

No winner — on purpose

There is no correct smart fridge. Buy the dumb version of the same fridge and put a $12 whiteboard on it.
