I’ve waited nearly a year to review this product so that I could better speak to it’s durability over time. I have to say, I was a bit wary of buying this because of some of the negative reviews, but I’m so glad I did!

Equipped with 18 volts of power, this cordless handheld vacuum works great for cleaning stairs, underneath furniture, and other areas around the home, as well as inside vehicles. The unit’s exclusive 10-position pivoting nozzle offers an integrated extension piece for 50-percent more reach in tight areas, while its cyclonic action helps keep the filter clean so suction power lasts longer. Choose from two speeds–high for maximum pickup or low for extended run time.

Accessories include an upholstery brush, a small crevice tool, and a wall-mountable charging base. Other highlights include three-stage filtration for clean air exhaust, an easy-to-empty system where hands don’t touch the dirt, and an EZ Clean Wheel system, which makes it simple to clean the filter and instantly improve suction power. In addition, its innovative design folds in half for compact charging and storing. With 35 air watts and an 11-5/6-ounce capacity, the handheld vacuum measures 17-4/5 by 6-4/5 by 7-2/7 inches and carries a two-year warranty.

Perfect for a small apartment or dorm room, this compact, countertop dishwasher holds four full place settings plus flatware in a separate basket. It offers two wash cycles (normal and heavy), a rinse-and-hold option, and optional drying. A beep signals the end of both washing and drying, while upper and lower spray arms provide thorough cleaning. The 1250-watt appliance shuts off when the door is opened, an alarm sounds if a problem occurs, and another automatic feature stops operation if the water overflows.

Installing the dishwasher is simple: the water hose connects to a sink faucet (connector included), and another hose drains into the sink. Clad in enameled steel, the dishwasher looks great and measures just 17-1/4 inches wide, 21 inches high, and 19-3/4 inches deep. It carries a one-year warranty against defects.
