Don’t stereotype Home Depot as a hardware store. We’ve discovered some excellent surprises in their online shop that you’ll likely appreciate whether you’re looking to equip the kitchen, install the latest tech, or decorate your place with current styles.

Here at Reviewed, we're smart shoppers. We've shopped everywhere and we know good stuff when we see it. We understand that when you're ready to buy, you want to get it done right away, and we know that there's a lot to be said for the convenience of being able to snag everything you need in one place.

When we scoured Home Depot's site, we discovered that it's a spot where you can buy stuff that will make you the best host in the neighborhood when your friends flock to your lovely home. And you can hold court while showing off smart devices you've got that your friends don't even know about yet.

So, go through the list and see things you never expected you could find at Home Depot. Some of our choices are practical, some are whimsical, and one or two are almost magical. We'll let you have fun deciding which is which.

Home Depot stocks the Queen of Hearts KitchenAid stand mixer. Its vibrant red color will become a focal point in your kitchen when you're not using it to make cookies.

Home Depot sells our favorite stand mixer in Passion Red, a newer, brighter, more energetic shade than the classic Empire Red. This mixer, a limited edition model, is called Queen of Hearts. It's part of KitchenAid’s centennial celebration, and it looks amazing on the counter of a gray or white kitchen. But the main reason to buy the mixer goes way beyond its looks—it’s the astounding array of functions that can up your baking game.
