This 10-cup pitcher offers hands-free filling: the door opens when the stream hits the lid. Its filter is certified to NSF/ANSI 42 and 372, reduces 15 contaminants, and can last up to 200 gallons. A bit heavy to lift when full, which some may find a drawback.

It is a 10-cup pitcher that fills three 24-ounce bottles, and one filter is included. Filtering cuts chlorine from 1.2 to 0.1 ppm, while TDS barely changes. The indicator light tracks real filter use, not only calendar time. Filtering is not the fastest, the main trade-off here.

It is a 10-cup water filter pitcher with a filter that lasts 100 gallons. It reduces over 365 contaminants, among them PFAS, lead, fluoride, and microplastics. Setup is quick: priming the filter with the included bag took under 10 minutes. Filtering is slow, needing 20 minutes or more for the upper reservoir.

Its tank holds enough water to steam about four garments, or 15 to 20 minutes of steam, before a refill. A wide opening makes filling easy, and the on-off button does not need to be held down. Its long cord gives room to move, and it is sturdy enough for daily use.

Its small tank steams two to five garments, or about 8 to 10 minutes, before a refill. The head adjusts so you can steam at different angles, and the steam button need not be held. A metal plate lets it press like an iron, and it shuts off after 15 minutes still.

It gives steady, dry steam that does not sputter or leave clothes damp, suiting silk and delicate knits. It heats in about 20 to 45 seconds, and its flat plate and foam pad let it press like an iron. It shuts off after 30 minutes idle, but cotton and linen take extra passes.

Its 8-cubic-foot drum handled a king-size comforter and mixed loads with ease in testing. Its sensor predicted the dry time within 90 seconds of starting each cycle and delivered dry laundry without overheating it. It also has steam settings for dewrinkling, static reduction and quick refreshes, plus a 15-minute quick cycle. It is Energy Star certified.

This 7-cubic-foot electric dryer dried large loads, including a king-size comforter, in testing. Its Pet Plus cycle loosens and removes pet hair from dry clothes before washing, and it can get hot enough to kill fleas in pet bedding. It also has steam, sanitize and anti-static options and a seven-year parts and labor warranty.
