Wirecutter - A cult-favorite bath towel

Michael Murtaugh

Senior staff writer Jackie Reeve has tested dozens and dozens of towels for Wirecutter over the years. She’s found that though many towels will do a good job of drying you off, none are quite as luxurious as the Frontgate Resort Cotton Towel.

‌

“Of all the picks I’ve made over the years, the Frontgate towel is the one I hear people—staffers, readers, even parents from my daughter’s school—rave about the most.”

‌

It’s no surprise we’ve loved this towel since 2017. It’s dense, plush, soft, and only seems to get better with time. But if you’d rather drape yourself in something thin and textured, we have that, too.

The best smartwatch for Androids

These smartwatches track your activity levels and make it easy to check notifications. And they’re good-looking enough they might even be confused with traditional watches from afar.

Drills for your next DIY project

After another round of tests, we have a new also-great pick for the best drill. It hasn’t dethroned our top pick, but it offers a good middle ground of power and heft, particularly for beginners.

Lap desks we love

If you like to work on a laptop or tablet—or do a crossword, write thank-you notes, color, whatever—from your couch or in bed, a lap desk can help.

Powecom KN95 Respirator Mask (10 pack, Ear Loops)

Deal price: $9 | Street price: $12

Use promo code VIKES

We like that Powecom mask’s fasteners are sturdily attached (more so than most) and that they knot easily for adjustment. Slightly rounded, as opposed to flat, they’re somewhat gentler on the ears, too.
