With the changing of the seasons comes dreaded allergies. And it seems purifying cleaning products and plants just weren’t cutting it for RD readers last month. The Shark purifier is a winner this month, and for good reason. It covers 1,400 square feet of space and the filter is super long lasting.

“With concern about viruses, pollution and poor air quality, I feel safer knowing the air in my home is healthy and clean,” writes our tester in her purifier review. “While running the purifier on auto mode, I’m able to consistently keep my air quality over 99%.”

Bell+Howell Swivel Power Strip

Fighting for the outlet is a thing of the past, at least when you have a Swivel Power Strip. It holds up to nine connections (six outlets and three USB ports) and swivels 180 degrees to adjust to your and your family’s liking. A surge protector prevents voltage spikes even if nine devices are charged at once. Take it (and a portable charger) with you on the go or keep it in a common area. Either way, this best-selling product is an everyday must-have.
