Promising review: "I needed to organize some charging cables, which I previously had to detangle every time I needed them. So I mounted these cable organizers on the inside of my storage closet door and attached the cables. Now, they are super quick to grab and use, and they can always go back to the same place. No more entangled charge cables!" —Nicole M. Get it from Amazon for $7.96+ (available in two colors).

Ninja's Glass-Bowl Air Fryer Won Me Over. Here Are 4 Reasons I Made the Switch
CNET's expert staff reviews and rates dozens of new products and services each month, building on more than a quarter century of expertise. 9.2 / 10 SCORE Ninja Crispi $180 at Amazon $180 at Best Buy $180 at Target Pros Cook, serve, and storage capabilities Easy to clean: almost everything is dishwasher-safe Intuitive operation No concern about PFAS Ability to see cooking in progress Can buy additional glass vessels for maximum food prep Small storage footprint with nesting capabilities Portable Cons Price is on the high side for air fryers Some exposed hot elements during operation Ninja Crispi 9.2/10 CNET Score $180 at Amazon We're a little obsessed with air fryers around here. We've spent countless hours putting them through their paces -- testing everything from frozen snacks to full meals -- while also evaluating how each model performs. This past spring, a new contender stood out: an air fryer with a sleek glass cooking chambe that breaks from the usual bulky black-box design and hard-to-get-really-clean nonstick basket. After running it through our full battery of tests, it didn't just pass -- it quickly became the favorite. The result? It earned CNET's Editor's Choice award and claimed the top spot on our Best Air Fryers of 2025 list. The Ninja Crispi is our new favorite air fryer. Ninja Read more: Air Fryer Fails: 8 Foods That Just Can't Handle the Heat The Crispi is one of the more expensive air fryers we've tested at $160. But if you're hunting for an air fryer that's easy to use, easy to get clean -- like, really clean -- built to last and causes no concern about ingesting cookware chemicals, the Ninja Crispi is worth a look. Here's how it works and four reasons I switched to a glass-bowl air fryer in 2025. Ninja Crispi 4-in-1 portable glass air fryer at a glance Style : Modular air fryer with two sizes of glass cooking vessels and a separate cooking pod in three color options : Modular air fryer with two sizes of glass cooking vessels and a separate cooking pod in three color options Dimensions : 13.5 by 12 by 13.5 inches : 13.5 by 12 by 13.5 inches Power : 1,500 watts : 1,500 watts Weight : 15.74 pounds : 15.74 pounds Price $160 Ninja Crispi operation: How it's different Being able to visually track progress is one of the big draws for Ninja's new air fryer. Pamela Vachon/CNET The cooking pod itself includes crisp, bake, air fry and max crisp functions. Crisp is intended to revive leftovers, while max crisp is the ideal setting for packaged frozen foods. While it is tempting, given its baking dish look, the glass TempWare bowls are not intended to be used as the actual cooking vessels for batters in bake mode, because air still needs to circulate below the cooking vessels to be effective. (Will I try anyway? The temptation is real…) Pressing any button will indicate a digital timer to which you can add or subtract minutes. (The timer defaults to 10.) Below 1 minute, the timer changes into seconds and the device beeps to alert you when the cycle is complete. Overall, the sound level of the Ninja Crispi was similar to conventional air fryer models, with just a moderate whir when operating. 4 reasons I switched to the glass-bowl Ninja Crispi You can see what you're cooking My brussels sprouts got a good char in the Crispi. Pamela Vachon/CNET As expected, the ability to see the cooking in progress was really satisfying, both from a nerdy perspective and also to be able to look for visual cues in terms of when to flip your items or to assess doneness. Both chicken parts and Brussels sprouts were cooked evenly and efficiently with little risk of over-cooking given the 360-degree window into the proceedings. 2. Glass bowls are nontoxic and easy to get clean NInja Most air fryers use aluminum cooking baskets with a nonstick coating. Those coatings tend to chip and breakdown if you're not careful. Plenty of folks are concerned about the health ramifications for ingesting nonstick chemicals that chip of of cookware. With a glass-bowl air fryer, there's no worry. If that's not enough, glass is much easier to deep-clean than nonstick surfaces and you can use the dishwasher without issue. 3. The glass bowls double as food storage containers The cooked food is ready to be packed away or brought to a party as soon as it's done. Pamela Vachon/CNET The versatility, however, makes the Ninja Crispi tremendously interesting, especially for avid meal preppers. Full meals or individual cooked components can go right from cooking into the fridge, with the included lids for easy storage. (Although I am bound by refrigerator logistics to tell you to let it all cool first, so you don't inadvertently raise the temperature inside your fridge.) Additional cooking bowls in a variety of sizes can be purchased separately, allowing for the possibility of a multitude of individually cooked meals with no cleanup required in between use: just transfer the cooking pod from one cooking vessel to the next, assembly-line style. Sunday meal prep has never been easier, nor required fewer dishes. 4. It's easy to store The Ninja Crispi is also easy to store, with a footprint and height requirement that is far less than a lot of conventional models. It also makes for easy portability -- ideal for a potluck situation or even just a hot-meal self-care moment -- where you could even justify cooking on site. Either of the cooking bowls and the cooking pod could easily fit in a shoulder bag. If I worked in an office, it would thrill me to bring the whole thing with me to have a hot, healthful lunch without reheating. Although if you're contemplating being the person to cook fish directly at your desk -- maybe don't. Not only can the larger 4-quart bowl be used directly as a family-style serving vessel -- whose practical feet preclude the need for a trivet or pot holder -- but one could argue that the smaller 4-cup vessel can be used to eat out of directly, significantly reducing the number of dishes to wash. Speaking of washing, everything except the cooking pod itself is dishwasher-safe. Ninja Crispy setup Convenient as it, the glass cooking chamber does get hotter than your average air fryer base. Pamela Vachon/CNET Despite not looking anything like a typical air fryer, the Ninja Crispi was intuitive to set up and use. Each of the glass cooking vessels has a built-in stand with feet that keeps it off the counter surface. Side handles are also fitted on the stands of the bowls, which allow not only for easy transporting between the counter and the table (because the vessels can also be used to serve) but also make it easy to shake the contents as needed during the cooking process. The nonstick crisper plates were packaged separately and simple to place inside the bowls and to remove for cleaning. Lids for the 6-cup and 4-quart bowls were also included: a snap-on lid for the smaller and a simpler press-on lid for the larger. The cooking pod itself has an ergonomic shape for easy lifting and also has feet for safe placement on the counter when not in use. The cooking pod sits easily on top of the 6-cup bowl and a big-batch adapter frame fits the cooking pod onto the larger bowl. Between unwrapping and rinsing all of the washable parts, I was ready to go in about 2 minutes. What I didn't like about the Ninja Crispi Convenient as it, the glass cooking chamber does get hotter than your average air fryer base. Pamela Vachon/CNET As a modular device with a ton of built-in practicality and versatility, I do think the Ninja Crispi is a game-changer in the air fryer market. That said, at $160 it's on the higher side, price-wise, for an air fryer. Those with little ones in the house also may want to note: When the cooking pod is being used with the adapter for large batches, the adapter can become hot and is potentially exposed once the heating pod is removed. Never minding little ones, if you're an absent-minded cook yourself, it can be a hazard. Read more: 8 Foods That Go From Good to Great in an Air Fryer Final verdict on the Ninja Crispi If you're a disciple of air fryer cooking and, especially if you have a serious commitment to meal prepping, the Ninja Crispi is arguably one of the most versatile models on the market. It's satisfying to use and easy to store and clean. You may want to look for it on sale during Prime Days or the like, but even without a discount, its utility and the reputation of the Ninja brand merits its price tag.

2 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Stocks With High Conviction
Key Points Spending on artificial intelligence could reach an astounding $4.8 trillion by 2033. Nvidia's GPUs are critical for the training and deployment of complex AI models. AI developers want the best cloud infrastructure, and Amazon leads in this area. 10 stocks we like better than Nvidia › Fortunes have been made by investing in artificial intelligence (AI) stocks. But there's still a lot of room left to go. The United Nations, for instance, believes that the AI market will grow from $189 billion worldwide in 2023 to nearly $5 trillion by 2033. Want to make sure your portfolio benefits? The two AI stocks below are for you. Nvidia remains the smartest AI investment When it comes to AI stocks, Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) is king. Even if you're already familiar with this stock, there's a good chance that shares are much cheaper than you realize. If you've been following the AI market, you'll know that Nvidia is the most valuable GPU maker in the world. GPUs sit at the heart of the AI revolution. They're critical for training and deploying complex AI models. They also make it possible for end users to access these models en masse from anywhere in the world. Right now, Nvidia's GPUs dominate the market. The firm has an estimated 90% market share for AI GPUs. Its performance and ecosystem advantages have granted the company the highest gross margins in the industry. Wall Street analysts are unsurprisingly excited. Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives believes Nvidia's market cap will surge to $5 trillion within months. The biggest near-term catalyst: the decision by the U.S. government to allow Nvidia's new GPUs to be exported to China, a country that previously accounted for around 13% of the company's sales. While shares are expensive based on trailing earnings, the stock trades at just 39 times forward earnings. Considering the AI boom is expected to persist for a decade or more, expect Nvidia to maintain double-digit annual growth rates for years to come. This should quickly eat into the upfront valuation premium, making shares a relative bargain for patient investors. Amazon is an artificial intelligence powerhouse Apart from Nvidia, Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) stock looks like one of the best ways to invest in the AI revolution over the long term. That's because its most profitable business segment, Amazon Web Services, sits at the center of everything AI. We've already discussed how Nvidia's GPUs sit between AI developers and the end users themselves. But there's one other industry that also sits at the center of the action: cloud infrastructure providers. Most estimates believe Amazon's AWS division is the largest cloud infrastructure provider in the world. Data compiled by Statista gives AWS a 30% global market share, nearly as much as the next two competitors combined. While the data center industry is a bit more commoditized than the GPU market, there's clear differentiation by the players that can afford to invest at scale. Developers -- AI developers in particular -- want the best infrastructure possible. That includes the best hardware and the most locations from a geographic perspective. This makes it quicker, cheaper, and more convenient for customers. As the largest cloud provider in the world, Amazon is second to none in its ability to invest and expand its network. This should continue to place AWS at the center of increased spending. "Companies are spending and they're spending more, and they plan to spend even more," Baird analyst Colin Sebastian recently told GeekWire. "We did a survey last month of 100 corporations, and 87% of them said they will increase spending on Gen AI over the next year -- and a grand total of zero out of 100 said they would spend less." The AI spending boom is real. Demand should grow by 20% to 30% annually for years to come. With Amazon trading at 37 times earnings, most of its growth in this area is masked by its relatively slower growing e-commerce division. But as AWS becomes a bigger driver of Amazon's overall business, we could see growth rates accelerate, making shares a relative bargain in hindsight. Should you invest $1,000 in Nvidia right now?

I spent 3 weeks testing this wet and dry floor cleaner, and I'm finally ready to ditch my mop — here's why
Weight: 11.5 lbsClean tank capacity: 24.6 fl ozDirty tank capacity: 21.1 fl ozSettings: 3 cleaning modesRun time: 40 minutesCharging time: 5 hoursNoise: 74 dB(A) I'm all for making my life easier, and I welcome any household gadget that saves me time, especially if it's a cleaning aid. I already own one of the best vacuum cleaners, and love my cordless upright Shark, but it doesn't wash my hard floors. It's efficient at cleaning up dust and dirt, but it can't provide that deep-down clean that is needed when dirt is trodden in from my yard, or when drinks are spilled. With four adults living in my home, I need something that works and cuts down on my chores. Enter Eureka's RapidWash 730 wet and dry vacuum cleaner. It might not work on carpet, so I'll stick to using my Shark upstairs, but it sure comes up trumps on hard floors. Here's how it held up when I put it to the test for 3 weeks in my busy home. Wet and dry floor cleaners are an investment, and it's no different for the Eureka RapidWash 730, which is $499 at Amazon. Currently, it's the same price as Tineco's Floor One S6, which I've also tested. However, the company's previous launch, the RapidWash 630 is $379 at Amazon. However, although it's much more pricey than a mop and bucket, the Eureka RapidWash 730 is significantly less than Dyson's V15 Detect Submarine, which is currently $799 direct from Dyson. The Eureka RapidWash 730 is similar in design to Tineco's Floor One S6, to the extent that it made it easy to assemble, as it felt familiar. Although, if it's your first time using a wet and dry vacuum, the instructions will give you all the information you need to assemble the floor cleaner. To begin with, insert the handle into the main body of the cleaner, and then ensure it's charged. For this, sit the cleaner into the base unit and turn the power supply on. The main body of the cleaner houses the clean water tank to the rear and the dirty water tank to the front, which features a cleaning filter at the top. Both are easy to remove and replace. Just like the Tineco Floor One S6, the machine comes with only one cleaning head, which is integrated into the appliance. However, you can remove the roller plate and roller for cleaning and maintenance. I was curious why the roller is split into two sections, so I asked Eureka the reason behind the design, and the company replied, 'On most floor washers, the brush motor sits outside the roller, making one side too bulky to reach edges. Eureka addressed this by fitting a small secondary brush around the external motor so both sides of the roller can clean right up to walls and baseboards. The result looks like a split roller, but it's actually a design feature for edge-to-edge cleaning.' The controls are on the handle, just where you place your thumb, and there's a handy LED scene positioned at an angle on the top of the dirty water tank. It allows you to view details about your clean-up while you're cleaning, such as the percentage of charge remaining and the cleaning mode you're currently using. You can switch between three modes — from Auto mode, which is the default setting, to Turbo mode and Dry suction mode. As you would expect, with turbo mode, the speed of the rollers and the amount of water dispersed are increased to deal with heavier stains on floors. This also means more power is exerted. Apart from where the appliance is charged, the docking station also has space to store the cleaning brush and roller. Although it does seem a little hefty, it measures 12 (W) x 14 (D) inches. Overall, it's a smart appliance, and it feels like a well-made quality product. Having already used one wet and dry floor cleaner, I was familiar with how to set this one up, and it won't take you long to get up and running, once you've charged it for five hours! You'll then need to remove the water tank, which is positioned on the back of the appliance, and fill it with clean water, which can hold up to 24.6 oz. I'd also advise adding the Eureka cleaning solution that comes with the appliance, but you don't need much. When the clean water tank is nearly empty, you'll hear a voice prompt to let you know. However, if it does run dry, no water will be sprayed when using auto mode. Once you're charged up and the clean water tank is filled, step on the floor brush to release the handle from its vertical position. Then, press the 'power' button and the 'mode' button to switch between auto and turbo mode, depending on the desired intensity of cleaning. You can also select 'dry' mode only, which is particularly handy if you've had a spillage. It's relatively easy to use, although I did find it quite heavy and I share this information in my initial first impressions of the Eureka Rapid Wash. I felt the same when I first used the Tineco Floor One S6, but in comparison the RapidWash is heavier. Now I've been using the appliance for a while, I don't notice the weight as much, but do consider this factor if you're going to be carrying it up and down stairs. It also pretty much reclines right to the floor, and has a lie-flat reach of 170°, which is a bonus when you want to extend the cleaner under furniture. An LED light also comes on when you're vacuuming, which highlights less obvious dirty patches. The Eureka RapidWash 730 is designed for use on hard flooring, and I tested it on two types of laminate wood flooring and kitchen tiles, which have an uneven surface. I could feel the power of the machine and the suction grip it had on the floor. This did make it harder to maneuver, especially when pulling it back, but it was perfectly feasible. Apart from cleaning up messes, I also noticed how well it removed the excess water, and I was able to walk on the floor straight after cleaning. I've been using a cordless vacuum for years, but if you're still waiting to make the swap, don't hesitate. They are so much easier to move around and clean, without the hindrance of constantly unplugging wires or avoiding tripping over them. You'll also be aghast at what the dirty water tank contains. The main debris, hair, and general gunk collect in the top section of the tank, while the dirty water remains below. This makes it easier to separate and empty. We're a pet-free household, but it still collects a fair amount of hair, and I feel confident that it would be a worthy appliance for pet owners, cleaning up fur and muddy footprints. I tended to stick to using 'Auto' mode in my main living room, but for my hallway and area near my back door, I switched up to 'Turbo' mode. This gave these slightly muckier areas a deeper clean using more water. However, I didn't notice a difference in water residue despite more water output. I thought I'd throw in a few challenges during the trial to see how it cleaned up cocoa and coffee grounds. I started by using the 'Dry' mode to clean up the cocoa powder, but then needed to switch to the 'Auto' mode to remove the remaining streaks. The same process was repeated for the coffee grounds. I also tried the 'Dry' mode for a water spill, and it met this challenge without any problems. The Voice Assistant started to drive me mad after a while, but you can switch this feature off by pressing the button positioned at the rear of the appliance's main body. Every time I finished using the vacuum, it would remind me to empty the dirty water tank and run a self-clean cycle. However, despite this mild annoyance, it is handy to have the reminder that the dirty water tank needs emptying and whether or not it needs charging. The appliance features a self-cleaning function that operates once the cleaner is placed on the charging platform and the battery is above 25%. You then need to step on the front of the pedal to the front of the base to start the clean. During this process, the brush roller and body pipe are cleaned, a task that typically takes about five minutes. The parts are then dried, and warm air is blown onto the charging base. It's a noisy process, and I monitored the sound level at 74 dB. You can also remove both the clean and dirty water tanks, including the filter, to clean them with water. The appliance comes with a brush to access all the nooks and crannies. Just ensure all parts are completely dry before replacing them. The cover on the roller can also be removed to access the roller, and it can be rotated to remove any debris or hair. The roller, which comes in two sections, can also be removed and cleaned by pulling a tab on the side of the longest section. There's no doubt that using a wet and dry cleaner will cut your cleaning time in half. You'll no longer need to vacuum first and then clean your hard floor with a mop. So, when it comes to saving time, it's a winner. It's also easy to assemble and all the parts can be removed, filled, emptied, and cleaned without any issues. And the appliance felt solid, without the worry of becoming damaged from unavoidable knocks and bumps. However, don't expect this cleaner to remove ground-in stains; they'll need a little extra boost or elbow grease to remove. But it did a great job at giving my floors what I call a 'regular clean' and they felt hygienic.
