“I live in an apartment with a nice amount of windows and natural light, which also means dust and NYC debris are frequent visitors. To help keep seasonal allergies at bay and make the air in my apartment look and feel a bit cleaner, I opted for the Blueair 411i Max Air Purifier. Its sleek design blends in nicely in a corner of my bedroom while working its magic to eliminate dust and dander. It has several fan speeds and a convenient sleep mode that is so quiet, I forget it’s there. Since using it, my room is less dusty and now I can’t live without it.”—Perri Kressel, Senior Commerce Editor, Shopping & Deals

“Cooking spills, kid fingerprints, and pet hair seem to stick to our kitchen cabinets like glue, and the crevices in the Shaker-style trim only make the cabinets harder to clean. After conceding that all-purpose cleaning sprays weren’t doing our wood cabinets any good, I happened upon Rejuvenate Cabinet & Furniture Cleaner. Bingo! It removes almost all of the grime on our cabinets and hardware and leaves a nice sheen to boot. It’s safe for use around pets and children, so I don’t feel bad about making kitchen cabinet cleaning one of the kids’ weekly chores.”—Daryna Tobey, Deputy Editor, Service & News

3. Shark WV201 Wandvac Handheld Vacuum

“I’ve paid less for a full-size standing vacuum—that was my gut reaction when my wife showed me the handheld Shark Wandvac in our Amazon cart. However, this little handheld vacuum quickly made me eat those words (or rather, it sucked them right up), as it’s since become one of my favorite cleaning gadgets. Its lightweight, slender design reaches into all of the same crevices that my standing vacuum’s attachments can with none of the hassle, and it still packs the strong suction power I’ve come to expect from Shark vacuums despite its small size. And as a pet owner with at least a few cat hairs on virtually everything I own, I take great satisfaction in saying that my office chair and sectional haven’t been this fur-free since they came out of their respective boxes.”—Phillip Tinner, Editor, Service

Get the Shark WV201 Wandvac Handheld Vacuum at Amazon for $129.

4. Westinghouse WPX3200 Pressure Washer

“Cleaning hard outdoor surfaces without causing damage takes just the right amount of water pressure. The Westinghouse WPX3200 is just right. I use it to safely clean the deck, driveway, vinyl siding, lawn equipment, and patio furniture. The upright hand truck configuration takes up less space in storage and easily rolls across the yard. After 3 years, the engine still starts on the first pull.”—Mark Wolfe, Staff Writer

“Giving carpets and rugs a thorough clean is a relatively quick and simple way to freshen up a room. Eliminating any hidden dirt particles in those fibers really helps get rid of any musty odors, and if you add your favorite scented cleaning solution to the water tank, it leaves behind a fantastic fragrance that you’ll appreciate every time you enter the room. I use this Hoover model especially on my dog’s favorite rug that she likes to roll around on. Should I be doing this more than once a year? Probably…”—Paul Rankin, Editor, Commerce

After each shower, I use the durable silicone tool to remove water from the glass before it has a chance to dry and leave stains. This 10-second addition to my daily routine is a welcome trade-off for less deep-cleaning in the long run, and the streamlined design looks nice in my bathroom.”—Jenny Stanley, Executive Editor, Service & News
