In conclusion, a robotic dishwasher offers a range of advantages that make it an essential appliance for any modern kitchen. To determine the best handheld vacuums, we filtered models based on their Overall Score, which is based on our rigorous lab tests. And its 4x zoom covers a full-frame-equivalent focal-length range of 25–100mm, which is enough to handle the majority of common shooting situations.

As soon as I had the plate inserted into the dishwasher, I could tell that the mess from the jelly, ketchup, and mustard would collect on the brushes and rollers of the automatic dishwasher as it spun. The lens also lets in less light than that of our top pick, however, so getting a shutter speed fast enough to make sure that bird doesn’t look blurry as it fidgets on the branch will be harder.CR’s take: The Hoover Onepwr BH57005 is part of the company’s cordless cleaning system, which enables you to use interchangeable lithium-ion batteries in products, including this model, stick vacuums like the Onepwr Blade Max BH53350, upright vacuums, and other floor-cleaning appliances. Many of the cordless models in our handheld vacuum ratings have longer-lasting lithium-ion batteries, and the run times for the models in our tests range from 9 to 23 minutes. In stylish silver with an LED display and touch control operation, this portable dishwasher does not require installation and can be set up in a flash with just a power supply, five litres of water and somewhere for the drain hose.

Tough cameras don’t capture images that look as nice as what you get from a mirrorless camera—or even your smartphone—but if you need a camera that can deal with rough treatment, they’re the best you can get. This handheld aces our bare-floor cleaning test, and it does well in other key cleaning tests, including cleaning carpet, removing pet hair, and getting grit out of the edges along walls.The OM System Tough TG-7 captured the best-looking images of the cameras we tested, and its 4x zoom lens provides a wide view but zooms in far enough for portraits or architectural details. That said, be aware that all rugged cameras trade image quality for toughness, so if you’re looking for an everyday camera, you’ll be better served by a non-rugged compact camera or mirrorless camera. It’s one of the quieter handhelds in our tests and comes with tools that help you get into especially tight spaces, like between the cushions of your car seats. When we took photos with both very bright and very dark areas, the camera chose an exposure that maintained more detail in the extremes than our budget pick did.
