Best Laser Levels

Although the food items are the star of the show with Stonewall Kitchen, you’ll also find a few non-food items that enhance the overall experience of your gift. This particular gift basket comes with a tea towel and is packaged in a gorgeous basket that can easily be repurpo

class=If you like the IKEA Micke 28-inch desk, our best overall pick , but just need a bit more storage space, consider opting for the larger 41.3-inch version. This desk takes up a little more floor small Apartment interior design game challenges|https://smallspacenest.com/ space but includes the same large yet shallow center drawer, along with a side drawer and shelved cabi

Our tester used this laser level to arrange a 3-by-3 photo gallery wall indoors, and the results are impressive. That sort of task is difficult to get right without a tool like this, but it’s a breeze when the tool self-levels and provides both vertical and horizontal guideli

Typical top-loaders with a tall agitator are said to shorten the longevity of garments. Notably, some washing machines, like our best top-loading pick and our best for large families pick have a removable central agitator. That way, you can get the best of both wor

This tool is easy enough to use on DIY projects like installing a deck, aligning pavers, or grading and leveling soil (it blinks to let you know when it’s out of level), but it’s tough enough for light professional work as well. There’s no tripod included, but it has a threaded mount attachment that works with standard camera tripods , which we made use

Unlike cross-line laser levels (and other line levels), this rotary level works by attaching it to your wall with a detachable base. The base is held in place by a flip-out tack, so using it puts a tiny hole in your wall (similar to hanging a picture frame). But it’s nice that there’s no need for a tripod or any other hardw

While the IKEA Micke Desk is larger than its 28-inch counterpart, it’s still on the compact side, but not too compact to where you feel like you’re missing desktop space. Overall, this is a great option for those looking for a traditional office desk with stor

When selecting a laser level, it’s important to consider accuracy. Basic DIY projects like hanging some curtains or artwork don’t require the highest level of accuracy, but more complicated projects like installing a wall won’t come out right if your level isn’t accur

Now, the cord doesn’t auto-pull as you vacuum farther away, so be sure to pull out how much cord you need for your cleaning session from the start. (It does automatically rewind later on, thankfully.) There are several settings you can make use of and five attachments come in the box: a crevice tool, upholstery tool, parquet twister floor head, handheld mini turbo brush, and electro plus floor h

The manual recommends cleaning the pre-motor filters (the felt filter and the foam filter that are visible when you remove the dustbin) once per month, and replacing them every three months. In my time owning this vac, I've honestly washed them once—but I can't stress how easy it was to do. And, you can get a pack of two post-motor filters and four pre-motor filters for under

We tested 31 laser levels, using them to hang pictures, checking surface levelness, checking staircase slopes, aiding in the construction of built-ins around a large living room window, and other home improvement tasks. Each level was evaluated for ease of use, brightness of the laser, accuracy, and other fact

You’ll want to find a washing machine with a capacity that matches your average load size, because over-filling your washer means your clothes won't get super clean, and under-filling it means a waste of water and ene

When it comes to canister vacuums, we’ve historically been big fans of Miele products, given the quality and durability of the brand's machines. They’re investment pieces, but you’re paying for what you get: a very reliable workhorse. Right now, we’re especially loving the Miele Blizzard CX1 Cat & Dog Bagless Canister Vac

Like most IKEA furniture, assembling the Micke 28" Desk is quite tedious. It comes in many pieces, so having an extra set of hands is extremely helpful. However, the durability, compact silhouette, and affordable $60 price tag outweigh the assembly. And after moving it into my new space and having it for two years, it’s a desk I still recommend to every
