'ZDNET Recommends': What exactly does it mean?
ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.
When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.
ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

There's nothing better than a clean house, and Samsung's Jet 75 cordless vacuum can help you clean your home with up to 120 minutes of runtime without needing a recharge. The vacuum comes with two interchangeable batteries and a turbo brush to make sure you can truly get your floors clean, capturing up to 99.999% of fine dust.
It's only six pounds and uses a 180-degree swivel head, so you can lift it and dust bunnies from ceiling corners, mini-blinds, and more. The digital display is also easy to read so you can keep an eye on battery life, airflow issues (for when you accidentally suck up a cat toy), and more.

We love this 55-inch curved gaming screen so much that we covered it in its own post, and we'd be remiss if we didn't mention this awesome deal on this list. For gamers and content creators, the Odyssey Ark is a 4K powerhouse of a monitor. The mini-LED screen features a 1000R curved screen with a 165Hz variable refresh rate and 1ms response time. Because of this combination, the screen features a truly immersive experience for gaming or even concentrating on tasks at hand.
However, its true claim to fame is that it can be adjusted to use both horizontally and vertically, also called Cockpit Mode. All you have to do is raise the monitor, turn it, and you can get the setup you want. Out of everything on this list, this is the deal I 100% recommend you take advantage of.
