If you’re shopping for your favorite foodie, you can’t go wrong with a versatile Dutch oven. The 5.5-quart Le Creuset is on sale for $340 at Amazon. It’s been a top performer in CR’s ratings for years, heats up fast and is a cinch to clean.

A great pick for those who love sleek-looking kitchen appliances, the Cosori Dual Blaze Air Fryer is now $160 at Amazon. It has a large capacity and it’s easy to clean.

Give the gift that keeps on giving with a cool gadget that’ll do some dirty work around the house. The Roborock S8 Pro Ultra robotic vacuum is $1,099 at Amazon. It earned an excellent score in CR’s carpet test and doubles as a robotic wet mop.

For the true tech-lover on your list, the Samsung Galaxy Watch6 LTE is $199 at Amazon. Although it’s not the latest model, it holds its own against newer competitors with a range of workout, sleep and heart rate tracking sensors.

Finally, November wouldn’t be November without deals on TVs. The LG OLED is $1,424 at Walmart and around $1500 at Amazon, Crutchfield and Best Buy. The 65-inch set delivers excellent picture quality, high dynamic range performance and sound.
