Shop proven winners from Cozy Earth, Dyson, and Samsonite

The start of autumn beckons lots of excitement — a chance to pull out your Rory Gilmore sweater, the first day of pumpkin spice lattes, and of course, Labor Day sales. And while it’s a positive that so many brands offer deals, it can be tough to determine what you actually need and what’s worth the cost.

As your trusted shopping editors, who spend more time researching and testing products than Taylor Swift has spent on tour, that’s where we come in. We’ve tested thousands of products in our homes and labs all over the country to vet which ones deserve a place in your life.

We hold each individual product to a high standard of criteria and review it accordingly, whether wrapping up in a Cozy Earth bath towel after a hot shower, pulling a Samsonite carry-on bag around the office to see how it maneuvers, or applying some MAC Matte Lipstick to see the finish. And right now, many of our tried and true winners are on sale.

It was a treat for our testers to wrap up in the Cozy Earth Waffle Bath Towels. They’re large, quick-drying, and have a plush side in addition to the textured waffle side.

When we, or rather, our dogs, tested a series of top-rated dog harnesses, this option from Wild One was an easy win for best cushioned. It offers a solid structure to keep your dog comfortable and secure on walks. One of our editors, who uses this harness as well, appreciates the safety features, like two D ring clip options, padding under the fasteners to keep your pup from getting pinched, and adjustable straps for the best fit. This is just one of many Wild One dog walking accessories that are on sale up to 35 percent off through Tuesday, September 5.

Amazon

$650

$499

No matter the temperature, a fan is always good to have on hand. And if you’re going to buy our best investment pick from Dyson, now’s the time to do it, since the brand rarely offers discounts. During our test, this fan, which also doubles as an air purifier, dazzled with its safety features (no blades), sleek design, and 10 speed options. It’s surprisingly quiet and an all around high-quality product. Add it to your cart while it’s on sale for $150 off today.

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

$999

$799

A pool cleaner might not be the most fun purchase, but it’s a sound one, especially when you can get a high-quality option for $200 off. Rated our best overall pool cleaner, the Dolphin Nautilus effortlessly cleans, grabbing small particles and large debris with equal efficiency. It has intense suction that helps it stick to the walls, along with a floor tracking system to make sure it cleans the whole pool. Despite the machine’s impressive technology, it’s lightweight, so it’s not cumbersome to get into the pool.

The design is easy to hold and has safety features, like a “microfine edge” that keeps your skin protected from the blade. Grab it for almost $100 off on Amazon.

Best Style Labor Day Deals

Fashion deals are always in style, and right now, you can grab Lululemon leggings, a new winter coat from Columbia, and a truly comfortable bra all for up to 60 percent off. No second guessing sizes or fit, because we tried them to offer the best insights for our readers.

Columbia Suttle Mountain Long Insulated Jacket

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

$230

$97

If you’re in the market for a new winter coat, we’d recommend the Mountain Long Insulated Jacket from Columbia. The silhouette offers plenty of room, so you can wear a layer or two underneath without feeling too bulky. There’s also a removable faux fur trim for an added design detail. We were impressed with the warming ability, thanks to the Omni-heat thermal lining, and appreciated the large range of sizes and colors available. It’s a great winter coat anyday, and right now, it’s going for as little as $97.

Wacoal Comfort First Wirefree T-Shirt Bra

<p>Amazon</p>

Amazon

$68

$52

Bras can be pretty comfortable, especially when they’re wireless. This Wacoal bra actually embodies its name by putting women’s comfort first. In addition to the soft feel (like wearing a T-shirt), the bra proved its worth in the support department. We had a variety of testers with a range of bust sizes — the bra fits cup sizes A to DD — who were impressed with its coverage and support. Grab it for 23 percent off, and maybe buy a few extras since you’ll likely be reaching for it first in your drawer.
