The cool thing about this desk type is that it folds down into a workstation, but this one specifically is designed with shelving for extra storage space and a chalkboard if you need to jot down meeting notes, your to-do list, or your kiddo’s math equations. However, we do know the chalkboard may not fit everyone’s aesthe

We nudged our team for their favorite desks and curated a list of ultra-compact, durable, aesthetically pleasing options that don’t take up too much floor space. Whether you prefer a traditional desk with lots of storage or one you can fold away at the end of a workday, we’ve got you cove

Everyone needs to hang picture frames, art, and other wall decor from time to time, and that’s a task that every one of our favorite laser levels excels at. We also checked staircase slopes, surface levelness, aligned shelves and furniture, and checked accuracy compared to standard bubble lev

The self-leveling resets when it’s bumped, but it does so without needing any input or manual adjustment. We also dropped it during testing, and it showed no signs of damage or decreased accuracy (it still self-levels without fa

It's very possible that you're here because you need a tiny vacuum that can quickly suction up the sand from the beach in your car or the dust collecting on your baseboards. The Dirt Devil Whole Home Handheld Vacuum is more than up to the task; it has the fastest and most effective suction we've seen from a handheld mach

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

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

The vacuum has a slight tendency to feel unwieldy on slick or smooth floors like hardwood, but the swivel steering helps you stay in control. We also love the LED lights on the head of the vacuum, a common but not guaranteed feature that helps you spot fur and fuzz in your path. (Notably, our top pick also has these ligh

One of the best perks of ordering from Goldbelly is the chance to experience cuisine from another city in the US that you can't find in your hometown. We recently ordered this box from Eli Zabar’s in New York City, which is filled to the brim with Jewish deli staples, including rye bread, babka, bagels, pastrami, cream cheese, lox, coffee, and m

For this roundup on the best vacuums, she consulted our firsthand testing insights. She has also researched the latest and greatest features of vacuums since 2020, and uses all of her expert-level knowledge and findings to create and regularly update this list of the very best vacu

When selecting a laser level, it’s important to consider accuracy. Basic DIY projects like hanging some curtains or artwork don’t require the highest level of accuracy, but more complicated projects like installing a wall won’t come out right if your level isn’t accur

Effectiveness: linked resource site 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

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

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

Some hair will wrap around the filter, but you can easily pop the dustbin out of the cleaning machine when it's full, and twist the filter out to remove any tangles with your hands. (Or, I like to use a wooden appetizer skewer to help remove the tangles; the skewer is always strong enough for the j

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
