Promising reviews:
"First of all, the color is what got me, and then I fell in love even more with this vacuum after seeing how good it picked up my basset hound's hairs from the floor and carpet. It is cordless, and the charging speed is good and fast. It lasts a long time. I also use this vacuum to keep up with the cleaning of my car. It's not heavy at all. My 5-year-old always helps vacuum the carpet and the car. I highly recommend this vacuum if you need to deep clean from a mom of two boys and one puppy.' —Ximena G Buntin'I am a pet owner who is OCD about my floors, and I was a housekeeper for many years. I have used this vacuum for about 6 months now, and I LOVE IT. A few things I want to point out:First of all, with any cordless vacuum, you are not going to get the same power or suction as a corded vacuum, period. Manage your expectations - you are trading suction power for the convenience of having no cord. Cordless vacuums are great for quick, daily upkeep in between your full cleaning days (where you should be using a regular corded vacuum).I got this vacuum because we recently got a bunny, and therefore introduced a lot of hay - and a LOT more fur - into our home. This thing picks up anything and everything, and works great on our hardwood, low-pile rugs, and high-pile carpeted bedrooms. We use it every evening for at least 10 or 15 minutes straight on the high setting, and it doesn't run out of juice. […]' —Karina'In my opinion, this little hard worker is the best by far in this price category. It is my third one purchased (2 from Amazon). It is lightweight, the head swivels freely around corners and furniture, powerful for its size, switches suction power automatically from hardwood to carpet, stands alone (but a hanging device is provided as an option), the dust cup is easy to empty, and makes vacuuming almost fun. Plus, it is from a brand whose name I recognize…Black and Decker. I highly recommend this product to anyone searching for a cordless stick vacuum in its price range. Thank you, B&D, for a great product.' —Ximena G Buntin'Best cordless vacuum I have ever owned. Lightweight and has a bright LED light that lets you see the smallest crumb on the floor. I love that it doesn't require rechargeable batteries. It has two speeds and automatically adjusts power when going from a hard surface floor to an area rug or carpet, and it stands up on its own! The best $100 I've ever spent. I got this in January and use it almost every day.' —Janie Quick'This vacuum is beyond perfect for my 540 sq ft apartment. It cleans rugs and carpet perfectly, plus it has completely negated my need for a broom on hardwood. Living in such a small apartment, the battery life is no problem — I can vacuum everything and still have charge left over. My dogs also shed, and it's so satisfying to see how much dog hair this thing can pick up."When I lived in a house that was 3–4 times the size of my apartment, the vacuum was still super effective at cleaning up pet hair; it just needed to be charged halfway through, especially if I was vacuuming large rugs. It does take a good bit of time to reach full charge, which can be annoying if you are using it to clean an entire house, but for my current apartment, this is incredible."ALSO! I love that this vacuum does not blow air out super hard like other vacuums I've used. I never have to worry about dog hair flying around on hardwood, the vacuum just sucks it all up."A great deal for the cost, would absolutely buy again.' —liam wilson

Companies from Stanley Black & Decker to Conagra are saying tariffs will cost them hundreds of millions
Companies behind some of America's best-known brands are warning that tariffs will raise costs by hundreds of millions of dollars as Friday's key deadline nears. Firms are gearing up for the long-awaited Friday deadline, when the White House says it will start imposing higher import taxes on foreign countries. Now businesses in a range of industries are saying this shakeup in global trading practices will cost them. Tool maker Stanley Black & Decker said Tuesday it expects an $800 annualized hit from policy changes tied to tariffs. That doesn't include costs in connection with steps the company is taking to mitigate the effects of the levies, according to finance chief Patrick Hallinan. For Marie Callender's and Slim Jim parent Conagra Brands, higher tariffs are expected to raise its costs of goods sold by 3%, equivalent to an annual increase of more than $200 million, CEO Sean Connolly said earlier this month. Most of the Chicago-based company's production is in the U.S., but management says it still has to contend with steel and aluminum tariffs that will raise the cost of packaging. Tesla, led by President Trump's erstwhile ally Elon Musk, said that costs tied to tariffs have increased by about $300 million. Roughly two-thirds of that is tied to the electric vehicle maker's auto business, while the rest is from the energy arm. "While we are doing our best to manage these impacts, we are in an unpredictable environment on the tariff front," finance chief Vaibhav Taneja told analysts and investors on Tesla's earnings call last week. Those pressures extend throughout the auto industry. General Motors said earnings before interest and taxes in the latest quarter suffered a $1.1 billion hit that the Detroit-based automaker chalked up to the net effect of tariffs. Air conditioner maker Carrier Global said Tuesday that it now expects to spend about $200 million to offset the impact of tariffs. The same day, appliance maker Whirlpool said North American sales and earnings were hurt in the second quarter as Asian competitors rushed to export goods to the U.S. in advance of higher tariffs. U.S. consumers haven't yet experienced meaningful bumps to inflation as a result of higher tariffs. That can be attributed to domestic companies currently absorbing cost hikes, but some economists warn that business may soon start passing the increases on to shoppers after this week's deadline passes. As a result, the "core" version of the consumer price index, which excludes volatile food and energy prices, should rise at an annual rate of 3.2% in the third quarter, up from 2.1% in the second quarter, according to Nancy Lazar, Piper Sandler's chief global economist. Foreign exporters have been covering "very little" of the tariffs and have been "getting off easy," Lazar said in a recent note to clients. Still, not every American company is taking a hands-off approach and swallowing the higher costs. Paul De Cock, operations chief at carpet manufacturer Mohawk Industries, said last week that it is implementing 8% price increases. There may be need for further price hikes in the sector if tariffs further raise costs, he said. "We continue to work with customers and suppliers to manage the impact of tariff costs as the situation evolves," De Cock said on the Georgia-based company's earnings call. Mohawk is encouraging consumers to look at domestically produced alternatives, he said. The company is also expanding capacity for quartz countertops made in Tennessee, which will increase the supply of goods not subject to tariffs, de Cock added. For its part, the White House is aiming to soothe companies' concerns about the looming deadline for tariffs, which were a core tenet of Trump's campaign last year. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, for example, told CNBC on Tuesday that countries facing high tariff rates can lower them by negotiating a deal with the U.S. "I would think that it's not the end of the world if these snapback tariffs are on for anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, as long as the countries are moving forward and trying to negotiate in good faith," he said.

Bubba Wallace overcame questions and doubts to end 3-year drought with 1st Brickyard 400 win
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Bubba Wallace spent three long years questioning everything about his racing world. During a 100-race winless streak, he saw teammate Tyler Reddick win five times and post three top 10 finishes in NASCAR's final standings. Wallace also watched team co-owner Denny Hamlin make regular trips to victory lane while still chasing his elusive Cup title. The drought forced Wallace to contemplate what was wrong and whether he'd continue to be employed in racing — until he realized there was more to life than racing. Sunday's life-changing Brickyard 400 title only reinforced that notion. 'When Amanda and I first started dating, I was like 'Hey, racing everything, right?' I knew I made a mistake saying that,' Wallace said, referring to his wife Sunday night. 'It took me all these years to realize this isn't always going to be here. So I think it's better to enjoy moments like this, but nothing can overcome the joyful times you have with your family.' Those aren't just empty words, either. After celebrating with his crew, a jubilant Wallace hugged his wife and hoisted their 10-month-old son over his head, an image that may far outlive Wallace's reign as champion. His second family, other Cup drivers, also embraced Wallace following the biggest victory of his career. By becoming the first Black driver to win a major race on Indianapolis Motor Speedway's historic 2.5-mile oval, Wallace also locked up his second playoff appearance. But long before Sunday, there were indications Wallace was turning things around. After posting just six top five finishes and 12 top 10s in his first five Cup seasons, Wallace broke through with five top fives and 10 top 10s in 2022 and 2023. Last year, he had career bests of six top fives and 14 top 10s. And he won one pole in each of those three seasons, too. He also won two qualifying races leading up to this year's Daytona 500, though those wins don't count in the Cup's official stats. Midway through last season, though, Hamlin noticed a change in Wallace. 'When I hired Bubba, I believed in his capability, not necessarily the results he had shown, but I understood his potential. And then there was a time where we were kind of wrestling with 'Do I want it worse than him? I can't make him want it,'" Hamlin said. 'It just seems like something happened mid last year — maybe related to having a child or whatever — but something happened where I saw a change in attitude that changed work for him.' It was a new perspective on life. Suddenly, Wallace had more to think about than just racing and it freed him up to alleviate some of the pressure he put on himself and the brutal self critiques. 'I'm a guy with a beautiful wife, a beautiful son and putting family first, that's all that matters and just fortunate enough to be driving race cars,' he said. 'That makes things easier, gives you something to kind of focus on, the racing stuff is kind of secondary now and you have to have a mental shift to say that.' But the philosophical change was only part of the equation. Crew chief Charles Denike, whose nine years in the U.S. Army showed him how to cope with pressure, added a calming influence on the radio. Wallace also started reading 'The Daily Stoic," a resource with exercises to help people cultivate wisdom and resilience. Fatherhood changed things, too. 'I've got the family here,' he said. 'Beck's win, officially his first race, and see his dad do it — get to victory lane — that brings me a lot of joy. Amanda's here, we lost our grandmother Friday night, so it's just kind of been a special weekend for us. Our family's here in Indiana, so this is really cool to be able to do.' Of course, Wallace still gets frustrated as he did Saturday when he missed capturing the Brickyard pole by a whisker in qualifying. But he managed to strike a balance between the disgust that used to seep in and the positivity of what he nearly accomplished. And it made a difference on the track Sunday and potentially off of it in the near future. 'There's a certain level of expectation to win and so, not doing that for almost three years, you really start to doubt yourself and wonder 'Is this it after the contract's up? Is this it?'' he said. 'I've still got a couple of years left, so hopefully this gives another year at least.'
