10 Very Innovative Product Must Haves

The 10 VIP Award Winners

Method Laundry Detergent: Four pumps of the eight-times-concentrated formula are all you need for a medium load. The compact container is perfectly portable — and better for the environment because it uses less plastic.

Dyson Air Multiplier: This sleek, bladeless electric fan isn't only a cool conversation starter; its unique design makes it child-safe (no places for small fingers to get caught) and super-easy to clean.

HTC Evo 4G from Sprint: Smartphones got even speedier with the introduction of the Evo, the first U.S. phone to use a 4G network for Internet speeds that rival a home DSL's and are up to 10 times faster than standard 3G.

Goody Spin Pin: With the average woman spending more than 20 minutes every morning on her hair, even a little time-saving helps a lot. Testers raved that these mane tamers were invisible when anchored in hair and were a cinch to put in.

Sunbeam Convertible Iron and Steamer: This iron converts to a handheld steamer with the turn of a dial (the hot iron soleplate, when detached, rests on a heatproof trivet, so there's no need to wait for cooling to make the switch).

Zoku Quick Pop Maker: The Zoku lets you create your own ice pops from good-for-you ingredients like 100 percent fruit juice and pureed fruit in under 10 minutes.

Apple iPad with Wi-Fi and 3G: Within weeks of its introduction, tens of thousands of apps had been developed for it — with more being launched on a daily basis.

Coleman Instant Tent: Camping just got a lot easier. Good Housekeeping Research Institute testers were able to set up this roomy eight-person tent in under three minutes; dismantling took just 10.

Evolution Robotics Mint Floor Cleaner: This self-propelled robot moves back and forth and all around bare floors, sweeping or mopping with any dry or wet disposable cleaning cloth or reusable microfiber cloth.
