BleeqUp Rover AI Sports Glasses Put a 3K Camera, Safety Alerts, and Open-Ear Audio on Your Face

BleeqUp is using IFA 2026 to introduce the BleeqUp Rover, a $459 pair of AI sports glasses aimed primarily at cyclists and other outdoor athletes who want first-person video without strapping another camera to their body. The BleeqUp Rover combines a 16-megapixel camera, open-ear audio, activity tracking, voice controls, safety detection, and automated video editing in a 53-gram frame. The concept is ambitious, but the appeal is easy to understand: capture the ride, listen to directions or music, keep tabs on what’s happening around you, and leave some of the post-ride editing to software instead of your evening.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Birdfy Hum Feeder Duo Smart Hummingbird Feeder Review: Watch Nature’s Acrobats in Action!

A friend of mine has a pretty backyard with one of those Wi-Fi-enabled bird feeders. “It’s a lot of fun,” he said, “You should get one!” Well, I certainly do NOT have a pretty backyard, but I’ve often toyed with the idea of putting up a hummingbird feeder. What if I could attract hummingbirds AND get them on video? Enter the Birdfy Hum Feeder Duo, which boasts dual 2K cameras.

Huffy Quantis Kids Bike (24-Inch) Review: A Little Assistance for the Little Ones That Comes with Some Caveats

The Huffy Quantis is a Class 2 electric bike designed for younger riders who are ready for something bigger, faster, and a little more grown-up. With 24-inch wheels, a rigid frame, a 250W motor, a 36V 7.8Ah battery, six speeds, three pedal-assist levels, and a left thumb throttle, it seemed like a smart next step for my 11-year-old son, who had outgrown his 20-inch bike and desperately wanted an e-bike. At 5 feet tall and 110 pounds, he fit the target rider well, while my 6-foot, 205-pound frame provided useful testing perspective.

Segway Navimow X430 Review: A 4WD All-Terrain Tank That Mows Fast but Leaves the Fine Details to You

The Segway Navimow X430 is one of the most capable pieces of mowing hardware we’ve tested. Four-wheel drive, dual suspensions, an 84% slope rating, and a class-leading 17-inch cutting width mean it chews through terrain that stops other robots cold—and it finishes a big yard faster than anything else we’ve run. But all that muscle comes in a body that looks and moves like a security robot, and for a $2,499 mower, it missed more spots and left more manual trimming than we expected. If your yard has serious slopes or rough ground, nothing else here competes. If you want…

Beatbot AquaSense X AI Robotic Pool Cleaner Review: A High-Tech Pool Butler That Cleans Up After You and Itself

Having a pool is awesome, especially if you live in Texas; that is, until you have to clean it. Here’s where the Beatbot AquaSense X AI Robotic Pool Cleaner comes in handy. This pool cleaning robot will clean the surface, floor, sides/waterline, and multiple levels of your pool as long as the area is at least 3.3 ft. x 3.3 ft and the water level is at least 14 in., but it also comes with an automatic rinse station, called the AstroRinse Self-Cleaning Station, that will clean the robot and its filter and charge it!

Duracell 5000 Lumens Tri-Powered Lantern Review: Brighter, Smarter, but Missing One Handy Feature

If you’re shopping for a lantern for camping, storm prep, or general emergency use, the updated Duracell 5000 Lumens Tri-Powered Lantern has a lot going for it. It keeps the same basic design as the earlier model, adds a brighter top output, and still offers multiple ways to keep it running. But it also drops one feature that made the older Duracell Tri-Mode 3000 Lumens Lantern a little more versatile.

MAMMOTION LUBA 3 AWD Robotic Mower Review: The McLaren of Robot Mowers Is Our New Favorite

We’ve put a lot of robot mowers through their paces, and the MAMMOTION LUBA 3 AWD4.5 is the one we keep coming back to. It’s our Goldilocks pick: the software is the best we’ve used, the all-wheel-drive chassis goes places other mowers can’t, and it leaves behind a checkerboard that genuinely turns heads. The Tri-Fusion navigation (360° LiDAR, NetRTK, and dual-camera AI vision) means no perimeter wire and no fussing, and because it isn’t fenced in by a buried wire, it can drive itself between two separate sections of lawn split by a driveway.

The New Maverick XL-TM Blind Offers a Roomy, 360-Degree Fortress for All-Season Hunters

One of the best tools a hunter can have is a great blind. Considering the hours that may be spent inside one, it needs to be comfortable, durable, quiet, and thoughtfully designed for the way people actually hunt. If you are tired of cramped quarters, awkward entryways, noisy plastic panels, and windows that never seem to line up with your shot, the new Maverick XL-TM Blind looks like a serious hard-sided upgrade for your property.
