MOBI Smart WiFi Automatic Pill Dispenser Review: Get Nagged About Taking Your Meds Correctly and on Time!

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.



TP-Link Tapo C675D Security Camera Review: Two 4K Lenses, Solar Power, and No Subscription Required

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 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.


WUBEN X5 3-in-1 1300 Lumens Compact EDC Flashlight Review: A Pocket-Sized Powerhouse with UV, Laser, and Backup Charging

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.


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.


Elegear Cooling Blanket and Pillowcases Review: A Cool Sleep on Hot Nights

Wow, this has been a hot summer, even by central Florida standards. Keeping the air conditioner cranking away is just tossing cash out the window. Sleeping in a hot bedroom is awful. What is a hot sleeper to do? Enter Elegear. Elegear Cooling Blankets and Cooling Pillowcases promise to deliver some solid chill to even the toastiest snoozers. How do they do it, and does it work? Read on!


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?



Navimow i2 LiDAR Robotic Lawn Mower Review: Third Time’s the Charm — This Is the First Robot Mower That Could Handle My Tree-Filled Yard

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.


Dreame MF10 Bladeless Tower Fan Review: Modern Cooling, Reinvented

I live in a manufactured home and have always struggled to keep it cool and comfortable in the summer without constantly running the air conditioning. 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?


iFLYTEK AINOTE Air 2 Review: A Slim E-Ink Notebook That Nails Note-Taking and Transcription (If You Can Forgive the Software)

The iFLYTEK AINOTE Air 2 is a thin, light, 8.2-inch E Ink tablet built around one big idea: capture everything—handwritten notes, voice recordings, meeting transcriptions—in one place and let AI organize it. And at that core mission, it genuinely delivers. The voice recording and transcription are excellent, the battery-free Wacom pen is a pleasure to write with, and the open Android system lets you install Kindle, Libby, and other apps to turn it into a capable e-reader.


OPPO Reno16 Pro 5G Review: The Android Phone That Made Me Question My Loyalty to Apple

I’ve used iPhones since the original model and, despite occasional Android experiments, never seriously considered leaving Apple’s ecosystem. Retirement and a move to a new country changed that, loosening my ties to the workflow that had kept me firmly in Apple’s camp. So when I was offered the OPPO Reno16 Pro 5G, the timing felt right. I expected an interesting detour before returning to my iPhone. Instead, the experience turned out to be far more compelling than I anticipated. That isn’t what happened. While the final jury is still out, I have to say that I’m loving this phone. In…


Baseus PicoGo Air and PicoGo AM52 Wireless Power Banks Review: Sleek Wireless Power Banks with an Important Catch

If you’ve been shopping for wireless power banks, two things probably matter most: how easy they are to carry and how well they actually charge your phone. Baseus has two new slim options that aim at slightly different needs. The Baseus PicoGo Air is the ultra-thin 5,000 mAh model, while the PicoGo AM52 steps up to 10,000 mAh capacity and adds a permanently attached USB-C cable.


Flipside 5 EDC Wallet Review: A Slim Metal Wallet That Treats Cash Like It Still Exists

I’ve looked at more than a few wallet designs over the years, and most of them force you to pick a side. You either get a super-slim card carrier with almost no personality, or you get something bulkier that handles cash better but takes up too much pocket space. The Flipside 5 aims for a nicer middle ground. This EDC wallet keeps the footprint compact, adds a more premium anodized aluminum shell, and still gives you quick access to both cards and bills.



Mighty Spark Chicken Snack Sticks Review: A Surprisingly Tasty Protein Snack That Doesn’t Feel Like Punishment

When it comes to high-protein meat sticks, I usually expect something practical more than exciting. They are the kind of snack you toss in a bag for later, not the kind of food you get genuinely curious about. That was my mindset going into the Mighty Spark Chicken Snack Sticks. These high-protein meat sticks promise low calories, decent protein, and a healthier-sounding ingredient list, but the real question is simple: do they actually taste good?


PEPPER EMS Suit Review: Bring Science Fiction to Real Life with This Muscle-Zapping, Workout-Maximizing Gear!

If there’s one constant in the world of fitness gadgets, it’s that someone is always offering you optimizations. It can be as simple as something like fat grips to work your forearms while you lift, or as complex as connected wearables and heart rate monitors designed to keep your workout in a precise effort zone. Sometimes these are genuinely great improvements, and sometimes they’re just window dressing. We were offered the chance to try the PEPPER EMS Suit, which leverages electromagnetic stimulation to maximize your workout in less time. Is it a winner? Let’s check it out!
