Gone are the days when a cordless vacuum cleaner was a "break the bank" purchase. Look at this deal, for instance — at 50% off, this high-tech vacuum has tons of features that just make life easier, like an LED display, an anti-tangle brush and an approachable design.

You don't even need a straw with this handy number that's designed with its own straw — or pop open the top to chug away. You can easily fill it without opening the lid, and it's dishwasher-safe for easy cleaning. Over 1,000 were bought in the past month alone.
"This is a brilliantly designed water bottle," raved one hydrated fan. "It's slim, dishwasher safe, and keeps icy drinks cold well. The lid design is top-notch: Press a button and the clear top piece springs back to reveal a sip or straw option. Snap open the protruding piece below the button and the entire lid lifts back for chugging, which is what I always use. I can fill ice that way too. It's perfectly easy. I've used this bottle daily since purchasing it three months ago before this review to make sure it's really all it seemed to be. It is."
The surface of the 14-inch wok changes from black to blue at high temperatures, forming a non-stick surface. There's no chemical coating, so you don't have to worry about toxic substances and coating falling off. It comes with a stainless steel spatula, 6-inch cooking skimmer and wooden lid.
"Perfect!" gushed this fan. "I'm not experienced at all but you would never know. I made stir-fried rice and stir-fried vegetables with steak and chicken. It was perfect and nothing stuck. I love this wok! The wooden lid doesn't get hot and adds a lot of charm."

"What can I say, my husband was ecstatic and they are beautiful knives," reported this satisfied customer. "Great quality and super, super sharp, be careful when unpacking them. I would highly recommend."
Making a steak that doesn't resemble your dog's rubber chew toy is easier than you'd think. You need the right tools, of course, like this meat thermometer that takes all the guesswork out of grilling, roasting and baking.
"Easy and works!" raved one five-star fan. "I was so discouraged after having to return/throw away two other versions. This one automatically turns on when the probe is lifted up and shuts down when returned to the closed position. Fast reading."

It has everything all in one. Knife, fork and spoon in the lid with room for a couple of napkins. A great value for the money."
