With scientists predicting some brutally hot summer days ahead, you'd do well to make sure you've got a good fan that's in working order. Through today, May 8, only, The Home Depot is offering up even greater discounts than the 40% off it's advertising on select ceiling fans as its deal of the day: This Monte Carlo Atizan 56-inch indoor/outdoor aged pewter ceiling fan is a whopping 67% off, falling from $374.38 to $125. With a solid 4.7-star rating, this five-blade design comes with a three-speed remote and features a weathered oak finish. Sizes for these fans range from 24- to 82-inches.

If you've had it with toiling away in the kitchen, give yourself a break from the oven with this handy Magic Chef 1.1 Cubic-Foot Countertop Microwave. Not only is it going for a great price, with the white model ringing in just under $60 (down from $69.98), it also just so happens to be one of our favorite countertop microwaves. When we tested it out, we found its reputation for being "built like a tank" to be more than accurate: This thing is built to last. It's also highly efficient, if basic, with plenty of power and space (1.1 cubic feet) to cook food thoroughly. Our one gripe? The interior light, which peters out when you open or close the door. Still, for this price point, we give it a solid thumbs up.

3. Save 50%: This mattress topper with a near-perfect rating
Sweet dreams. (Photo: Stylewell)
While nothing beats the Casper Mattress Topper in our eyes (currently on sale for $176 to $320, down from $195 to $355) thanks to its comfortable-yet-supportive feel and high-quality construction, those looking for a slightly more affordable option can check out this Stylewell Gel-Infused Memory Foam Mattress Topper, which is currently priced between $42.43 and $79.93, depending on sizing. Normally $42.43 to $159.87, that's a discount of 50%. More importantly, however, this topper has a 92% approval rating from Home Depot shoppers, who claim it's helped with pain from various hip and back ailments. It has cooling properties that will prevent you from overheating and it comes in a compressed packaging that will be ready for use 48 hours after delivery.

There's something uniquely satisfying about a matching set of, well, just about anything: pajamas, bath towels, underwear. But there are plenty of instances too when it pays to think outside the perfectly coordinated box. Exhibit A: kitchen appliances. While choosing a matching refrigerator, stove, and dishwasher might simplify the buying process, there are numerous reasons one might consider straying from a single appliance source: a serious baker might have their heart set on a statement stove, for example, but consider a similarly elaborate dishwasher a lower priority (or a financial impossibility). Other times, a renovator might choose to keep an existing refrigerator, but long for updates elsewhere.
Appliance shopping à la carte may require a bit more time and research than purchasing a package deal. But with proper planning, that added effort can result in a kitchen that's budget-friendly, versatile, and perfectly suited to both the visual and functional preferences of its resident cooks. Ready to curate the right combination for your space? Here are four tips to keep handy when selecting a mismatched suite.
If you're interested in mixing brands but not materials, consider starting with stainless steel. "If appliances are exposed and the kitchen demands finish continuity, stainless steel is an easy way to go," says Brooklyn-based designer Jennifer J. Morris. "Many manufacturers like Bosch and Sub-Zero will offer stainless steel appliances with different hardware options, but most feature a simple tubular shape—so even if they don't match, the individual pieces still look like they're part of the same family." Additional upsides to stainless? "It's easy to clean, and you're less likely to encounter fussy details that will clash with your other appliances."

If you're coveting a specific color or specialty finish, highlight one appliance "hero." In other words, if you've been lusting after a Smeg refrigerator in candy apple red, consider choosing a stove and dishwasher with fewer visual bells and whistles (again, stainless steel may be your best bet). "Unless you're really going for an eclectic, hodgepodge look, I'd recommend designating one 'eye candy' piece, and having the rest be support staff," Jennifer advises.
Designer Diego Rincon of Diego Alejandro Design agrees. "Say you've chosen a porcelain enamel range, which is almost like a piece of art on its own," he says. "Selecting accompanying appliances with minimal or very subtle features will allow that range to remain at the center of attention."

If you're curious about mixing metals, do—but stick with two, tops. "A nice combination of materials adds allure to a home, and the same applies to kitchens," Diego continues. "But don't go too crazy. I'd limit the number to two at most."
"We're past the era of every metal needing to be a tight match," Jennifer adds. "And while I wouldn't choose five wildly different finishes between the appliances, faucet, light fixtures, and cabinets, I think a couple could work wonderfully. I love how a brass faucet might sing at the sink while the appliances and cabinet hardware work together in silver finishes." One combination she cautions against, however? "The cool shine of chrome paired with the warmth of nickel feels off in a close-but-not-close-enough way," she says. "In general, if you're not sure about what will and won't work together, visit an appliance showroom for inspiration, or search Pinterest or Houzz and see what catches your eye. It's a little like building an outfit, part by part."

If you're looking to add variety but your kitchen has constraints, consider making smaller statements. Perhaps an all–stainless suite is what ultimately works best for your kitchen, but you still love the idea of incorporating a stand-out piece or two. "In these cases, focus on smaller appliances," Diego says. "There are compact vertical toaster ovens from Japan that come in beautiful finishes with leather-wrapped handles, for instance, or different types of coffee makers that can help add interest, and make your kitchen look extra chic."

How to Match your Countertops, Cabinets, and Floors | Kitchen Design 101, Ep1
With so many people staying at home during the coronavirus pandemic, many are seeing higher utility bills. Consumer Reports says there are things you can do to keep costs down - starting with the kitchen.
Make sure your pots match the stove burner size.
"For example if you use a 6-inch pan on an 8-inch burner, that will waste about 40% of the heat that that burner is generating, so that's a lot of energy that's being wasted," said Daniel Wroclawski, a home and appliances reporter with Consumer Reports.

Make sure leftovers are cool before they go in the fridge.
"When you put hot food in a refrigerator, it has to work a lot harder to cool off that food," said Wroclawski.
Using a dishwasher saves more water than washing by hand.
Also, what time you use your appliances may make a difference.
"Check with your electric company and see if they offer lower rates at night, a lot of utilities do," said Wroclawski.

Consumer Reports says in the laundry room, use the highest spin speed possible on your washer.
"That will get as much moisture out of your clothes as possible and makes it easier for you dryer to dry your clothes," said Wroclawski.
Clean your dryer lint screen before every use. Check your toilets and any faucets. Make sure to repair any leaks to save on water.

Other savings: "It's critical you change the filters in your appliance because if you don't, it makes them work harder and can lead to them breaking down," said Wroclawski.
Now that it's getting warmer and you may be using your AC, Consumer Reports recommends setting your thermostat to around 75 or 76 degrees. Just a few degrees difference will save a lot of energy and money on your electric bill.

(Reuters) - Shares of online furniture retailer Wayfair Inc (W.N) soared as much as 35% to hit a record high on Tuesday after posting better-than-expected quarterly results, as more consumers took to renovating and furnishing their homes while being stuck indoors due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The shelter-in-place orders have boosted demand for essential products, including home office products, cookware and kitchen appliances and children's furniture, at a time when most Americans are working from home and limiting their time outdoors.
"Home is becoming an area that customers are disproportionately investing into, and I would expect that to persist for a while," Chief Executive Officer Niraj Shah said on a post earnings call.
Wayfair said it saw a pickup in both traffic and sales starting in mid-March. Its executives added that the sales momentum has carried into the current quarter, with its quarter-to-date gross revenue growth trending up roughly 90% from a year earlier.
"We are seeing not just robust new customer acquisition but also strong repeat trends from both long-term loyal and recently added new customers," Chief Financial Officer Michael Fleisher said.
The Joss & Main furniture e-store owner has also been benefiting from the temporary closure of physical furniture stores in the United States, as it posted a 19.8% increase in sales in the first quarter ended March 31, helped by a surge in orders in the month of March.
Fleisher, however, said Wayfair's performance thus far puts it on a trajectory to achieving positive consolidated adjusted EBITDA margin in the second quarter even without the impact of the virus-led rise in sales it is experiencing.
Wells Fargo analyst Zachary Fadem said Wayfair, in an unexpected fashion, delivered a narrative-changing message, as recent cost efforts are bearing fruit in the form of a second-quarter profit inflection.
The company's first-quarter net sales of $2.33 billion beat Wall Street estimates of $2.31 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.
Wayfair also said the number of active customers in its direct retail business increased 28.6% to 21.1 million as at the end of the quarter, from a year ago.
The company, however, posted a net loss of $2.30 per share, but was smaller than the average analysts' estimates of a loss of $2.60 per share.
Wayfair's shares, which have increased over 81% this year, were up 22.2% at $163.89.

Too many people tolerate tinny laptop speakers and subpar earbuds, but Audioengine's speaker is a huge evolutionary leap from whatever's inside your laptop's casing. In addition to a warm, powerful sound and easy setup, the speakers' real strength is the many ways you can connect them, including Bluetooth, 3.5mm audio jack, and dual audio inputs. $269
Few high-quality speakers exist in the sub-$500 conversation, but ELAC has disrupted the "budget" category with the Debut 2.0 B6.2, which faithfully reproduces how music was recorded and meant to be listened to. For home-theater listening, it sounds far superior than others in its class, with a sound larger than expected for its size. Still, the speaker is hardly sleek and it requires a subwoofer to achieve the best audio. $350

Speedtest also has a free app to test your wireless speeds, which can help you figure out how much bandwidth specific devices are using.
—BEST SMART LOCK— August Smart Lock Pro + Connect

—BEST BEARD TRIMMER— Remington MB4900 Beard Boss
Shop Now
This Remington trimmer delivers straightforward capability and speed control, and plows through hair without snagging or pulling. Though it comes with nine attachments, its high-quality metal comb adjusts from 1 to 5mm, so you don't have to swap out attachments for a variety of short cuts. It's also waterproof for shower use and has a five-hour battery life with a clear charge indicator. $80
Tip: Unsure whether you can use an electric trimmer in the shower? A shower head icon indicates it's safe for use under a stream of water, and a faucet symbol means it can be washed with water, but neither confirms that it's fully waterproof. Only an IP rating of 67 or higher ensures a product will be safe when submerged under water.
—BEST MATTRESS— TempurPedic Luxe Breeze
Shop Now
With incredible cooling tech and support, the latest TempurPedic feels almost icy to the touch, purportedly 8 degrees cooler than the brand's other memory foam. The ventilated foam feels firm at first, but compresses to provide support that makes you feel weightless—not surprising, given that the TEMPUR material was first developed by the anti-gravity geniuses at NASA. $4,699 (queen)
—BEST PILLOW— Coop Home Goods The Original Pillow
Shop Now
While it sounds impossible for one pillow to suit every sleeper, this one from Coop Home Goods satisfies back, side, and stomach sleeping preferences with an adjustable filling. Its memory foam and microfiber fill balances the support of solid memory foam with the softness of down. It's also well worth the price with a 100-night trial, five-year warranty, and extra half-pound bag of filling. $60 (queen)
If you typically toss and turn at night or just enjoy the sensation of being swaddled, Quility's weighted blanket offers superior comfort and quality construction from evenly distributed glass beads, polyester filling, a cotton outer layer, and a removable, soft minky cover.

—BEST BLUETOOTH SPEAKER— Ultimate Ears Wonderboom 2
Shop Now
For almost any situation in which you'd need to amplify music, this tumbler-sized wireless speaker is the answer. It's compact, loud, and water-resistant enough to survive the shower or pool. But the Wonderboom 2 is special mostly for boasting better sound quality than we'd expect for under $200. $100
Whether you're reuniting with your old records or making a maiden voyage into vinyl, the 120X gives you features and a design that no other turntable in this price range can claim. We found that it runs with library-level quiet and plays with full-blooded definition, delivering the kind of warm, round tones you turn to vinyl for. A USB port for digitizing LPs sweetens the pot. $249
—BEST WATER FILTER PITCHER— PUR 11-Cup Ultimate Pitcher
Shop Now
Compatible with PUR's basic and lead-reducing filters, this 11-cup pitcher is slim, comfortable, and user-friendly, with an LED light to indicate filter status.
