Incoming calls on my landline ring on my iPhone and iPad, so I never have to jump up to answer the phone. At home, I usually have my iPad with me so I can answer on that. When I am out, I usually have my iPhone, so I can answer my home phone on that. The cell phone signal is marginal inside my house, so I simply make calls on my land line from my iPad." —Bob

Promising Review: “I bought this because it was low-profile and LED. My husband goes to sleep a couple of hours before I do, and our standard bedside lamp kept him awake. Because this is low-profile, it does not shine in his face. The three brightness choices are just bonuses. The dimmest setting provides more than enough light for me to move around the bedroom, letting our dogs in and out.” —Tinker

It's def not self-ironing clothes. But, for now, it’s as close as we are going to get.

Promising Review: “This iron is great! My arthritis would kick in after a short time of ironing with my old iron. But after using this iron for the first time, I was looking for something else to iron when I was done with my stack of clothes. Earlier in the week, I started ironing some fabric with the old iron I had before buying my Oliso one. I was unhappy with the results. However, once I used the Oliso iron on the same fabric, all the stubborn wrinkles disappeared with only one pass!” —MH3

Promising Review: “This can has a great design and operates smoothly. I love the square shape. It fits perfectly next to my fridge and actually seems to hold more than my former round can. The bags tuck away neatly and the motion-activated door works smoothly. I love it so far! I was tired of buying expensive garbage cans just to have the foot pedal break a few months in. A hands-free can is much better!” —SuziR

Promising Review: “This is very gentle. It's small enough to attack all the oily spots around your nose, between eyebrows, and other spots. I have very sensitive, dry skin, so I'm using this once a week only with a deep cleanser. If you have dry sensitive parts on your face, avoid those areas so it doesn't strip away the moisture and gets flaky. I bought the fuchsia one, and I'm loving the color. The size and case is perfect for traveling, as well." —Chie

Get it from Amazon for $41.65 (available in 7 colors).

Promising Review: “I added this to my Star Wars collection because it's a levitating Death Star after all, and the looks on my buddies' faces when they see it is worth every penny. The speaker is fine. And it’s pretty cool to power it up and let it stream my Star Wars playlist as it rotates away. Getting it to levitate can take some practice. But there's a plastic sleeve that helps guide it into place, and after a few tries you get the feel for it — and a steady hand and bit of patience definitely help. Overall, it’s a cool product that does what it says with a pretty impressive wow factor.” —World Traveler

Promising Review: “I definitely love this clock! We've had ours for five months without problems. I'm able to set the time and alarm times via the touch buttons on the front, below the time. You can also use the upper buttons, but don't have to for everything. The only thing you have to use the upper buttons for, in relation to setting alarms, is to turn an alarm off or on. For us, this isn't a daily event since we usually get up at the same times so no big deal. We live in the gray Seattle area, and the sunshine this thing brings us makes it the best alarm we've owned!” —Mariam G

Promising Review: “This is the coolest notebook ever. And I even tried — and can use — a hair dryer to erase pages because I don't own a microwave! The pens are really the magic part. I love the blue pens that came with my book, so I ordered a Pilot Frixion pens set with more colors! I’ve also tried the Rocketbook Everlast, which allows you to wipe the pages clean rather than heat them up. But I prefer the Wave because the pages feel more like real paper.” —Emma James

Get it from Amazon for $24.99.

Promising Review: “So far I’ve used this on 30 lbs. of bacon, 9 lbs. of pastrami, and 15 lbs. of pulled pork, with temp readings accurate. I am a bit paranoid, so temps were confirmed with an instant read thermometer. The cable length is nice, I’m currently running an electric smoker, keg grill, and kettle grill at the same time. So the six probes are my friend. The temp alarm feature is awesome, so I can sleep through the longer smokes without getting up every couple of hours to check temps.” —Amazon Customer

Promising Review: “About five days ago, I received my printer and I got the printer up and running in 45 minutes. Since then I’ve had this thing running about 16 hours per day. It is very easy to use, and I haven't had any issues so far. The support from Mr. Chang has been great. I asked him some questions about maintenance and ventilation and he got back to me within a day or so. I've been completely OBSESSED with 3D printing since buying this printer. I'm a working mechanical engineer. So, for me, its a way to mess around with designs at home for fun. Its nice to be able to download models online and print them immediately, or model some ideas of my own and prototype them quick. This printer is easy enough for the average, non-technical person to use. If you can handle Microsoft Word or Photoshop on a computer, you can handle this printer. The software they provide, FlashPrint, is very intuitive and the default settings tend to work great. The UI on the printer is also very simple. There are millions of models online that you can find to meet your application, so you don't need to learn 3D modeling. This is true for any printer, but just pointing it out.” —Mixmasta

We have made some legit steakhouse-quality ribeyes with this thing. Just season your steak, add butter and herbs to the bag, along with the steak, let the Anova do the cooking for you, and then take out the steak and sear in a cast-iron or non-stick pan!
