CR’s take: With a hose built into the design, the compact, cord-free Black+Decker Flex makes it easy to suction up debris in hard-to-reach places, like under a car seat or behind your washer. If you’re looking for a more powerful vacuum, consider our picks of the best stick vacuums or even trading up to a full-sized canister vacuum or upright vacuum. For example, one of our tests for surface cleaning involves dispersing Cheerios and noting how long it takes the vacuum to pick them all up.

In our ratings of handheld vacuums, you can find more details about how each model scored for cleaning ability, noise, and other criteria, as well as how other models fared. 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. The lens also has a wide-enough aperture to capture portraits that make your subject stand out from the background. The unit includes cleaning brushes and an adjustable claw for “grabbing” plates and bowls via the press of a trigger. It uses the rotation of the sponge grips to move the dish through its various brushes, making sure every bit of food residue is thoroughly scrubbed off.Furthermore, traditional dishwashers require a significant amount of water and energy to operate, which can be costly and environmentally unfriendly. The only downside to its small size is the small dust bin, which may have to be emptied more than once if you have a sizable spill.

Those with arthritis and limited hand mobility in may benefit from such a device, but it still won’t work with non-round plates, nor will it work with large plates or glassware. To operate the unit, you slide a dish in between the round brushes, all the way to the bottom, then squeeze the handle so that the arms grab onto the dish. Shooting underwater in a swimming pool with the TG-7 was easy, and we never felt as if the camera would slip out of our hands. Upon first sight, the dishwasher reminded me more of a “face hugger” from the movie Alien than a useful kitchen gadget!This model doesn’t come with detachable tools but has a built-in slide-out crevice tool and a pop-out brush. If you plan to bring a camera with you when you go rock climbing, skiing, or snorkeling, it makes the most sense to have a waterproof tough camera that can withstand modest falls and can work while completely submerged underwater. I only used a nine-inch plate for my tests, and it was apparent that this device is clearly designed for smaller dishes.

It also comes with a removable battery that’s compatible with other Ryobi 18V tools, and the charger can be easily wall-mounted. You can operate the camera remotely or send images to your smartphone through the OM Image Share app ( Android, iOS).The brightest portions of the images we took with this Ricoh camera also appeared more blown-out (overexposed) than corresponding areas in the photos from our OM System top pick. Previously, over 13 years he covered cameras and other photo-related items for CNET and Popular Photography.

However, the device is not only aimed at those who want to outsource the dishwashing task to a robot and keep their hands 'clean'. It also comes with a rubber pet-hair attachment that helps remove more hair because it doesn’t stick to the rubber and goes directly into the suction tube. This Black+Decker earns an excellent rating for cleaning edges, perfect for corralling those errant Cheerios.

The dustbin is slightly difficult to remove, and you might have to reach inside it to eject all the gunk when emptying this model over a trash can.

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. Whether you're dealing with dinner plates, soup bowls, or coffee mugs, this device has got you covered. CR’s take: The cordless Black+Decker DustBuster picked up almost all the debris in our bare floor and carpet tests, no small feat for a handheld vacuum.
