A robot vacuum and mop at 3.14 inches tall, for homes with low sofas and beds it can now clean under.
$750.00Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe Qrevo CurvX is Roborock's slimmest robot so far. Its LiDAR sensor drops down under low furniture, it rates 22,000 Pa of suction, and its chassis lifts to climb thresholds up to 1.57 inches. Two spinning mops lift off when it reaches carpet.
The dock does most of the upkeep: it empties the dust bin into a bag that lasts up to seven weeks, washes the mops in water heated up to 176°F, dries them with warm air and refills the robot's water. Next to the plain Qrevo Curv, this model adds the retracting sensor and more suction. If your floors are open and your furniture sits high, a cheaper robot without the slim body does the same job.
Worth knowing The dock is about 17.7 inches on each side and needs a spot near an outlet. Dust bags and mop cloths are parts you keep buying.

DEWALT's basic 20V MAX reciprocating saw, for anyone already on DEWALT batteries who needs to cut pipe, nails or branches.
$99.00Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThe DCS380B is a cordless reciprocating saw with a 1-1/8 inch stroke and up to 3,000 strokes per minute on a variable-speed trigger. Blades change without a tool through a lever clamp that holds them in four positions, and the shoe pivots and adjusts.
It suits demolition, cutting out old plumbing, and pruning. DEWALT's XR saws, the DCS382B and DCS384B, use brushless motors for longer runtime per charge, and the ATOMIC DCS369B is a smaller one-handed saw for light work.
Worth knowing Tool only: no battery or charger in the box. DEWALT lists this model as discontinued, so it is an older design than the brushless XR saws.

Brooks Men's Ghost Max 3 Running Shoe (Select Sizes and Colors)
Brooks' high-cushion version of the Ghost, for easy runs, long walks and people who wear orthotics.
$91.95Shop on AmazonLowest price we've postedPrice as ofThe Ghost Max 3 puts a tall stack of soft DNA LOFT v3 foam under a rocker shape that rolls you from heel to toe, with a 6 mm drop. Its base is broad, which makes it feel steady without being a support shoe that corrects your stride. Brooks lists it for everyday running, walking and orthotics.
At 11.2 ounces for the men's shoe it weighs more than the regular Ghost 18, which Brooks suggests for runners who do not want as much cushion. It is built for comfort at an easy pace, not for fast workouts.
Worth knowing Only some sizes and colors are on offer, so check yours before you settle on it.

6 Kids & Toys
Melissa & Doug Self-Correcting Alphabet Wooden Puzzles with Storage Box (52 pcs) Wooden Alphabet Puzzle
Wooden letter-matching puzzles for preschoolers learning the alphabet, ages four and up.
$10.96Shop on AmazonPrice as ofThis set has 52 wooden pieces that make 26 two-piece puzzles, one for each letter. Each pair shows the letter in upper and lower case with a picture of something that starts with it, from apple to zebra. A piece fits only its own match, so a child can tell on their own when a pair is right.
It works for letter recognition and quiet, screen-free play, and the pieces store in a wooden box with a slide-in lid. A child who already knows all their letters will move past it quickly; it suits the stage just before that.
Worth knowing Meant for ages four and up. Fifty-two loose pieces go missing easily without the box.
