We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A smart thermostat because those scorching summer temps are here, and you've got to stay cool — literally and figuratively. Instead of fidgeting around with the thermostat (and likely making your dad angry), this utopian piece picks up on your cues and programs itself!
2. A cordless electric lawn mower that'll make mowing the lawn as easy as drinking an ice-cold lemonade on a hot summer's day. You now have three different blades at your disposal, meaning you can control just how much you want to take off the top (of your lawn).
3. A cordless impact driver so you can meet your new BFF come home renovation time. With a bit more horsepower than an average drill, an impact driver scoffs at being unable to drill, screw, or install anything within a 100-mile radius.
4. A brushed gold light fixture to add the perfect amount of contemporary flair combined with unfailing functionality. The multiple layers and golden auras will make the room pop, but the six different lights will truly make your home shine.
5. An electric smoker to get that perfectly tender and succulent barbecue that you thought only old-timey barbecue joints could achieve. Smoking culture is all the rage (sorry, kombucha brewers) since it is the perfect example of low-risk, high-reward cooking.
6. A cordless electric leaf blower that'll declutter your front lawn without making you feel like you're doing bicep curls for hours on end. Instead, sport something light and efficient – while also not waking up the neighbor, old man Jenkins.
7. A six-spray dual shower head to turn your one-dimensional, meh showers into the feeling of bathing under a waterfall. It's a simple formula: swap low pressure for high pressure and utilize the included high-pressure massager.
8. A smarthome speaker that'll jumpstart you to the year 2052 by having every amenity controlled in a centralized location. You can do everything from playing music to seeing who is at your door with the simple touch of a screen.
9. A 216-piece tool set because you are in charge of putting the "efficient" in "super-duper-efficient tool set." Aside from the polished look, you can enjoy three stackable drawers and an included ratchet and wrenches set perfect for the novice, intermediate, or home project aficionado.
10. A pressure washer so you can keep your home, decks, lawn, and pool (drain first, please) living their best lives. And when you're done gazing at those mesmerizing before-and-after pressure washer videos on YouTube, simply store this cleaning prodigy in the garage (which can also be pressure washed, of course).
11. A smart smoke and carbon monoxide detector alarm because there is no better investment than protecting you and your loved ones from invisible fumes. Does everything need to be smart-ilized these days? No, but a detector that will tell you what is in the air, where it's coming from, and how quickly, is a welcomed piece of modern technology.
12. A built-in three-level dishwasher that'll withstand the greasy tomato sauce, burnt crystalized sugar, and literally anything else put in its path. Get ready to enter the upper echelons of living because this smooth machine is engineered to prevent buildup yet is so ridiculously quiet that you won't realize it's actually washing.
13. An auto-tilt patio umbrella to help put those family barbecues, quick lunches, or Zoom meetings on top of your summer itinerary. And feel free to venture outside in the middle of the day as this humongous umbrella is layered with UV-protected material.
14. A French door refrigerator because it's time to tackle that big kitchen renovation project with a fridge that will serve your every need. It's worth hauling your old one to the curb when you can have one from the next generation made of stain-resistant stainless steel and can adjust the shelves that will accommodate those pesky heads of lettuce.
15. A full-view aluminum door that'll miraculously look amazing *and* protect you from any nasty storms heading your way. You can now have earthy wooden finishes mixed with deadbolt-protected strength to guard against fast winds.
16. A set of waterproof wood flooring because it's time to swap out that dirty carpet and start dazzling your guests, housemates, and yourself, with impressive wood flooring. Water is wood's natural enemy, and even those spills add up, but with a waterproof layer, there is no need to cry when milk spills onto your striking new floor.
17. A heavy-duty steel utility shelf to serve as the ultimate bulwark against endless garage disorganization. With a 1,500-pound limit, even the heaviest wrenches or bulkiest Halloween decorations will be of little burden.
18. A Ring doorbell so you can be on the lookout for anyone knocking on your door without having to actually answer the door. Don't live with the dreadful anxiety of wondering if your package will be home when you return — you can literally have an app tell you when any motion is detected.
19. An indoor cycling bike because it's too dang hot to take the bike out for a spin. Instead, enjoy the AC sans mosquitoes while pumping up the cardio on a bike compatible with your favorite exercise apps.
20. A portable air conditioner to never be without those cool breezes this summer. A portable AC is perfect for the apartments that do not have centralized AC or extra cooling for the blazing Southwestern states, or if the stuff of horror movies happens and your AC breaks.
21. A pull-down kitchen faucet that'll look so nice in the kitchen you may start looking forward to doing the dishes. Note that I said may. Regardless, the curved feature adds a subtle oomph to the home that is also spot-resistant, if I might add.
22. A set of two indoor portable speakers so you have profound sound that is every bit as powerful as it is minimal on the shelf. Ditch those chunky speakers from the '90s and witness crisp sound while working, meditating, or heck, even practicing your karate moves.
23. A set of clamps because you can have the newest, gnarliest tools in the shed, but all will prove futile without having some simple clamps. Literally secure your sheet metal or wood to a couple of clamps and witness perfect cuts every time. Plus, for all you Futurama fans out there, CLAMPS!
24. A triple-function grill because it's summer, and anything that can be grilled, will be grilled (I'm looking at you, lettuce and watermelon). I bet you didn't think a grill could be Wi-Fi connected, so you can grill on the go and have the perfect pulled pork or corn on the cob waiting for you.
25. A variable speed jigsaw so you can have some fun doing free-form cuts at high quality. With limited tools, a jigsaw acts as a one-size-cuts-all that will help you out every time.
26. A high-efficiency washer and dryer set because it's time to get serious and enjoy the tranquility that is "laundry day." Aside from the clean, neutral aesthetic, you can now have two laundry components that hold a ton of stinky clothes and can dry without wrinkling your clothes.
27. A Bluetooth-compatible bathroom fan that'll provide you with lighting, music for those especially long, steamy showers, and a silent fan that doesn't feel like the walls are caving in. Simply install in the ceiling and your bathroom game will be elevated 10 times over.
