If you find yourself in hotels or at campsites more often than you’d like, there’s nothing better than the 1ZPresso K-Ultra for specialty coffee while traveling.

Plaud NotePin is pretty expensive when you take the subscription fee into account, but it’s darn good at what it does: transcribing classes, meetings, and ideas.

I threw everything at the Magimix Blender Power 4 and it turned it all into delicious smoothies and butters. I just wish the blades were easier to remove.

I can’t quite believe this blender is so cheap… I had to check the price multiple times. The Ninja Detect Power Pro with BlendSense performs like a $500+ model.

I’m not the biggest fan of admitting when I’m wrong, but I was so very mistaken about French press. The Espro P7 makes French press taste like heaven.

I can’t quite believe this mic is so cheap. The sound quality is comparable to a $200 option. There’s very little wrong with this mic, especially for so little money.

These earbuds are full of treble and mids. However, it’s a double-edged sword: bassheads will be majorly disappointed.

This is one of the best home espresso machines to replicate that true cafe taste. Three boilers and a mega-powerful steam wand combine to make perfect coffee.

The Laifen Wave toothbrush does its one job well (clean teeth), but its overly excited swinging head also hurt my gums during testing.

I don’t know how I lived without the Subminimal Nanofoamer Pro before today. The milk foamer makes velvety microfoam and even iced matcha lattes in minutes.

If my air fryer can’t multitask, I don’t want it. Cuisinart’s Air Fryer + Toaster Oven combo can do 7 things in 1, and it’s also a massive steal.

Sennheiser Profile Wireless is a 2-channel wireless mic with USB-C, lightning, and TRS connectivity. The sound quality is just fine, but it’s super versatile.

The Soundcore Boom 2 Plus speaker packs a bassy punch, and has custom EQ so you can ramp up the woofers even louder.

The EarFun Wave Life headphones are not good. During testing, I was longing for the sweet release of silence.

The Dreame H12 Pro wet and dry vacuum cleaner looks the part and performed well in testing, but it’s not the easiest vacuum in the world to deep clean with.

Suri toothbrush is an environmentally-friendly toothbrush made from sustainable materials, recyclable heads, and is completely repairable — but it is pricey.

The Gtech AirRAM 3 is a state-of-the-art cordless vacuum with super-strong suction power, but it’s not as versatile as other vacuums.
