The Best Robot Vacuums, Bike Locks, and More

The best hybrid bikes, home theater projector, and more, in this week's Sweethome newsletter. [View this email in your browser]( Self-driving cars may be a few years from becoming widely available, but the most Jetsons-y appliance anyone can get today is the [robot vacuum](. Our new pick comes from the newish brand Eufy, which is part of Anker, a company known for its cheap-and-cheerful portable chargers and computer accessories. So it should be no surprise that one thing that sets the Eufy robot vac apart from the competition is a [battery life]( that lets it outlast nearly every other bot out there, which means it can cover a lot more floor over a longer period of time. And it's affordable, to boot. –Ganda Suthivarakom [The Best Robot Vacuums]( After testing eight models on more than 70 cleaning cycles over 10 weeks, we think the affordable, nimble [Eufy RoboVac 11]( is the [best robot vacuum]( for most people. Next Week: The Best Memory-Foam Mattress Topper After 24 hours of research and nine nights of testing, we think the best memory-foam mattress topper for most people is the [DreamFoam 2″ Gel Swirl](. It’s supportive and affordable, and it won’t make you overheat. [The Best Projector for a Home Theater]( If you need a great image for a dedicated home theater room, the [Sony VPL-HW45ES]( offers the [best combination]( of picture quality, light output, and value. [The Best Bike Lock]( We picked, chopped, and cut 27 [bike locks]( to pieces, and learned that the [Kryptonite Evolution Mini-7]( is the most affordable lock that will most likely need a power tool (accompanied by a lot of noise) to be defeated. [The Best Hybrid Bike]( We tested 14 new bikes in 2017, and the [Marin Fairfax SC1]( is our favorite [hybrid bike for commuters](. It comes with quality components and commuter-friendly features, without succumbing to the price creep we’ve seen on similar bikes. [The Best Deals We Can Find]( Because we think we can make a small difference by being picky, here are [some great deals]( on solid pieces of gear. One of our favorite deals from this week: a solid [25 percent off]( our [upgrade pick for the best bathroom scale](. For those who love a great deal, we’ve started sending out a daily newsletter of [the best deals we find]( each weekday. If we don’t find a deal worth sharing one day, we won’t send an email, but you can expect to see these deals sent to you on weekdays. Updates and Other Stuff - We considered seven new cordless stick vacuums, including variants of some of our top pick from Dyson, but we aren’t changing our picks. [[The Best Cordless Stick Vacuum]( - We’ve added our impressions of the customizable [Helix]( mattress to our piece. We’re testing the [Purple]( mattress now, and we should have results in early April. [[The Best Foam Mattresses You Can Buy Online]( Let's be friends...
