The United States Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has announced a recall of about 1.5 million OCOOPA rechargeable hand warmers because their built-in lithium-ion batteries can overheat and ignite, posing serious fire and burn hazards.
I am not a capital “C” creator by any stretch of the imagination. I have a fledgling YouTube channel, but for the most part, I make my living with my keyboard. But I was invited to get a hands-on preview of the new DJI Osmo Pocket 4P, and I have to say — I might be changing my mind. The device is tiny and very simple to use. It comes with everything you need to be a creator, except the mind to know what to shoot — that’s still your responsibility. But for everything else, there’s the Osmo Pocket 4P….
Calling the OSCAL PowerMax 6000 “portable” is technically accurate in the same way that calling a washing machine on a dolly portable is accurate. At 101.4 pounds, this isn’t something you’ll casually carry from the garage to a campsite. Fortunately, OSCAL has fitted it with wheels, sturdy handles, and a retractable trolley handle, making it reasonably manageable once it’s on the ground. That substantial weight buys you a 3,600-watt-hour lithium iron phosphate battery, 120- and 240-volt outputs, enough inverter capacity to operate demanding appliances and tools, rapid recharging, and support for up to 15 BP3600 expansion batteries.
It is hard to drive and stay connected these days safely. In some states, it’s illegal to have a phone in your hand while driving (which it should be); other states take it a step further and make it illegal to even look at your phone at a red light. While most newer vehicles have an array of screens and other wireless capabilities, most of the larger commercial trucks on the road don’t have that fancy technology. The BlueParrott Pro B450 makes it easy to stay connected hands-free with a customizable button, rotating mic boom, and active noise canceling. The…
I didn’t know that I needed fancy beverage ice until now! The Typhur Fast Nugget Ice Maker is a countertop-sized unit that churns out soft, chewable ice nuggets you find at fast-food restaurants and convenience stores. This unit is easy to use and clean, and starts producing ice within minutes. It’s also portable. Is it worth adding to your beverage arsenal? Let’s learn more!
The Brinyte WT01 Flashlight is a hefty, rechargeable flashlight with a removable battery, multiple brightness levels, and a charging dock that does much more than keep the light topped off. It is easy to operate, bright enough to light up a dark stairway, and it has one especially useful feature that makes it an excellent choice for a nightstand or emergency spot.
The Quntis 3-Stage Foldable Desk Lamp is an interesting option for anyone who needs more than a small pool of light on their desk. Its long, three-section light bar can be folded into a compact shape, spread wide across a work surface, or arranged in several other configurations. Add a sturdy metal clamp, adjustable brightness and color temperature, a remote control, and a rear backlight, and this lamp has a lot going for it. Let’s take a closer look.

Do you enjoy getting older? Neither do I—who does? As we get older, health issues can become more prominent, leading to taking more medicine. I do not enjoy looking at the bottles of pills I have to take daily because of an inherited lung condition. Not only do I abhor taking so many drugs, but it can also get confusing because this pill is once a day and this pill is two times and … you get the idea. What can help is a pill manager, such as the MOBI Smart WiFi Automatic Pill Dispenser.
The $729 WaterField 48-Hour Travel System is built for the awkward middle ground between an overnight bag and a meeting-ready briefcase. Designed for short business trips, long commutes, and workdays that spill into dinner or the gym, the five-piece set combines a personal-item-sized Carryall, a removable Slim Brief, two packing cubes, and a suspension shoulder strap. The idea is sensible: keep clothing and technology together while traveling, then separate the office portion when it’s time to look less like someone who just sprinted through Terminal B with two days of belongings and one charger too many.
If you need an inexpensive table beside a couch or chair, the Yuede Side Table offers a practical combination of a compact footprint, three usable tiers, and a warm wood-look finish. It arrives flat-packed, so some assembly is required, but the finished table looks nice and provides convenient spots for a drink, a coaster, books, and other living-room essentials.
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.
Keeping an eye on my property while I’m away from home is always a concern because my house is pretty secluded. For that reason, I have many security cameras installed both inside and outside my home. I enjoy testing a variety of cameras because I’m always looking for the next best one that I can add to my array. Today we’re taking a look at the TP-Link Tapo C675D Security Camera. It’s two cameras in one! Let’s see if it’s a keeper.
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.
There is an entire population of people who need to track key health metrics like heart rate, blood pressure, respiration rate, blood oxygen, and more. Actually, tracking those usually involves multiple devices, regular charging, and taking readings. The Casana Smart Seat simplifies all that by taking readings every time you sit on the toilet.
If you think your smartphone’s flashlight is cutting it, I’m here to gently stage an intervention. Today, we are diving deep into a tiny titan that’s been living in my pocket and saving my shins from late-night coffee runs: the WUBEN X5 3-in-1 Compact EDC Flashlight. WUBEN has been dropping some fantastic gear lately, as you can see from our review of the WUBEN X1 Pro. The X5 is smaller and easier to carry but also hits with big 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…
If you’re an elder millennial gamer like me, you’ve gone through dozens of gaming mice over the past two decades or so. Remember when adding custom weight amounts to “tune” your gaming mouse was a thing? The latest trend among pros and consumers is in the opposite direction with ultralight mice in order to give you lightning-fast control in quick-paced games. I tested the Rapoo VT2 MAX Gaming Mouse for a few weeks to find out, and it did not disappoint! What’s in the Box The Rapoo VT2 MAX Gaming Mouse comes in a sleek box with an “8K Faraday-shield…
REDMAGIC has finally announced full details and specifications for its upcoming Astra 2 Gaming Tablet, and it looks like a stunner.

It’s safe to say that smart glasses are gaining momentum. We’re constantly looking for ways to refine the noise around us into something usable, and the allure of distilling all that into something you can easily see in front of you is irresistible. Halliday has refined their vision with the G2 AI glasses, their second round of smart glasses, and they think they’ve cracked the code to make the experience smarter and smoother than ever!
Samsung launched a gaggle of new devices at its summer Unpacked event in London today. There was a lot of “new” at the event, including some new branding, some new features, and even a new form factor. All told, six new devices are coming in just two weeks at a variety of price points. Samsung is launching the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra, the Galaxy Z Fold 8, the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, and the Galaxy Watch 9 in two sizes — 44mm and 40mm.
