The air purifier and humidifier combo that could help you sneeze (and dust) less

The most technologically advanced blender we’ve ever seen, thanks to Panasonic. (Yes, Panasonic!)

The new Philips Sonicare for Kids power toothbrush: Like a babysitter for their teeth
As much as I love my five year-old son’s newfound independence in the morning, I have had to watch his toothbrushing like a hawk, at least until I tried out the new Phillps Sonicare for Kids Power Toothbrush. Now he can brush his own teeth, with way less...
