How I choose what I recommend

  • It has to do more than one job

    In a small apartment, one appliance that does three jobs beats three appliances.

  • No drilling required

    Nothing that makes you ask your landlord or leave holes behind when you move.

  • The reviews have to add up

    If the people who already bought it say something different from the listing, it does not make the list.

Who is behind this

I have spent most of my life in New York City apartments

I know what it is like to struggle with a lack of space. After years of searching for solutions for my own homes, I learned that the secret is not having less, but choosing the right tools. I created this site to save you that time.
