    Pet Hair Everywhere? This $30 Roller Removes It From Places a Vacuum Simply Can't - CNET (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Among the many joys of having a cat is the daily battle with the mess they leave behind. No matter what you try, finding litter and pet hair on furniture or in your bed is inevitable — either they track it in, or you do. If you’re a pet parent like me, this means searching for additional bits of litter and stray hairs that find their way into places you really don’t want them, including the bed. Short of pulling the sheets off entirely, few fixes exist. I took a chance and tested the SandBar Rol

    Ninja CrushBoss Review: The Perfect Blender If You Hate Chopping Vegetables - CNET (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Where to put it? That’s the question that stops many of us from buying another countertop appliance. In my small kitchen, every new piece of equipment means pushing another one out. Larger kitchens have more room to work with, but even they can end up more cluttered than one would like. Eventually, you need to decide if you’ll use an appliance often enough to justify getting it. In my case, I’m much more likely to choose a multipurpose product like an Instant Pot pressure cooker or an air fryer.

    One of the biggest roadblocks for adding countertop appliances to your kitchen is storage. For folks with a small kitchen, myself included, the struggle often looks like a constant shuffle, trading one appliance for another in the pantry. This problem is less noticeable in larger kitchens, but you might end up with more clutter than you’d like. Eventually, you need to decide if you’ll use an appliance often enough to justify getting it. In my case, I’m much more likely to choose a multipurpose p

    Balmuda's Standing Fan Is Gorgous, but Is It Worth $400? I Tested One to Find Out - CNET (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Soon after finishing a round of tower fan tests, I met the Balmuda NatureWind Studio. The standing fan cost a whopping $429, putting it squarely in the premium category alongside Dyson’s Cool AM07. Wanting to give the Japanese home brand known for its high-end design a fair shake, I hauled in a sample to see what $400 gets you in a fan. While Dyson and Balmuda emphasize sleek design and whisper-quiet performance in their pricey standing fans, Balmuda offers understated quality — a thoughtful exa

    I Tried Breville's $300 Slot Toaster That Watches Bread So It Doesn't Burn - CNET (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    A toasted slice of bread is a simple pleasure and is often the subtle touch a meal needs. That’s one reason the humble toaster remains a mainstay in many kitchens, even in the age of air fryers. Toasters typically achieve doneness using time and temperature. The recently launched Breville Eye Q 850 Auto Toaster swaps those imperfect elements for a more modern approach. The Eye Q uses a pulsing internal sensor to watch the color of the bread as it toasts, only finishing when it hits the perfect r
