There's all kinds of sites advising what to buy in any given category. One of the best (because of professionalism of the reviewers,in-depth reports the site commissions, etc.) is this: http://thewirecutter.com/
Also of value for home stuff is a brother site: http://thesweethome.com/
NOTE: I consider this fun stuff--feel free to question the relevance here.
