MEEPO Launches the MONSTER 2500 All-Terrain Skateboard with Nearly 100 Miles of Range!

Electric skateboards are one of my favorite ways to zip around the neighborhood, but every time I set out on my MEEPO Voyager X Electric Skateboard, there are multiple spots I have to watch out for lest I eat asphalt. We also have a few slightly bumpy dirt paths in our vicinity that I wouldn’t dare tackle on a street board, so when MEEPO announced their new MONSTER 2500 All-Terrain Skateboard, I perked right up.

ROKR Dinosaur Lab Pinball MGP01 First Look: A Buildable Tabletop Pinball Machine with Real Flippers, Lights, and Jurassic Park Energy

ROKR has taken its model-kit expertise and pointed it at something most people don’t expect from a 3D puzzle company: a working pinball machine. The ROKR Dinosaur Lab Pinball MGP01 is a 319-piece kit that turns into a fully playable desktop pinball game with mechanical flippers, a real bumper that fires the ball back at you, lighting effects, and a soundtrack that borrows liberally from a certain island theme park movie.

Wyze Cam Pan v4 and Wyze Duo Cam Pan Indoor/Outdoor Security Cameras Review: Budget Cams with Premium Features

I may have an unhealthy fascination with security cameras. I currently have 5 PoE cameras and 4 cellular trail cams on my property. Even though I work from home these days, I still like receiving notifications when the UPS or FedEx driver pulls up with my latest review sample or when a 5-point buck walks into our meadow. When offers for new security cameras come up for review, I’m always interested, so the latest cameras that I’ve set up and tested are the Wyze Duo Cam Pan and Wyze Cam Pan v4 indoor/outdoor cameras. Let’s take a closer look at…

Looki L1 Wearable Lifelogging Camera Review: This AI Camera Turned My Everyday Life Into My Favorite Digital Journal

I like recording the notable and not-so-notable moments of my life. I’ve done this in handwritten journals since I was a kid. In the past few years, I’ve realized that I would rather save daily memories digitally because I can include lots of photos, and I can type so much faster than I can write on pen and paper. I’ve used digital journaling apps and cool trip recording apps like Time Atlas, and now I am excited to tell you all about the Looki L1 Wearable Lifelogging camera. Yes, it uses AI, but what it can do with AI is…

Weber Genesis EX-325W Smart Gas Grill Review: Modern Smarts, Excellent Searing, and a Few Cost-Cutting Surprises

The Weber Genesis EX-325W delivers where it counts most: it cooks evenly, keeps meat juicy, and the 750°F Sear Zone genuinely works. The Wi-Fi-connected thermometer and Weber Connect app add a layer of modern convenience that, when everything connects properly, feels like the future of backyard grilling. But this grill also shows signs of cost-cutting that some of its predecessors didn’t have—lightweight knobs, exposed igniter wiring, and gaps in the base that invite yard debris. It’s a very good grill with some head-scratching design choices, and after two months of cooking on it, we’d buy it again—just with eyes open.

Motorola Razr Fold Review: Big Screen Ambition Meets Battery Life That Means Business

The Motorola Razr Fold is Motorola’s most direct swing at the book-style foldable phone, and that alone makes it a more interesting device than its familiar Razr name might suggest. The Razr name has always kept the memory of a phone that snapped shut with attitude. This one is different. It opens like a small tablet, closes like a large traditional smartphone, and tries to make the case that a foldable can be practical without feeling like a sensitive science project that happens to make calls.

Ausom DT2 Pro Electric Scooter Review: Dual-Motor Power, Massive Battery, and a Trigger Throttle I Don’t Want to Give Up

The Ausom DT2 Pro is a high-powered dual-motor electric scooter with serious speed, torque, and one of the largest batteries in its class. Its dual 1100W motors, delivering 2912W at peak, conquered a steep hill that has humbled other scooters we’ve tested, while the finger-trigger throttle is a welcome upgrade over the usual thumb paddle. The ride is stable and comfortable, with excellent fit and finish and strong hydraulic brakes. But it’s heavy, charges slowly, and lacks adjustable handlebars. Do its power, range, and refinement make it easy to recommend?

You know the saying, “the third time’s the charm”? That may finally be true for me and robot lawn mowers. My first review unit couldn’t handle the weak GPS signal caused by the many trees in my yard. A year or two later, I tried another brand, hoping the technology had improved, but it failed for the same reason. Fast-forward another year, and I’ve been testing the Navimow i2 LiDAR mower, which doesn’t rely on GPS. Will this be the robot mower that finally works in my yard? Read on to find out.

I’ve tried several tower fans, but none worked very well. Then I found the Dreame MF10 Bladeless Tower Fan. Instead of blowing air directly at you, it circulates air from side to side and top to bottom, helping reduce hot spots and create more balanced comfort throughout the room. The question is: can the Dreame MF10 perform better than the other fans I’ve tried?
