This faucet that makes water look like latticework has ruined us for other sinks

By Jenny McGrath Published February 2, 2015

Oh, great. Now we can never look at another sink again without wishing the water flowing out of it was falling in a lattice-like pattern. A winner of a 2014 IF Concept Design Award, the Swirl Sink, designed by Simin Qiu, takes the idea of sink sprayer and makes it more beautiful, if less helpful. Instead of turning a handle, you simply push a button to start the water flow. According to the Royal College of Art student, the sink would flow at a rate 15 percent slower than a traditional sink and more gently. Not exactly great for loosening stuck-on food, but we’d love to have one in the bathroom, if it ever gets out of the “concept” phase.

I went looking for the best Prime Day bargains on Google hardware, and these are the winners

Prime Day discounts are hitting everything from Pixel phones to Nest cameras and the Pixel Watch 4. After digging through the listings, these are the deals that stood out the most.

Some Prime Day deals feel like discounts in name only, but after digging through this year's sale, I found a few Google deals that are genuinely worth your attention. Several Pixel 10 models are seeing triple-digit price cuts, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is at its lowest price yet, and a few Nest products are available at prices that are actually hard to ignore. Whether you're looking for a new smartphone, smartwatch, streaming device, or smart home upgrade, these are the Google deals I'd recommend before Prime Day wraps up on June 26.

This Prime Day, Sylvox Is Offering Up To 28% Off Its Frameless Outdoor TVs

Sylvox's Prime Day sale offers discounts of up to 28% across its outdoor TV lineup, including the Frameless Series, Deck Pro 3.0, and Cinema Series.

Prime Day is often associated with upgrading devices inside the home, but some of the most interesting deals this year are focused on the spaces outside it. From June 23 to June 26, Sylvox is offering discounts of up to 28% on its Frameless Series Outdoor TVs, bringing down the cost of a category that has become increasingly relevant as homeowners invest more in their outdoor living spaces.

The timing reflects a broader shift in how backyards, patios, and decks are being used. What were once occasional gathering spots are increasingly functioning as extensions of the home, doubling up as entertainment areas, outdoor dining spaces, and even wellness zones. As these spaces evolve, homeowners are paying closer attention to the products they bring into them—not just in terms of performance, but also how they fit into the overall design.

This modular robot mower handles up to 6 acres, and it’s over $1,000 off for Prime Day

YARBO Robot Lawn Mower Pro drops to $4,734 (save 21%) this Prime Day: wire-free RTK navigation, AI vision, 6-acre coverage, and a modular all-season design.

If you've been pricing out a robot mower for a genuinely large property, Prime Day just made the math easier. The YARBO Robot Lawn Mower Pro is down to $4,734 on Amazon (from a $5,999 list price), a huge Prime Day savings on a machine built for yards most robot mowers can't touch. At that price and that capability, this is the kind of purchase that changes how an entire weekend gets spent, and the RTK and AI vision navigation underneath means there's no perimeter wire to bury, which is the install headache that defines most of the category.
