Nespresso's top-rated espresso machine is almost half off right now — its lowest price ever
While there's never really a bad time to upgrade your coffee bar, if you needed an especially good reason, here's one: Nespresso's Vertuo Next espresso machine is at its lowest price ever. The compact, single-serve appliance fits perfectly on most countertops or coffee bar carts, which makes it the perfect gift to give yourself or another coffee lover in your life. In addition to the espresso machine, you'll also get a milk frother and an assortment of Nespresso capsules to get started. Below, I talk more about the appliance's features and why we made it our Deal of the Day.
The versatile Nespresso Vertuo Next is ideal for making both coffee and espresso, but it's especially great for those who love espresso-based drinks with steamed or frothed milk, like lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites and cortados. Since the (included) Aeroccino milk frother is compatible with both hot and cold milk, according to the brand, you can use it to make hot and iced drinks and/or to make cold foam. The machine can hold up to 10 used capsules before needing to empty it and has a 1-liter water tank capacity. It also heats up in as little as 25 seconds, according to the brand, and it's compatible with Nespresso's espresso capsules, though the appliance comes with capsules so you can get started using it right away.

12 best Father's Day gifts on Amazon for the dad who has everything
Being faced with a ton of brands can actually make finding the best Father's Day gift overwhelming. This is what makes Amazon so helpful when you're in a dilemma: The retailer has a varied lineup of ideas for Father's Day gifts, including ones across categories like tech, small kitchen appliances, apparel and much more, many of which are on sale and eligible for expedited shipping with a Prime membership. Plus, Amazon sells products from top brands like Apple, Anker, Lego and other NBC Select favorites. The holiday falls on June 15 this year, and Amazon also has a disclaimer confirming if your gift will arrive before Father's Day. Below, we rounded up the best Father's Day gifts on Amazon to consider this year. The best Amazon Father's Day gift ideas in 2025 Below, I've rounded up the best Father's Day gift ideas on Amazon for each and every type of father, including products we've reviewed in the past along with some NBC Select staff favorites. Be sure to check shipping times to confirm that your gift will arrive on time and avoid showing up to the celebrations empty handed. Gifts under $50 There are a lot of true crime fans on our team at NBC Select, so I can say with authority that if your dad is an armchair detective himself (or just loves a good puzzle), he'll love this puzzle book from Murdle. It has 100 original murder mystery puzzles to help your dad get his detective fix without having to leave home. The puzzles include maps, codes, drawings and more — everything your dad needs to crack the code and solve the crime. If your dad is always on the move, consider getting him a portable charger to keep his devices fully charged while he's on the go. This powerbank from Anker (one of our favorite tech brands) is the go-to personal charger of NBC Select reporter Harry Rabinowitz, who says it saves him from stressing about his phone or earbud battery levels. Commerce editor Cory Fernandez also has this power bank and loves how quickly it charges his phone and Airpods and still has more battery left. It has a built-in USB-C cable (so no need to pack an extra charging cord), and is wallet-sized for easy transport. It can deliver up to two full charges for most smartphones, according to the brand. There's nothing my dad and brothers love more than a cozy pair of sweats, and this Father's Day you can give your dad his new favorite pair. These joggers from Hanes are made from a mid-weight fleece that's great for year-round wear, especially around the house, and have side-seam pockets along with a back pocket to help hold all of his essentials, according to the brand. They're also machine-washable on a cold cycle. MTEN Pickleball Set Nowadays, it feels like every tennis court has a space for pickleball, and now you can help your dad get in on the fun. This set comes with two USA Pickleball Association-approved paddles, made from a lightweight fiberglass and polypropylene material that helps to reduce vibrations and give your dad a stable strike on the court, according to the brand. The paddles also have ergonomic, sweat-absorbing handles, and come with four outdoor pickle balls, two grip tapes, and a carry bag to store everything in. Gifts under $100 Apple Airtag The Apple Airtag is our pick for the best iOS Bluetooth tracker for our NBC Select Travel Awards because of how easy to use and versatile it is. Rabinowitz says he uses his Airtags for every kind of travel, including short commutes and longer vacations. It pairs easily with Apple's FindMy app, which can help pinpoint the precise location of your tag within 30 feet, or the general location if it's outside of that range, according to the brand. Plus, Fernandez puts an Airtag in his wallet (with a holder) to prevent losing it when traveling abroad. This portable blender has a powerful motor that'll help to keep your father's mixtures smooth and consistent, and was also recommended to us by kitchen experts. It has a tumbler that fits two cups of ingredients, and includes two cups and lids to help store his smoothies, according to the brand. The blender's pieces are also top-rack dishwasher-safe. Everyone on our team knows by now how much I love my Lego sets, and if your dad is a Star Wars fan, he'll love this one too. It's a collectible model of the Millennium Falcon spaceship, including building instructions and 921 pieces of Lego bricks, according to the brand. While taking photos on your phone is quick and easy, this photo printer can help to make those memories last in a physical form as well. The printer connects to devices via Bluetooth, and includes a charging cable and a pack of Kodak photo paper, which is made using embedded dye crystals that remove the need for any expensive ink cartridges, according to the brand. Gifts $100 and up Amazon Kindle Paperwhite This is our pick for best overall e-reader because of its user-friendly design, and how easy and enjoyable it made reading — 'Using a Kindle single-handedly changed the way I read,' says NBC Select commerce editor Lindsay Schneider. The screen's brightness can be adjusted to your dad's preferred color settings, and the e-reader can also hold audiobooks (just in case your dad prefers to listen to his books instead). It's lightweight, compact and has no glare, making it the ideal pick for your favorite book-loving dad. This bird feeder is great for both bird watching experts and amateurs. It has a built-in battery and a camera with 1080P resolution, so your dad can view birds 24/7, according to the brand. It uses Wi-Fi connectivity that allows it to be installed without any outlets, and connects to the Birdfy app, which includes feeder footage and more. Aura Digital Picture Frame Digital photo frames are a great way to display memories, and this Aura frame is one of the very best. It's easy to set up using Wi-Fi, and your dad can easily add photos and videos from his phone to the frame using the Aura app, according to the brand. It has an HD display and unlimited storage, and your dad can also invite others to share photos to the frame as well. You can even pre-load the frame with your favorite family photos as a fun surprise for him to unwrap. Not only are these one of Sony's best over-ear headphones, they're also an NBC Select Wellness Awards winner. They're lightweight and comfortable with a great sound quality, and can last for up to 30 hours with a fully-charged battery, according to the brand. The headphones also have a very powerful active noise cancellation setting. Why trust NBC Select? I'm an associate SEO reporter at NBC Select who has given dozens of gift ideas for a variety of holidays and occasions, including the best zodiac gifts, aesthetic gifts, and fun-size gifts.

This popular air conditioning unit was just recalled — here's how to tell if yours is impacted
When it comes to air conditioners, our editors have long been fans of Midea's U smart window air conditioning unit, praising it for its quietness and effectiveness. Unfortunately, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission has just posted a recall notice on their website for this unit, citing a design flaw that may lead to water pooling within the unit, potentially resulting in mold growth. Below, find more details on what this announcement means, plus a list of air conditioners you can use instead. Want more from NBC Select? Sign up for our newsletter, The Selection, and shop smarter. Why was the Midea U Smart Air Conditioner recalled? Approximately 1.7 million Midea U and U+ Smart air conditioners have been recalled by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission due to a design flaw that can cause water to pool inside the unit, potentially leading to mold growth. The commission received 152 reports of mold, 17 of which included individuals experiencing symptoms associated with mold exposure. The recalled units were sold between March 2020 and May 2025 and the smart air conditioners were sold under the Midea name, as well as under other brand names — including Comfort Aire, Frigidaire, Danby and Insignia. Models include 8,000, 10,000 and 12,000 BTU units that were sold in stores and online at Costco, Midea, Best Buy, Home Depot, Amazon, Lowe's, BJ's and Menard's. A full list of impacted models can be found on the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission's website. If you have an impacted model, Midea is offering repairs or refunds — the type of assistance you are eligible for is based on your purchase date. To get a refund, Midea will send you a shipping label and you'll have to mail the unit back to them. If you opt for a repair, Midea will send a technician to your home. For full details on how to handle a recalled unit, you can call Midea at 888-345-0256, email the company at midea4028@ or go to In previous testing, our editors liked that this unit from July has three fan speeds and four modes: cool, fan, auto and dry. The unit fits in slider, single and double hung windows, comes with a washable filter, and you can buy different colored covers to fit your aesthetic, including wood and fabric covers. Another NBC Select editor favorite, this window unit has a nice aesthetic and cools quickly. You can operate it via the buttons on the unit or through the Windmill Air app. Reviewers also note that this unit is easy to install and is relatively quiet in small rooms. If you have a smaller space, consider this LG unit. NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin uses it in her kitchen, which is about 200 square feet and says it cools quickly. It is relatively light and easy to install. One thing to note: It is slightly noisy. Why trust NBC Select?
