Cordless vacuum giveaway: Enter to win a new Roborock H6 cordless stick vacuum
Roborock is known best for its full line of powerful robotic vacuum cleaners, but the company recently debuted its first cordless stick vacuum for the U.S., the Roborock H6 Adapt. Robot vacuums are convenient and capable, but they're limited to cleaning floors. Cordless stick vacuums are the most versatile vacuums you can buy, and Roborock's initial entry into this market is a winner. You can be a winner, too, because we're giving readers a chance to win a new Roborock H6 Adapt cordless stick vacuum, a $450 value, with no purchase necessary. Read further to learn more about this powerful stick vac and how you can enter the contest and be the lucky winner.
There is a lot to say about the Roborock H6 Adapt, but let's start with the high points. The H6 has three modes (Eco, Normal, and Max) to balance suction strength and battery life. Powered by a 420-watt brushless motor, the H6 can employ 150 AW (air watts) of suction power to pull dust, dirt, and debris from carpeting and all types of hard flooring. In Eco mode, the H6 runs for up to 90 minutes per battery charge and up to 10 minutes in Max mode. You don't have to make the power changes yourself because the Roborock's Auto Carpet Boost detects the need for and switches to higher power modes as needed.

If you do a lot of high-volume printing, then a good laser printer is a must.

Refilling the tank is easy as well: You simply slide the cover off the tank refill opening, insert a toner refill plunger, depress the plunger to reload the tank, and then replace the cover. You’re all set to continue printing without any down time.

Win three pairs of blue light–blocking glasses from Baxter Blue
Between working on computers, texting on our mobile devices, and watching movies and TV shows for entertainment, it should come as no surprise that most of us spend a good portion of our days staring at one screen or another. It's estimated that most Americans spend 7.5 hours each day looking at a digital screen. As such, it's also not surprising that many people have experienced eye strain as a result of such prolonged exposure to digital light; more than 60% of Americans have experienced digital eye strain symptoms like dry eyes, headaches, blurry vision, and eye fatigue.
The cause of these ailments is the blue light and screen glare emitted by our digital devices. Artificial blue light can also affect our sleep by disrupting our circadian rhythms and the natural release of melatonin (the hormone that tells your mind and body when it’s time to sleep and wake up). Baxter Blue has made it their mission to reduce eye strain and blue light exposure with its line of fashionable eyewear. The brand also believes in social responsibility and so for every pair of glasses that they sell, they donate a pair of reading glasses to someone in need. And right now you can use the promo code BaxterBlue15 to receive 15% off your order.
