Happy July. Unsurprisingly, Wirecutter readers spent last month looking for products to keep them cool. A couple of our favorite air conditioners topped the most-popular list, as did our favorite breezy sheets, powerful fans, and ice cream maker. And other readers smartly coped with the heat by simply escaping it, jetsetting away with our favorite carry-on luggage and travel pillow in tow. Thanks for sweating it out with us.
