ESR iPhone 17 Classic Hybrid Magnetic Cases with Stash Stand Add Practical and Affordable Protection

ESR iPhone 17 Classic Hybrid Magnetic Cases with Stash Stand are designed for a simple reality: phones get dropped, camera bumps get scraped, and clear cases rarely stay clear for long. With options for the iPhone 17e, iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max, ESR’s new lineup focuses on the sort of everyday protection that actually matters, while adding a built-in stand and magnetic charging support that won’t make your phone feel clunky.


4Patriots Blackout Buddy Emergency Power Supply Review: The Automatic Fridge Backup Battery

If you want automatic backup power that kicks in the instant the lights go out, the 4Patriots Blackout Buddy delivers exactly what it promises. Installation is dead simple, the automatic switchover is seamless, and the remote monitoring screen is genuinely useful. But here’s the catch: fridge/freezer combos with ice makers may exceed the 600W max output. Our GE Profile fridge/freezer pulled 620W at peak, which means this may not work for some appliances. For older, lower-power fridges or freezers? It may work, but you’ll need to check the power draw.


Bob and Brad Zero Pro Ultra-Quiet Eye Massager Review: Headache Relief Is Available at Home and On-the-Go

When I was a kid and would get sinus infections, my mom’s solution was always to heat up a washcloth in the microwave. The heat over my aching sinuses would help until the washcloth cooled off, and then I had a slightly less bad headache and a damp forehead. Bob and Brad have taken their knowledge of massage and expanded it from guns to eye massagers, and they’re also addressing the hot and cold compress treatment as well with the Bob and Brad Zero Pro Ultra-Quiet Eye Massager!


KitchenAid Artisan Plus Stand Mixer Debuts with 11 Speeds, a Bowl Light, and Smarter Mixing Features

The KitchenAid Artisan Plus Stand Mixer is KitchenAid’s latest update to a kitchen staple that has spent decades on countertops and wedding registries. This new 5-quart tilt-head model keeps the familiar silhouette, but adds some genuinely useful upgrades, including finer speed control, a gentler fold setting, a built-in LED bowl light, stainless steel accessories, and a redesigned beater meant to cut down on scraping.


Arctic Zone Titan PRO 55Q vs Titan 24-Can Backpack Cooler Review: Which Cooler Is Best for You?

With Spring having sprung and Summer just around the corner, it’s a perfect time to talk about coolers.  Luckily for our readers and us, Arctic Zone sent us a couple of very different coolers for testing. The Arctic Zone Titan Pro 55q Roto Cooler is a powerhouse that retains ice for 10 days, while the Arctic Zone 24-Can Backpack Cooler is a grab-and-go option for short trips. Arctic Zone sent us two coolers to test: the massive Titan PRO 55Q Roto Cooler ($400) and the far more portable Titan 24-Can Backpack Cooler ($52.99). One’s a beast that keeps ice for…


Soundboks Mix Launches at $799 with 121 dB Sound and up to 40 Hours of Battery Life

The Soundboks Mix is SOUNDBOKS‘ newest Bluetooth speaker, and it’s very clearly not trying to be tasteful background audio for a quiet dinner party. The Danish brand says this $799 speaker is built to bring high-output sound into more everyday settings, with up to 121 dB of volume, a swappable battery, app-based sound controls, and an outdoor-friendly design. In other words, it’s meant for the kind of gathering where the music is part of the event, not just something humming politely in the corner.


HP FilmScan 7″ Touch Screen Film & Slide Scanner Digitizer (HPFS700) Offers an Even Bigger Window into the Past

There is a particular kind of gadget that earns its keep not because it saves time, but because it rescues moments that would otherwise stay trapped in a binder, a carousel, or a shoebox no one has opened in years. The HP FilmScan 7″ Touch Screen Film & Slide Scanner Digitizer (HPFS700) clearly aims for that territory. At $259.99, it isn’t trying to be a professional restoration lab in a box; it’s trying to be the thing that finally gets you to do something with all those old slides and negatives you keep meaning to deal with. That distinction matters.


FEIERDUN QuickDial DB1 Adjustable Dumbbell Set Review: The Adjustable Dumbbells That Finally Kill “Plate Math”

I love working out at home, but there are a few things to tackle when you’re setting up a home gym. One of the biggest is space; weights and equipment take up a lot of room. The second is cost; it’s not cheap to accumulate a full set of dumbbells in multiple weight sets. FEIERDUN neatly solves both of these with the QuickDial DB1 Adjustable Dumbbell Set, which is designed as an all-in-one, space-saving setup that replaces an entire rack of weights.


Govee Outdoor Chromatic String Lights Bring Multi-Color Gradients to Every Single Bulb

Outdoor string lights usually fall into one of two categories. They’re either simple white bulbs meant to create a warm patio glow, or colorful smart lights where each bulb shows a single color at a time. The new Govee Outdoor Chromatic String Lights try to bridge that gap. Instead of limiting each bulb to one color, the system allows multiple colors to appear within a single bulb, creating gradients and shifting effects along the string. It’s a subtle distinction on paper, but it represents a different way of thinking about decorative outdoor lighting.


15.6″ Cozyla Calendar+ 2 Review: The Smart Family Hub That Finally Gets Everyone on the Same Page

Managing a household is hard, whether you’re doing it solo or juggling the needs of a full family. There are endless moving pieces to track, from overlapping schedules and after-school activities to meal planning, grocery runs, and the constant mystery of who forgot to mention we’re out of toilet paper. Traditional family calendars used to help keep everyone aligned, but they relied on someone actually updating them. Cozyla takes that familiar concept and modernizes it with the Calendar+ 2, transforming a simple shared calendar into a centralized, interactive hub that keeps every detail and every person on track.

Fender’s “Workhorse” Turns 75: The Telecaster Diamond Jubilee is Here!

If you were to look up “don’t mess with a classic” in the dictionary, you’d probably see a picture of a Fender Telecaster. The Telecaster is my single favorite guitar on earth! Since 1951, this slab of wood and two pickups has been the backbone of everything from chicken-pickin’ country to face-melting indie rock. Fender is throwing a birthday bash with a commemorative collection that proves this old dog has plenty of new tricks. Whether you want to feel like you’re playing a relic from a smoky 1950s dive bar or a spaceship from the future, there’s something here for…


BOOX Go 10.3 (Gen II) E Ink Tablet Adds Front Light and Lighter Design

BOOX has introduced the BOOX Go 10.3 (Gen II), the latest version of its 10.3″ E Ink tablet designed for reading, writing, and focused work without the visual fatigue that often comes with traditional screens. The new generation arrives in two models, including a Lumi version with a built-in front light for reading and note-taking in dim environments. Starting at $419.99, the device continues BOOX’s strategy of blending the calm simplicity of E Ink with the flexibility of a full Android operating system.


Newtral NT002 Ergonomic Home Office Chair Review: Modern Aesthetic with Active Lumbar Support

While studying at San Diego State University, Newtral founder Stan Deng developed Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and severe back pain, which planted in him the seed for ergonomic innovation. The company manufactures a line of office and gaming chairs and accessories, including standing desks and gaming tables. In this review, we look at their top-of-the-line Newtral NT002 Ergonomic Home Office Chair with Ato-following Lumbar Support.



BODEGA JC-115DR 24″ Wine and Beverage Refrigerator Review: A Dual-Zone Cooler That Fits Seamlessly into a Growing Wine Setup

Anyone who enjoys entertaining eventually runs into the same problem: the main kitchen refrigerator isn’t a great place to store wine. Temperatures fluctuate, bottles get pushed around every time someone grabs a snack, and space disappears quickly. That’s where a dedicated wine refrigerator begins to make sense. The BODEGA JC-115DR 24″ Wine and Beverage Refrigerator is built to handle that role while offering more flexibility than a traditional wine cooler. It uses two independently controlled temperature zones and a dual-door layout, allowing it to store both wine and canned beverages in the same unit.


iPhone 17e: Apple’s Affordable iPhone Finally Feels Like a First-Class Citizen

Apple has never been shy about charging premium prices, so any iPhone that lands closer to the middle of the market tends to come with a quiet disclaimer. Something is usually missing. A feature disappears, a capability gets trimmed back, or the phone arrives with the faint suggestion that the real experience costs a few hundred dollars more. The iPhone 17e, starting at $599, does not entirely escape that dynamic. Apple still reserves its most extravagant hardware for the higher tiers. Yet this model feels less like a consolation prize than earlier “budget” iPhones.


Tide Evo Reimagines Laundry Detergent with a 6-Layer Dissolvable Tile for Cold Water Washing

Laundry detergent has looked more or less the same for decades. You pour liquid from a heavy plastic jug, scoop powder from a box, or toss in a pod and hope it dissolves the way it should. Tide evo is trying to change that by turning detergent into a lightweight, dissolvable tile that promises the same cleaning power without the bulky bottle. It sounds simple, but the idea took years to develop.


I Tested Apple’s iPhone 17 and 17 Pro Max in the Yukon: Here’s What I Learned

It’s been almost six months since Apple released the iPhone 17, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max, alongside the iPhone Air, and Apple just unveiled the iPhone 17e. I’ve been using a lavender iPhone 17 and a cosmic orange iPhone 17 Pro Max on and off since late September 2025, primarily to create content, so I think it’s time for a proper review. Currently, my main phone is Google’s Pixel 10 Pro XL (the Canadian model with US-compatible 5G bands and a SIM tray), and while I mostly review Android phones, I prefer using iPhones to create content, especially for…


Nothing’s Boldest Lineup Yet: Hands-On with the Phone (4a) Pro, Phone (4a), and the Colorful New Headphone (a)

Nothing launched a new lineup of smartphones and audio today in London, including the Nothing Phone (4a) Pro, the Nothing Phone (4a), and the Nothing Headphone (a). Supported by last year’s flagship Nothing Phone (3) and Nothing Headphone (1), this represents the strongest lineup of phones and audio that the company has ever launched. Right now, Nothing has a pretty intimidating portfolio of devices, top to bottom.


The $78 KANE Revive OB Turns the Humble Slide Into a Serious Recovery Shoe

Athletes tend to focus on performance. Recovery usually happens in the quieter moments between workouts, games, and everything else that fills a day. Those small transitions, like walking out of the gym, standing in line for coffee after a long run, or shuffling around the house after leg day, can determine how your body feels the next morning. KANE builds recovery shoes specifically for those moments when your feet are tired, but you’re not quite done moving. The KANE Revive OB takes the brand’s familiar recovery design and reshapes it into a casual open-back slip-on built for quick transitions.
