Portability: We also evaluate the vacuum's weight and portability, and how well it can transition from smooth floors to carpeting. Some vacuums are lightweight, but top-heavy. Others are bulky, so they're hard to st

The Spruce has tested over 350 vacuums (so far), in our offices and our editors' homes, from top-rated brands like Shark, Dyson, Bissell, Hoover, Levoit, Tineco, Kenmore, and more. We've seen that there are multiple vacuums out there that'll clean your floors well and easily survive routine bumps into table legs and baseboards. These six simply check off every box I look

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

As someone who lives in a relatively Small Apartment Interior Design Game Updates|Https://Smallspacenest.Com/ apartment, you have to be strategic in where you place your furniture, especially if it requires a power source and needs to be by a wall outlet. However, this wall-mounted desk is designed with USB charging ports, so you’re not restricted on where you place

Unlike cross-line laser levels (and other line levels), this rotary level works by attaching it to your wall with a detachable base. The base is held in place by a flip-out tack, so using it puts a tiny hole in your wall (similar to hanging a picture frame). But it’s nice that there’s no need for a tripod or any other hardw

One thing I really like about this flashlight is the built in stand, which is great for hands-free operation. If you’re working on a project and need both of your hands, the stand flips out and pivots so you can point the light right where it needs to be and then set it d

If you’re someone like me with an open-concept kitchen or living room, this is the perfect desk. It’s not bulky but instead sleek, compact, and minimal. Plus, it has a small width of 28.75 inches, which is ideal for those working with little floor sp

To date, we've tested over 30 washers and dryers. Our most recent washer-and-dryer test included over 60 loads of laundry, and we've tested top models for over 2,000 hours to find the best ones, judging them based on the following crite

In our experience covering both vacuums and sale events , vacuums actually go on sale very, very regularly. More high-tech or feature-packed models may only go on sale a few times per year, during major events like Black Friday and Amazon's Prime Day events. However, you can find a selection on sale during the major holiday weekends and sale events. These vacuums will usually be between 15 and 60 percent

The dryer is very efficient and gets all the clothes dry in one cycle, and the dryer handles large loads great; we actually think it's impressive how much each holds. Not to mention, throw rugs are coming out whiter than ever, and our black pants are free of any soap scum or water ma

It’s hard to know where to begin with the number of features loaded into these Whirlpool machines, but they all have been truly handy, especially the Load & Go dispenser that stores weeks' worth of detergent inside the machine and automatically dispenses it based on the weight of your wash load. For a large family who does five to 10 loads per week, this is a massive game-chan

I love that this 12-pack lasted two people for about two weeks, so they’re great for gifting to a couple or a small family who wants to enjoy them quickly. The playful black raspberry flavor isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but it offers a unique twist for those who love fruity ice cr

Whether you prefer a modern and sleek modular wall desk or a cute secretary desk that you can close shut after a busy work day, we’ve included a variety of desk styles to fit every home space and aesthe

This level has a durable outer molding that holds up to drops, and it has an IP 54 rating (so it’s safe to use around dust and debris, but not as protected against rain as our best outdoor pick). That makes it a good pick for indoor projects where there’s a lot of sawdust or other particles in the

Our editor has lugged this desk between two tiny New York apartments in a span of three years, and it’s still in great shape despite a few minor scuffs (which is expected for particleboard). It’s a sturdy and sleek option with plenty of storage space to hold all our makeup and other odds and ends without taking up too much sp

We curated a list of our editors' favorite desks that are also ultra-compact, narrow, and multi-functional. In addition to the few Spruce-approved picks that we have hands-on experience with, we included some researched options in various styles to suit individual ne
