“This indoor smoker is an investment, but it makes it incredibly easy to cook homemade barbecue, especially if you’re a beginner. The appliance is a little larger than a microwave or air fryer, and it comes with interchangeable racks and a temperature probe. You can program it to keep tabs on your barbecue and alert you when everything is ready, which makes it ideal for hosting. We tested it to cook up wings, salmon, and brisket — and you would never know that the food didn’t come from a traditional smoker. Everything had that irresistible smoky flavor, and even the seasoned barbecue experts in our families loved it.” — Jessica Mattern, senior director

12 minutes ago
People
“I’ve covered Apple tech for over seven years and didn’t love past iterations of AirPods, so I was blown away the first time I used these and tested the latest noise-cancelling mode. These earbuds include two listening modes, interchangeable and flexible tips that offer a more custom, comfortable fit, and a longer battery life. They help me tune out the noisy world, so I can run errands, listen to music, workout, walk around my neighborhood, commute, work at the office, and more in peace.” — Jessica Mattern, senior director

Bissell Little Green Carpet Cleaning Machine
12 minutes ago
“Before purchasing this cleaner, I used to believe that some stains simply couldn’t be treated, and I’m so glad I was wrong. This tool has removed countless spots from my beige couch, pet stains from rugs and carpet, food spills from dining room chairs, and that yellow color that starts to appear on mattresses over time. I’ve been able to get out tough, dried stains, like hardened toothpaste, thanks to the scrubber that’s attached to the sprayer. It’s a little bulky to store (it does not come apart), but I always make sure I have room in my closet for this tool.” — Jessica Mattern, senior director
Chemex Pour-Over Glass Coffee Maker
12 minutes ago
People / Russell Kilgore
“I’ve been a daily coffee drinker since 2010, and about nine years ago, I made the switch from Keurig to Chemex. I like the control that pour over gives me, and it’s become a morning ritual to pull out my kitchen scale, heat up water, grind fresh beans, and enjoy the blooming scent of coffee as I dribble water into the glass coffeemaker and let the brand’s special filter do its thing. (Pro tip: Skip the reusable filters — they affect the taste of your coffee.) Not to mention, it’s way prettier to look at than a traditional coffee pot.” — Laura Gurfein, shopping director

12 minutes ago
Amazon
“If you don’t have an electric toothbrush, (and I mean this in the kindest way) what are you doing? I got an Oral-B one similar to this model after my dentist recommended it to me a few years ago, and my teeth feel cleaner than ever. It also changes colors when you’re pushing too hard, and it vibrates every thirty seconds so you know when to move on to the next section of your mouth. It even lets you know when to replace the brushhead.” — Alyssa Grabinski, senior shopping writer
Terro Ant Killer Bait Stations

Amazon
“No matter how well I seal up food and window cracks, I get ants in my first-floor apartment every once in a while. The first time it happened, my mom told me that these were the gold standard in getting rid of ants, so I didn’t give a second thought to throwing them in my cart. And surprise, surprise: Mom was right! This year, I stationed them around my porch the second I realized they were returning, and they’ve been few and far between since.” — Laura Gurfein, shopping director
New Balance Women’s 515 V3 Sneakers
12 minutes ago
Amazon
“I’ve tested dozens of sneakers in search of a pair that are versatile, look nice, and most importantly, offer support, and these check every box. More so, they were recommended by my podiatrist who insisted that I abandon my old shoes, including my beloved ballet flats and other casual sneakers, that were causing me pain and discomfort. These 515 V3s offer a wide, roomy toe box, ensuring that my toes aren’t squeezed together and out of alignment. They also provide support to prevent my feet from overpronating (or leaning inward), which also causes me pain. Whenever I’m heading out for errands, a walk around the neighborhood, or a travel day, these are the shoes I grab.” — Jessica Mattern, senior director

It has significantly sped up my prep process, and now my cake batter is silky and lump-free. Even better, my baking confidence has soared since the mixer allows me to focus on the actual recipe rather than trying to get the hang of mixing, kneading, and whipping.” — Toni Sutton, shopping writer

Amazon
“Instead of attempting to run while holding my phone, AirPods case, and keys (or awkwardly tucking them into my tank top), I can secure all my essentials on this belt — which I barely notice while running. Even if you’re not a runner, it’s a convenient hands-free option for other activities, such as walking the dog, too.” — Maggie Horton, shopping writer
Greenies Pill Pockets
12 minutes ago
People
“My 16-year-old dog Nugget is truly a champion pill-taker — as long as it’s just one pill. But now that he takes multiple medications with each meal, I rely on these pill pockets. I used to stuff two or three pills in each pocket, but recently, I’ve taken to breaking them up, molding the squishy peanut butter-flavored stuff around each individual pill, and scattering them in his food bowl with the rest of his kibble. So that way, it’s like he’s getting more treats, which he very much deserves.” — Laura Gurfein, shopping director

It makes cooking feel effortless and is perfect for everything from hearty stews to one-pot pasta. The even heat distribution and easy-to-clean enamel make it a go-to in my kitchen.” — Toni Sutton, shopping writer

“I used to cover cleaning products extensively, so I’ve tested my fair share of laundry detergent. While I’m partial to pods, I noticed that sometimes they left behind a residue on my favorite clothes (like expensive activewear). I love these mess-free laundry power sheets because they couldn’t be easier to use, don’t take up much space in my laundry closet, and don’t leave behind residue. They come in a fragrance-free option, too.” — Erin Johnson, shopping editorial director

Egyptian Magic All Purpose Skin Cream
12 minutes ago
“I’ve been using this all-purpose best-selling balm for over 12 years. My son’s pediatrician recommended it to clear up stubborn diaper rash, and it worked like “magic.” Since then, it has become my holy grail: I use it to moisturize my lips and dry knuckles, remove make-up, and tame my wild eyebrows. It’s made from only five ingredients, goes on silky smooth, and just a dab goes a long way. It’s versatile enough to use from cheek to cheek and it’s been a staple in my daily routine ever since that rash cleared up.” — Jeaneen Russell, shopping writer

12 minutes ago
Amazon
“My dog Nugget is a 16-year-old beagle mix with arthritis, poor vision, and a spinal surgery in his medical history. All this adds up to difficulty comfortably eating and drinking from the bowls I’ve kept on the floor his whole life, so I bought this stand to get them closer to his face and eye level. I’m proud of how quickly he was able to adapt to finding his bowls in a different spot!” — Laura Gurfein, shopping director

It also converts into a handheld vacuum, which I use to banish pet hair, crumbs, and dirt that collect in the crevices of my couch. Plus, it doesn’t take up much space in my apartment. In fact, I barely even notice it when it’s on the charger.” — Toni Sutton, shopping writer
Olive and June Long-Lasting Nail Polish
12 minutes ago
People
“I used to go to the salon every two weeks for a gel manicure until that wreaked havoc on my nails, making them thin and brittle. I recently switched to DIY manicures at home, and I credit this polish with helping me achieve salon-level nails. It gives me a chip-free manicure that lasts over a week when I pair it with the brand’s top coat and dry drops. And to my surprise, it looks thick and glossy, just like a gel-manicure. And I get to skip the painful scraping that’s required to remove gel. Now my nails are stronger and look healthier, plus I’ve saved hundreds of dollars by painting them myself at home.” — Jessica Mattern, senior director

The fragrance-free formula is ideal for sensitive skin and always leaves my face feeling clean and ready for the day.” — Toni Sutton, shopping writer
Sweese Pasta Bowls
12 minutes ago
Amazon
“When I was short on kitchen storage space, I opted for these pasta bowls in lieu of plates and bowls, which can take up a lot of space. These bowl-plate hybrids or “blates” have a wide, flat bottom that resembles a plate and high sides, which keep everything inside, like a bowl. Every time I have friends come over, they rave about these fun and functional pieces, which are ideal for salads, pasta, stews, and snacks, like popcorn. It’s been five years since I’ve purchased them, and they still look like new.” — Jessica Mattern, senior director
