"  For the March 2013 issue of Good Housekeeping, the Good Housekeeping Research Institute&amp;#039;s experts tested 111 products in six categories: slow cookers, juicers, eye make-up removers, fabric pill removers, electronic fitness trackers, and bookshelf speakers. Below, I have highlighted our top picks from each category, but be sure to check out the March issue on the newsstand now so you can see our other recommendations. Slow Cookers. We know our readers love slow cookers, so Sharon Franke, our Kitchen Appliances and Technology Director, and her team spent 589 hours testing 18 slow cookers, monitoring food temperatures inside the devices, tasting soups and stews, and determining the best product. The Ninja Cooking System ($200) performed better than any other slow cooker. The versatile device has settings for baking, browning, and roasting meat. Our experts found that it roasts with a range of 250 degrees to 425 degrees and with the quality of an oven. With the Ninja comes an easily cleaned non-stick insert and a cookbook of 75 recipes. Best of all, it yielded an unrivaled beef stew. Juicers. After juicing more than 100 pounds of fruit and vegetables on 24 machines, our experts deemed the Breville Juice Fountain Elite ($300) the best juicer. The Breville earned high marks for its weight (heavy\u2014better for anchoring the juicer to the countertop) and for its wide feed chute, big enough for a small apple. The juicer works at two speeds, low (for soft fruits) and high (for hard). A pitcher collects juice ejected by the Breville, making for easy drinking and storage. Its sleek steel and cool black design make the Juice Fountain Elite a pleasant sight on the countertop.  Eye Make-up Removers. Testing started after our experts narrowed 48 eye make-up removers down to 12. That dozen was reduced, via laboratory and consumer evaluation, to one product: Neutrogena Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover ($6). What made Neutrogena&amp;#039;s eye make-up remover better than the competition was its ability to completely and comfortably remove even the trickiest mascara\u2014without greasy residue, with a fresh scent. Fabric Pill Removers. Of the 18 fabric pill removers tested, the top performer, Evercare&amp;#039;s Small Fabric Shaver, was one of the tiniest. Its small size makes the Evercare rest snugly in the hand, and also a practical option for traveling. In our testing, the Evercare cleanly dispatched the broken, fuzzy fibers\u2014known as pills\u2014on knitwear and similar fabrics. Included with the purchase of an $8 Evercare: a brush for cleaning the product&amp;#039;s head. Electronic Health Trackers. The Fitbit One ($100) emerged, after testers had worn health monitors through workout routines and our experts computed results, as the best electronic health tracker. It was easy to use and effective. Versatile, the Fitbit One links to phones and computers, and so does a Wi-Fi enabled smart scale, a device (purchased separately) that adds to the data gathered by the Fitbit One the user&amp;#039;s changing weight. Graphs and charts showcase health metrics such as blood glucose and blood pressure. Meals can be logged and sleep can be monitored. The Fitbit One is the total health-monitoring device.  Bookshelf Speakers. Though steep in price at $350, the Bose Soundlink Air is an investment sure to reward the music lover. Our engineers analyzed more than 800 minutes of music on a total of 29 sound systems, and the Soundlink Air had the best-sounding speakers, and by far. The Soundlink Air can cleanly hit 97 decibels, as loud as a lawn mower, without a detectable sonic disturbance. Music plays with a &amp;quot;great, full sound&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;crisp bass.&amp;quot; Tunes can be wirelessly streamed from a smartphone to the sound system, and you can use apps and check messages while listening.
