Buying guide

A useful upgrade beats another gadget.

Name the repeated task you want to make easier. Measure the counter, cupboard or storage space before comparing models.

Include cleaning time, replacement parts and consumables in the decision. Check return terms and whether the product duplicates something you already own.

A lower price doesn’t create value if the product won’t get used.
