Never one to shy from getting her hands dirty, you might find Julia doing her own testing on products such as varied as fire extinguishers, lunch coolers, and wireless headphones. But the testing she's most proud of is smart thermostats, as she managed to not break Reviewed's extensive (and expensive) air conditioning/heating system.
