Every washing machine relies on some form of agitation to clean clothes and loosen dirt. When you peek inside a washer, you’ll typically find a central agitator, impeller plate, or neither in the case of a front-loading was

We researched slippers from reputable brands while still looking for options that accommodated all budgets and needs. We then ordered nearly 80 pairs of slippers and distributed them to testers with varied sizes and style preferences—I tested about 20 of those pairs mys

Because your clothes are about to get washed and whirled inside of a machine, you'll want to be sure that nothing will snag the fabric of your favorite blouse. Stainless steel drums are always considered the smoothest and most durable choice for washing machine dr

The Black+Decker BDL220S is ideal for basic projects like hanging picture frames and mirrors, and slightly more advanced endeavors like angled picture installations over a staircase. It’s our favorite rotary laser level because it’s easy to operate, works fast, and the laser stretches from wall to wall when working on indoor proje

Once heated up, the soup is delicious. Some flavors need a bit of diluting with water or a few extra spices, but as someone who loves having soup in my freezer at all times as an easy meal, this is a very welcome g

While temperatures are mild where Jeremy tested these slippers in Florida, he still loved wearing them around his house when working or playing with his new rescue puppy. He has wide feet and appreciates the fit of these slippers, which only got more comfortable over t

While we only tested the washer, it is available in a set with a compatible dryer. It has ample smart features as well including sensor dry, which monitors the temperature and moisture-level in your dryer to avoid over-drying and a wrinkle guard that continually tumbles your clothes without h

This Insignia top-loading washer has a 3.7-cubic-foot capacity and a stainless steel drum, which will prevent snags, won’t wear over time, and isn't common for more budget-friendly machines, but is common on our list. It also features a central agita

I've been wearing the fur-lined Crocs since middle school and love them just as much now as I did back then. The lined clogs have the same shape as traditional Crocs, but have a faux-fur lining to keep your feet w

For the perfect slipper that seamlessly transitions from indoor to outdoor wear, look at the beloved Tasman slipper from Ugg. The fashionable slippers have a suede construction lined with soft sheepskin and upcycled wool to keep your feet warm without causing overheating, which I love for day-long wear. They are my go-to slippers even after years of owning t

This is the most flexible laser level we’ve tested, with multiple lasers and modes that let you choose between vertical, horizontal, cross, 360, and even dots. It’s the only level we recommend that can project dots, which are useful in less DIY projects, helpful hints but a nice bonus to have just in c

The basket even includes instructions on how to properly store and preserve the treats once opened, in case you don't finish their delicious selections in one sitting. After I followed the instructions, the treats tasted just as delicious a few days or weeks la

I'm on the record saying that front-load washing machines can be a pain to keep clean. However, this washer-dryer set from LG is a high-capacity duo that's a game-changer for never-ending laundry piles and hard not to recommend, especially if you're looking for a front-loading

For occasional use and basic projects, this Hychika laser level has a lot of the features I look for (including self-leveling) with a price that’s about half as much as our overall best pick. It isn’t as accurate as more expensive options, but it’s good enough for hanging pictures and other common ta

The levels we recommend all met or exceeded manufacturer claims during our testing. For example, our best rechargeable pick showed less than 1/9-inch deviation up to 85 feet (the manufacturer promises accuracy within 1/9-inch at 33 feet, and we didn’t see much deviation at all when measuring at that distan

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

It also gets clothes cleaner than older models ever did—something we didn’t fully appreciate until seeing (and smelling) the difference. We even convinced several other family members to purchase the same set, and they love it just as m
