Kwikset Halo Select Plus Review: A Smart Lock That Makes Remote Home Access Feel Effortless

Smart locks make sense anywhere, but they become especially useful when you are managing a home you are not in every day. That is why we gave the Kwikset Halo Select Plus a try on a holiday home in Puerto Vallarta, where secure keyless entry, remote monitoring, and simple access control were not just nice-to-have features; they were genuinely needed. Guests, cleaners, friends, and maintenance teams may all need access while you are away, and spare keys or lockboxes are never the most elegant, secure, or easy-to-manage solution.


UPDATED: LiberNovo Maxis Leads a Broader Ergonomic Chair Lineup for Bigger Bodies, Cooler Seats, and Lower Budgets

LiberNovo Maxis is the newest signal that ergonomic chair makers are finally paying more attention to people who don’t fit the one-size-fits-most office chair mold. Launching alongside the new Omni Pro and Omni SE, the Maxis Series is built for bigger and taller bodies, supporting people from 5’10” to 6’6″ and up to 399 pounds. Deposit pre-sales begin today in the US, Canada, and the EU, with the full launch set for June 16, 2026. The idea is simple enough: better support shouldn’t require pretending that every body is built the same way.


Saris Cycle-On 2-Bike Hitch Rack Review: A Heavy-Duty E-Bike Hauler That Solves the Lifting Problem

If you’ve ever tried to muscle a 60-pound e-bike onto a hitch rack solo, you already understand the appeal of the Saris Cycle-On 2-Bike Hitch Rack. The included telescoping ramp means you never have to pick a bike up — just roll it on, strap it down, and go. The rack feels seriously well-built, holds two heavy bikes without flinching, and packs in genuinely useful touches like integrated wheels for moving it around the garage and a tilt-away feature that opens your SUV’s trunk without unloading.


Govee Floor Lamp 3 and Lantern Floor Lamp Bring More Color Control to Smart Lighting

Govee is adding two new smart lighting options for the living room: the Govee Floor Lamp 3 and the Govee Lantern Floor Lamp, both aimed at people who want more than a basic corner lamp but don’t necessarily want their home to look like a gaming cave. The Floor Lamp 3 is the more technical flagship, with broader white-light tuning and improved color accuracy, while the Lantern Floor Lamp leans into a softer ambiance with a ring-shaped glow. Both arrive with smart home support, app-driven customization, and prices that stay under $200.


LawnMaster 48V Max 3-in-1 Brushless 19” Cordless Lawn Mower Review: Quiet, Lightweight, and Ready to Cut the Cord

If you’re like me, you probably have a complicated relationship with your lawn. You want it to look like a PGA golf course, but yanking a pull cord until your shoulder files a formal complaint, only to discover you’re out of gas, makes paving it over and painting it green sound tempting. Enter the LawnMaster 48V Max 3-in-1 Brushless 19” Cordless Lawn Mower. It’s sleek, quiet, and basically the Tesla of turf. I’ve been putting it through its paces, and here’s the dirt, or rather the grass, on why it might be your new favorite backyard gadget.


The reMarkable Paper Pure Is a $399 Digital Notebook for People Who Still Think Best on Paper

The reMarkable Paper Pure is the company’s new 10.3″ black-and-white paper tablet, built for people who want the quiet focus of handwriting without fully stepping away from digital work. Announced today, it starts at $399 and is expected to begin shipping in early June. This isn’t the color-screen, frontlit model for people who want every bell and whistle. Instead, Paper Pure looks like reMarkable’s attempt to make its third-generation paper tablet lineup feel less aspirational and more approachable, with faster writing, a crisper display, longer battery life, and enough workflow tools to earn a place beside a laptop.


Nomad Starlink Cable Solves the One Starlink Mini Problem No Camper Wants to Deal With

Nomad’s $69 Nomad Starlink Cable is aimed at a very specific problem: keeping a Starlink Mini powered while in a vehicle without treating the cable as a disposable accessory. The 50′ cable plugs into a 12V or 24V vehicle socket on one end and Starlink Mini on the other, giving campers, RV travelers, boaters, and remote workers enough reach to chase a better view of the sky. It’s wrapped in a Kevlar 29 aramid fiber and nylon outer weave, with an aluminum adapter and silicone gasket built for dust, weather, and road-trip abuse. The idea is simple.


KitchenAid Fully Automatic Espresso Machines with Iced Coffee Want to Make Your Coffee Shop Habit Look Excessive

KitchenAid is adding a chillier option to its countertop coffee lineup with the KitchenAid Fully Automatic Espresso Machines with Iced Coffee, a new three-model series designed for people who want espresso drinks at home without taking up half the kitchen. The machines can brew traditional hot espresso drinks, but the real update is their dedicated over-ice coffee and espresso settings, which brew at a lower temperature so the finished drink is better suited for pouring over ice. They’ll be available on the KitchenAid site beginning today, with pricing starting at $799.99.


The Segway Xaber 300 Electric Dirt Bike Brings Serious Off-Road Specs for $5,299.99

Segway is moving deeper into off-road territory with the Segway Xaber 300 electric dirt bike, a race-inspired e-moto that trades gas, gears, and exhaust noise for instant electric torque and a surprisingly long spec sheet. First shown at CES 2026, the Xaber 300 will go on sale May 15 through select authorized Segway dealers nationwide, starting at $5,299.99. It’s built for off-road use only, so this isn’t your next commuter bike with knobby tires. It’s aimed at riders who want dirt-bike feel, electric simplicity, and enough onboard tech to make old-school purists squint a little.
