Upright vacuums offer the most suction power of any vacuum, making them a great option for cleaning carpets and rugs of all piles. Before cordless stick vacuums came into the picture, the upright vacuum was the fan-favorite vacuum cleaner because of its effectiveness, even though its build was (and still is) bulkier and heavier than other sty

Bonnie & Pop makes a perfect last-minute gift for a loved one who loves a gorgeous dried fruit spread (it's available on Amazon!). We love the fresh-tasting dried fruit combined with the saltiness of nuts and the sweetness of chocolate, all at such a great va

They're easy to clean, but light colors with light faux fur may get matted and dirty over time, like my prized yellow pair. Of course, this doesn't affect the shoe's comfort, but don’t expect a plush, fuzzy lining to envelop your entire foot with this p

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

We were worried that the thick sheep fur and shearling lining would feel too warm, but we still find ourselves wearing these for hours, with or without socks. Speaking of the lining, it feels like walking on a soft cloud all day long, and even after wearing these for around four hours per day for over a year now, the lining still feels plush and cloud-l

Along with stellar cleaning capabilities, the Miele CX1’s most notable feature is its self-clean function which cleans the canister of dust and keeps it in tip-top shape. The bagless design also means you won’t have to budget for replacement bags—a perk since, as noted, this vacuum is what we’d call an investm

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

Although the food items are the star of the show with Stonewall Kitchen, you’ll also find a few non-food items that enhance the overall experience of your gift. This particular gift basket comes with a tea towel and is packaged in a gorgeous basket that can easily be repurpo

It’s not your traditional office desk, but it has just the right amount of depth for a laptop and keyboard without spilling over into the rest of your Small Apartment Interior Design Game DLC|Https://smallspacenest.com/ living space. And the best part is, if you’re tired of sitting all day and need a good stretch, this table is tall enough to be a standing desk. Just keep in mind that, with a 40-inch height (the tallest of our picks), you will likely need a stool or a tall standing desk chair to sit comforta

These have a thinner footbed than other Uggs we've tested, so I recommend wearing them strictly indoors. Just be careful when wearing them because they don't have amazing traction on slippery surfaces. Therefore, these are ideal lounging slippers, rather than days you're on your feet doing housew

Without the adjustability, they may feel slightly heavy, but the hefty strap keeps them from slipping off while working from home or completing household tasks. We also love the adjustability for those going through a pregnancy or other periods of life when their foot size might fluctu

It's a very spacious dryer as well. It holds more than we'd typically wash in a load, so we think you could get away with not splitting large loads into two. The dryer also has a pet cycle, plus a steam sanitizer and steam refresh option. The latter two require a cold water hookup that we did not install, but it could be a helpful feature for s

They also lack traction at first, so be careful about slipping (especially when wearing them in a house with a toddler like these were!). But, after about a week of use, both of these problems were completely solved, and they felt sec

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

Still, if you have a washer with a capacity of 4.5 cubic feet, look for a dryer with at least 7 cubic feet of drying space. That will also provide enough room to dry larger items, like any queen- or king-sized comforters. And remember to always shake out your clothes first before drying—it's the secret to faster drying laund

Who can resist the delicious combination of coffee and donuts in the morning? This gift set comes with a bag of whole-bean coffee, six donuts to share, and a ceramic mug from the Chicago-based donut and coffee shop. I love that the coffee beans and mug can be enjoyed even after all the treats are gone, and act as a sweet reminder of the thoughtful g
