The Best Dish Racks, Electric Kettle, and More

The best home theater gear, lawn mower, and more, in this week’s Sweethome newsletter. [View this email in your browser]( My personal favorite from the [dish rack guide]( is our upgrade pick, the humongous [Simplehuman stainless steel dish rack](. It’s a beast. Fully extended and deployed, it’s nearly two feet across with the glass holders and 19″ deep. But I cook big, wielding my [8-quart Dutch oven]( and [18″ by 13″ half sheets]( on the regular, and I need the SUV of dish racks to keep it all in place. —Ganda Suthivarakom [The Best Dish Rack]( After putting in [74 hours of research]( and doing the equivalent of 41 loads of dishes, we think the [Polder 4-Piece Advantage Dish Rack System]( is the best option for most kitchens. [The Best Gear for Building Your Home Theater]( We spent [thousands of hours on research and testing]( to find the best-looking and best-sounding home theater equipment that will take your at-home movie-watching setup from functional to enjoyable. Whether you have a dedicated theater room or are thinking of upgrading your living room, we have recommendations covering whatever space and budget you have. Next Week: The Best Electric Kettle After dozens of hours researching and long-term testing electric kettles, we think the [Cuisinart CPK-17]( is the best electric kettle for most people. [The Best Lawn Mower]( After [60 hours of research]( we’re sure the [Honda HRX217K5VKA]( is the best self-propelled mower for people mowing less than half an acre of lawn. [The Best Pressure Cooker]( The electric [Instant Pot IP-DUO60]( and stovetop [Fagor Duo 8-Quart]( are the best options we found after [40 hours researching and testing 15 pressure cookers.]( [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. We’ve seen the Roomba 960 hit this price only once before, so [this is a great time to pick it up](. The Roomba 960 is our upgrade pick in our guide to the best robot vacuums. Liam McCabe wrote, “For tougher jobs, like cleaning a large home or digging a lot of pet hair out of carpets, we really like the iRobot Roomba 960.” 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, we won’t send an email that day. Updates and Other Stuff - Though we tested the Ego ST1502-S Power+ when we first published our guide to string trimmers, Ego now offers only the [ST1502-F model](. The one difference we’re aware of between the two is that the ST1502-F has a rapid-reload head, so we feel comfortable recommending that version. [[Best String Trimmers]( Let’s be friends...
