One Is All
Cat Bed Air Purifier
Original price was: $160.00.$119.00Current price is: $119.00.
The One Is All combination pet-hair filter and air purifier looks like a slightly cute, squat droid. Though it’s touted for capturing cat hair its floor-height induction quarantines any animal fur. The biggest appeal is that it features nearly inaudible operation. Plus, the hair is contained in a distinct trap to prevent clogging the separate H13 HEPA and activated carbon filtration systems. The latter reduces pet odors and traps dander and dust. Turn it on and forget about it; the One Is All reads air quality and adjusts on the fly without needing input from its human owner.

Z5IIC Camera
$1,400.00
The “C” in the new Nikon Z5IIC stands for “casual” and incorporates scene modes for the first time in any Nikon full-frame camera. Toggle the camera to a scene and the camera does the rest—night, portrait or any of its 15 modes. Unlike a typical point-and-shoot this is a full-frame mirrorless camera with a 24.5 C-MOS sensor and the depth and clarity provided by the EXPEED 7 image processing engine – the same processor used on the brand’s flagship Z9. The biggest bonus is access to Nikon’s massive lens library, from current Z-series to historic F lenses back to 1967. Price is for the body only, multiple options are available with various lenses and accessories.

Black Diamond
Magnetron Carabiner
$54.95
Most classic locking climbing carabiners have two innate design flaws. The gate closes against a hooked beak that tends to catch the rope. And, typically, you have to thread them shut, too. Black Diamond’s latest Magnetron is better. As its name suggests, it uses magnets both at the hookless nose and for the sliders on either side of the gate, and there’s no hook. Instead, the magnets instantly fasten the lock shut, requiring no secondary action. That saves you energy during a taxing climb. Another bonus: the Magnetron is made of 25% pre-consumer recycled aluminum, so manufacturing them burns less carbon.
