[View this email in your browser]( My parents are glasses-wearers who flooded every room of their house with interrogation-worthy fluorescent lights. I’ve been to the house of our floor-lamps guide writer, Gregory Han, and it is a wonder of warm, well-placed champagne light. Everyone looks good, everyone feels calm. I love his [guidance on floor lamps]( and how to use differently focused styles to get your room glow on. Reminder: [The Sweethome is moving over to Wirecutter soon]( which means this weekly newsletter will soon do so as well. New house, same stuff; we’ll do all the packing and moving for you, just keep an eye out for our new name and look in your inbox. —Ganda Suthivarakom [The Best Floor Lamps Under $300]( [After spending 30 hours]( researching hundreds of floor lamps and testing 15, we recommend five affordable, stylish options for task and ambient lighting. Next Week: The Best Lip Balm After reading dozens of lip balm reviews and testing eight kinds with a panel of people, we found [Maybelline Baby Lips]( is the best balm for most people. [The Best First Aid Kit for Hiking and the Outdoors]( [After 14 hours of research and tests]( of 12 wilderness first aid kits, we think [Adventure Medical’s Mountain Backpacker Kit]( is best for most weekend warriors. [The Best Beard Trimmer]( Tests at a barber shop with 13 beard trimmers prove the [Wahl Lithium Ion+ Stainless Steel 9818]( is the [best for most people](. [The Best Compression Socks for Most People]( [We considered dozens of compression socks]( and found that the [Sockwell Elevation Firm]( socks are the [best mix]( of a comfortably snug fit with durability and style. [Thermomix: What to Know Before You Buy]( The multitasking [Thermomix TM5]( is well-designed, efficient, and hugely popular abroad, but [most people shouldn’t spend $1,500 on it](. [The Best Neti Pot]( [After 30 hours of research and testing]( we’ve found that the [Aromatic Salt Premium Ceramic Neti Pot]( and [NeilMed Sinus Rinse Starter Kit]( are the best for nasal irrigation. [The Best Heating Pad]( We talked to experts, read hundreds of reviews, and tested seven top heating pads, finding that the [Pure Relief XL King Size]( is the [best for most people](. [The Best Tricycles]( [After a dozen kids test-rode 11 tricycles]( we’re sure the [The Joovy TriCyCoo 4.1]( is the best for most. [The Best Deals We Can Find]( Because we think we can make a small difference by being picky, here are [some great deals]( on solid pieces of gear. One of our favorite deals from this week: [EcoVacs Deebot N79](. Though we featured a deal on our top robot vacuum a few days ago, the coupon code quickly expired. This deal matches that previous low with a new coupon code: LWFMOG5G. Updates and Other Stuff - We’ve reviewed our entire guide and made updates to several of our picks, including [waffle makers]( and [lazy Susans]( along with a few smaller changes. [[Elements of Brunch]( - Our prior [heat-dry pick]( was abruptly discontinued, so we’re now recommending an even earlier pick, the [KitchenAid KDTM354ESS](. [[Dishwashers]( - [Our pick]( the [Oral-B Pro 1000]( is one of five Oral-B brushes to [receive the ADA Seal of Acceptance]( first for electric toothbrushes. [[Electric Toothbrushes]( - We’ve tested the new [Shark robot vacuum]( and have some notes on a new [Neato robot](. [[Robot Vacuums]( - We tested several new space heaters for fall 2017, and the [De’Longhi TRD40615T]( is our new runner-up pick for larger rooms. [[Space Heaters]( - The three-blade version of our [less expensive pick]( is no longer available, so we’re now recommending the five-blade version while we finish a new round of testing. [[Spiralizers]( - We’ve added a few suggestions for toilet cleaning gels to our [How to clean and maintain a toilet]( section. [[Toilet Brushes]( Let’s be friends...
