"We love this little hand-vac because it's got a sleek design so it looks really great on your desk. It plugs into your USB port to charge so it's always handy, and in our tests we found that it did a great job cleaning between the computer keyboards and all around your desk surface," said Carolyn Forté, cleaning products director, Good Housekeeping Institute.

This JVC Everio S Camcorder for $350 gets thumbs up from Good Housekeeping if you want to upload your videos onto YouTube. "What really made this camcorder stand out is that it’s extremely compact, so that you can just stick it in your purse. It also has an easy, one-touch button that will allow you to upload your recordings to YouTube," said Rachel Rothman, engineer, Good Housekeeping Institute.

And Good Housekeeping says Breville’s Smart Oven for $250 is a pretty sharp oven/toaster combo. "It’s a beautifully designed unit with a blue LCD panel. It comes with nine preset options that you can fine tune by turning a dial. The performance was among the best we've ever seen from a toaster oven," said Sharon Franke, kitchen appliances director, Good Housekeeping Institute.

Good Housekeeping says the Breville Smart Oven comes with one rack, but it can be used in three positions. To learn more, check out the January issue of Good Housekeeping or visit www.goodhousekeeping.com.
