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

For fabric softener, you can either wait to add the softener in during the rinse cycle, by pausing the cycle and opening the lid, or you can consider an alternative route to softening your clothes like using dryer sheets or wool dryer balls during the dryer cycle inst

I grew up helping my carpenter grandpa work with bubble levels and plumb bobs, and those memories really make me appreciate self-leveling laser levels. Laser levels are already a huge time saver compared to those older methods (and don’t require the same level of expertise), but self-leveling takes all the guesswork out of the proc

As a red laser, this model works best indoors, and it has a lower range in bright light (like outdoors). Even then, it’s visible for about 50 feet, though, and with an optional receiver unit, it goes much further—up to 165 feet. Some of our other recommendations can go further than that with a receiver, but they’re much shorter range right out of the

A well-designed desk needs to combine functionality with aesthetics. Whether you prefer a traditional design or something more unique, there is an excellent selection of small desks available to suit every type of decor sch

Along with the lightweight design (just 2.2 pounds) and overall convenience, it has a handy wall charger that makes it easy to store and stay charged (we did find that the setup needs to be precise however, so that the cord can reach the proper port in the vacu

Accuracy: Each laser level was checked for accuracy on horizontal, vertical, and cross-lines at various distances. We noted how quickly and accurately the laser hit the target and whether the tool leveled itself if necess

Upon arrival, the box contained tons of information about the carefully sourced ingredients inside, which I love. While the items were not damaged inside, I wish they had included one more ice pack to keep the contents as cold as possible, especially during the sum

In comparison to other stick vacuums we’ve tested, this model evenly distributes its weight. Since it's cordless, you're also free to roam for up to 40 minutes—less if you use the vacuum on max mode versus its eco mode. (It does sometimes feel like the battery dies quicker than we'd li

One thing to note: Upon delivery, we found there were no labels on the box indicating perishable items were inside. Also, you might notice that the variety of pears can vary. This is just to ensure the brand provides the freshest option possible based on what's available when you or

Callie’s Hot Little Biscuit makes it easy to throw a perfect brunch with their thoughtfully curated biscuit gift sets. Aptly named, the Share the Love Gift Basket comes with six scrumptious buttermilk biscuits, six cinnamon biscuits, six savory cheese and chive biscuits, and pimento che

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

I’d define a lightweight vacuum as anything weighing less than 15 pounds, ideally 10 pounds. Most upright and canister vacuums don’t meet this requirement, but stick vacuums and smaller iterations (like handheld vacuums) absolutely can—and provide other elements that make them easier to navigate on carpet, hard floors, and m

Even after wearing these for years, we are constantly surprised by the support they provide every time we slip them on. The fur has matted down a bit, but this does not take away from the comfort of these slippers at all. If the matting bothers you, we suggest getting a darker color so it's less visi

As someone who's only worked remotely and has lived in one-bedroom apartments, I know the struggle of optimizing a small space. I also know how it feels for your home office to share the same space as your living room or bedroom. It's all about finding the right-sized furniture, and in particular, a desk that's Small Apartment Interior Design Game furniture|https://smallspacenest.com/-space frien

For a hard-sole slipper you can wear when lounging on the couch, walking the dog, or even running errands, we love the Ugg Tasman Slipper , our pick for the best slippers. For slippers under $50, opt for the NineCeFun Women's Slip-On Fuzzy House Slippers . One of the softest slippers we tested, these faux-fur house shoes slide on with e

Typical top-loaders with a tall agitator are said to shorten the longevity of garments. Notably, some washing machines, like our best top-loading pick and our best for large families pick have a removable central agitator. That way, you can get the best of both wor
