Inexpensive options like the Eufy 11S Max feature a 2,000Pa suction, while more high-end options, like the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra, have 10,000Pa.

Unlike the Ninja, Cuisinart's recipe for automatic cold brew is a happy medium: it uses the traditional cold-water-and-grounds immersion technique but for only 25-45 minutes, depending on how strong you want your coffee. The secret is in an agitation setting that moves the water and beans, ideally prompting the extraction to happen faster while still retaining the velvety boldness that makes people love cold brew.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ECustomers don't lie: they love the coffee the Cuisinart makes.

ticks all the boxes, and at the 'bold' setting, 45 minutes, you're likely to be able to get some serious body when you've found the best coffee variety for your

First, are you shopping for a steeper, which takes 12-24 hours to make cold brew or an automatic coffee maker?&nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf you're aiming for automatic, consider your budget. The Cuisinart runs an affordable $80 for the fast-agitation-based cold brew, and if you're willing to splurge and have tea and hot-coffee drinkers in the house, the Ninja offers many features in a $199.99 machine. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf you're looking for a steeper, focus on your filtration method and budget level. For affordability, nothing beats the Takeya at $25, and the fine mesh filter does a good job.&nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFinally, if you're narrowing down between two long-steep paper-filter machines, consider shape and aesthetics. Customers rave about both the OXO and the KitchenAid for their great extraction and ease to clean, so choose the lower price point one, OXO, for a great experience in a taller package that needs a little more countertop or fridge planning. The KitchenAid's beautiful design is well worth the splurge if you want a cold brew machine that will look great in your refrigerator or on display at brunch.&nbsp; \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn conclusion, all five of our picks have captured the interest of cold brew lovers but at a range of price points, filtration styles, and features.

They also have larger cooking surfaces so you can fit more food onto the grill, which is great if you're cooking for a crowd or like to meal-prep. Many gas grills also have side burners for cooking sauces, side dishes, or even desserts, as well as secondary racks under the lid to keep finished food warm while you wait for everything else to get done. High-end models like the KitchenAid 6-burner, dual-chamber gas grill have premium features like ceramic burners for better durability and heat distribution and rotisserie burners for roasting whole chickens, ducks, or turkeys.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"pinbox\" data-uuid=\"0f1e4a67-250c-414e-860a-538e02dfcd64\" data-uri=\"\u002Fapi\u002Fcomponent\u002Feditorial\u002F0f1e4a67-250c-414e-860a-538e02dfcd64\" data-float=\"right\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EGas grills tend to be more expensive than their charcoal-using brethren because they have slightly more complicated designs as well as built-in safety features to prevent flare-ups, gas leaks, and explosions. But even though they cost more up front, using liquid propane to grill is cheaper in the long run, since a typical 20-pound propane tank can last up to a month; compared to needing to buy a new bag of charcoal every other week. Other models that plug into your home's existing natural gas lines can save you even more money, since you don't have to pay to exchange empty cylinders. To help you find the grill of your dreams, I've picked five of the very best gas grills you can buy.

The Weber Q 1200 portable gas grill also has ergonomic carrying handles built into the body to make it easier and more comfortable to move it around.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"Weber Q 1200\" data-superlative=\"Best portable gas grill\" data-imagegroup=\"{"alt":"People standing outside behind a gas grill at a tailgate","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","credits":"Weber","imageData":{"id":"5d162fb8-cebe-423c-8dd7-44520a8ca665","title":"weber-grill","filename":"weber-grill.jpg","path":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2022\u002F05\u002F26\u002F5d162fb8-cebe-423c-8dd7-44520a8ca665\u002Fweber-grill.jpg","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","size":238372,"width":1296,"height":729,"dateCreated":{"date":"2022-05-26 19:37:03","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"dateUpdated":{"date":"2022-05-26 19:37:28","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"needsModeration":false,"mimeType":"image\u002Fjpeg","deleted":false,"credits":"Weber","alt":"People standing outside behind a gas grill at a tailgate","restricted":false,"startDate":null,"endDate":null,"preferred":false,"watermark":false,"doNotCrop":false,"doNotResize":false,"primaryCollection":null,"vanityUrl":null,"notes":null,"crop":null,"cropGravity":0,"preservedRegion":null,"isNew":false,"keywords":["gas grill","grill"],"primeColor":null,"hasWarning":false,"typeName":"content_image"},"uuid":"5d162fb8-cebe-423c-8dd7-44520a8ca665","imageAltText":"People standing outside behind a gas grill at a tailgate","imageCaption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","imageCredit":"Weber","imageDoNotCrop":false,"imageDoNotResize":false,"imageWatermark":false,"imageFilename":"weber-grill.jpg","imageDateCreated":"2022\u002F05\u002F26","imageWidth":1296,"imageHeight":729,"imageParallax":"","imageCrop":"","imageEnlarge":false}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-overridecredit=\"Weber\" data-merchantoffers=\"[{"useMonetization":true,"monetizedUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FWeber-51060001-Q1200-Liquid-Propane\u002Fdp\u002FB00FGEHG6Q?tag=zdnet-buy-button-20","offerMerchant":"Amazon","offerPrice":"259","monetizationStatus":"on","rawUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FWeber-51060001-Q1200-Liquid-Propane\u002Fdp\u002FB00FGEHG6Q","url":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FWeber-51060001-Q1200-Liquid-Propane\u002Fdp\u002FB00FGEHG6Q?tag=zdnet-buy-button-20"},{"useMonetization":true,"monetizedUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fhomedepot.sjv.io\u002Fc\u002F159047\u002F456723\u002F8154?&sharedId=zdnet&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.homedepot.com%2Fp%2FWeber-Q-1200-1-Burner-Portable-Tabletop-Propane-Gas-Grill-in-Black-with-Built-In-Thermometer-51010001%2F205581007&subId1=[subid_value]","offerMerchant":"Home Depot","offerPrice":"259","monetizationStatus":"on","rawUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.homedepot.com\u002Fp\u002FWeber-Q-1200-1-Burner-Portable-Tabletop-Propane-Gas-Grill-in-Black-with-Built-In-Thermometer-51010001\u002F205581007","url":"https:\u002F\u002Fhomedepot.sjv.io\u002Fc\u002F159047\u002F456723\u002F8154?&sharedId=zdnet&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.homedepot.com%2Fp%2FWeber-Q-1200-1-Burner-Portable-Tabletop-Propane-Gas-Grill-in-Black-with-Built-In-Thermometer-51010001%2F205581007&subId1=[subid_value]"},{"useMonetization":true,"monetizedUrl":"","offerMerchant":"Walmart","offerPrice":"259","monetizationStatus":"on","rawUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.walmart.com\u002Fip\u002FWeber-Q-1200-Portable-Gas-Grill-Liquid-Propane\u002F39601436","url":""}]\" data-usepricing=\"true\" data-like=\"Folding design~Corrosion and rust-resistant~Built-in carrying handles\" data-dislike=\"LP tank kit sold separately\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"youtube_video\" data-size=\"large\" data-float=\"none\" data-oembed=\"{"author_name":"Weber Grills","author_url":"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fwww.youtube.com\\\u002Fuser\\\u002FGrillwithWeber","height":113,"html":"\u003Ciframe width=\\"200\\" height=\\"113\\" src=\\"https:\\\u002F\\\u002Fwww.youtube.com\\\u002Fembed\\\u002FHrE606ug6Vo?autoplay=0&amp;loop=0&amp;fs=1&amp;start=0&amp;rel=1&amp;feature=oembed\\" frameborder=\\"0\\" allow=\\"accelerometer;

A side shelf helps to keep utensils and seasonings handy while the built-in temperature gauge lets you check on cooking temps without having to lift the lid. The cast iron cooking grates feature a porcelain-enamel coating to prevent rust and corrosion that can happen when exposed to weather and cooking juices, and the stainless steel construction prevents water damage to the body and frame of the grill as well.

The good news is that natural gas and propane grills don't present as high a risk as their charcoal counterparts, since they cook your food at lower temperatures and don't produce as much smoke.

While most people agree that fried comfort foods can be satisfying sometimes, they're not the healthiest option due to the heavy oils involved to fry the food. Luckily, these top air fryers can serve healthier versions of some of your favorite fried foods without all the fats that can affect your heart health. This guide brings you the best air fryer based on what you're in search of. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBefore diving in, it's helpful to know how air fryers work. The best air fryer eliminates the need to submerge foods in oil. Instead, it uses hot air circulation to \"fry\" the food. An air fryer features a chamber that heats food from a heating element close by. While the heating element cooks the food, a fan circulates the hot air produced. All the hot, circulating air has another positive effect -- foods tend to cook faster and more evenly. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAir fryers will take up counter space due to their size and design. They're electric -- you'll need to place yours near a wall outlet. Air fryers come in a variety of design styles and sizes. Some may look more like a toaster oven, while others are shaped like a pod. Some manufacturers may even offer the appliance in several colors to go with nearly any kitchen decor. We identified six of the best air fryers available now to help you on your path to eating healthier.   \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"10839101-a33b-4b2a-ad3b-30547f5c3b3f\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EPower\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E: 1.500W | \u003Cstrong\u003ECapacity\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E: 3.7 Quart | \u003Cstrong\u003EPresets\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E: 11 plus preheat and warm | \u003Cstrong\u003EDimensions\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E: 13.3" x 10.7" x 12.2" | \u003Cstrong\u003EWeight\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E: 11lbs | \u003Cstrong\u003EColor\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E: Black, red or white |\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Cosori air fryer is our top choice for the best air fryer due to its advanced features in a sleek, simple interface.

You'll need to experiment to get the right combination of oil and cooking times. A basic air fryer model may be your best bet if you're just getting started. Otherwise, the versions with a dozen functions and buttons to press could leave you feeling overwhelmed. Although a simple air fryer may be the best option at first, look for one that lets you set your own heat and time. That way, you could improve your cooking skills and branch out into new recipes after you get the hang of how the appliance works. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf you'd like to reduce countertop clutter, choose a multi-purpose cooker. For example, Cuisinart's TOA-60 is a convection oven, toaster and air fryer, all in one appliance.

They're extremely efficient, cooking food items at high heat relatively quickly. The high demand for air fryers means there are hundreds to choose from, making it hard for anyone just starting out to choose one. We looked at customer reviews and reports of best-selling models to narrow down the field. Once we were down to a couple of dozen air fryers, we took a deeper dive by comparing features.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo make this best air fryer guide, all the models had to have high customer reviews and a competitive price. While you can find an air fryer for as little as $20 and up to the thousand-dollar range, the best air fryer models seem to cost between $50 and $150. We looked for models that provided plenty of value for the cost by choosing ones that had multiple cooking settings for versatility and included all the accessories you would need to start air frying right away.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELastly, low maintenance was a big part of our criteria. Cooking with high heat can be messy. Even with the reduction of oil, you could get spattering or caked-on foods.

But be prepared to pay a pretty penny. The RTX 4090 alone adds almost $1800 to the final price of the PC.

Whether you're taking a day trip to the beach, hiking for the weekend, or spending a week at the campsite, you'll need a sturdy, reliable cooler to keep your drinks, snacks, and meals fresh. There are plenty of options out there for coolers, but there are two main types: hard-sided and soft-sided. Hard-sided models are typically what you picture when you think of coolers: big, often plastic, tubs with insulated sides and lids for holding a large amount of ice, food, and drinks. Whereas soft-sided coolers are more akin to your typical school lunchbox: thinner walls with lighter insulation, zippered openings, and smaller capacities.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EEach type of cooler has its drawbacks and benefits as well as best-use cases: a hard-sided cooler is perfect for longer camping trips since they're more durable and tend to keep ice for much longer while soft-sided ones are best for day trips to the beach, hiking trails, or park.

A hard-sided rotomolded cooler may be best for the avid outdoors type due to its durable design and thick, foam-insulated walls. A hiker or day-tripper might opt for a soft-sided backpack cooler.

Soft-sided coolers, like the REI Cool Trail, will last for a few years as long as you use and store them properly; though they will always be at-risk for rips, tears, and punctures. Hard-sided coolers, like the Yeti Tundra Haul or Igloo Polar, will last just about forever as long as you aren't abusing them. There will always be the risk of cracking and insulation loss, but as long as you aren't slamming the cooler around in the bed of your truck or throwing it around your campsite, chances are your grandkids will be able to pull it out of the garage to use on their own weekend trips.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnd no matter if you're using a soft or hard-sided model, keeping everything clean and sanitized is a big part of extending the life of your cooler. If your cooler has a drain plug, make sure you run some disinfectant through it to prevent the build-up of mold, mildew, and bacteria. If it doesn't, you can wipe out the inside of your cooler with a sanitizing wipe or a warm, soapy sponge. Make sure your sponge doesn't have an abrasive pad on it, since this can create micro abrasions in the plastic or fabric lining of your cooler which are a breeding ground for nasty bacteria. Also make sure you keep your cooler open and in a sunny or well-ventilated area to dry out completely before you store it after cleaning to prevent musty smells and scummy build-up.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"How long will a cooler last?\" data-imagegroup=\"{}\" data-merchantoffers=\"[]\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"7554258e-5e6c-472e-ae97-3452b03edad7\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003EBelieve it or not, the color of your cooler does play at least a small part in determining how long it will keep ice. Darker colors will absorb and retain more heat that's generated from sunlight, reducing the maximum cooling time. While it's not a drastic reduction, it may pose problems on longer camping or fishing trips where ice is in short supply for keeping food at proper temperatures to prevent spoilage. If you plan on using your cooler for more than a few days, choose a lighter color model, preferably all white. White reflects almost all of the visible light spectrum, reducing how much heat it absorbs, and ensuring that you get closer to your cooler's optimum ice-keeping capacity.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"Do white coolers keep ice longer?\" data-imagegroup=\"{}\" data-merchantoffers=\"[]\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"7c96ceff-31a4-4eac-93c1-f1d52e1d9589\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003EHere are a few other options to look into:\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"Are there alternative coolers to consider?\" data-imagegroup=\"{}\" data-merchantoffers=\"[]\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"commercepromo\" data-id=\"d0334b3d-a465-45fd-bc8c-e58275bb673b\" data-edition=\"us\" data-hed=\"Igloo Thermoelectric Iceless 28 Qt Electric Plug-in 12V Cooler\" data-imagegroup=\"{"alt":"Product image of dark grey Igloo cooler next to a can of beer","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","credits":"Igloo","imageData":{"id":"e2aa67a8-42b2-434b-82ef-4283126e5f5c","filename":"igloo-cooler.jpg","path":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fhub\u002Fi\u002F2022\u002F06\u002F03\u002Fe2aa67a8-42b2-434b-82ef-4283126e5f5c\u002Figloo-cooler.jpg","dateCreated":{"date":"2022-06-03 17:04:07","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"primeColor":null,"hasWarning":false},"uuid":"e2aa67a8-42b2-434b-82ef-4283126e5f5c","imageFilename":"igloo-cooler.jpg","imageDateCreated":"2022\u002F06\u002F03"}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-overridecredit=\"Igloo\" data-offerurl=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FIgloo-Versatemp-Cooler\u002Fdp\u002FB09486JQ5J\" data-offerprice=\"191.98\" data-offermerchant=\"Amazon\" data-monetizedurl=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FIgloo-Versatemp-Cooler\u002Fdp\u002FB09486JQ5J?tag=zdnet-buy-button-20\" data-techobjectinfo=\"{}\" data-usemonetization=\"true\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"commercepromo\" data-id=\"d8e187f8-e6f5-4031-ac90-2bd54fe981be\" data-edition=\"us\" data-hed=\"Coolbox Cooler\" data-imagegroup=\"{"alt":"Blue rugged cooler on top of green grass","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","credits":"Amazon","imageData":{"id":"06df3010-8fb6-415a-a115-8db61ec8819b","filename":"coolbox-cooler.jpg","path":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fhub\u002Fi\u002F2022\u002F06\u002F03\u002F06df3010-8fb6-415a-a115-8db61ec8819b\u002Fcoolbox-cooler.jpg","dateCreated":{"date":"2022-06-03 17:04:34","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"primeColor":null,"hasWarning":false},"uuid":"06df3010-8fb6-415a-a115-8db61ec8819b","imageFilename":"coolbox-cooler.jpg","imageDateCreated":"2022\u002F06\u002F03"}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-overridecredit=\"Amazon\" data-offerurl=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FCoolbox-Entertainment-Cooler-Speakers-Display\u002Fdp\u002FB07QN9VJQV\" data-offerprice=\"134.99\" data-offermerchant=\"Amazon\" data-monetizedurl=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FCoolbox-Entertainment-Cooler-Speakers-Display\u002Fdp\u002FB07QN9VJQV?tag=zdnet-buy-button-20\" data-techobjectinfo=\"{}\" data-usemonetization=\"true\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"pinbox\" data-uuid=\"12922153-5c9c-495e-a36a-5dbbc9302a9f\" data-uri=\"\u002Fapi\u002Fcomponent\u002Feditorial\u002F12922153-5c9c-495e-a36a-5dbbc9302a9f\" data-float=\"none\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch3\u003E \t\u003Cbr\u003E \u003C\u002Fh3\u003E",gallery:c,category:c,children:c,contentType:b,contentUrl:b,coreImages:c,date:c,datePublished:{created:c,date:"2022-07-20 13:00:00",timezone:"UTC",updated:c,published:c},description:"What is the best cooler?

Tiny homes and home kits address both of those patterns by providing affordable living spaces that can double as rental properties. If you want to minimize costs, consider a home kit -- perhaps even one that costs less than $50,000.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA home kit contains most of the materials for a small structure and instructions for setup, although what's actually included depends on the kit. They're DIY-friendly, so you can save on labor costs and customize them to your heart's content. Three major things to consider before purchasing a kit are land, labor costs, and permitting. Some options on this list require more labor than others, and all of the options exclude the cost of purchasing land, obtaining permits, and setting up the site with the necessary utilities, like water and electricity. Because you're doing all of the piecing together yourself, you have the freedom to explore your options with these kits. The cabin kit is the shell: You, as the purchaser, have the responsibility to make sure that it's built well and connected to all of the necessary components. Have everything in place and budget well just in case. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWith a little elbow grease and preparation, these homes provide most of the materials you need for a small dwelling right out of the box for under $50,000. The possibilities are endless: You can set up a home kit in your backyard as an accessory dwelling unit, use it as an office, rent it out on Airbnb, or live in it yourself. I evaluated each home kit based on its features, affordability, and overall value. The top five home kits can be used as homes; for different kinds of structures, including a home office pod, garden home, and home gym, check out the alternatives at the end of this piece. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fhome-and-office\u002Fbest-tiny-house\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThe 5 best tiny houses: Modern tiny homes for any space\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"c2018f22-0ecf-41fa-8bab-320d2fd25008\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EFeatures&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003E600 square feet, plus 600 square feet of loft space\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003Cli\u003E30 feet long\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003Cli\u003EBed and bath capabilities depend on the purchaser\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003Cli\u003EPrice: $36,179\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003C\u002Ful\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis kit home yields a spacious cabin suited to any setting.

The EcoBox epitomizes all three values. The one-bedroom, one-bathroom structure has lots of natural light and internal storage. I like how it's neatly divided into a living\u002Fdining\u002Fsleeping area, a kitchen, and a bathroom. The kit comes with five sets of architectural plans, prefabricated steel wall frames, aluminum glazed windows, sliding doors, external cladding, and everything else laid out in the standard plan. There's space in the plans for a deck that blends seamlessly into the whole. &nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe standard package is priced to be built on a concrete slab foundation, which is easy to install and requires little maintenance. It also comes preset at a ceiling height of eight feet, although you can opt to raise it to nine feet for an additional $813 or ten feet for $1,111. The standard structure can be upgraded to endure 1.0kPa or 20.89 square feet of snow and withstand hurricanes. Even if you add the 10 ft high ceiling and 1.0kPa snow load capability, the estimated kit cost would still be under $50,000.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EImagine Kit has 489 plans to choose from on its site, including Eco Box 2 and Eco Box 3 which expand on this base structure at higher price points.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EPros\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003ENatural light and internal storage\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003Cli\u003ECustomizable ceiling height\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003Cli\u003E489 plans to choose from\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003Cli\u003EDesigned to be fully off-the-grid\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003C\u002Ful\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ECons\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003ELabor, electrical, plumbing, flooring, window coverings, and paint not included\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003Cli\u003ELow square feet compared to other options\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003C\u002Ful\u003E\" data-hed=\"Imagine Kit Home's EcoBox\" data-superlative=\"Best off-the-grid home kit\" data-imagegroup=\"{"alt":"placeholder-product-image-for-best-lists.jpg","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","credits":"Imagine Kit Homes","imageData":{"id":"2e2a3c63-4333-4f6c-b8d1-457b76190820","title":"Imagine Kit Home's EcoBox","filename":"ecobox-review-best-home-kit.jpg","path":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fhub\u002Fi\u002F2022\u002F06\u002F09\u002F2e2a3c63-4333-4f6c-b8d1-457b76190820\u002Fecobox-review-best-home-kit.jpg","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","size":836602,"width":1296,"height":729,"dateCreated":{"date":"2022-06-09 08:19:22","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"dateUpdated":{"date":"2022-06-09 08:19:25","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"needsModeration":false,"mimeType":"image\u002Fjpeg","deleted":false,"credits":null,"alt":"Imagine Kit Home's EcoBox","restricted":false,"startDate":null,"endDate":null,"preferred":false,"watermark":false,"doNotCrop":false,"doNotResize":false,"primaryCollection":null,"vanityUrl":null,"notes":null,"crop":null,"cropGravity":0,"preservedRegion":null,"isNew":false,"keywords":[],"primeColor":null,"hasWarning":false,"typeName":"content_image"},"uuid":"2e2a3c63-4333-4f6c-b8d1-457b76190820","imageAltText":"placeholder-product-image-for-best-lists.jpg","imageCaption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","imageCredit":"Imagine Kit Homes","imageDoNotCrop":false,"imageDoNotResize":false,"imageWatermark":false,"imageFilename":"ecobox-review-best-home-kit.jpg","imageDateCreated":"2022\u002F06\u002F09","imageWidth":1296,"imageHeight":729,"imageParallax":"","imageCrop":"","imageEnlarge":false}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-overridecredit=\"Imagine Kit Homes\" data-merchantoffers=\"[{"useMonetization":true,"monetizedUrl":"","offerMerchant":"Imagine Kit","offerPrice":"43221","monetizationStatus":"on","rawUrl":"https:\u002F\u002Fimaginekithomes.com\u002Fplans\u002Fecobox\u002F","url":""}]\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"e21eccb5-0033-469b-a23b-79cc82bd5acb\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EFeatures\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003E120 square feet\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003Cli\u003E19 feet long\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003Cli\u003EStudio, 1 bath\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003Cli\u003EPrice: $60,000\u003C\u002Fli\u003E\u003C\u002Ful\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Microhaus is out of the $50k budget by 20%, but it's still worth a mention for its stunning exterior and multifunctionality. It's a fully furnished remote-controlled smart home that has a remarkably sleek design focused on natural light, with panoramic windows. It beats a traditional hotel experience by leaps and bounds for its versatility alone: The durable composite home is portable and doesn't require groundwork to be functional. It has full off-the-grid capabilities and comes equipped with batteries just in case a blackout occurs. The Microhaus is easy to set up with no groundwork – just connect the waste pump, water hose, and 30 Amp outlet to the grid and you're good to go. Most areas do not require a permit for structures under 150 square feet, so a building permit may not be required.

They deliver across the US and provide 24\u002F7 support.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe smart home features are exciting because you can control everything through the Home Remote App. You can also easily scale your rental operation by buying more units when you can afford them and scattering them through prime locations across the country.

A bidet seat can reduce your reliance on paper products and improve your hygiene routine at the same time.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA bidet toilet seat is a drop-in replacement for your existing toilet seat that ties into the water supply for your toilet. The basic concept uses a directed stream of water to clean the desired area of your body without the use of bathroom tissue. In my personal experience using these devices for the past five years, I do not require more than a few sheets total when drying off or even the use of bathroom tissue at all. Once I started using one, I found toilets not equipped with these devices to be comparatively primitive -- it's hard to go back to the old way of doing things once you start. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"93c553f8-099c-4864-85a4-81a98aeb0d04\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003EIf an electronic bidet defines the category, it is by far Toto's Washlet S500 series.

You can either find your lot size on your memorandum deeds if you've bought your house, or you can check your city's website to see if you can request lot measurements if you're renting. If your lot measures about an acre, you can use a 30 or 42-inch cutting deck without any issues. For lawns up to two acres, a 42 or 46-inch deck is ideal. And if your lot is over two acres, you can get a mower with up to a 72-inch cutting deck to handle larger areas.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe transmission type is also important. Many newer models have what is known as a hydrostatic drive, which means that they operate similarly to how a car drives: You push the pedal to move forward or backward, and the harder you push, the faster you go. This makes it easier to learn how to drive, but that also makes the mower more expensive. More stripped-back models have variable-speed manual transmissions, which allow you to "set and forget" your speed so you can focus on paying attention to obstacles and people who may be nearby.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnd finally, you'll want to consider the power source for your new riding mower. Gasoline engines are far more common, but there is now a wider variety of battery-powered models to choose from. The perks of a gas engine are that you'll get near-infinite run times (as long as you have enough fuel to keep the engine going) and a bit more power for handling steep inclines and rough terrain. The downsides are dealing with exhaust emissions and maintenance that can be a time and money sink. Electric models don't need engine maintenance, so you save a bit of money in the long run. But they usually have a maximum run time of about an hour, which means that you may have to plan your mowing over several days if you have a larger yard.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"How do you decide which riding mower to buy?\" data-imagegroup=\"{}\" data-merchantoffers=\"[]\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"cnetlisticle\" data-id=\"e338db83-da68-4ce6-9398-b4683b088f84\" data-edition=\"us\" data-description=\"\u003Cp\u003ERiding mowers are best suited for yards measuring one acre or larger.

Just like any other Roomba device you may have, it uses the first couple of runs to understand your floor and furniture layout.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIt works in very methodical, efficient rows, ensuring that every part of your floor is getting cleaned. The m6 travels approximately three feet, backs up about halfway, and sprays some cleaning solution on the floor. This process is repeated until the mopping is finished.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI love that the m6 uses plenty of cleaning solution throughout the entire mopping process; it picks up a ton of dirt and grime. My floors are sparkling after it's finished, and it doesn't leave a sticky residue of any type. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThanks to the laser navigation technology, the m6 didn't have any trouble recognizing rugs or carpet in my home, which makes this device even more impressive. Because I know that it isn't going to ruin my rugs or carpet, I trust the mop to run when I'm gone or not paying it much attention. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Braava Jet m6's dry mopping function works just like the wet mopping; you just have to make sure the correct \u003Cspan data-shortcode=\"commercelinkshortcode\" data-id=\"bbb62d7a-2f5b-44f2-895f-915f3b90a86d\" data-raw-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FiRobot-Authentic-Replacement-Parts-Sweeping\u002Fdp\u002FB07RG7X3Q9\u002F\" data-link-shortcode-text=\"dry pad\" data-use-monetization=\"true\" data-edition=\"us\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E is inserted.

This enables the m6 to communicate with the Roomba i, j, or s series vacuums to fully clean your house with just the touch of a few buttons in the app. This is one of my favorite ways to clean my house. I will tell the app to vacuum certain rooms and then select the \"mop after\" button. As soon as the Roomba vacuum finishes its job and docks, the m6 starts its job. It truly is an incredible, helpful feature. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E Mobility  \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Braava Jet m6 is 10.6 inches wide and 3.5 inches high, so it's relatively small. Its size makes it easy to navigate around and under your furniture. Because it's never transitioning onto rugs or carpet, it doesn't get stuck like some robot vacuums might. It's efficient and precise with its movements and has never (knock on wood) gotten stuck or trapped somewhere in my house.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E Battery \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBecause the Braava Jet m6 works slowly and methodically, its battery can handle up to 1,000 square feet on a single charge. To give you an idea, the m6 cleaned 407 square feet of my home in an hour and 43 minutes without ever having to dock and recharge. Because the mop is slow, its long-lasting battery makes up for its cleaning speed.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E Connectivity \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYou'll need to hook up the Braava Jet m6 to your Wi-Fi and download the iRobot app to get started. The app is user friendly and makes scheduling, selecting rooms, and blocking off sections a breeze. The more access you give the app to other applications, the smarter it is. You can connect your Google Home and Alexa, allowing you to simply give your m6 verbal commands. The technology will do the rest.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne of my favorite features in the app is the ability to clean particular rooms based on the map that the Roomba created of my home. I'm able to go into the app, select which rooms I want cleaned, and those are the only rooms the m6 will mop. You can simplify the process even more by creating a schedule where the rooms you want cleaned daily are scheduled that way, versus the rooms you want cleaned every few days.

We didn't have the space on our old sailboat (at least not without doing some reorganization) but the garden feels just right on Lindy.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EJust as plants can help mariners feel a connection to home, growing fresh veggies and flowers in your apartment can help bring life into the space, imbuing it with a bit of magic and earthiness.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"9ac50579-ebfa-4a86-bcee-06509cdf629c\" data-size=\"large\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EOkay, but don't water with Pellegrino.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Greg Nichols \u002F ZDNet\" data-image-alt-text=\"Tablescape\" data-image-filename=\"table-scape.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F12\u002F31\" data-image-width=\"4032\" data-image-height=\"3024\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EResults\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI've had my garden going for about a month.

The lettuce I wouldn't do again ... it's just not a big enough event eating it to warrant the garden real estate. More herbs, I think, and maybe mix it up with some flowers for a bright pop of color. The basil has been a great ingredient to reach for and I'm really looking forward to the cherry tomatoes, which must be a very small variety to fit under the grow lights. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"commercepromo\" data-id=\"14b94fa7-074c-417c-8d92-74fbd266b9b9\" data-edition=\"us\" data-hed=\"Smart Garden 9 Pro\" data-imagegroup=\"{"alt":"","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","credits":"","imageData":{"id":"f3ec6070-4317-476e-a74f-56c87531c1ad","filename":"smart-garden-pro-9.jpg","path":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fimg\u002F2022\u002F12\u002F31\u002Ff3ec6070-4317-476e-a74f-56c87531c1ad\u002Fsmart-garden-pro-9.jpg","dateCreated":{"date":"2022-12-31 00:06:40","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"primeColor":null,"hasWarning":false},"uuid":"f3ec6070-4317-476e-a74f-56c87531c1ad","imageFilename":"smart-garden-pro-9.jpg","imageDateCreated":"2022\u002F12\u002F31"}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-offerurl=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.clickandgrow.com\u002Fproducts\u002Fthe-smart-garden-9-pro?srsltid=AeTuncrerWQ9G7QRdmWAOfdEYTYQ26_-fKuP8iOQk6Bchmo0bjjFkaoBbPM\" data-offerprice=\"217\" data-offermerchant=\"Click & Grow\" data-monetizedurl=\"http:\u002F\u002Famazon.com?tag=zdnet-buy-button-20\" data-usemonetization=\"true\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EBottom line \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHighly recommend.

This was easy with the included hardware and requires no tools. I used our grill propane tank and hand-screwed the Pi's propane hose in. I hadn't tested the propane function previously and I was nervous the burner would take some finessing. However, the burner fired on the first click of the piezo auto-ignition, which you fire by turning the burner knob to on. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI let the Pi heat up and took readings with an infrared thermometer. After 10 minutes, the pizza stone on the bottom of the Pi oven was over 500 degrees. After 20 minutes it was around 670 degrees. From there the stone inched slowly hotter, topping 720 degrees. The ambient temperature would have been much hotter to keep the stone at that temperature. Solo claims the temperature reaches 900 degrees with the propane attachment, and that seems legit. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhat about hot surfaces? I was testing the oven off the boat because, well, it's a wood boat. But I had it placed on a plastic work table, which proved no issue at all. The oven stayed cool underneath, even at full blast. The sides were warm but didn't present any risk of burns. That's a departure from Solo's original fire pit, which gets hot on the sides. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fhome-and-office\u002Fkitchen-household\u002Fbest-fire-extinguisher\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThe 5 best fire extinguishers\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe top of the oven, naturally, was a different story. \"Caution Hot\" is emblazoned on the stainless steel in relief letters.

Because I broke up the two tasks, I'll separately review both functions, but for now, the overall performance can be lumped together. The iLife did a nice job getting to know my home. It was obvious that the more it ran, the faster and more acclimated it became. The Lidar technology made sure that all of my floors were being cleaned, and they were cleaned in a methodical manner. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EVacuum \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe vacuum has three different suction settings you can choose from: max, auto, and quiet. Max was certainly the loudest and strongest setting available, but it wasn't one I found myself using very often. Auto was about what you expect from a robot vacuum in terms of noise -- you know it's there but it isn't so loud that it's interrupting your conversations. And quiet, was in fact, quiet. I almost always opted for the auto cleaning suction power simply because of the dirt and debris that accumulates daily in my house. For homes without kids or pets, you could likely run on quiet mode and be satisfied with the cleanliness of your home.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor the first two weeks that I used the iLife A11, I was very happy with the vacuum portion of the robot. But then, and for no reason that I could ever find, it began fixating on one area in my house to clean over and over again. My poor living room rug was cleaned countless times with this robot. I would set the robot to vacuum my entire house, and it would get one section done and then head straight for my rug. I almost always supervise my robot vacuums to ensure that nothing bad happens, so I would let it go for about 10 minutes, hoping it would decide my rug was clean enough, but I frequently had to pick up the vacuum and move it to a new location. This never solved the issue. I'd put it back down, in another room across the house, and bam, it was on its way right back to my rug. This didn't happen every single time I ran the vacuum, and it didn't start happening until a couple of weeks in. But for whatever reason, some days my rug was the only thing the iLife wanted to clean.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo see if this was an isolated event, I took the iLife A11 to my parent's house and let them set it up and run it from the very beginning, as if they'd just pulled the machine out of the box. They did not experience the same issue. The vacuum did exactly as it was supposed to without incident. The robot worked there for over a week, picking up all of their debris and running smoothly, just as intended. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"5208f6cc-7921-4e67-b42e-805eeb5ee97c\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Beth Mauder\u002FZDNet\" data-image-alt-text=\"top-view.jpg\" data-image-filename=\"top-view.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F04\u002F27\" data-image-width=\"3685\" data-image-height=\"3024\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EMop \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen I realized that the iLife A11 was a two-in-one machine that could simultaneously vacuum and mop, I was ecstatic. Vacuuming and mopping are tedious tasks, and ones that I feel could be done daily if I had the time, so the idea of one machine that could do both of these for me was thrilling. But the results from the mop were disappointing. The Lidar technology does a nice job of making sure that everything is covered, but the execution is poor. The mop left streaks (see the picture below) throughout my entire house. I thought maybe it was because the mop pad wasn't damp enough yet, but even after covering over 1000 square feet, the mop was still leaving streaks. So where the mop pad actually touched my floor was clean, but the middle portion was always left dirty. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnother problem with the mopping feature is that it does not detect carpet or rugs when it is running. It was frustrating to have to either pick up the smaller rugs or block off the larger rugs that aren't easily moved every single time I ran the mop.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne thing I really liked about the mop function is that it vacuumed and mopped at the same time, making the machine even more efficient. It compartmentalized the dirt and debris well enough that the mop head wasn't filled with additional dirt. Once the uneven streaking issue is addressed, this will be a great two-in-one machine for this reason alone. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"7fd2c681-b3c9-4961-92cc-f3d6a320dcd5\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Beth Mauder\u002FZDNet\" data-image-alt-text=\"mop-streak-ilife.jpg\" data-image-filename=\"mop-streak-ilife.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F04\u002F27\" data-image-width=\"1920\" data-image-height=\"1440\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E Suction power \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI wanted to see how the iLife A11 would stack up against some everyday household debris that robots may encounter. I took an otherwise clean section of flooring and threw down some kitty litter, dog food, grass clippings, and crushed potato chips. The A11 picked everything up in its path. It did a great job cleaning up the everyday wear and tear on my floors. Dust, dog and cat hair, dirt -- it all got cleaned up. The 4000Pa suction power is very effective and I think you'll be satisfied, or even disgusted, at how much dirt and debris this robot picks up.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E Mobility \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe iLife A11 also does a really nice job transitioning from one flooring type to another, including rugs and carpet. The seamless transition ensures that the robot can run on its own without supervision or fear of getting stuck somewhere. Through all of my testing, the A11 never got stuck at my house or my parents' house.

After the initial setup, I start by picking up toys, shoes, chairs, and other easily moved items so that the robot can get a nice layout of my home. From there, I let the X30 Ultra do its thing; It quickly mapped my home, and then attempted to label and divide the rooms for me.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAfter the initial mapping run, I integrated the machine into my everyday routine. I set schedules for when I want the machine to run daily, but occasionally stray from that if my usual routine is interrupted. I have a very nimble little one, a German Shepherd, German Shorthaired Pointer, and a cat, so dropped food, kitty litter, dog hair, muddy paw prints, and mostly everything in between makes its way onto my floors.

For a $1,700 vacuum, you'd expect a little more flexibility in what cleaning solutions you can use with the machine, but that's not the case here.

Recurring costs likely aren't going to be on your mind when making a purchase like this, but could be a limiting factor depending on the size and price point of the solution. ZDNET has reached out to Dreame for comment on this limitation and they said, \"it is recommended to use clean water or Dreame's special cleaning fluid for cleaning.

The more you use the j7+, the more it learns your home and layout. It works well on various flooring types, including tile, carpet, laminate, and rugs of various heights. You can tell that the Roomba knows what surface it's on because it gets a bit quieter on rugs or carpets versus tile and laminate. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAfter two runs, the j7+ quickly picked up on the layout of my home, and I was able to label certain rooms and block areas that I didn't want to be cleaned. The layout feature is very simple to use and handy -- some days, I just need my kitchen swept instead of my entire house. I can program this directly from the app, and it'll even estimate how long the Roomba will take to clean each area. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBecause the j7+ does such a nice job understanding your layout and creating an accurate map of your home, it doesn't smack into your walls or furniture when it's cleaning. It stays right along the edge of the walls and slows down when it's approaching something. This is a great feature because you don't have to worry about the robot damaging anything, but you also don't have to listen to it smacking into things. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe j7+ is equipped with self-emptying technology thanks to its Clean Base automatic dirt disposal docking station. The Clean Base is sleek in design and fits in nicely in my home. It comes with two enclosed bags, so you'll have an extra once you fill the first one.

When the bag is full, the app will send you a notification, and you'll simply lift the bag away, drop it in the trash, and insert the new bag. Literally, no dust, dirt, or debris will be handled in the disposal process, nor will it get all over your trashcan or floor when you're trying to empty out the j7+.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"bc1c5d6f-aff6-471a-8f34-c6cd49cbdd67\" data-size=\"large\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EThe j7+ docked in its clean base.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Beth Mauder\u002FZDNet\" data-image-alt-text=\"roombaj7plus-base\" data-image-filename=\"roombaj7plus-base.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022-06-27 13:50:45.000000\" data-image-width=\"1600\" data-image-height=\"1290\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E Mobility  \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn my extensive testing of robot vacuums, I've deemed one particular corner of my dining room a robot death trap. It's a tight corner with a floor vent and only about two feet of wiggle room between the corner walls and my hutch. This robot vacuum is the only one I have tested that has yet to get stuck in this corner (knock on wood). With the advanced sensors and smart-mapping technology, the j7+ navigates my floors and wonky layouts beautifully, without ever leaving a section uncleaned.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs for navigating between carpet and tile or from vinyl to a rug, the vacuum does a nice job of getting itself where it needs to be without veering off the path or getting stuck. Genuinely, I haven't had an obstacle yet where the Roomba j7+ finds itself hung up. This gives me peace of mind when I turn the vacuum on and leave. I know it'll either finish its job or rest peacefully back in its base when I get home. Truly, there isn't much better than coming home to clean floors, and the only finger you lifted was to open the app and turn the vacuum on. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E Suction power \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe suction power is great. Roomba doesn't specify exactly what the suction power of the j7+ is, but it does say that it packs \"10x the Power-Lifting Suction\" compared to the Roomba 600 series cleaning system. As always, I ran the Roomba j7+ in my home to tackle everyday messes, but I also tested dog food, cat food, chip crumbs, kitty litter, grass blades, and pet hair. The three-stage cleaning system with an edge-sweeping brush and dual multi-surface rubber brushes cleans up everything in its path. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe suction power is so efficient that I've even tucked away my regular vacuum and let the j7+ tackle my carpeted bedrooms. Until recently, I've been unimpressed with robot vacuums on the carpet, but the Roomba j7+ really does get the ingrained pet hair sucked out of the carpet fibers. So if you have a home with carpet, vinyl, tile, or hardwood, this device really can handle cleaning all of your home.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E Stairs and ledges: Cliff detect \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Roomba j7+ uses what it calls Cliff Detect technology to avoid stairs in your house to keep from taking a tumble. I tested the stair theory, watching with fear as the robot approached the stair ledge, but was relieved to see the robot went right up to the ledge and then steered itself away from danger. You'll rest easy knowing that your robot and stairs are safe and the ledge will be cleaned.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E Battery \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Roomba j7+ runs for around 85 minutes, give or take, in my house before needing to dock itself to recharge. Where the j7+ may lack in battery life, it makes up for in its ability to take itself back to the Clean Base to recharge and then immediately drives itself back to where it left off to finish the job.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"fa622604-ef8d-4883-a472-838c7bbcc86f\" data-size=\"medium\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EA recent job completed by the j7+.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-alt-text=\"img-8848.png\" data-image-filename=\"img-8848.png\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F06\u002F27\" data-image-width=\"1242\" data-image-height=\"2208\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E P.O.O.P. Promise  \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs a pet owner, Roomba's Pet Owner Official Promise, otherwise known as the P.O.O.P. Promise, makes me feel confident in allowing the robot to run unsupervised. The promise says that the j7+ will avoid pet waste or iRobot will replace the Roomba. My pets have been potty trained for quite some time now, so this wasn't a test I felt like replicating. But my cat did have a hairball in a low-traffic area of my house, and the j7+ cleaned around the mess, interestingly enough! So if you're a pet parent who has avoided robot vacuums because of the horror stories that involve pet waste, the j7+ is the device for you. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E Automatic object detection and avoidance \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe j7+ also comes with automatic object detection and avoidance. What this means is you don't have to pick up a lot of messes before the vacuum cleans. Roomba is able to offer this through iRobot OS technology to recognize and avoid common, everyday items that end up on the floor. As of right now, iRobot can recognize cords, socks, shoes, and pet waste. I've tested this out several times; the Roomba cleans right around cords, socks, and shoes. And if you opt-in, the j7+ will take pictures and upload them through the app for you to review in case the cord or item is something that should be built into the map. iRobot said it uses \"the highest standards of data encryption.\"  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"c9f4086a-a7ae-4496-8851-9fc6cf719c08\" data-size=\"medium\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EAfter a cleaning run, the j7+ said it detected an object I needed to review -- apparently my dog didn't feel like moving that day.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-alt-text=\"img-8803.png\" data-image-filename=\"img-8803.png\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F06\u002F27\" data-image-width=\"1242\" data-image-height=\"2208\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E Connectivity \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYou'll need to hook up the Roomba j7+ to your Wi-Fi and download the iRobot app to get started. The app is very user-friendly and makes scheduling, selecting rooms, and blocking off sections a breeze. The more access you give the app to other applications, the smarter it is. You can set the iRobot app to see your location, and it will automatically run the vacuum when you're gone and stop if you return before it's done cleaning. You can also connect your Google Home and Alexa, so you can simply give your j7+ commands, and the technology will do the rest.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne of my favorite parts about the app is the ability to clean particular rooms that you've labeled based on the map that the Roomba created of your home. I'm able to go into the app and select which rooms I want to be cleaned, and those are the only rooms the vacuum will clean. You can simplify the process even more by creating a schedule where the rooms you want cleaned daily are scheduled that way versus the rooms you want to be cleaned every few days. The possibilities are endless.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnother feature the app offers is the ability for you to grow your iRobot family, connecting other devices, such as the\u003Cspan data-shortcode=\"commercelinkshortcode\" data-id=\"fd942ed5-bc2a-4786-886a-14f4a955d64e\" data-raw-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.bestbuy.com\u002Fsite\u002Firobot-braava-jet-m6-wi-fi-connected-robot-mop-white\u002F6344889.p?skuId=6344889\" data-monetized-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FiRobot-Ultimate-Connected-Precision-Recharges\u002Fdp\u002FB07QNM91NQ?tag=zdnet-buy-button-20\" data-link-shortcode-text=\"Roomba m6 mop\" data-use-monetization=\"true\" data-edition=\"us\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E.

From the scented pods you place on the bottle snout, the flavors are transported through your olfactory receptors and into your brain, so you perceive the scent as a taste when you're really just drinking water. The concept of tasting what you smell is called \"retronasal smell.\" Have you ever been congested and unable to taste the flavor of your food? It's the same concept here but reversed. As the name of the bottle implies, air is necessary for this system to work. Flavored air is combined with water, and released to give you the taste you are looking for. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMore: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fbest-smart-water-bottle\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EDehydrated?

Unsurprisingly, you will get the strongest taste when the pod is first put in, and it will fade with time. According to Air Up, each pod is designed to flavor approximately 1.3 gallons of water. If you drink a gallon of water a week, you can expect to sip up the majority of a pod's flavor by the end of it. In my experience, the company's estimate is true. One week is the ideal time for you to get the optimal flavor per pod. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E Bottle design leaves much to be desired\u003Cbr\u003E \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHere is where the problem with the Air Up begins. The plastic-made water bottle is not effective for keeping your water cold and, most importantly, it leaks when it's tilted more than a certain degree. Of course, if you don't mind drinking flavored water that's room temperature, you can ignore the first call-out. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAgain, the Air Up bottle works by letting air into the water so that you can experience the scented pod's taste. It does this through a hole in the straw and a pressure equalization valve. This means that the fit of the mouthpiece will never be flush with the bottle, as pictured below. Notice how the rubberized seal lifts up slightly. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EMore: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fbest-peloton-alternative\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EFive best exercise bikes that beat Peloton\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"a6c312b9-9b73-4cc8-9b09-c75469177216\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EThe rubberized bumper leaves a small gap for water to leak out.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Sabrina Ortiz\u002FZDNET\" data-image-alt-text=\"Air Up bottle lip leak\" data-image-filename=\"fda15604-b500-4034-87a3-fb99f2b7ce14-1-201-a.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F10\u002F28\" data-image-crop=\"4028x2263+4+648\" data-image-width=\"4032\" data-image-height=\"3024\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis also means that every time the bottle tips over, water leaks out of the bottle.

MAGIC.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOkay, not really.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELomi accelerates the composting process by using heat and abrasion to break down food waste, approved bioplastics, and packaging. Lomi cycles are a multi-step process within a small machine, designed to mimic natural composting at every stage. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe first stage is grinding. Naturally, you're going to hear this, and it's worth pointing out here that Lomi makes some noise. It's nothing you can't have a conversation over, sort of akin to a bread machine in its knead mode. But grinding is essential for the composting process. Smaller food pieces are easier to break down than larger chunks, since increased aeration and surface area make it easier for microorganisms to break down the waste. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Finsta360-go-2-tiny-action-cam-vs-high-seas\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EI tested the Insta360 Go 2 action cam on my WWII-era sailboat.

The machine mimics nature's mesophilic (moderate-temperature), thermophilic, (high-temperature phase), and cooling phases, but it accomplishes in a few hours what takes nature several months. Internal sensors ensure proper moisture content, warm temperatures, and plenty of oxygen for natural decomposition. The three Lomi modes -- Eco-Express, Grow, and Lomi Approved -- do this at varying speeds, which impacts the final product and what you're able to do with it. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMy kids, at least, are sticking with the magic story.

I recommend you read through the setup and usage guides, as there are some things you have to do to set up the Empty Wash Fill Dock to work properly with the S7 MaxV Ultra.

The Tovala has six primary cooking modes: toast, bake, broil, steam, reheat, and scan. It also air-frys.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA few of those are self-explanatory (a toaster should toast, what else is there to say?) but others require some unpacking. Does it surprise you that a countertop oven has a steam mode? It surprised us. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen setting up the oven, you add water via a small inlet on the right side of the oven, using the included measuring cup. In addition to steaming food like vegetables, the Tovala Smart Oven can use steam in ways such as adding a steam cycle to the toast function to make the bread crispy on the outside but moist inside.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe scanning function is also a new one for us, although it's becoming more common on kitchen appliances. You scan a barcode on the packaging of whatever you're heating up, say a frozen pizza, and if the Tovala recognizes it the oven automatically sets the temperature, mode, and time for best cooking.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fhome-and-office\u002Fhow-to-build-a-winter-emergency-kit\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHow to build a winter emergency kit (and why)\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOf course, it wouldn't be a smart oven if it didn't connect to Wi-Fi (2.4GHz in this case) and had an app. With the app, among other features, you can set custom multi-mode cook cycles, select from a library of chef's recipes, order Tovala Meals (Tovala's meal subscription service), and scan grocery store foods. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EEnabling push notifications also allows Tovala to tell you when your food is done and ready to take out of the oven.

I selected the toast mode, chose my toast level (1-5), and pressed start. Sometimes sophistication and complexity in household products come at the cost of simplicity. Not so with the Tovala Smart Oven, the core functions of which are very intuitive.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ENext came the Impossible Chicken Nuggets. When we cook the nuggets in our boat oven, they come out one of two ways: underdone and mushy in the middle, or overcooked and too hard. (Our kids being ravenous monsters, this hasn't slowed them down too much.) After loading the nuggets onto the air fryer tray, we pressed scan and held the barcode on the packaging up to the Tovala's small eye.

The Tovala nailed it. Likely one of the reasons the packaged cooking instructions differed from the Tovala's is that the oven can toggle between its cooking modes to produce the best final product.

Call it fusion or call it laziness. My daughter in particular loved the shells, which were lightly toasted on the outside just like my mother-in-law makes. The burrito bowls were great, and the whole process of assembly and cooking took significantly less time than a home-cooked meal from scratch. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIf not for the packaging, this would be a long-term solution for us. But as a family of four, it's unjustifiable for us to fill a trash can every day if it's avoidable.

It was all very tasty.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnd the oven performed great. We made cookies the next night from scratch and found from one of the included meal cards that Tovala has a helpful cookie mode.

Even when giving it full range of my open-concept living room, kitchen, and dining room, there would be times when the Shark would primarily clean in one area and call it a day. Knowing this, I ran the robot every single day to get the maximum cleaning. If you have an open-concept home and don't plan on running the robot daily, then the Shark probably isn't for you.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOn the other hand, for any rooms that have doors, I could just stick the vacuum in there, close the door, leave it for 10 minutes, and come back to completely cleaned floors.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"8e3e55f3-0e58-40d4-85da-1880aead248e\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EThe vacuum comes with three buttons for a simplified user experience.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Image: Beth Mauder\u002FZDNet\" data-image-alt-text=\"shark1.jpg\" data-image-filename=\"shark1.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F04\u002F14\" data-image-width=\"1600\" data-image-height=\"1200\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E \t\u003Cstrong\u003ESuction power\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhere this robot lacks in mapping technology, it makes up for with its suction power on tiles, laminate, and rugs. Not only did I run the vacuum daily in a house with two dogs and a cat, but I also tested its suction power on pieces of dog food, blades of grass, kitty litter, and some crushed-up potato chips. It didn't miss a beat when cleaning; it sucked up everything in its path.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOn top of those specific tests, my floors looked spectacular after running the vacuum.

The first time the robot approached my stairs, I was nervous and stood closely to snag the vacuum just in case it decided to take a tumble. Much to my surprise, it never did. Every time it approached the stairs, it would clean right to the ledge and then turn around. The technology here works brilliantly. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E \t\u003Cstrong\u003EConnectivity\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELike other Shark robot vacuums, the AV751 works with the SharkClean app, Alexa, and Google Assistant. The app is user friendly and easy to navigate. You can start and stop your robot in addition to scheduling cleaning cycles all within it. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EWhen scheduling, the app and robot work seamlessly together; the vacuum always started promptly at the correct time. Just make sure you have it plugged in and charged before doing so. Alexa and Google Assistant were also easy to set up and use, although I didn't find them as convenient as the SharkClean app. Oftentimes, I'd already have the vacuum scheduled to run, so I didn't need to tell it to begin a cleaning job.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAnother thing the Shark ION AV751 struggles with is finding its way back to the docking station after completing a cleaning cycle. Whenever it finished its job and was too far from the dock, it would aimlessly drive around looking for the docking station (and wasn't very successful). More times than not, I had to go find the vacuum, stop it, and station it myself. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThis isn't terribly inconvenient. If you were to schedule the vacuum to run while you're at work, however, there's a good chance that it would run out of battery trying to find the docking station. You'd return to a lost, dead robot vacuum.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"commercepromo\" data-id=\"75395d26-4ce4-4e44-a0b6-1ea2e68d0bdc\" data-edition=\"us\" data-hed=\"Shark ION Robot Vacuum AV751\" data-imagegroup=\"{"alt":"shark-ion-av751.png","caption":"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E","credits":"","imageData":{"id":"015e71df-c5e2-4cb8-aa7e-d876ae56b01a","filename":"shark-ion-av751.png","path":"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fa\u002Fhub\u002Fi\u002F2022\u002F04\u002F15\u002F015e71df-c5e2-4cb8-aa7e-d876ae56b01a\u002Fshark-ion-av751.png","dateCreated":{"date":"2022-04-15 18:57:59","timezone":"UTC","timezone_type":3},"primeColor":null,"hasWarning":false},"uuid":"015e71df-c5e2-4cb8-aa7e-d876ae56b01a","imageFilename":"shark-ion-av751.png","imageDateCreated":"2022\u002F04\u002F15"}\" data-overridecaption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-offerurl=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.amazon.com\u002FShark-AV751-Connected-Multi-Surface-Cleaning\u002Fdp\u002FB08634VWVF?th=1\" data-offermerchant=\"Amazon\" data-techobjectinfo=\"{}\" data-usemonetization=\"true\" data-usepricing=\"true\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E \t\u003Cstrong\u003EBottom line \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor $229, I like the Shark ION AV751 for its suction power and how easily it navigates around my house.

Instead, it offers just two options: water filter pitchers and water filter dispensers. It is known for its signature five-stage filtration system, a process proven to provide almost full removal of the harmful contaminants in your water. However, the extra filtration slows the system down, delivering a lower flow rate of 6.5 ounces per minute.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOn its website, ZeroWater offers a convenient search tool that allows you to check your local water supply with a TDS reading. Your purchase also includes a free water quality meter, a bonus that comes with all ZeroWater water filter pitchers and dispensers. However, ZeroWater sells its water filter pitchers differently than the average water filter. Its water filter pitchers are sold as an entire system that includes your pitcher and three filters. Your purchase automatically enrolls you in the ZeroWater replacement program. This subscription-based service allows you to receive replacement filter deliveries on a recurring basis of every one, two, or four months. Each replacement order costs $29.99, plus shipping.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-hed=\"ZeroWater\" data-superlative=\"Best when you want premium filtration\"

come. The 2,500Pa of suction power is in line with high-end machines from Roomba, Roborock, and Shark, and Neato gives you three power modes to optimize the D10's performance and battery life. Speaking of which, the 6,200mAh is one of the larger-sized capacities that we've tested, and Neato claims the robot will last up to 300 minutes of run time before needing a charge. We'll see if that holds true later on. Toss in smart home pairing via Alexa, Google, or Siri, and you have a recipe for a formidable robot vacuum. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003ESetup\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Neato D10 arrives packaged with all the tools and accessories you'll need to get started, including its lightweight charging base, a brush cleaner, and two extra sets of True HEPA filters -- promised to capture up to 99.97% of allergens and dust particles. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"65ba1cc0-ec42-4970-9927-9d061ffbee95\" data-size=\"medium\" data-float=\"right\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Image: Neato\" data-image-alt-text=\"neato-d10-packaging.png\" data-image-filename=\"neato-d10-packaging.png\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F05\u002F02\" data-image-width=\"411\" data-image-height=\"397\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMy unit came fully charged and ready to roll.

You'll mainly use it to start the vacuum or dial between the three power modes: Eco, Turbo, and Max. But the app also displays your room layouts, zones, and no-go zones. Zones designate where the D10 can and cannot vacuum; a useful feature to have if there's an area with many cables and wires that you'd like the robot to avoid. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBesides the audio queues from the robot itself, you can also rely on the MyNeato app to understand the battery level of the D10 and what, if any, issues it may be experiencing.

That, paired with the aluminum, brushed metal design, gives the robot an industrial and futuristic appearance that, as I mentioned, reminds me of the Tesla Cybertruck. Still, the D10 weighs about 8 pounds and is light enough to carry around rooms, floors, and levels. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe D-shaped design lends itself to two major benefits: cleaning area and dustbin size. With a straighter front side, the Neato D10 has a wider brush than typical vacuums and can therefore suck up dust particles and debris more efficiently. This is especially true when vacuuming the edges of walls and\u002For bookshelves. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"0c856b1a-060d-4686-97cf-33e9976fafe9\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EThe Neato D10, fashioned with a sleek, metallic finish.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"June Wan\u002FZDNet\" data-image-alt-text=\"neato-d10-livingroom.jpg\" data-image-filename=\"neato-d10-livingroom.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F04\u002F29\" data-image-width=\"6000\" data-image-height=\"3376\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EHoused at the center of the robot is a rectangular dustbin with a 700ml capacity. Compared to the 400 to 600ml sizes of similarly-priced vacuums, the Neato D10 is favorable for cleaning larger rooms and spaces. But also, for small to medium-sized flats like mine, the 700ml size just means that you'll be cleaning the dustbin less often. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe robot's dustbin size is an aspect you shouldn't take for granted because the Neato D10 does not come with an auto-empty base station. Unlike most high-end models that are bundled with the companion accessory, you'll have to dispose the innards of the D10 manually every time. Fortunately, it's very easy to pop the dustbin lid up, give the HEPA filter a wipe, and pop it back in. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso: \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fhome-and-office\u002Fkitchen-household\u002Fbest-cheap-vacuum\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003EBest cheap vacuums: Affordable and reliable vacs\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFor on-device controls, the Neato D10 has a power button, an information and pairing button, and two LED indicators for Wi-Fi and battery. There's also a built-in LiDAR sensor to help the robot digitally map your room layout and avoid objects when roaming around. Using a LiDAR sensor, Neato says the D10 doesn't need a dedicated camera for object detection and can serve as a non-intrusive smart home gadget. You won't find any hidden cameras or mics on this robot. There is, however, a speaker, which the robot uses to communicate its boot-up, low battery signal, and errors.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe baseplate of the D10 is equipped with two brushes. The main Helix multi-surface brush is made to sweep up dust and debris off of any surface -- including hardwood, carpets, and tiles. At its aid, a 360-degree side brush spins leftover particles toward the center of the vacuum. You can detach and replace both brushes if ever needed. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"d1120636-30f0-4c99-9e4b-4b8e14eea7d5\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EThe Helix multi-surface brush is a blend of bristles and rubber.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"June Wan\u002FZDNet\" data-image-alt-text=\"neato-d10-blades.jpg\" data-image-filename=\"neato-d10-blades.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F04\u002F29\" data-image-width=\"6000\" data-image-height=\"3376\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EPerformance\u003Cbr\u003E\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMy experience with the Neato D10's performance is very positive.

First, the D10 successfully detected the ledge between my kitchen tiles and the living room hardwood and kept itself safe. More impressively, it does so with little to no space and performs a k-turn maneuver to get back on track (as shown in the first half of the video). \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESecondly, the D10 uses bump sensors, as heard by the clicking sounds when the vacuum makes impact with a wall or piece of furniture. The spring-loaded guard saves and registers the points of contact onto the MyNeato app so that the robot can adjust its route during future cleaning sessions. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ELastly, the Neato D10 produces, on average, 69dB of sound. It's not distractingly loud, especially if you have the vacuum set to Eco mode, but certainly not an appliance you'll want to leave on during a Zoom meeting. That's why I've gotten into the habit of scheduling the robot -- which you can do within the app -- as I'm preparing breakfast in the morning and at night when I'm showering. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"f5393011-8c3a-497c-b33a-d1729d7014d1\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EThe MyNeato app serves a control hub to locate, start and pause the vacuum, and toggle between cleaning modes.&nbsp;\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"June Wan\u002FZDNet\" data-image-alt-text=\"neato-d10-app-screenshots.jpg\" data-image-filename=\"neato-d10-app-screenshots.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F04\u002F29\" data-image-width=\"4608\" data-image-height=\"3176\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe Neato D10 can switch between three cleaning modes: Eco, Turbo, and Max. As the name suggests, Eco saves you the most energy (battery life) in exchange for suction power. Naturally, it's also the quietest mode. For hardwood cleaning, I'd found Eco mode more than suitable for the job. But for carpets and rougher flooring, Turbo and Max mode were the way to go. Turbo kicks things up a notch with greater power and battery consumption, while Max mode, well...takes things to the max.

Your mileage will vary, especially if you plan to use the Turbo or Max cleaning modes. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBut when the Neato D10 does need to charge, it will automatically return to its charging base, top itself up, and navigate back to where it left off.

The first step, after getting a toaster oven, is to learn how to use it. Some parts may be familiar, but there are many tips and tricks to uncover if you want to get the most out of your new appliance.  \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EHow to use a toaster oven\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBefore using your new kitchen appliance, it needs to be set up.

Remember, these are small ovens, and they can get quite hot, so it's vital to place them somewhere where it won't be a fire hazard. A clean, dry section of the countertop can work well.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOnce the toaster oven is safely arranged and plugged in, it's time to consider what you want to cook with it. While many types of food can be cooked in these appliances, it's sometimes best to review the different styles they can use.

Thanks to the appliance's compact size, getting your food close to the heating element is more accessible and less energy-intensive than a traditional oven. Depending on the model, you may have multiple rack heights to choose from. With broiling, you want the food as close to the heating element as it can get without touching it, and this can mean placing the rack on a higher shelf.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EMany types of food can be broiled in a toaster oven. Still, some of the more recommended options are foods like seafood and small vegetables. A fish filet with a light side of vegetables is an excellent example. Because broiling heats the surface of your food at a higher rate than the interior, it won't work with anything too thick (by the time the interior is cooked, the outside will be burnt).\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOnce you've chosen your meal, arrange the food on the baking pan and place it on the rack. From here, cook times will depend on your food and the toaster oven itself. Different brands and models vary in their strength, design, and size, leading to different cook times. Consult the manual for your toaster oven to see recommended cook times.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBaking\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOne thing that these appliances can excel at is baking. Especially with smaller dishes that don't need the full size of a traditional oven. Small batches of cookies, a chicken breast or two, or even casseroles and lasagnas. Any of these dishes might be baked in the appropriately sized toaster oven.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBaking takes longer than broiling, even in these compact appliances. However, baking a small meal can be much faster than using a traditional oven with the right toaster oven. A significant part of this is the relative size. Toaster ovens have a lot less space that they need to heat. The trade-off is in how much food you can cook at once.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EBaking in these is often as easy as setting the mode to 'bake' and choosing the desired temperature. Next, place the food you want to bake in an appropriate container and put that in the toaster oven. Whether making cookies on a baking sheet or lasagna in a casserole dish, baking with the toaster oven is like a full-sized oven in principle. Beyond safety, the essential parts are to have the right time and temperature.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Chr\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ESee also: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Farticle\u002Fbest-toaster\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EBest toasters 2021: Cuisinart, KitchenAid, Breville, and more compared\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Chr\u003E\u003Ch2\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERoasting\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003ERoasting usually uses the same cooking mode as baking, with the main difference being that roasting uses higher temperatures.

A good toaster oven can roast many tasty things, from a small roast beef to fish filets, bacon, and vegetables.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo roast food, use the bake setting on your toaster oven.

While not as fast as a microwave, defrosting with a toaster oven is still a quick method.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ETo defrost, place the frozen food in a safe container within the appliance.

It cooks from the inside while slowly browning the exterior. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EIn addition to broiling and baking, conventional ovens can also provide extended functionality, including toasting and roasting. While roasting relies upon a slower cooking method to surround an item with hot air, toasting is used to brown the exterior only when there's no need to cook the interior further, like letting the cheese melt and brown to finish off a cooked casserole.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E What to oven-bake \u003C\u002Fh4\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"143d0ed5-365a-46a0-b4f8-7e059add65f7\" data-size=\"large\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Samsung\" data-image-alt-text=\"Roast in an oven\" data-image-filename=\"samsung1.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F07\u002F01\" data-image-width=\"1454\" data-image-height=\"818\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EA conventional oven can prepare a wide assortment of baked, broiled, and roasted foods, including popular items like pizza, meats, vegetables, casseroles, bacon, bread, muffins, cheesecake, and many more.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch4\u003E Benefits of oven-baking \u003C\u002Fh4\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"159e6ae4-7e1a-4df1-be8a-dc00779aea12\" data-size=\"large\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Screenshot from Samsung\" data-image-alt-text=\"Taking food out of a Samsung oven\" data-image-filename=\"samsung2.jpg\" data-image-date-created=\"2022\u002F07\u002F01\" data-image-width=\"1454\" data-image-height=\"818\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EOven-baking brings a whole host of benefits that can be incredibly helpful to your health:\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cul\u003E\u003Cli\u003E \u003Cstrong\u003ENo oil needed:\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E Unlike an air fryer, you do not need to add an extra drop of oil to oven-bake your food, unless the recipe calls for it.

This year, it falls on Nov. 29.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESince Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, many people are off through the weekend, so retailers have capitalized on this day, the last national holiday before Christmas.

The fact that Black Friday is one of the last major shopping events of the year results in some retailers giving big discounts on the current product stock in preparation for new devices launching in the new year.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat's the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThough there are many online deals, Black Friday has been historically a mostly in-person shopping event where people visit a brick-and-mortar store. With most big box stores featuring an online store, Black Friday online shopping has become as common as Amazon Prime Day shopping. Cyber Monday began and remains an online shopping event for online stores to capitalize on customers who may have missed a Black Friday deal and can shop from home or work on Monday.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EHow did we choose these Black Friday deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs a robot vacuum tester at ZDNET, I've become familiar with these devices' unique features and tested different models in every price range.

The short answer? It did, with some caveats. Keep reading for the long answer. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe TK-02 is equipped with lots of tech. The setup requires a Wi-Fi connection and the downloading of the Terra Kaffe app, where you can customize your drinks and schedule brew times. Inside the machine, you'll find a proprietary auto-adjust grinder that will grind your beans for your desired beverage, a 16-oz hopper for pouring whole beans into, a chute for pre-ground coffee, a precision milk frothing dial, and front access components with MagSnap that secure everything into place. Attachments include the plastic square milk container for hooking up to the machine. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYou can buy the square machine in white or black, but both colorways give off a futuristic, office-like vibe. After a while, my roommates and I began referring to the TK-02 as \"The Printer.\" Look elsewhere if you want a cozy, nostalgic coffee machine. The TK-02 is modernist and minimalist to the fullest. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe setup was fairly simple, even if the app's connectivity faltered once or twice before finally joining the network. Over the course of a month, my three roommates and I used the machine to brew our coffees of choice. Testing with a variety of beans, I found the TK-02 works best with drip coffee and cold espresso drinks. It brews a rich and strong cup of drip coffee in an instant that is so simple and good that it makes me want to ditch my 10-minute pour-over routine. The espresso comes out rich with some signature crema, the foamy bit at the top of the drink. The reason I say the machine is great for cold espresso drinks is because the TK-02 fails to get super hot. It will produce above-luke-warm temperature espresso and, paired with the milk frother, you'll have a not-hot latte on your hands. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fhome-and-office\u002Fthis-nespresso-machine-brews-barista-quality-coffee-at-home-and-its-30-off-ahead-of-black-friday\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThis Nespresso machine brews barista-quality coffee -- and it's 30% off\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI can see this machine best suiting a small office setting or large family because of its diversity and range of drinks it can make (and because of the in-app customization). Whether you're frothing oat milk, almond, or dairy milk, the frother returns a fairly airy dollop of milk to your mug. The in-app customization and scheduling of drinks allow everyone in your home or office to get their signature drink just right every morning. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFrom an efficiency standpoint, the TK-02 makes lots of sense. It satisfies the most amount of coffee preferences within one sleek design that will look cool on any countertop. Plus, it's an espresso machine with a grinder attached (grinders tend to be additional purchases that don't normally come with espresso machines) and it actually makes a good cup of drip coffee -- that's hard to come by. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe machine is not without its flaws. The first is how regularly it will release steam, even when you think it's turned off. Over time, this leads to a lot of wasted water and a few jumpscares in the middle of the night. The second is the drip tray design that holds excess coffee grounds and water, which you have to remove and dispose of. It's a large tray that brims with water. Make one wrong move while bringing it to the sink (like not holding it exactly flat) and water and beans will splash onto the ground. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe frother's form factor could also be improved. The tube that transports the milk from the plastic square container into your drink is tough to clean and, if left unattended, could be a haven for bacteria. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe \u003Cspan data-shortcode=\"commercelinkshortcode\" data-id=\"b9dfdaf0-9a3b-4a2b-b4a2-3f502a0068a3\" data-raw-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.terrakaffe.com\u002Fproducts\u002Ftk-02\" data-link-shortcode-text=\"TK-02\" data-use-monetization=\"true\" data-edition=\"us\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E isn't perfect, but it offers an opportunity for all sorts of coffee drinks to be made in one sleek device that also comes attached with a coffee grinder for the freshest possible drink every morning. I wouldn't recommend this to an individual, but I think it'd be great in a small office or large family environment where you're dealing with all sorts of coffee preferences. Some design flaws and the lukewarm temperature of milk-based drinks makes this not worth the full price. Luckily it's on sale. You can get $500 off of the TK-02 right now, bringing the price down to $1,195. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EWhen will this deal expire? \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDeals are subject to sell out or expire at any time, though ZDNET remains committed to finding, sharing, and updating the best product deals for you to score the best savings.

This year, it falls on Nov. 29.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESince Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, many people are off through the weekend, so retailers have capitalized on this day, the last national holiday before Christmas.

The fact that Black Friday is one of the last major shopping events of the year results in some retailers giving big discounts on the current product stock in preparation for new devices launching in the new year.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat's the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThough there are many online deals, Black Friday has been historically a mostly in-person shopping event where people visit a brick-and-mortar store. With most big box stores featuring an online store, Black Friday online shopping has become as common as Amazon Prime Day shopping. Cyber Monday began and remains an online shopping event for online stores to capitalize on customers who may have missed a Black Friday deal and can shop from home or work on Monday.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EHow did we choose these Black Friday deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs a robot vacuum tester at ZDNET, I've become familiar with these devices' unique features and tested different models in every price range.

The short answer? It did, with some caveats. Keep reading for the long answer. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe TK-02 is equipped with lots of tech. The setup requires a Wi-Fi connection and the downloading of the Terra Kaffe app, where you can customize your drinks and schedule brew times. Inside the machine, you'll find a proprietary auto-adjust grinder that will grind your beans for your desired beverage, a 16-oz hopper for pouring whole beans into, a chute for pre-ground coffee, a precision milk frothing dial, and front access components with MagSnap that secure everything into place. Attachments include the plastic square milk container for hooking up to the machine. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYou can buy the square machine in white or black, but both colorways give off a futuristic, office-like vibe. After a while, my roommates and I began referring to the TK-02 as \"The Printer.\" Look elsewhere if you want a cozy, nostalgic coffee machine. The TK-02 is modernist and minimalist to the fullest. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe setup was fairly simple, even if the app's connectivity faltered once or twice before finally joining the network. Over the course of a month, my three roommates and I used the machine to brew our coffees of choice. Testing with a variety of beans, I found the TK-02 works best with drip coffee and cold espresso drinks. It brews a rich and strong cup of drip coffee in an instant that is so simple and good that it makes me want to ditch my 10-minute pour-over routine. The espresso comes out rich with some signature crema, the foamy bit at the top of the drink. The reason I say the machine is great for cold espresso drinks is because the TK-02 fails to get super hot. It will produce above-luke-warm temperature espresso and, paired with the milk frother, you'll have a not-hot latte on your hands. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fhome-and-office\u002Fthis-nespresso-machine-brews-barista-quality-coffee-at-home-and-its-30-off-ahead-of-black-friday\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThis Nespresso machine brews barista-quality coffee -- and it's 30% off\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI can see this machine best suiting a small office setting or large family because of its diversity and range of drinks it can make (and because of the in-app customization). Whether you're frothing oat milk, almond, or dairy milk, the frother returns a fairly airy dollop of milk to your mug. The in-app customization and scheduling of drinks allow everyone in your home or office to get their signature drink just right every morning. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFrom an efficiency standpoint, the TK-02 makes lots of sense. It satisfies the most amount of coffee preferences within one sleek design that will look cool on any countertop. Plus, it's an espresso machine with a grinder attached (grinders tend to be additional purchases that don't normally come with espresso machines) and it actually makes a good cup of drip coffee -- that's hard to come by. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe machine is not without its flaws. The first is how regularly it will release steam, even when you think it's turned off. Over time, this leads to a lot of wasted water and a few jumpscares in the middle of the night. The second is the drip tray design that holds excess coffee grounds and water, which you have to remove and dispose of. It's a large tray that brims with water. Make one wrong move while bringing it to the sink (like not holding it exactly flat) and water and beans will splash onto the ground. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe frother's form factor could also be improved. The tube that transports the milk from the plastic square container into your drink is tough to clean and, if left unattended, could be a haven for bacteria. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe \u003Cspan data-shortcode=\"commercelinkshortcode\" data-id=\"b9dfdaf0-9a3b-4a2b-b4a2-3f502a0068a3\" data-raw-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.terrakaffe.com\u002Fproducts\u002Ftk-02\" data-link-shortcode-text=\"TK-02\" data-use-monetization=\"true\" data-edition=\"us\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E isn't perfect, but it offers an opportunity for all sorts of coffee drinks to be made in one sleek device that also comes attached with a coffee grinder for the freshest possible drink every morning. I wouldn't recommend this to an individual, but I think it'd be great in a small office or large family environment where you're dealing with all sorts of coffee preferences. Some design flaws and the lukewarm temperature of milk-based drinks makes this not worth the full price. Luckily it's on sale. You can get $500 off of the TK-02 right now, bringing the price down to $1,195. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EWhen will this deal expire? \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDeals are subject to sell out or expire at any time, though ZDNET remains committed to finding, sharing, and updating the best product deals for you to score the best savings.

This year, it falls on Nov. 29.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003ESince Thanksgiving is always on a Thursday, many people are off through the weekend, so retailers have capitalized on this day, the last national holiday before Christmas.

The fact that Black Friday is one of the last major shopping events of the year results in some retailers giving big discounts on the current product stock in preparation for new devices launching in the new year.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EWhat's the difference between Black Friday and Cyber Monday?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThough there are many online deals, Black Friday has been historically a mostly in-person shopping event where people visit a brick-and-mortar store. With most big box stores featuring an online store, Black Friday online shopping has become as common as Amazon Prime Day shopping. Cyber Monday began and remains an online shopping event for online stores to capitalize on customers who may have missed a Black Friday deal and can shop from home or work on Monday.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch3\u003EHow did we choose these Black Friday deals?\u003C\u002Fh3\u003E\u003Cp\u003EAs a robot vacuum tester at ZDNET, I've become familiar with these devices' unique features and tested different models in every price range.

The short answer? It did, with some caveats. Keep reading for the long answer. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe TK-02 is equipped with lots of tech. The setup requires a Wi-Fi connection and the downloading of the Terra Kaffe app, where you can customize your drinks and schedule brew times. Inside the machine, you'll find a proprietary auto-adjust grinder that will grind your beans for your desired beverage, a 16-oz hopper for pouring whole beans into, a chute for pre-ground coffee, a precision milk frothing dial, and front access components with MagSnap that secure everything into place. Attachments include the plastic square milk container for hooking up to the machine. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EYou can buy the square machine in white or black, but both colorways give off a futuristic, office-like vibe. After a while, my roommates and I began referring to the TK-02 as \"The Printer.\" Look elsewhere if you want a cozy, nostalgic coffee machine. The TK-02 is modernist and minimalist to the fullest. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe setup was fairly simple, even if the app's connectivity faltered once or twice before finally joining the network. Over the course of a month, my three roommates and I used the machine to brew our coffees of choice. Testing with a variety of beans, I found the TK-02 works best with drip coffee and cold espresso drinks. It brews a rich and strong cup of drip coffee in an instant that is so simple and good that it makes me want to ditch my 10-minute pour-over routine. The espresso comes out rich with some signature crema, the foamy bit at the top of the drink. The reason I say the machine is great for cold espresso drinks is because the TK-02 fails to get super hot. It will produce above-luke-warm temperature espresso and, paired with the milk frother, you'll have a not-hot latte on your hands. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAlso: \u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.zdnet.com\u002Fhome-and-office\u002Fthis-nespresso-machine-brews-barista-quality-coffee-at-home-and-its-30-off-ahead-of-black-friday\u002F\" target=\"_blank\"\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EThis Nespresso machine brews barista-quality coffee -- and it's 30% off\u003C\u002Fstrong\u003E\u003C\u002Fa\u003E\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EI can see this machine best suiting a small office setting or large family because of its diversity and range of drinks it can make (and because of the in-app customization). Whether you're frothing oat milk, almond, or dairy milk, the frother returns a fairly airy dollop of milk to your mug. The in-app customization and scheduling of drinks allow everyone in your home or office to get their signature drink just right every morning. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EFrom an efficiency standpoint, the TK-02 makes lots of sense. It satisfies the most amount of coffee preferences within one sleek design that will look cool on any countertop. Plus, it's an espresso machine with a grinder attached (grinders tend to be additional purchases that don't normally come with espresso machines) and it actually makes a good cup of drip coffee -- that's hard to come by. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe machine is not without its flaws. The first is how regularly it will release steam, even when you think it's turned off. Over time, this leads to a lot of wasted water and a few jumpscares in the middle of the night. The second is the drip tray design that holds excess coffee grounds and water, which you have to remove and dispose of. It's a large tray that brims with water. Make one wrong move while bringing it to the sink (like not holding it exactly flat) and water and beans will splash onto the ground. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe frother's form factor could also be improved. The tube that transports the milk from the plastic square container into your drink is tough to clean and, if left unattended, could be a haven for bacteria. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cp\u003EThe \u003Cspan data-shortcode=\"commercelinkshortcode\" data-id=\"b9dfdaf0-9a3b-4a2b-b4a2-3f502a0068a3\" data-raw-url=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.terrakaffe.com\u002Fproducts\u002Ftk-02\" data-link-shortcode-text=\"TK-02\" data-use-monetization=\"true\" data-edition=\"us\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fspan\u003E isn't perfect, but it offers an opportunity for all sorts of coffee drinks to be made in one sleek device that also comes attached with a coffee grinder for the freshest possible drink every morning. I wouldn't recommend this to an individual, but I think it'd be great in a small office or large family environment where you're dealing with all sorts of coffee preferences. Some design flaws and the lukewarm temperature of milk-based drinks makes this not worth the full price. Luckily it's on sale. You can get $500 off of the TK-02 right now, bringing the price down to $1,195. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Ch2\u003EWhen will this deal expire? \u003C\u002Fh2\u003E\u003Cp\u003EDeals are subject to sell out or expire at any time, though ZDNET remains committed to finding, sharing, and updating the best product deals for you to score the best savings.

Case in point: the Eufy X9 Pro uses AI to avoid objects, but whenever I sent it to clean the first floor, it'd get stuck between the kitchen barstools legs. The stools are fairly lightweight, so the robot would drag them around instead of signaling it was stuck.

For example, when other robot mowers slide down a slope sideways, it often disrupts their mapping, and instead of correcting their position, they continue from an incorrect spot. This results in missed patches and the mower winding up outside the coverage area. In my testing, the Luba 2 never fell victim to this glitch. Although it did slide down a few times, it always righted its positioning and maintained the same map. \u003C\u002Fp\u003E\u003Cdiv data-shortcode=\"image\" data-uuid=\"3ea1ae5b-b558-4b07-9eff-cc85df4fd849\" data-size=\"original\" data-float=\"none\" data-image-caption=\"\u003Cp\u003EThe Mammotion Luba 2 seamlessly navigates uneven terrain.\u003C\u002Fp\u003E\" data-image-credit=\"Maria Diaz\u002FZDNET\" data-image-alt-text=\"Mammotion Luba 2 robot mower\" data-image-filename=\"copy-a1ee16cb-93af-4d16-b7bc-d7e9fe3aa0f1.gif\" data-image-date-created=\"2024\u002F05\u002F10\" data-image-width=\"568\" data-image-height=\"320\" data-image-do-not-crop=\"false\" data-image-do-not-resize=\"false\" data-image-watermark=\"false\" data-lightbox=\"false\"\u003E\u003C\u002Fdiv\u003E\u003Cp\u003EUnfortunately, the Mammotion app isn't very intuitive; changing settings will require some menu hunting and trial and error.
