Editors' Picks: The Splurge Items That Make Our Lives 10 Times Better

"I resisted purchasing the Dyson Cyclone V10 Animal Cordless Stick Vacuum ($550) for years. When my kids were toddlers and dropping crumbs all over the place, I purchased an inexpensive handheld, cordless vacuum that I had to replace every year when it would lose its charge after a few minutes or just stop sucking up the messes. When we welcomed our chocolate lab into our family last year, everyone warned me that I would be drowning in freshly shed hair every day, so I knew I needed to step up our vacuum game. I finally caved and bought the Dyson. It has been nothing short of life changing. It hangs and charges in our storage closet where I can quickly grab it and do a quick once-over of the floor every day or so. I can vacuum the entire apartment on a single charge, and it picks up every little hair — and it hasn't lost an ounce of its suction in the year that we've owned it. It is truly my best pandemic purchase, and I've never looked back." — Rebecca Gruber, SVP, branded content
"I never thought I'd be the type of person to wax poetic over a vacuum, but upgrading to a cordless Dyson genuinely changed my life — or at least my relationship to household chores. It's incredibly lightweight, but the suction is so powerful that I can vacuum my entire apartment in about 10 minutes. I'll never go back to a corded vacuum again!" —Annalise Mantz Lowenstein, editor
