EcoFlow Delta Portable Power Station — Former Pick
Walmart deal price: $900; street price: $1100

Other things to know: Former pick. Lower runtime than our top pick despite higher capacity.

What we like: A runner-up smart bulb that's far less expensive than Hue bulbs. Emits a wide range of bold colors. Smart-home integration. Useful pre-set scenes. Quick response to commands.

Other things to know: Does not use the Hue app. Decent 800 lumens of brightness. Available in a 4-pack. Opt for store pickup if available to avoid shipping.

Blueair Blue Pure 211+ Air Purifier — Upgrade Pick
Walmart deal price: $224; street price: $320

What we like: Our upgrade pick air purifier. Aced our tests. Its ability to move extremely high volumes of air makes it our pick for large spaces up to 650 square feet. Quiet and attractive.

Other things to know: Combined up-front price and running costs are much higher than those of our top pick, but comparable to the costs of most other large-space purifiers we’ve looked at.

Layla Weighted Blanket (15 lbs) — Upcoming Pick
Walmart deal price: $80; street price: $180

What we like: A warm and fuzzy budget weighted blanket. Cotton cover on one side, faux minx on the other. Doesn't look like an obvious weighted blanket. One of the easiest blankets to wash in our testing.

Other things to know: Make sure to change weight to 15 lbs version to get the deal price of $80. 48-inches by 72-inches. Does not come with a duvet cover and no official cover available. 120-night free trial with 100% refund.

What we like: Our budget artificial tree pick has 700 UL-listed warm-white incandescent lights—not LEDs— and 1,319 branch tips. Looks especially great once fluffed. Ornaments stand out better than on densely foliaged trees. Sturdily built.

Other things to know: Finding the plugs and connecting them properly can be challenging.

Coway Airmega 200M Air Purifier (Black) — Runner-Up
Walmart deal price: $128; street price: $200

What we like: One of the best air purifiers we've found in eight years of testing. Nearly identical to our top pick in noise, control, and performance. Display-shutoff feature lets you dim its lights.

Other things to know: Square grille. Only available in black.
