LG

CR also tested LG’s first up rights, the 300, 400, & 200, 300. They feature what LG calls a Compressor essentially a rotating blade designed to press dust & dirt in to less space & make emptying the bin less messy, a challenge with bag less vacuums. It worked on lint, hair, & other compressible debris. But the 300 was only so-so at delivering the tool airflow needed for cleaning couches. & those uprights were beaten by others that cost less.

Before you buy, CR offers the following tips for selecting a vacuum that truly meets your needs:

Upright or canister? Uprights tested better for overall carpet cleaning, but canisters offer simpler pushing & maneuverability,  on stairs. Start by deciding which would better suit your home’s needs.

Check the features. Look for edge-cleaning tools, along with suction control to protect drapes & a brush on/off switch to safeguard bare floors & prevent scattered dust & debris. For canisters, look for motor-driven heads, which tidy carpets more powerfully than air-driven versions. & don’t select a vacuum just for its HEPA filter claims; some models with regular Industrial Filters kept in dust just as well.

Don’t assume green means cleaner. The 300 Electrolux Ultra Silencer Green canister makes use of partially recycled plastic for its housing, but the lack of a powered head meant middling carpet cleaning. Eureka’s Environvac 3041 upright, 70, makes use of one-third less amperage than usual. But that amounts to roughly 3 in annual energy savings in case you vacuum an hour per week, with middling carpet cleaning.

Try before purchasing. Even if you’re purchasing online, visit a store first to try out an upright or canister. Push, pull, turn, & lift to see the way it feels.

Best LED TV



LED TVs have rapidly become incredibly popular, and are clearly emerging as the new standard in televisions. Technically an advanced type of LCD TV, LED TVs have conquered the market enough to fall into a category of their own, and are poised to give older LCD TVs a serious run for the money. The technology allows for a greatly improved picture quality compared to plasma, LCD and DLP TVs. As the price gap narrows between LED TVs and the rest, be sure to check out all the features to choose the best LED TV for you.

Everyone is buying LED TVs, and the smart ones are making sure those TVs are wi-fi compatible. After all, everything is going wireless these days, so why not your TV? Out of all the manufacturers of LED TVs, the brands that stand out by offering wireless capability are LG and Samsung. Out of these two, Samsung is the brand that is generally considered the leader of this particular market.

On the other hand, LG's plus points include the fact that their TVs tend to be less expensive while also getting excellent customer reviews. While you're going wireless, be sure to check that your new audio and video devices fit the bill, too - for starts, you can check out Sony's great new wireless Blu-ray player which comes at an attractive price tag.

Thanks to LED technology, added to which is the new line of semiconductors, video images are sharper than ever - you will enjoy deepest blacks, crisp whites and all-round color vibrancy in an overall viewing experience that is nothing short of spectacular. Higher contrast ratios of 500,000:1 and faster refresh rates at 250 Hz and above mean that you get picture quality that is beyond compare. Lifelike images and crisply displayed motion, even for high-speed content, takes TV viewing into the future.

Not only is the picture quality great on the best LED TVs, but they are designed to use significantly less power. On average, these televisions use 40-50% less power than comparable LCD TVs, making them easy on power resources as well as on your wallet - you'll find yourself paying less each month in utility bills. What's more is that no mercury is used in making these TVs. Mercury is toxic to the environment, and is generally used in LCD TVs so it's great that this TVs are made without this harmful substance.

As a general trend, the best LED TVs in today's market have consistently been coming from Samsung, clearly at the forefront of this technology. Not far behind are brands such as Sony and Toshiba. As the competition gets more fierce, prices of these TVs will consistently be lowered, and quality improved as kinks and bugs are fixed in the performance. Generally speaking it is recommended to go not for the top of the line models but the ones right below, for the best price-and-performance balance to get the best value for your money.

In these cases the performance of the TV is almost always comparable to the top-end model, and features offered tend also to be quite similar, but the difference in price is usually quite significant. In the past months alone, prices on these TVs have been dropping significantly so clearly now is the right time to jump in and buy.
