First up -- dishwashers. Maybe not the most exciting purchase, but at the end of the day, knowing exactly what to buy and what features you really need can save you a bundle. Consumer reporter John Matarese cuts through the confusion and shows how uninformed consumers may end up spending hundreds extra that buys little in the long run.

Next, shopping mom Stacy Case researches tub toys that make bath time safe and fun, explaining that a child's age and dexterity should serve as a buying guide. Then, tech guru Rob Walters explains the pros and cons of competing high-def formats, HD-DVD and Blu-ray discs.

Finally, Lesley Machado takes us shopping for the travelers on our lists, providing an up-close look at some of the latest luggage options, along with items to help survive those extra-long flights. We wrap up with a little something for our furry friends and get a few tips on keeping dogs and cats clean to prevent that "pet smell" from taking over the house!
