Now is the time to get that Dyson you've always wanted.
It will map your house, auto-empties, and wet-cleans as well as vacuums for extra cleaning oomph. The battery runs for two hours between charges, and it knows not only when to stop and recharge, but also how to get back to the charger. It's smart and efficient, like Rosie the Robot, but without all the sarcasm.
If you wanted to get all that functionality out of a Roomba-brand product you'd actually need to buy two: the Roomba i7 and the Bravaa Jet M6, which will set you back $950 in total.
Promising review: "This IHome AutoVac Nova is spectacular. It has completely changed my life. Messes are constant with three small kids and a large dog. This vacuum not only cleans the crumbs and fur, it collects the dust as well. I set a schedule and it does what it needs to. It works on hardwood, tile and carpet. The unit is smart enough to find it's charging station at the other end of my house when the battery is low. I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone with a busy lifestyle. In total it probably took 20-30 minutes to unbox and set up. I don't think I'll ever manually vacuum or mop again!" —Mamax37
Price: $299.99 (originally $599.99)
This product is *not* brand new, but it is half the price of a new one. A lot of people got it when they wanted a Dyson but didn't want to spend a whole bunch of money to do it. If you've ever craved of one of these beautifully-designed hard-sucking wonder-tools for yourself, now's the time to get your own.
It tilts down almost flat, the motorized part detaches from the stick for handheld use, and it comes with several useful tools.
Promising review: "Been impressed with the Dyson for years. Wanted to buy one for my kid's dorm, but they're pricey. This refurbished one is slightly scratched, but barely noticeable. Easy to assemble. Everything works fine. All attachments were included along with an automatic six-month warranty. That gives me piece of mind." —KimmerSemiColon
Price: $199.99 (originally $279.99)
They're hand-wash only, and in addition to colored handles they also come with rosewood handles and in a floral print that I think is just adorable.
Here's what's in the set: an 8" chef's knife, an 8" bread knife, a 5" utility knife, a 3.5" paring knife, six 4.5" steak knives, a pair of scissors, an 8" sharpening tool, and a 6" signature Nakiri knife. The branded knife block is also included.
Promising review: "I just love this knife set. Had my eyes on this particular one for a couple of years and finally decided to get it. Knives are nice and sharp and cut anything like butter — so smooth! It's enjoyable to cut food items now. Aesthetically beautiful, pleasing to the eye, and matches my many other PW items already had. Would recommend and also buy again." —PMR5
Price: $39 (originally $69.97, available in eight colors).
It's activated by a button and runs for 15 minutes before shutting off on it's own. It's powered by 3-AA batteries.
Promising review: "I got it for my cat but my dog won't let anyone play with it because it because she loves it so much. She rolls it around and has learned to push the button on and off. She spends (no lie) two to three hours with it. We have to take it away after an hour to give her a break. The batteries last a long time in them. I am so so happy I purchased this. I would by it again and again and again." —Tammy

If you're new to Instant Pots, welcome! It's basically a countertop device, with a metal pot and heating element inside, and a special lid that works with a computer to create or release pressure inside. It's kind of like if a pressure cooker and a crockpot had a very precious baby. When they say it's nine appliances in one, they're not kidding: it's a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, cake maker, egg cooker, and sauté-cooker, with sous vide capabilities and sterilizer capabilities.
Both the pot and the lid are dishwasher safe and easy to clean that way or by hand (I've done both; I hate hand-washing but it's really not bad). The handle on the top, locking lid, and detachable cord make it easy to travel with.
I have reassuring news in case you're leery because of how dangerous traditional pressure cookers can be: the Instant Pot has a number of features, including auto-lock and smart pressure regulation, to keep you safe. I have used mine several hundred times, without any issues whatsoever. You can't open it while it's pressurized, and if something goes haywire like it gets bumped or dropped, it stays locked and de-pressurizes until it's safe to open it back up. It's safer than using a stovetop, toaster oven, crockpot, or air fryer.
Promising review: "I became curious about Instant Pot after watching a lot of videos on how easy it is to cook with them. Then I finally stumbled onto this link. For the right price, I decided to buy it, and it's the best decision I've ever made. As soon as I got it, I used it and the food came out nicely. Cleaning is easy too!" —Pops
Price: $59 (originally $99)

The unfolded size is 38" by 69," which is just six inches shy of the length of a twin mattress.
Promising review: "This little couch bed is exactly what we needed for our game room. It can be used as a guest bed if needed. We don't really have an extra bedroom, so having a multiuse couch is very helpful. I love that the arms on and off so easily, and can be put out of the way when someone wants to sleep on it. It's pretty comfortable to lay in, too, as long as you don't lay right on the crack." —Shane
Price: $295 (originally $389.99, available in seven colors)
It's two feet wide and 16 inches tall without the lid; about two feet with the lid on. If you don't have a measuring tape handy, it's about the same as an extra large moving box from Home Depot, Uline, or U-Haul — just right for a cozy night out on the patio.
Promising review: "Great purchase! So pretty and stylish. My kid and I assembled it in about twenty mins. I love the cover with the mesh screens because it keeps flying sparks away from you and makes it safer. Simply remove the cover for marsh mellow roasting. Very light and easy to move. Very well worth the money." —Awesomepit

Dry heat is more comfortable than wet heat; that's science. Although removing moisture from the air doesn't change the temperature, it does let your natural cooling system work better by allowing more perspiration to evaporate, making ~you~ cooler using way less energy that it would take to run your A/C system.
This 50-pint capacity unit is the right size for between 800 and 1200 square feet depending on the baseline humidity; that's enough for an average two-bedroom apartment or a small house. The capacity is higher if hooked up to a drain.
This unit includes wheels so it is easy to move around.
Promising review: "Low energy usage; excellent moisture-elimination system; enables us to keep A/C settings higher than previous years. This appliance is a money saver for small areas' utility bills." —Rick H
Price: $250 (originally $396.53)
Make Hank Hill jealous with this two-speed battery-operated trimmer this summer. It's made by Hart, famous for rock-solid reliability.
String trimmers — also known as weed whackers or weed eaters — spin a special string really fast to trim stuff down. Bump feed models differ from their automatically-advancing counterparts because they advance the string with just a tap on the ground instead of on its own. You have to keep things moving yourself, but they're also simpler mechanically simpler and therefore easier to fix.
This one is battery operated, so it's not only quieter than a gas model, it also doesn't put off any toxic exhaust.
Promising review: "Using right side up or sideways, it's a great trimmer. Easy to use and move from up to sideway for trimming along the edge of the lawn with no debris flying in my face. Comes with everything you need to start trimming including the battery and the charger, instructions and easy to assemble. Great deal. Long enough handle for the taller people in our home too. Great little trimmer." —OR2020
Price: $98 (originally $158)
Promising review: "This unit is awesome. I got the large size because of having more than a few cats and I don't have to refill it every other day. The main reasons I got this model was because of capacity and how it has an open top. This is where they like to drink from. It is also super quiet." —John
Price: $23.99 (originally $25.99)
The four-stage filtration system captures and reduces up to 99.97% of particles in the air, including pollen, pollutants and other allergens; it also reduces volatile organic compounds and reduces odor. The pre-filter is washable. A pollution sensor uses colors to tell you how clean or dirty your air is, and it can run with three fan speeds set manually or according to the sensor readings. It also has a sleep timer and filter lifetime-indicator.
Promising review: "Very quiet. We use it in our office on automatic. It occasionally turns the speed up on its own when the air quality changes, which is awesome because we know it is helping us breath clean air. I researched a lot of models and am very happy to have selected this one. Highly recommend it." —Brandy
Price: $149 (originally $249.99, also available in in white)
It's got a timer, two hour auto-off so you don't burn-out the carafe, and a feature that lets you choose your brew strength. It's kind of like how coffee-makers used to be 20 years ago, with all the annoying stuff about them fixed.
The water reservoirs for the single-serve and 12-cup portions are separate.
Promising review: "Great product! Love the two-way brew. Really easy to use. Like the program timer, which makes mornings a little easier. The price was great for the quality. Would highly recommend. Also, not too big or bulky for my countertop. Exactly what I was looking for." —Nidia
Price: $39.88 (originally $59.98)
It has two big internal pocket, two zipping food containers, two collapsible bowls, mesh pockets on each side and inside the lid (with a zipper!), and a removable placemat for clean eatin'.
Promising review: "Holds lots of food, toys and cleanup supplies. Three bowls hold enough food for my two large dogs that eat two cups of food. Went camping for three days and had food to spare. Really nice!" —Carey
Price: $49.99 (originally $69.99)
You can use it shaving cream and gel, and in the shower, if you want. It's cordless and the blade-cover tilts off for easy cleaning when it gets clogged.
Promising reviews: "This is good for all types of hair. I use it on a soaped-up face, and it works well stopping razor bumps." —DrewP
Price: $89.95 (originally $129.99)
Promising review: "These were priced better than competition, and truly are a comfort worth checking out. They fit perfectly beside each other on the deck, recline to multiple comfortable (not fully flat) positions, and include the side caddy with two cupholders, making for the ultimate relaxation without leaving the comforts of home. For those who are concerned, rust does happen, if left outside in the elements, so be aware of that. However, the chairs are easy to clean, store, and maintain comfort." —Samachan
Price: $99.99 (originally $169.99, available in 13 colors)
This is as basic as air fryers get: just a temperature control and a timer. There's even a handy guide of temperatures and cooking times on the top of it! That's all you really need to get started air frying.
Promising review: May have found something to replace the oven. Love this." —Carrolyn
Price: $39.99 (originally $59.99)
The filter will last for 500 gallons and removes 99.999999% of bacteria and 99.999% of parasites and microplasitcs from You can use it with or without the 22-ounce bottle. Use it for hiking, emergency preparedness, or to always have a filter on hand in case you forget to bring water with you while you're on the go.
Promising review: "I've used this water bottle a couple times now and I have to say it's so convenient! It's collapsible so I usually leave it in my glovebox in case I forget a water bottle, and it saves me from using single use cups all the time! I also use it in bed because I know it won't spill if I toss it to the side! Has never leaked and can without a little bit of pressure. I usually use it without the filter because it's easier to tuck away and the filter is not usually needed. Happy I bought this, can't wait to travel with it!" —Kitty3876
Price: $19.97 (originally $34.94)
It attaches to the shower with a two-way converter so you can keep your shower head. If you have a Tushy: it's like the adaptor for that. It has three spray settings and you can toggle the shampoo on for soaping and off for rinsing.
Promising review: "We all know that 'you took your hands off me to grab shampoo — bolt!” dogs. This is the prefect solution. Preload the handheld was sprayer head and one handed switch between settings. Shampoo setting does get them clean. Easy hang up with the included hanger. It is a keeper." —Babymains
Price: $19.97 (originally $37.97)
It'll keep ice cold up to three days, the spigot is recessed and angled for easy pouring, the top is designed so it's ok to sit on it, and the plastic is UV resistant so you can keep it out in the sun all day with no worries.
Promising review: "We bought this to brine turkeys for our smoker. It is PERFECT! We just had an 18-pound turkey in it with no problem. We bought the brine bags also and we put two bags lining the cooler so we can still use the cooler for drinks if needed. We throw in some ice and the turkey stays cold for 12 to 20 hours until it's time to smoke it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Great cooler! Thank you." —Julie
Price: $19.97 (originally $25)
The set includes five .5-cup containers, four 1.25-cup containers, four two-cup containers, three three-cup containers, three five-cup containers, and seven-cup containers, plus lids for each. The set is top rack dishwasher-safe, and the bases can be put in the microwave without the tops.
Promising review: "These just arrived and I love them so far! They arrived with all the pieces, exactly as described. I love that this set has more large containers then all the other Rubbermaid sets I have seen. The color is great, the fact that the containers and lids stack and snap together makes our cabinet so much more organized! The lids are easy to put on but also seem secure. The containers seem a little bit thinner then my friends older Rubbermaid set but they still seem like solid quality! Compared to the price of other food storage sets, these are a great deal! Lids for the three large containers are interchangeable and so are the lids for two smaller containers." —kris10mcg8
Price: $19.98 (originally $24.99)
It's gluten-free, which probably doesn't matter for your pet, but does offer piece of mind to anyone with an issue, since if it gets on your hand it's pretty easy to get in your mouth, too.
Promising review: "Great price, I use it daily and it keeps my dog free of tear stains. Tearless and it smells great!" —AshuraLuv
Price: $8.79 (originally $10.99)
This one is comparable to the Dyson V8, but has some extra features like being able to stand on its own while charging or stored, and a self-cleaning brush roll. It runs for 40 minutes on a charge, has a powerful suction, self-ejects dirt from the dust reservoir, and the stick can be taken off for handheld use (like vacuuming your car).
Promising review: "I work at a mattress store and brought this vacuum because of its cordless ability, swervability and bendability. It is easy to get under the beds with its foldable option, and it is cordless so you can get around the whole store without having to unplug your vacuum. Great buy!" —Alissa
Promising review: "This has been an amazing vacuum in the short amount of time I've owned it. It's really great! Fold in half for storage and to charge! Pretty amazing! Makes me wanna vacuum more now that it is so easy and it's cordless! Super helpful!" —Sara
Price: $149 (originally $259)
