Feno Smartbrush Founders Edition Bundle Review: The 20-Second Toothbrush Gunning for Your Dentist’s Job

If you’re someone who’s ever stood in front of your bathroom mirror, half-asleep, robotically brushing your teeth after mentally (mis)calculating how many times you could hit snooze and still make it to work — this smartbrush is for you. The Feno Smartbrush isn’t just another electric toothbrush or even just a smart toothbrush; it is a full-mouth, AI-powered, oral-health-summarizing, plaque-busting mini dental clinic in the palm of your hand. I’ve been testing the Feno Smartbrush Founders Edition Bundle to see if it’s worth the hype (and the price tag). Spoiler: There’s a lot to talk about.

Isaac by PreEvnt Wants to Make Diabetes Management As Easy As Breathing!

There are 830 million people in the world with some form of diabetes. Unfortunately, that means it’s almost guaranteed that someone you know needs to deal with the hassle of tracking blood sugar. Usually, this is done by testing their blood periodically throughout the day, which means lots of poking of fingertips. Isaac by PreEvnt has a better, less messy plan by harnessing the power of your breath!

You Won’t Have to Fear Needles Anymore with the FlowBeams BoldJet Needle-Free Injector

Want to know the best way to get otherwise tough grown adults to freak out? Ask them how they feel about needles. Even if injections don’t bother you, they’re generally not a fun experience. That’s where the FlowBeams BoldJet comes in; it channels Star Trek with its new needle-free injection device. If you’re wondering how a needle-free injection works, the answer is lasers. Specifically, what FlowBeams says is “laser-induced cavitation,” which sounds slightly terrifying. However, FlowBeams says the process is minimally invasive and not painful, and probably not in the same way your childhood doctor said it wouldn’t hurt right…

Amazfit T-Rex 3 Review: A Rugged, Feature-Packed Upgrade for Outdoor Enthusiasts

I was excited to be offered the Amazfit T-Rex 3 to test and review; I have been an Amazfit fan for years. The GTR 2 was my “sleek, dress up,” and first Amazfit watch, and the original T-Rex has been my daily wear for the last several years. It didn’t take long for me to realize that the first-gen model T-Rex to the new T-Rex 3 was a massive upgrade. It offers 170+ sports modes, up to three weeks of battery life, dual-band GPS, upgraded health monitoring, and many other amazing features.

Elehear Alpha Pro OTC Hearing Aids Review: Elevating Everyday Sound Quality with Customizable, High-Tech Features

When Judie, my mother-in-law, asked me to check out the Elehear Alpha Pro Over the Counter (OTC) hearing aids she had received, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Thanks to the doctors who fixed my ears when I was younger, I have always had better-than-average hearing. After decades of shooting sports, hunting, working around heavy equipment, and a couple of years being deployed, I still have normal hearing, more or less. However, I tested them and came to a surprising conclusion: Even though I can hear relatively well, I had no clue I was missing out on so much!

Withings ScanWatch Nova Review: The Ultimate Dive-Style Hybrid Watch Gets Even Better

In 2022, I reviewed the Withings ScanWatch Horizon. I called it the perfect combination of the chunky stainless diving-style watches that I love with the added benefit of accurate, advanced health-metrics tracking that even the most expensive diving-style watches can’t provide. Two years later, the Horizon has been refreshed as the Withings ScanWatch Nova. As you’ll see, the Nova is a very handsome hybrid smartwatch that gathers accurate health-tracking metrics while looking stylish. But, of course, Withings has added even more features to make the latest luxury ScanWatch even more compelling.

OnePlus Watch 2 Review: It’s Close to Android Smartwatch Perfection

Android users have long expressed frustration with the lack of compelling Wear OS smartwatch options compared to the seamless integration and features enjoyed by Apple Watch users through the iOS ecosystem. We’ve seen multiple companies try and fail at Android Watches for multiple reasons, including a lack of features or simply horrific battery life. The OnePlus Watch 2 aims to tackle these issues with a premium design that uses a dual-engine architecture with two flagship chipsets to optimize performance so the Watch 2 can deliver up to 100 hours of battery life in Smart Mode with full Google apps integration.

Emma Original Mattress Review: Offers Great Value and a Good Night’s Sleep

Nine years ago, I needed a new mattress. That led to my first experience with a “bed in a box,” and I was impressed. Raina and I have tried a few different mattresses in the years since. But over time, one or the other of us has found faults with whatever mattress we were using, even if the other was sleeping okay on it. We’re optimistic that our latest, the Emma Original Mattress, will finally give us both a great night’s sleep.

Garmin Recognizes Women Need Devices That Work as Hard as They Do!

Garmin is synonymous with excellence in GPS tracking for athletic activities. But also, when most people think of Garmin, they think of big, chunky running watches. It’s safe to say that most GPS watches aren’t designed for aesthetics first, but Garmin has some cool ideas up their (sweat-wicking) sleeves to make fitness tracking a lot more comfortable. First of all, if you’re someone who has ever had to wear a support garment under their shirt, you’ll know that chest straps can often get in the way of sports bras. Garmin is trying to solve that with the HRM-Fit. It’s designed…
