Having a great flashlight is an excellent tool, whether while travelling or around the house. Olight is an industry leader in power flashlight options, and the Marauder Mini 2 is no exception. The compact light is made to last and packed with features. With dual charging options, waterproof construction, and intuitive controls, you cannot go wrong with this flashlight.
ECOVACS has made its big reveal at CES, but the bigger story has nothing to do with a trade show floor and everything to do with how far the company is pushing home robotics. This year’s lineup stretches well beyond clean floors, adding a robotic pool cleaner and an emotional companion robot to a portfolio that already covers vacuuming, mopping, lawn care, and window cleaning. The message is clear. ECOVACS wants fewer chores on your list and fewer moments where technology feels like it is making life harder instead of easier.
No one likes scum on the surface of their pool, but likewise, no one lists “skimming the pool” as their top chore they enjoy. It’s ok, though — Beatbot has the Sora 70 robot, who would love nothing more than to happily spend the day skimming your pool for you.
You might hear “Segway” and picture mall cops on people movers, but Segway is so much more. They’re also in e-bikes, and after their first set dropped last year, they’re refining their e-bike offerings with two new road styles and an off-roading dirtbike, so you can pedal and cruise wherever your heart desires. The new Segway Myon and Segway Muxi (moo-shee) use the brand’s Intelligent Ride System, a software suite that provides everything you need while riding or storing your bike.
Having a pool is a great way to stay cool while enjoying the summer, but pools, like pets, require a lot of responsibility, cleaning, and maintenance. You can outsource the work to your kids, or hire a “poolboy,” or you can get everything sparkling and shiny with the smart, powerful, and hands-off Beatbot AquaSense X.

After well over 100 miles on the MEEPO V3 MAX and feeling like a fairly skilled intermediate-level rider, I still have plenty of fun and room to push for new skill sets on that board. Cruising and even light carving at 20 mph are now commonplace on my rides. Even so, I never thought much about my size until I received the MEEPO Go for review. The V3 Max is rated for riders up to 330 pounds, and as someone who is 6’5″ and 240+ pounds, or 195 cm and 110 kg+ for my metric friends, that makes sense.
If you’re looking to get into birdwatching with a smart feeder that actually looks good in your yard, the Kiwibit Beako Smart Bird Feeder is the perfect choice. The 4K camera delivers great footage, setup is straightforward, and the solar panel means you’ll never worry about charging. Squirrel deterrent may be required, but it’s a really fun way to see birds up close and personal!
At Gear Diary, we review quite a few e-bikes from various manufacturers, but we have yet to test any Jasion models. The company was founded in 2020 and now offers a line of folding, fat-tire, and cruiser bikes. In this review, we examine the Jasion RetroVolt Pro, an upgrade from the previous model in many ways.
Living about thirty miles from my property means I can’t always slip away to check on hunting spots or cattle. Trail cameras do the heavy lifting for me, and lately, the Magic Eagle EagleCam 5 has been my go-to set of eyes in the field. It’s a smart 4G camera that doesn’t require a SIM card, which feels a bit like wizardry until you realize it’s using SignalSync to automatically latch onto whichever local carrier has the strongest signal. The connection setup took only a moment, and it has stayed reliably strong for months.
We recently reviewed the MAMMOTION LUBA 2 AWD, and it has been a workhorse at my house. It is bright, quiet, and tough, always keeping my yard looking sharp while I am away or doing other chores. MAMMOTION mowers use AI precision mapping and RTK+Vision navigation to glide effortlessly around obstacles and deliver a clean cut without a single wire.
Canvas bell tents keep appearing in those dreamy Instagram campsite photos with gravel roads, steaming mugs, and dogs who clearly run the place. The best tents strike a balance between rustic fun and enough comfort to make you forget there’s a couch at home. White Duck Outdoors understands this perfectly; their Altimus Bell Tent and Avalon Bell Tent lines show what happens when tradition meets smart design. What follows is an examination of what these tents are, what each includes, how they hold up beyond the photo opportunity, and which type of camper each is designed for.
It’s hard to believe it, but the temperatures are about to start coming down. We’re still sweltering here in Texas, but our friends up north are already feeling that first crisp bite of fall in the air. Before long, the jackets, gloves, and beanies will be out in full force, and if you’ve ever been caught off guard by a sudden cold snap, you know how miserable that can be. Whether you’re walking the dog, attending a late-season football game, or trying to avoid freezing during a morning commute, it pays to be prepared. The Men’s Weston Heated Jacket is…
As we gear up for rifle hunting season, getting everything ready to hit the woods is essential. The rifle is the most vital piece of hunting gear to protect while traveling, and the Pelican 1750 Protector Long Case is the perfect companion. When paired with the Pelican 1750PRS RE-SET Kit, the case becomes a truly custom protector built to handle the harshest environments on earth.
When life gets chaotic and weekends vanish faster than a cold drink on a hot day, lawn care can slip straight to the bottom of the to-do list. That’s when a robot mower starts to sound less like a luxury and more like salvation. Think of it as a Roomba for your grass, except smarter, stronger, and far more fun to watch in action. Enter the MAMMOTION LUBA 2 AWD, a wire-free, all-wheel-drive robotic mower designed to keep your yard trimmed and tidy without any effort from you.
Charles and I have reviewed numerous electric bikes over the past few years, including several from Heybike. And if you know us, you know we don’t just test bikes for a day and call it a review. We unbox, take initial rides, and then put them to actual use. Since getting the Heybike Mars 3.0, I’ve ridden it all around town, including sketchy stretches of gravel — our town has terrible roads — and I’ve been impressed. Really impressed. Here’s why.
Whether chasing kids in youth sports or sitting in a backyard with friends, a comfortable chair is a great companion. Portable chairs have come a long way, and the GCI Adjustable Rocker is a game-changer. The company offers a wide variety of foldable rocking chairs, and the Adjustable Rocker has quickly become my favorite.
Packing for the backcountry usually means tough choices: bring the heavy gear and eat well, or go light and settle for sad, half-cooked camp meals. GrilTi 2.0 wants to change that with a titanium grill that’s light enough to toss in a backpack yet built to handle a proper meal over real fire. It’s not just a slab of metal; it’s a three-zone cooking surface designed for everything from seared steak to fried eggs, with enough clever design choices to make you forget you’re miles from the nearest kitchen.
I’ll be honest, when I first heard of an electric wagon, I thought it sounded kind of gimmicky. An electric wagon? Really? But after dealing with way too many back-breaking camping trips and sports tournaments, I decided to give the Litheli W1 Pro a shot. Retailing for $219.99, it’s surprisingly helpful when you need to carry a bundle.
The Jetboil Genesis Basecamp System isn’t a backpacking espresso gimmick or a heavy steel beast that eats your trunk space. It’s a two-burner camp stove that folds into itself, slips into a carry bag, and opens to cook like a real kitchen range — not a compromise. If you’ve ever coaxed dinner from a sputtering camp stove, you’ll appreciate the luxury of something that just works. That’s the headline: the Genesis Basecamp is built for people who cook actual meals when camping, not just for those rehydrating noodles.
The Hypershell X Ultra has officially arrived, and while the phrase “wearable exoskeleton” might sound like something reserved for sci-fi heroes, this device is designed for ordinary adventurers who just want to go farther without their legs crying mutiny. Whether your idea of adventure is a multi-day hike, a Saturday spent cycling, or just trying to keep up with kids on a family outing, the X Ultra promises to take a hefty load off your muscles and put it onto its robotic shoulders, or in this case, hips.
