Cory Fernandez's Picks

I’ve always been a service-first journalist, which means I do a lot of work to sift through a product's virality, aesthetic and buzzworthiness to find out if it actually does what it’s supposed to. As someone with a decade of experience in home and kitchen, I have lot of informed opinions about air fryers that work well (but also aren’t annoying to clean), vacuums that actually pick up pet hair (regardless of how lightweight they are), cleaning products that are often more effective than they are trendy and sateen blankets are equal parts cooling and soft. To me, what makes a good product is one that doesn’t sacrifice function for style or clicks. – Cory Fernandez, commerce editor
