Amazon deal price: $30; street price: $40

What we like: Our top pick for the best flashlight. Waterproof and compact (picture a thick Crayola marker). Stands upright on its end. Wide range of brightness settings. Included rechargeable battery makes the brighter settings more powerful. Can also be powered by two AA batteries.

Other things to know: Very similar to our previous top pick (the 2A V3 model, now our runner-up pick), but is also compatible with its included rechargeable battery. Battery needs to be removed from the flashlight in order to charge. Flimsy belt clip. Recurring price drop.

Amazon deal price: $200; street price: $250

What we like: Our runner-up smart bird feeder pick. Has a sturdy build. Can identify about 1,000 species of birds using its proprietary database and spout more facts than a bird-trivia night. Can capture clips up to one minute long and store them in the cloud for a week.

Other things to know: Only streams in 720p resolution, but you can enable it to go to 1080p with the Bird Buddy Pro Subscription ($5 per month or $60 per year). Does not have night vision. Not as easy to fill as our top pick.

Igloo IGLICEBSC26 Ice Maker — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $80; street price: $110

What we like: Our more compact top ice maker pick. Makes nine bullet-shaped cubes in under 10 minutes. Smaller, lighter, and easier to stow away than our classic countertop ice maker pick. Clear, straightforward controls. Self-cleaning mode.

Other things to know: Slightly smaller reservoir requires more frequent refills. Like all bullet-ice makers, produces cloudy ice, which doesn't affect taste, but makes carbonated drinks go flat faster. Not very durable. One-year warranty. On sale in black.

Read more: The Best Countertop Ice Maker

Timemore Chestnut C2 Manual Coffee Grinder — Also Great
Amazon deal price: $55; street price: $69 (deal on black and gray)

Amazon deal price: $92; street price: $115 (deal on black and stainless steel)

What we like: Our upgrade French press pick. Offers the same superior filtration as other Espro models, plus better heat retention. Double-walled carafe. No danger it will shatter if you drop it.

Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro — Top Pick
Amazon deal price: $300; street price: $400

What we like: Our top air fryer toaster oven pick and our upgrade toaster oven pick. Performs just as well as an air fryer as it does a toaster oven. Specific settings for dehydrating, proofing, and slow cooking. Crisps up food faster than traditional toaster ovens. Large two-rack capacity. Multiple fan speeds.

Other things to know: Even on sale, notably more expensive than our other picks. "Super convection" fan speed is incredibly loud. Didn't toast bread quite as evenly as other picks. We'd prefer a pizza stone over the included nonstick pizza pan. Matches the lowest price we've seen.

Amazon deal price: $230; street price: $309

What we like: This glass-carafe version of our Technivorm Moccamaster pick has a hot-plate that's finely tuned to keep coffee warm without scorching it, a rare feat. And the coffee it produces tastes incredibly nuanced, too.

Other things to know: Lacks extra features of our other picks, like timers or complex settings, but coffee connoisseurs will appreciate the taste. Pricey, but its much longer warranty (five years) and Moccamaster's reputation for longevity make it a worthwhile investment. Will soon be added to our drip coffee maker guide.

Braun MultiQuick 5 Hand Blender MQ505 — Budget Pick
Amazon deal price: $53; street price: $65

Other things to know: Comes with a blending jar and whisk, but no chopper. You must push and hold the low-power or high-power button the entire time you're blending, which can get tiresome. Street price has risen since we posted over a year ago.

Momcozy S9 Pro Wearable Breast Pump — Budget Pick
Amazon deal price: $96; street price: $120

What we like: Our budget wearable breast pump pick. A great option if you’re willing to forego some perks, such as an app or timer. Once the pumps are fitted correctly, the suction is incredibly efficient. Flange made from food-grade silicone is surprisingly comfortable.

Other things to know: Fit, while comfortable, is awkward-looking. Parts feel cheaper to the touch, and there’s no app. The battery life doesn’t match the promise of six to nine pumping sessions, or 180 minutes. Recurring deal price.
