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

After testing dozens of pairs of slippers myself, I've learned that almost all slippers are comfortable. However, features like arch support, a cushioned footbed, or a rubber sole can make a big differe

After several rounds of testing, the Kenmore Elite Cordless Stick Vacuum is our favorite in this category, and not just because it weighs about the same as my two MacBook Pros (just six pounds!). This vacuum operates so quietly, and can actually bend in half to reach under furniture, so you don’t have

Marisa Viglione is an associate editorial director for The Spruce, with a focus on all things appliances, cleaning, organization, and home tech. She has personally developed and run our vacuum tests at The Lab —using and then rating cordless stick, upright, handheld, and canister mod

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 has a wonderfully deep and big barrel for all types of load sizes, and we were never worried about overstuffing it. That said, our only (minor) caveat is that the slightly deep lower drum may be hard to reach for some us

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

On the other hand, sheepskin, lambswool, or shearling materials, seen on our best slip-on pick , are great for providing warmth while preventing your feet from overheating. Uggs, including our best overall recommendation and our best indoor-outdoor slippers , feature a signature "Uggplush" fur that contours to your feet and keeps you w

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

This level doesn’t come with a tripod, but the magnetic mount works well. I recommend picking up a tripod like the Huepar 60-inch Indoor Tripod if you don’t already have one. It doesn’t have multiple beam modes either, but the always-on cross is useful for a huge variety of jobs and tasks around the ho

Slides : Slides are a great option for quickly putting on and taking off your slippers, and they mimic a classic athletic slide, like our best pick for arch support . Slide slippers aren't very warm, but you can often wear a pair of socks for extra war

If you or someone in your household has mobility-related disabilities or trouble bending over, try to consider a vacuum that’s lighter, easy to lift overhead, and does not require you to hold onto a power button continuously while clean

As someone who regularly works from home in a tiny NYC small apartment interior design game Guide|https://smallspacenest.com/ with cold floors, a good pair of slippers is a must. Luckily, after The Spruce team spent over 1,000 hours testing more than 70 top options from beloved brands like Ugg and Crocs, I’ve found some of the best availa

Our tester used this level for light-duty indoor tasks like hanging photos and aligning decor on our walls, and the durable design impressed us just as much as the accuracy and ease of use. When they dropped it during use, it showed no signs of damage at
