* Design: We started by evaluating each flashlight's overall shape, size, and weight to determine how well they would work for different purposes, such as everyday carry, job sites, camping, and emergenc

Like most IKEA furniture, assembling the Micke 28" Desk is quite tedious. It comes in many pieces, so having an extra set of hands is extremely helpful. However, the durability, compact silhouette, and affordable $60 price tag outweigh the assembly. And after moving it into my new space and having it for two years, it’s a desk I still recommend to every

In our experience, it is the best option for those with animals (as its name implies) compared to other versions of the CX1 . Any vacuum that’s suitable for picking up pet hair and kibble is suitable for households without pets, too (my hot ta

The app was especially great for monitoring remaining cycle time, too, though we found that the remote start feature is not truly "remote," since the machine has to be turned on before you can activate anything in the app (which is counterintuiti

Stackable washer-and-dryer sets are one of the smartest ways to save space in small laundry areas, and our favorite model for the job is the LG Studio WashTower Stacked Laundry Center. It impressed us from the very first load; honestly, we had a hard time finding anything we didn't like about it. We'll even dare to say that we look forward to doing laundry

Nowadays, most vacuums (including all of the ones on our list) have a bagless design, meaning debris collects in a reusable dustbin rather than a disposable bag. This is more cost-effective, but often means that when you empty your dustbin, you're exposed to the debris you vacuumed

A reliable washer-and-dryer set can be the difference between a dreaded laundry day—full of seemingly endless loads, noisy machines, and still-damp clothes—and a seamless one. When it finally comes time to upgrade your set, deciding on a top-loading or front-loading washer should be first on your l

In addition to camping, I think this is a great lantern to have on hand at home for power outages, and the red light function makes it a great addition to your glovebox for reading maps at night since red light can protect your night vis

The IKEA Micke 28-inch Desk was one of my first purchases for my super small one-bedroom apartment. After spending so much on furnishing my first apartment, I needed an affordable yet durably constructed desk that was small Apartment interior design Game walkthrough|https://smallspacenest.com/-space-friendly, and that’s exactly what the IKEA Micke

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

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

The only downside about the Mr. Ironstone Bar Table is that there's no storage space like a traditional desk, so you may want to get some desktop organizers for your paperwork and office supplies. However, there's plenty of tabletop sp

It has two brush rolls, which agitate surfaces and lift up dirt and dust. Our testing gave us a front row seat as it picked up hair, crumbs, flecks of dirt, and even particles of dust from carpet and hard flooring alike. It takes some effort to control this vacuum, but that's to be expected given its size and po

We dropped this tool during testing, and it worked just fine with no noticeable reduction in accuracy afterward. It does take 90 seconds to reset after a drop (for the self-leveling to work again), but it seems quite resilient considering the low price and great featu

Effectiveness: We use each vacuum on hard flooring and high, medium, and low-pile carpet, challenging it with popcorn kernels, hair, potting soil, dried paprika. While testing, we note whether attachments are more (or less) effective, how many passes are needed to clean up the spills, and whether any hair gets tangled in the brush roll. (Hair tangling, in particular, helps us decide which vacuums are best for pet hai

Pets aside, the Bissell MultiClean Allergen Pet Rewind is a great all-around vacuum, and has the sort of strong suction power that pulled so much dust and dirt from deep within our carpets that it had had us questioning the efficiency of our previous vac

If your vehicle has coin slots in the center console, this flashlight has one characteristic that I think you’ll love—it’s exactly the same circumference as a stack of nickels. That means you can snap it into the nickel slot and have it ready for any emergencies that come up while you’re on the road. You can even snap it in with the magnetic base facing up, allowing you to attach the magnetic charger without removing the flashli
