Prime Day Has Ended, But You Can Still Snag My Favorite All-in-One Kitchen Appliance for 25% Off
Too often, all-in-one kitchen appliances end up doing a lot of things poorly instead of doing one thing well. And, because some models have a lot of components, they can be a nightmare to clean. But the Chefman Everything Maker quickly won me over. The nonstick cooking surfaces heat up quickly and clean up takes minimal effort (a serious win in my book). I've made crispy hash browns, gooey grilled cheese, breakfast sandwiches and perfectly golden pancakes -- all in one compact machine.
The Chefman Everything Maker lives up to its name by offering a versatile, all-in-one cooking solution.

And it's not just a breakfast tool. I've used it for late-night quesadillas and quick lunches more times than I can count in the past few weeks.
The design is intuitive, easy to store upright (although I rarely put it away) and surprisingly durable. No extra bells and whistles here. It's just a well-made, easy-to-use appliance that works every time.

How I use my Everything Maker
Macy Meyer/CNET
The Chefman Everything Maker lives up to its name by offering a versatile, all-in-one cooking solution that fits easily on a countertop. With a 12-inch nonstick cooking surface and a slim, compact design, it's well-suited for small kitchens or anyone looking to simplify meal prep. I've found it particularly convenient for cooking breakfast foods like eggs and pancakes with the lid open, then switching to grilled sandwiches or quesadillas with the lid closed.
It also heats quickly and evenly, reaching up to 428 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius), which is enough for searing, sautéing or even light grilling. I made a summer flatbread (with burrata, pesto and prosciutto) over the weekend and used the Everything Maker to lightly sear some peaches to add as a topping. They came out perfectly.
Cleanup is another strong point. The nonstick surface wipes down easily after use -- no scrubbing or soaking required -- which has made it a reliable go-to for quick weekday meals.
The Everything Maker also comes with a digital cookbook featuring 16 chef-crafted recipes, which I've used as inspiration for trying new dishes beyond my usual routine. While it doesn't replace every kitchen tool, the Everything Maker handles a surprising variety of tasks in a compact footprint.

Rivian vs. Lucid: 1 Reason Jim Cramer Likes One Stock Over the Other
Key Points Lucid closed a deal with Uber to power its robotaxi division. Wall Street veteran Jim Cramer is doubting the deal's long-term potential. Rivian may be a better buy due to a deal with VW. 10 stocks we like better than Lucid Group › Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) soared in value following the announcement of its partnership with Uber Technologies. According to the deal's terms, Uber will invest $300 million in the electric vehicle (EV) maker. Uber also committed to purchase 20,000 vehicles from Lucid to kick-start its robotaxi division. Wall Street veteran Jim Cramer recently weighted in on the deal, and his take was surprising to many. He compared Lucid's deal with Uber to a partnership Rivian Automotive (NASDAQ: RIVN), another EV stock, made earlier this year. If you're invested in either Lucid or Rivian, you'll want to give Cramer's comments some consideration. How big is the Uber and Lucid partnership in reality? The details of Lucid's partnership with Uber are fairly straightforward. The latter says it is expecting to launch a robotaxi service later next year in a major U.S. city. To power this launch, Uber plans to order 20,000 Lucid Gravity SUVs over the next six years. According to a press release, the vehicles will be owned and operated by Uber or its third-party fleet partners and made available to riders exclusively via the Uber platform. To help Lucid scale up enough to produce this many vehicles, Uber also agreed to invest $300 million into the business. Around the same time, Lucid announced a 1-for-10 reverse stock split, but it's not clear how connected these two events are. While all of this looks promising on paper, there are two obvious problems. First, Uber's robotaxi division remains in its infancy. Whether it can actually grow big enough to acquire 20,000 Lucid vehicles remains a huge open question. Second, $300 million won't do much to keep Lucid financially viable over the next six years. While it ended 2024 with more than $6 billion in liquidity, the company also posted a net loss of $2.7 billion, roughly the same net loss it posted in 2023. A $300 million cash infusion is helpful, but it will hardly cure its ongoing financial challenges. Jim Cramer thinks Rivian's deal with Volkswagen is superior When Jim Cramer was asked about Lucid's partnership with Uber last week, he called the deal a "dalliance." In other words, he views it more as a short-term arrangement than a bona fide long-term partnership. "I think that you need a commitment, like the Volkswagen commitment to Rivian is extraordinary," Cramer said. "That's an open-ended check from one of the biggest car companies." He is referring to a joint venture between Volkswagen and Rivian that was announced in November 2024. The German automaker will receive crucial access to Rivian's software operating platform and technological back end. In exchange, Rivian receives up to $5.8 billion in funding. It's not hard to see the difference in commitments here. Uber is investing just $300 million into Lucid, with the promise of buying vehicles over the next six years. Rivian, meanwhile, is receiving up to $5.8 billion in funding by the end of 2027, starting with an immediate $1 billion convertible note. To be clear, Lucid's deal with Uber is still very exciting. ARK Investment CEO Cathie Wood eventually sees the robotaxi market being worth up to $10 trillion by 2030. But Rivian's deal with Volkswagen gives more credence to Rivian's tech stack and differentiation. If you're excited about the Uber-Lucid tie-up, be sure to dive into Rivian's and Volkswagen's partnership, as Cramer correctly points out. Should you invest $1,000 in Lucid Group right now?

The clock is ticking on solar tax credits and All Energy Solar can help
MADISON, Wis., July 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Homeowners and businesses have a critical, rapidly approaching deadline to take advantage of the 30% federal solar tax credit: December 31, 2025. After this date, the Residential Clean Energy Credit will be eliminated entirely, and the Clean Energy Investment Tax Credit for commercial projects will be subject to new restrictions and early phase-out. All Energy Solar Inc. is urging people to act now to ensure their projects are completed in time to qualify for these significant savings. The recent "One Big, Beautiful Bill Act" abruptly cut short the federal solar tax credit, which was previously set to continue through 2034. This change creates a compressed timeline for those interested in investing in solar energy. For homeowners, this means a potential savings of an average of $9,000 will vanish in 2026. Businesses also face a limited window to capitalize on the full credit for renewable energy projects. "The phase-out of this federal tax credit is a big shift—not just for the solar industry, but for any homeowner or business thinking about going solar," said Ryan Buege, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at All Energy Solar. "The window is closing, but there's still time to lock in the full value if you act now. It may be years before solar becomes this affordable again." Typical installation timelines can span several months due to site design, permitting, and utility coordination. All Energy Solar encourages anyone considering solar to start their project now to maximize savings and avoid missing out on current incentives. "From your first consultation to system activation, going solar takes time—especially with permitting and utility approvals," Buege added. "Our team is experienced at navigating these local processes, but as demand surges, there will come a point where we simply can't guarantee new projects will qualify under the current incentive, especially for residential solar." For businesses switching to solar, the changes to the tax credit present a more nuanced, though still urgent, timeline. While the general elimination date for the Clean Energy Investment Tax Credit is December 31, 2027, projects that begin construction by July 4, 2026, can still qualify for the full 30% credit, provided they are placed in service within four years. Projects beginning construction after July 4, 2026, must be placed in service by December 31, 2027, to receive any credit. Furthermore, projects beginning construction after December 31, 2025, will face new "Foreign Entity of Concern" (FEOC) restrictions, requiring a certain percentage of components to be sourced from non-FEOC manufacturers to qualify for the credit.

Should You Buy XRP (Ripple) While It's Under $5?
Key Points XRP's value has surged nearly 480% in just 12 months. Deregulation, ETFs, and general crypto enthusiasm are driving the coin's value higher. XRP is priced for perfection, and it's looking increasingly like a speculative gamble. 10 stocks we like better than XRP › Cryptocurrency XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) has gained lots of attention from investors lately, resulting in a 480% increase over the past year. Whenever any type of investment rises that quickly, it's worth evaluating to see if it's worth owning. Unlike some cryptocurrencies, XRP (sometimes called Ripple) has real-world applications through its blockchain, which can act as a bridge currency in foreign transactions, saving both time and money compared to traditional financial transactions. But XRP's rapid value increase calls into question whether the crypto is overvalued right now, and if it's being driven higher simply because of investor sentiment. While XRP isn't necessarily a meme coin, here are three reasons why it may be best not to buy it right now. 1. It's very volatile If you're interested in owning cryptocurrencies, then it's likely that you're OK with some volatility. Any type of investment will have price swings, of course, but cryptocurrencies are more prone to make big movements on little to no news. While XRP isn't unique in its volatility, I think it's significant enough to dissuade some investors from owning it. Consider that back in February, XRP's value fell about 30% in just a five-week period. XRP regained its footing temporarily, but then fell 16% in just one week following the announcement of President Donald Trump's tariffs in early April. Those are just two examples of XRP's tendency toward volatility, both occurring within weeks of each other. Of course, the coin's value has subsequently rallied again, but if you're not used to investment value shifts to this degree and they might cause you undue stress or prompt you to take action without thinking, then it's probably best to stay away. 2. It's fairly speculative It's important to point out that some of the price movements XRP has experienced are tied to concrete reasons. For example, some of XRP's price gains over the past year have come from investors getting excited about crypto exchange-traded funds (ETFs) focused on XRP and the Trump administration taking a more open approach toward cryptocurrencies. But while crypto ETFs can signal more legitimacy for digital coins and open them up to more investors, there's still a lot of speculating involved. Some analysts have estimated that XRP's price could surge to $25 because of the launch of the ETFs -- only to see the value then fall by 90%. While that's just a prediction, it's a good representation of how speculative the price of XRP can be. What's more, XRP's value jumped more than 70% in the past month after the House of Representatives passed the Genius Act and the Digital Markets Clarity Act in the House, both of which clarify regulations for crypto and stablecoins. While it's good news for the industry, a 70% surge in XRP's price is likely unwarranted. Huge value movements over a short period, whether for stocks or crypto, often signal that investors are pushing up an investment solely based on how they feel. 3. It's already richly valued XRP's massive run lately means this crypto is priced for perfection. Its price already includes optimism around crypto deregulation, the launch of XRP ETFs, real-world usage of its blockchain, and a general optimism that's fueling a surge in crypto prices. In short, XRP is already on a huge run based on a handful of tangible reasons, and any more gains from here are likely purely built on the whims of crypto investors. Unlike stocks, cryptocurrencies don't have cash flow or earnings to judge their value by, and based on XRP's 480% jump over the past year, it looks like the coin's price is now detached from the already speculative metrics used to judge crypto values. Could XRP still go higher? Of course. Many cryptocurrencies have shown that they can continue to climb even without being tied to any concrete metrics. But there's no getting around the fact that buying XRP means you're paying a premium. And with optimism for XRP sky-high, any unmet expectations from the crypto could cause a substantial sell-off. Should you invest $1,000 in XRP right now? Before you buy stock in XRP, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and XRP wasn't one of them.
