Orig. $250 $133 at Amazon

With a HEPA filter and a washable carbon filter, this air purifier removes up to 99.97 percent of allergens from the air. The device monitors air quality with built-in sensors to automatically adjust the fan speed. We found that it’s particularly useful for pet parents, as it easily sucked up fur, while other models we tested had difficulty removing hair.

The Bissell Little Green Original ProHeat Steam Cleaner is one of our favorite carpet cleaners. The device is lightweight and has a handle on top, so you can easily carry it around into different rooms and up and down stairs. It uses Heatwave technology to maintain the water temperature as you clean and comes with two attachments: a tough stain tool and a stair tool. We even found it to be more effective and quicker moving than the original model in our testing.

T3 Smooth ID 1-Inch Flat Iron

T3 Smooth ID 1” Flat Iron with Touch Interface

Amazon

Orig. $249 $187 at Amazon

The cool thing about this straightener—our favorite for fine hair—is that you can input information about your hair (length, texture, and color treatment) so that it adjusts the settings for your specific hair type. There’s also a Refresh Mode that you can use to touch up your hairstyle while minimizing damage, so even day-two or -three strands will still look fresh. We also thought it was great for people with fine hair because of the temperature range, as you can use less heat.
