What we like: A variant of our KitchenAid stand mixer picks.

Uses the bowl-lift mechanism.

Other things to know: We haven't tested this specific model, but we stand behind KitchenAid mixers. Our experience has shown them to be reliable and good performers. Certified refurbished with one-year manufacturer's warranty. Includes the stainless steel mixing bowl, a flat beater, dough hook, and six-wire whip. Use code SAVETEN24.

What we like: Another high-end Dyson vacuum worth considering. Dustbin is double the size of our top pick's bin. Auto mode preserves battery life by adjusting suction levels. Useful LCD screen.

What we like: A variant of our top pick for the best electric razor. The Series 7 has been our pick since 2015. This model offers the same high performance and consistently close, comfortable shaves as the pick in our guide, but lacks the cleaning base. Use wet or dry, rinse to clean.

Other things to know: Foil shaving screen needs replacement more or less annually, depending on use. Only comes with a 90-day Woot limited warranty. Shipping is free for Amazon Prime members.

What we like: Our runner-up pick for best smart sprinkler timer. Handles larger yards for less money than our top pick.

What we like: Our pick for the best mop-vacuum combo. Speedy, all-in-one cleaning tackles a range of messes better than competitors. Strong suction. More powerful and should be more durable than the countless cordless options out there.
