7. Bissell Versus Bare Floor Vacuum
While the Bissell Versus vacuum may look a little odd, the V-base allows better cleaning access around chair legs and into corners. And with 12 amps of power, a hose and crevice tool, it has more function typical of larger and more expensive upright vacuums than stick models. Handling does take a little getting used to, but it is an effective bare floor cleaning tool and a great gift idea. Stick vacuums are very convenient - learn more about them and what you can use one for in Benefits of a Stick Vacuum.
8. Calphalon Simply Nonstick Grill Pan 1757716
A handy Calphalon Double Grill for use on a cooktop, the Calphalon has a durable nonstick finish for easy clean-up and is designed with ridges that leave appealing grill lines on foods cooked. It also has silicone inserts built into the handles.

9. Oster Fusion BRLY07-Z00 Blender/Processor
It crushes whole ice cubes fast, blends the perfect smoothie and chops vegetables more consistently than some blenders. I especially like the way the jar goes on the base - it has a threaded bottom that slides onto an all-metal drive shaft. The updated Oster Fusion multifunction blender/processor is a pleasure to use.
10. Hamilton Beach Brew Station
This Hamilton-Beach Brew Station brews 12 cups of coffee and has a convenient one hand dispensing function. It has an easy to set programmable timer. Stylish and full-featured, it brews a great tasting cup of coffee. This coffee brewer is a hit because of the dispensing feature.
