Shark NV360 Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe Upright Vacuum

The Shark NV360 Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe Upright Vacuum earned the spot as the best overall upright vacuum after our testing. This top-performing vacuum wowed us with its ability to suction up debris from both medium- and high-pile carpet, as well as hard surfaces like tile and hardwood. It weighs about 16 pounds, but we found that we were able to maneuver it around furniture with ease and didn’t need to use the attachments as much as we thought we would need to. When we did use the crevice tool and upholstery brush, they both seamlessly picked up dirt and debris. For Amazon's Prime Big Deals Days, you can buy the vacuum for $70 off its original price.

Bissell CleanView Rewind Upright Vacuum

When testing the Bissell CleanView Rewind Upright Vacuum, we were impressed with how well it suctioned up debris from both medium- and high-pile rugs. The attachments, such as the crevice and pet TurboBrush tools, performed well when we tested them on upholstery. We also liked that it was one of the lightest upright vacuums we tested at just 16.5 pounds, so it was easy to lift and maneuver around furniture. While the vacuum is usually fairly affordable, the price tag is even more appealing for Prime Big Deal Days. 

KitchenAid Artisan Mini 3.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer

The KitchenAid Artisan Mini 3.5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer earned the spot as the best mini stand mixer after our testing. The 3.5-quart stand mixer performed just as well as larger stand mixers we tested while being more compact and lightweight. We found that it was the perfect size for single-batch recipes, and even when the mixer was kneading dough, the motor never overheated. The bowl and attachments are also dishwasher safe, making cleanup fast a

Black+Decker 20V Max Cordless Leaf Blower

At just 3.6 pounds, the Black+Decker 20V Max Cordless Leaf Blower earned the spot of the best lightweight leaf blower. Because of its light weight, we were able to use it with just one arm and didn’t experience any fatigue while using it. With an air speed of up to 130 miles per hour, it quickly blew off leaves and debris from concrete, making it the best leaf blower for a small porch or patio. We also appreciated that it was cordless, so we didn’t have to worry about the cord being long enough. 

Gerber Gear Dime Multitool

Multi-tools are useful tools to have on hand if you are an avid DIY-er or love to camp or hike. We tested over 30 different multi-tools, and the Gerber Gear Dime Multitool was one our favorites. The pocket-sized tool comes with 12 different functions including needle-nose pliers, tweezers, a knife, and a screwdriver. During testing, we appreciated that the individual tools were spring loaded, making them easy to release. The stainless steel construction also held up well and didn’t show any signs of damage, even after we dropped it from several feet. 

XGIMI MoGo 2 Portable Projector

An outdoor projector can help you create the perfect backyard movie night. The XGIMI MoGo 2 Portable Projector was one of the best outdoor projectors we tested, thanks to its small size and crystal clear sound. We were also impressed with the image quality, and we could clearly make out the picture when the projector was 10 to 12 feet away from the screen. It was a seamless process to connect to the WiFi, and we liked that it only weighed 2.6 pounds, which made it easy to move around. During October Prime Day, you can save $100 on the compact projector. 

Restmo Garden Hose Nozzle

During our testing, the Restmo Garden Hose Nozzle earned the spot of the best high pressure garden hose nozzle. This nozzle features seven different spray patterns: mist, jet, shower, flat, center, cone, and full. The jet pattern impressed us the most—it sprayed water up to 36 feet away, and it easily removed dirt and mud from outdoor items thanks to its high pressure. The ergonomic grip made it comfortable to hold, and after six months of using this nozzle, we didn’t notice any damage or leaking. Score this top-performing garden hose nozzle for 43% off ahead of Amazon’s early Black Friday sale. 

Tiki Brand Retreat Smokeless Fire Pit

There’s nothing quite like cozying up next to a fire pit as the weather starts to cool down. To find the best fire pits, we tested 18 different ones, and the Tiki Brand Retreat Smokeless Fire Pit was one of the top contenders. Thanks to its smokeless design, we loved being able to snuggle up close to it without worrying about smoke blowing on us. We also appreciated the handles on the side, which made it easy to move around. And because of its removable ash tray pan, it was simple and quick to clean. 

Shark HP102 Clean Sense Air Purifier

If you live in a smaller space like an apartment or townhouse, a small air purifier can help improve your indoor air quality without taking up too much space. We tested 60 different air purifiers to find the best ones for compact spaces, and Shark HP102 Clean Sense Air Purifier earned the spot of the best small air purifier to splurge on. During our testing, we were impressed that after just 30 minutes, the air quality significantly improved and we were no longer able to smell any signs of smoke or air freshener in the air. The air purifier also has a quick-read screen, making it easy to see how good or poor the air quality is at just a glance. 

Roborock S8+ Robot Vacuum

We tested 44 robot vacuums in our lab, and the Roborock S8+ Robot Vacuum was one of the top performers. It earned a perfect 5 out of 5 score for both its effectiveness and maneuverability and earned a near-perfect score for its noise level and features. On both tile and hardwood floors, the robot vacuum effortlessly picked up hair, dirt, and cereal. With scheduling and mapping capabilities, we were able to customize the vacuum to a specific floor layout with ease. The mop feature also flawlessly cleaned a sticky mess from tile floor, and we appreciated the self-emptying feature of the vacuum. And right now, you can save $200 on this multipurpose robot vacuum. 

Kenmore PM1005 Air Purifier

Another one of our favorite small air purifiers was the Kenmore PM1005 Air Purifier. This was one of the quietest air purifiers we tested, and when it was on the lowest setting, we could barely detect that it was even on. While some air purifiers we tested only seemed to purify the air immediately surrounding the device, this air purifier made a noticeable difference in the entire room. It was also easy to change the filter—we simply had to twist to unlock the canister and pull to remove the filter.

GE Tilt-Head Electric Stand Mixer

For those who love to make bread, the GE Tilt-Head Electric Stand Mixer aced our bread-making test in our testing lab. Unlike other stand mixers we tested, this one didn’t require us to scrape the ingredients off the inside of the bowl—the rotation was wide enough to mix in ingredients from the edge of the bowl. This mixer yielded a dough that was slightly sticky, yet elastic. With the sale coming up, you can score the high-performing mixer for 50% off. 

Lenox 815486 Portola 65-Piece Flatware Set

During our testing, the Lenox 815486 Portola 65-Piece Flatware Set earned a perfect 5 out of 5 score for its durability, design, and clean up. The 65-piece set includes 12 five-piece place settings as well as a serving spoon, sugar spoon, butter knife, and serving fork. Made with 18/10 stainless steel, the set is durably made and dishwasher safe for simple cleaning. When using the flatware set, we appreciated that the utensils were well balanced and easy to use. 

Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set

Bamboo sheets are ideal sheets for hot sleepers since they provide a cool and silky feel. The Cozy Earth Bamboo Sheet Set was one of the best bamboo sheet sets we tested because of its quality, texture, breathability, and durability. The sheets were luxurious and soft, and we liked that the embroidered logo elevated the high-end feel of the sheets. After washing the sheet set, the texture of the sheets remained the same, and there were no wrinkles or snags in the fabric. 

Cigman 3x360 Green Laser Level

To find the best laser levels, we tested 25 different ones, and the Cigman 3x360 Green Laser Level earned a perfect score for its performance, ease of use, durability, value, and accuracy. We loved that this laser level came with a mini tripod as well as a magnetic connector to help mount it to surfaces, and when we dropped it on the floor, it didn’t suffer a single scratch and still functioned flawlessly. It also has a P54 ingress protection rating, so it won’t be affected by water sprays or dust.

Omigo Element+ Bidet Attachment

The Omigo Element+ Bidet Attachment earned the top spot as the overall best bidet attachment after our testing. It only took about 10 minutes to install this bidet attachment, and we appreciated its simple design that was easy to use. There are only two knobs: one for the heat setting and one for the spray. We also liked that it didn’t look too obvious and blended in with the toilet. For those who have never used a bidet attachment before, this is a great starting point because of its affordable price point and user-friendly design.

Coop Sleep Goods The Eden Pillow

According to our testing, the Coop Sleep Goods The Eden Pillow is the overall best cooling pillow. Made with gel-infused memory foam, we found that this pillow kept us cool all night long, and we didn’t have to flip the pillow over during the night. It earned perfect scores for its breathability, support, durability, and comfort, and we appreciated that it’s machine washable. The fill is also adjustable, and we liked being able to remove or add fill based on our personal sleeping preferences.

Aiper Seagull 1000 Robotic Pool Cleaner

If you’re looking for a robotic pool cleaner, the Aiper Seagull 1000 Robotic Pool Cleaner impressed us during testing. This cordless pool cleaner only weighs 7.6 pounds and has a handle and retrieval hook, which made it easy to put in and remove from the water. It can run for an hour and a half on a single charge, and it takes about two and a half hours to fully charge. It picked up small debris seamlessly, and we found that it worked best in flat pools without any sloping. The budget-friendly pool cleaner is even more affordable for Prime’s Big Deal Days at 40% off the original price. 

Tramontina 12-Piece Tri-Ply Clad Stainless Steel Cookware Set

To find the best stainless steel cookware sets, we tested 28 different sets in our testing lab. After extensive testing, we found that the Tramontina 12-Piece Tri-Ply Clad Stainless Steel Cookware Set was one of the top contenders, and it earned the spot of easiest to clean on our list. Using just water and a spatula, we were able to remove stuck-on food messes from the pans, and we appreciated that the set is dishwasher safe to make cleaning even easier. We also liked that the cookware set heated up quickly and evenly, and it's oven safe up to 500°F. While the set is usually a bit of a splurge, it has a steep discount of 52% off during Prime’s Fall Prime Day. 

Krups Precision Coffee Grinder

For those who are new to grinding coffee, the Krups Precision Coffee Grinder is the best coffee grinder for beginners. During our testing, we appreciated the extensive user manual as well as the user-friendly design of the machine. The bean hopper can hold up to 8 ounces of coffee beans, and the removable container at the bottom can hold 30 to 32 ounces of coffee grinds. We also love that there are 12 different settings, so you can customize your coffee grinds to your personal preferences. 

iRobot Roomba 694 Robot Vacuum

We tested 44 robot vacuums, and the iRobot Roomba 694 Robot Vacuum was our top overall pick. During testing, this robot vacuum effortlessly picked up debris such as cereal and pet hair, and it seamlessly transitioned from hard flooring to carpet. The vacuum also has built-in sensors so it can easily navigate around obstacles like furniture or cords, and there is an accompanying app that allows you to customize settings for more efficient cleaning. For Prime Big Deal Days, you can save over $70 on this high-performing robot vacuum.
