Ancestral Quest genealogy software is built around data management rather than family tree charting. It connects to online databases to help with research and comes with above-average scrapbooking tools.

Review A good program for novices, if a little lacking in features. It's expensive too.

Review Legacy Family Tree 9 is a FamilySearch-certified genealogy software program that can integrate with online databases and genealogy services.

Brother’s Keeper does what genealogy software is supposed to do: It manages ancestral data, sources and media files, and puts the information into a visual chart.

Reunion 12 is exceptionally designed genealogy software with one of the best interfaces among the programs I tested. The data entry is efficient, and the charting capabilities are comprehensive.

Editor’s Note: Family Tree Heritage has made the jump from version 9 to version 15. We will post the new test results and review when we next test Genealogy Software.

Branches is family tree software made for beginners – sort of.

The Cobra RAD 450 is the most basic radar detector that I've reviewed, which is what you'd expect for an affordable radar detector that's around $100. You shouldn’t expect elite range.

The Cobra iRAD is exactly what you'd expect from an affordable radar detector under $150. It doesn’t have elite range. It doesn't have built-in GPS.

The Uniden DFR7 is listed as a super long-range radar detector.

Escort leads the radar detector industry as evidenced by our tests.

The Escort Max 360c is the most sophisticated radar detector that I've reviewed.

Review A great sounding boat speaker with a slightly silly name.

Review Balances power, audio, and price well. We love a good Polk.

Review Great low-end speakers, but lacking in audio quality and loudness.

Review We like the sound output here, but this speaker is too quiet overall.

Review An attractive speaker for boats, at a good price.

Review Polk speakers are some of the best for boats - here's why.

Review Not the top-rated boaty speakers, but they sure are loud.

Review Excellent speakers if you're looking to party on a boat.

Review Waterproof and ideal for boats, this is fully featured but a little underpowered.

Review Not the most efficient speaker, but it produces good audio and is highly durable for boat use.

LifeScan’s OneTouch Verio IQ is one of the most recognizable glucometers on the market.

In previous years, I’ve reviewed the FreeStyle Lite, which was the smallest glucometer on the market.

There are two versions of the TRUE METRIX glucometer – the basic version and the AIR, which has Bluetooth.
