The Nightcore MT21C is our recommendation as the best overall rechargeable flashlight due to its strong performance during our tests and great feature set that includes an adjustable head, magnetic base, and bright light output. I also love that the batteries are replaceable, so you can charge up some extras to have on hand in an emergency. For a smaller option that’s easier to carry everywhere, the Nightcore Tini 2 is a surprisingly bright and lightweight flashlight that lives in my pocket with my k

Pets come with their own cleaning challenges, and not every vacuum is up to the task—although, we did find that a lot of our favorite picks are suitable for pet messes. Pet hair tends to stick to fabrics, can be fine, and can easily tangle in your rugs—not to mention, your vacuum’s brush roll. The Bissell MultiClean Allergen Pet Rewind is a corded upright vacuum that’s made for this sort of challenge, Smallspacenest.Com tho

Our tester used this laser level to arrange a 3-by-3 photo gallery wall indoors, and the results are impressive. That sort of task is difficult to get right without a tool like this, but it’s a breeze when the tool self-levels and provides both vertical and horizontal guideli

The Maytag Pet Pro Washer and Dryer Set is a must-have for pet owners tired of dealing with fur-covered laundry. It’s one of the only sets we’ve tested that truly removes pet hair instead of just redistributing it. After a single load, our clothes, towels, and blankets looked noticeably cleaner and fresher—no extra rinse or pre-drying nee

We think the best desk for small spaces is the IKEA Micke Desk , a classic piece with a small footprint and versatile design. We love the pared-down 28-inch Micke design, as well as the IKEA Micke Desk (41.3 inches) , which offers a bit more surface space and stor

Clogs : Similar to mules, clogs, like the Croc slippers , offer a completely closed-toe design with an open back, but clogs are often heavier. We love the Crocs because they have an optional strap to keep your slippers in place as you w

Her favorite pairs include the Croc slippers , which she owned and wore to the ground in middle school. The Nincefun House Slippers now live with her mom in New Jersey, who loves slipping them on after a busy work

Slides : Slides are a great option for quickly putting on and taking off your slippers, and they mimic a classic athletic slide, like our best pick for arch support . Slide slippers aren't very warm, but you can often wear a pair of socks for extra war

Of all the cycles that the washer has, we found the 15-minute fast-wash and the heavy-duty cycles to be most helpful for tackling a never-ending pile of laundry from a newborn baby. (The heavy-duty one, especially, was great at cleaning diapers with minimal staining with no odors left behi

Noise Output and Maintenance: When the washing machines are running, we listen to how loud they are, and consider whether the noise level is reasonable. For clothes dryers, we focus on noise level, available settings, and how quickly our items are dried. We also zero in on the lint trap and whether it's easy to clean

While the IKEA Micke Desk is larger than its 28-inch counterpart, it’s still on the compact side, but not too compact to where you feel like you’re missing desktop space. Overall, this is a great option for those looking for a traditional office desk with stor

She's been researching, vetting, and testing washers and dryers for four years and has used both top-loading and front-loading machines in her home. For this roundup, she relied on her firsthand experiences with our best top-loading pick and consulted testing insights from over 2,000 hours of hands-on testing we've completed for washers and dry

If you can’t decide between a pair of fuzzy socks and your favorite slippers, get the best of both worlds with Verloop's Quattro Knit Slippers. The sock-slipper hybrid slips on like a pair of socks and features a cushioned footbed with a plush fleece lining to keep your feet toa

Though it's not the washer with the largest capacity on our list at 5 cubic feet, it's spacious enough to fit king king-size mattress protector, a fluffy king-size blanket, sheets, and some clothes from our testing. Especially for a family with kids (where this washer was tested), this cuts down daily loads since it fits so m

When I was an automotive mechanic, I relied on a large Maglite with a powerful xenon bulb and heavy D-cell batteries, and a gooseneck penlite. But when brighter and lighter LED flashlights became available, I switched to rechargeable flashlights and never looked b
