The best gear for a roadside emergency

Don’t get caught with a flat tire or an engine breakdown unprepared. We consulted safety experts and mechanics to determine the essentials you should always keep in your car.

The Chromebook we recommend for most people

If you spend most of your time surfing the net in a browser, you can get a better experience for your money with a Chromebook. These are our recommendations.

Meross MSL120 Smart Wi-Fi LED Bulb

Deal price: $21 | Street price: $27

Boasting a vibrant color palette, the Meross MSL120 LED bulb is a breeze to use. We found the brightness range to be less impressive than that of our other picks, but the Meross is also more affordable than most other Apple HomeKit-compatible bulbs and does not require a hub. This deal is for a 2-pack.

Yamazaki Plain Coat Hanger

Deal price: $75 | Street price: $108

Unlike most coat hangers, the Yamazaki has a small base that’s easy to fit into a tiny entryway. Perfect for small spaces, this coat rack’s six hooks may limit its capacity to hold a lot of heavy coats and jackets, but its cute, whimsical design is sure to look great in any space. This deal is available in black.

A Samsung S95B OLED TV with a solid center base and a 55-inch display showing a vibrant abstract image of angular and textured sky blue and neon green waves.

Samsung S95B OLED TV (55-Inch)

Deal price: $1600 | Street price: $1800

The Samsung S95B has a QD-OLED panel, so you can expect truly excellent picture quality. Our top OLED TV pick doesn’t support Dolby Vision HDR—so it won’t provide an immersive experience for video games—but it offers the vivid color saturation and high brightness of quantum dots.

Anker PowerExpand+ 7-in-1 USB-C PD Media Hub

Deal price: $30 | Street price: $35

The PowerExpand+ comes with a variety of USB ports, an SD card slot, an HDMI port, and a microSD card slot. Our budget USB hub pick’s ports are mostly a little slower than those of our top pick, but we still think it’s great value for the price.
