"   The May issue of Good Housekeeping is just hitting newsstands and, as always, the issue is packed with product test results. Given that spring allergies are in the air, the textile pros at the Good Housekeeping Research Institute tested tissues that claim to be super soft to see which live up to their promises. Our experts identified Kleenex Ultra Soft ($1.99 for 75-count) as the best non-lotion option and Kleenex Lotion Aloe &amp;amp;amp; E ($1.00 for 75-count) as the best lotioned choice. You can be sure we tested on lots of equipment\u2014for absorbency, wet and dry breaking strength, thickness, and bursting strength\u2014and had consumer testers weigh in on which they found softest. We also recommend Puffs Ultra as another great non-lotioned choice. Priced at $2.34 for 124-count, they cost two cents a piece\u2014offering good value. I&amp;#039;m sure you&amp;#039;ve noticed the proliferation of nail polish options. We certainly have. After screening 40 nail polishes, the Beauty Lab sent out the 10 top contenders to 20 women to get their input. We asked them how long the polish lasted, if it chipped, how easy it was to apply and remove, and if it maintained its gloss over time. The winner: Essie ($8). If you check out the May issue, you&amp;#039;ll also find out about some of the other brands that shined in our test. (By the way, it was interesting to note that pale shades dried, on average, two minutes faster than red polishes. Good to know if you&amp;#039;re in a rush!) As we move toward summer and edge into hotter weather, it&amp;#039;s more important than ever to make sure your fridge is chilling well and keeping food safe. Sharon Franke, Director of our Kitchen Appliances Lab, oversaw evaluations of 12 French Door Refrigerators. To simulate hot summer days, she tested each model in our climatology chamber at both typical household conditions and with controls set to 90 degrees Fahrenheit and 90% humidity. The top fridge (at a great price\u2014$1,999): Haier&amp;#039;s Cabinet Depth Refrigerator. Some of its great features: two manually-controlled crispers, a door alarm that alerts you when the door has been left open, an energy saver button, express chill and freeze settings, and LED lights for good visibility. Whether you&amp;#039;re looking at Good Housekeeping&amp;#039;s reviews or shopping in the store for refrigerators, always be sure the model you buy is Energy Star rated. At GHRI, we have a separate room just for testing vacuum cleaners. This month we reveal the results of our Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner test. We evaluated 15 full-size vacuums weighing 16 pounds or less. We tested for embedded dirt pick-up from plush carpeting, litter pick up, air power, sound, tipping, electrical usage, and ease of use. Consumer testers rated maneuverability, control buttons and weight. Our winner: The Oreck Magnesium RS ($499.99). For our new This Works! magazine column, we tested cellphone cases that have a double function. In looking at 19 phone cases that also work as either wallets, card cases, kickstands, and battery boosters, we evaluated their size, weight, durability, and ease of use. Our top pick: CM4&amp;#039;s Q Card Case ($39.99). Be sure to check out our May issue and find out about other products that wowed us! "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
