Best Vacuum Cleaner: Miele Polaris

Best Vacuum Cleaner: Miele Polaris

This Miele Polaris S4212 ($400) canister vacuum cleaner receives nothing but raves from owners. Everyone loves its incredibly light weight, which makes it extremely maneuverable. The Polaris works on hard floors or low carpet. Step on a button and the brushes retract to clean rugs or carpet. They may be expensive but Mieles easily last 10 years. My first Miele lasted 11, and I wouldn’t even have replaced it if I didn’t lust after this überlight Polaris so much.

Consumer Reports rated the LG WM2050C 4.0-cu.-ft.-capacity front-load washer ($610; shown with compatible gas dryer DLG2051W) a “Best Buy.” Reviews on Amazon.com agree, with one reviewer summing it up: “great washer, great value, highly recommended!” The LG minimizes vibration thanks to a TrueBalance anti-vibration system, produces no odor due to standing water in the door seal, and is energy- and water-efficient. It holds a lot of clothes, gets them very clean, and is quiet.

I have two of these. The Apple iPad ($500-$830) will change your life, mark my words. What do you use it for? It’s perfect for reading magazines, online shopping, social networking and surfing. The iPad will quickly replace about 30-40% of the time you spend on your laptop because it’s lighter and easy to take to bed…or to the bathroom for that matter.

The best peppermill does not hail from France, as you might suspect. No, it’s made right here in the fabulous U.S.A. Just like its tech counterparts, the nine-inch Magnum Plus ($45) comes in “pro black” and is the easiest and fastest high-capacity peppermill you can buy. Perfectly balanced, it grinds pepper almost effortlessly, something no self-respecting cook can do without.

The Weber Genesis E-310 gas grill ($700) is the best BBQ on the market today. Sure, you can spend $15,000 on a Kalamazoo K900HS, but unless mom and dad are lining your wallet with gold, you simply can’t beat the Weber on a price-performance basis, plus it looks very cool. If you want a sideburner, opt for the Weber E-320 ($750).
