MOVA V70 Ultra Complete Review: This Robot Vacuum Climbs, Scrubs, and Cleans Like It Means It

MOVA is Dreame‘s sibling brand, and the MOVA V70 Ultra Complete looks like an attempt to put every feature the robot vacuum category has invented into one machine. Bagless auto-emptying, boiling water mop washing, a dual-compartment cleaning solution dispenser, extending brush and mop arms, and wheels that climb a three-and-a-half-inch threshold. It lists at $1,299, with introductory pricing of $1,099 through September 1, and either way that’s premium money. I’ve been running the MOVA V70 Ultra Complete across hard floors, carpet, and a lot of furniture legs to see what that buys.

iGulu F1 Smart All-in-One Home Brewer Review: High-Tech Homebrewing Gets Easier, but Not Quite Effortless

In 1993, American Michael Berstein dreamed of bringing microbrewing to consumers through small batches and foolproof kits. The result, Mr. Beer, became a profitable piece of countertop brewing equipment that’s still around today. Since then, advances in technology have inspired plenty of attempts at more sophisticated homebrewing devices, including the iGulu F1 in this review. But can it really perform as advertised? In short: kind of. Fermentation makes true one-step, brew-to-glass simplicity difficult. Still, the iGulu F1 is an intriguing device for homebrewers who value its features.

The Ohsnap Wallet 2 Is a Wallet Made to Fit Your Life and Style

You probably know Ohsnap as the folks behind the incredibly thin Snap Grip, or, if you like mobile gaming, you may be familiar with their MCON magnetic gaming controllers. When they see the back of a phone, they see opportunity, and their latest way to maximize that real estate is their new modular Wallet 2, launching on Kickstarter today! We’re all familiar with the “usual” MagSafe wallet setup. Some sort of pouch or small snap-on compartment that holds 2-3 cards. And if you’re being really spicy, maybe a money clip. Ohsnap’s take is to tackle the idea that everyone’s needs and…

Plaud One Explorer Addition Puts an AI Assistant in Your Ears, but It Wants to Do More Than Take Notes

Plaud is moving its AI note-taking hardware off the desk and into your ears. The Plaud One Explorer Edition is a $249.99 pair of half-in-ear wireless earbuds with a recording case, built-in 4G LTE, and Plaud’s new Agent software, giving it ambitions well beyond music and phone calls. It can record meetings, calls, conversations, and spoken ideas, then transcribe, summarize, and turn that material into follow-up work. The pitch is simple enough: if much of your work begins with conversation, Plaud wants those conversations to become the starting point for whatever comes next.

K-Swiss Women’s Wild Run Trail Running Shoes Review

The K-Swiss Women’s Wild Run Trail Running Shoes are designed for people who want a comfortable, capable shoe for getting outside without necessarily needing something built for technical mountain trails. Whether you are walking through a park, taking a dirt path, walking on a gravel driveway, or navigating uneven grass, roots, mud, and rocks, these shoes offer the traction and cushioning needed for everyday outdoor adventures. I tested the women’s size 10, which is my usual size, and found them comfortable right from the start. They are lightweight, stable, and nicely suited for casual trail walking and light trail running.

Husqvarna Automower 420 iQ Review: The Safe Bet in Robotic Mowing

Husqvarna has been building robotic mowers since 1995, which makes it the closest thing this category has to an incumbent. The Husqvarna Automower 420 iQ sits in the middle of the current lineup: $3,299, wire-free thanks to EPOS satellite navigation, and rated for about an acre. It’s also the mower that replaced my own Automower 450X after ten years of service. I’ve spent the season running it alongside several competing robots, which turned out to be the most useful way to figure out what the Husqvarna badge is actually worth in 2026.

TORRAS COOLiFY Cyber Fold AI Neck Air Conditioner Review: Your Personal AC for Surviving Summer Heat

Summer heat is no joke, and lately it seems worse than ever, especially with Florida’s humidity making time outdoors downright miserable. My preferred strategy is really simple: stay inside from June through September. When I do venture out, I move from my air-conditioned house to my air-conditioned car and then to another air-conditioned destination. Unfortunately, some situations still require being outside. Wouldn’t it be nice to bring air conditioning with you? With the TORRAS COOLiFY Cyber Fold AI Neck Air Conditioner, you almost can. Better yet, it isn’t only for summer—it can also help keep you warm when temperatures drop.

GardePro X66 Pro Cellular Trail Camera Review: Keep an Eye on Wildlife Where Wi-Fi Doesn’t Reach

I live on 12 wooded acres in southern Indiana and enjoy spotting wildlife such as deer, turkeys, possums, raccoons, coyotes, and even a bobcat, which my American bobtail cat, Ozzy, once chased away. I use several trail cameras, but my property is too spread out for every camera to reach home WiFi. The GardePro X66 Pro cellular trail camera solves that problem: it doesn’t need WiFi, only access to a supported cellular network.

DJI Osmo Action 6 Goes Big on 8K, Smarter Framing, and a Better Amazon Bundle Deal

The DJI Osmo Action 6 brings several useful changes to the action-camera category, including an adjustable f/2.0 to f/4.0 aperture, a new 1/1.1″ square sensor, 8K/30fps recording, and 50GB of usable built-in storage. This Amazon bundle also includes two extra batteries, a 64GB microSDXC card, and a 58-piece accessory kit, so you won’t have to start hunting for mounts and spare power before you’ve shot a single clip. It’s still a small, rugged camera meant to go places your phone shouldn’t, but DJI is giving it enough flexibility to handle far more than bike rides, ski runs, and snorkeling trips.

RayNeo Thinks 1 Pair of Smart Glasses Can’t Do It All, So It Built 3

RayNeo is heading to IFA 2026 with a smart glasses lineup that’s less interested in finding one pair to do everything than in splitting the job three ways. The RayNeo iO Smart Glasses focus on lightweight, glanceable information and translation, while the RayNeo GT and GT Max aim at private big-screen entertainment. A new Pocket TV Pro supplies Google TV and Dolby Vision playback for the GT models. Together, the products cover work, travel, presentations, gaming, and streaming, though each asks you to accept a different balance of weight, visibility, battery life, and price.

I hope never to need it, but I’m glad I finally got a dash cam for that extra peace of mind.

I’ve reviewed dozens of keyboards over the years, and I continue to look for unique features in new keyboards that make me want to accept offers to review them. Today we’re going to take a look at the EPOMAKER Glyph keyboard. I accepted the offer to review this one mainly because of its looks.
