Winner: LifeProof Vinyl Plank
Flooring

hardwood, with the benefits of vinyl. This highly engineered plank
is water resistant, shock-absorbing and available in over 40
patterns. No need to hire an installer with drop-and-lock joints to
connect each plank tool-free, laying over an existing surface. It's
also safe for kids and pets, as it's phthalate and formaldehyde
free. Available only at The Home Depot.
First Runner-Up: Dewalt Max
Flexvolt
Dewalt's Max Flexvolt system delivers the power of corded
tools, with the freedom and flexibility of going cordless. Get
projects done quickly without having to wait for your tool recharge
– Flexvolt is the world's first battery that automatically changes
voltage when you change tools, extending battery life. The
brushless motor means less friction, extending the actual life of
the tool.

Cam
Ring's Floodlight Cam will make sure you don't miss a
thing with its bright lights and high-definition camera. Ensure
maximum safety at home—as soon as motion happens, the built-in
