"   Have big plans for the summer? You&amp;#039;ll want to check out the top products in our July issue\u2014all of which will make a busy summer a bit easier. We tested 61 products in three categories. Here are the three items that scored best in the Good Housekeeping Research Institute&amp;#039;s tests for this month. If you&amp;#039;re hoping to upgrade the look of your house, consider choosing a two-in-one paint and primer for interior jobs. Benjamin Moore Aura ($67.99) was the best of the 14 paint and primers we analyzed. It had, in the words of our engineers, a &amp;quot;near-perfect texture&amp;quot; after just one coat. Additionally, when painted on and left to dry Aura it offered complete coverage of both black and white surfaces. Most importantly, Aura was rated the best looking of all the paint and primers we tested. Gardening? You&amp;#039;ll need a trusty pair of shears. We tested 12 for ergonomics, safety, and ability to cut through branches. Fiskars PowerGear Bypass Pruner 8736 ($24.99) scored well in both consumer and lab testing, thanks to its unique rolling gears that allow for easy, cramp-free snipping. Worried about safety? The shears have a simple lock. These durable, lightweight shears make snipping tricky branches a snap. After painting and gardening, you&amp;#039;ll probably want to cool off with a drink. Breville&amp;#039;s Hemisphere Control ($200) was, of the 35 blenders we tested, our top pick for making delicious smoothies and margaritas. The Breville is rich in features: an LCD timer, five variable speeds, a control pad with lighted buttons, ice crushing and smoothie settings, and so on. All of its parts are dishwasher safe, and the blender makes relatively little noise while it&amp;#039;s whirring on the countertop. An owner&amp;#039;s manual with helpful recipes, tips, and charts comes with the blender\u2014great for perfecting those cool drinks. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
