GardePro X66 3.0 Ultra Cellular Trail Camera Review:

I’ve been using GardePro trail cameras for months now, and I’ve become a collector. I have seven of them around my property. Five are the company’s long-range wireless cameras that connect through a hub, and the others are cellular models. Why so many cameras? I like seeing what’s in my yard when I’m not looking. Deer, turkey, coyotes, possums, skunks… something is usually passing through. Now, I’m checking out the GardePro X66 3.0 Ultra. I recently reviewed the GardePro X66 Pro, but this model is interesting because of its larger battery. Let’s take a look.

Rowan Nova Pure Espresso Machine Review: Be Your Own Barista at Home — Snooty Attitude Not Required!

Coffee is the nectar of the gods. If you don’t think so, why are you reading this? I mean, really, you have to be some kind of coffee nerd to care about espresso machines. And I’m glad you’re here. I am by no means a barista, and I don’t harbor any false notions that I am. I do, however, enjoy coffee in all its forms. So when I was offered the Rowan Nova Pre Espresso Machine for review, I begged and pleaded to get my hands on it. Guess what? Guess what? C’mon guess. Yeah, I got it!

SteelSeries Aeon Pro Review: The Hot-Swappable Battery Controller That Never Stops Playing

If you’ve ever had a controller die mid-match, you know the feeling. One minute you’re lining up a shot; the next, you’re hunting for a cable too short to reach the couch. It has happened to us more times than we’d like to admit. SteelSeries thinks it has an answer with the SteelSeries Aeon Pro, a $259.99 Xbox and PC controller built around a charging dock and a pair of swappable batteries. We spent several weeks with it on PC, mostly in Rocket League, to see if it lives up to the promise.

Ninja Fireside360 Review: The Smokeless Fire Pit with a Built-In Heater That Keeps Everyone Outside

There’s a point every fall when backyard evenings start getting cut short. The sun drops, someone grabs a hoodie, and before long everyone has drifted back inside. Wood fire pits leave your clothes smelling like smoke, and patio heaters keep you warm without giving anyone much of a reason to gather around them. Ninja thinks it can do both with the Ninja Fireside360, a propane fire pit with a built-in outdoor heater. We spent the past few weeks finding out whether it can keep a group outside long after dark.

OBSBOT Meet Flip Webcam Review: A Pocket-Size 4K Webcam That Folds Away When You’re Done

I’ve been using an OBSBOT Tiny 2 as my everyday webcam, and I really enjoy it. One of my favorite things is that it can follow me as I move around. Stand up, sit back down, move a little, and the camera follows the subject. But sometimes you don’t need all of that. Sometimes you just want a small webcam that you can put on a laptop, use, and pack away. That’s what interested me about the OBSBOT Meet Flip. It records in 4K, has a built-in microphone, and folds into a small package when you’re done.

Ninja MultiPot XL 12-in-1 DualZone Multicooker Review: The Slow Cooker That Sears, Fries, and Cooks Two Meals at Once

I have recently reviewed several SharkNinja kitchen appliances and have been happy with all of them. They have outdone themselves once again with the Ninja MultiPot XL 12-in-1 DualZone Multicooker. As you will see, when I say this thing does it all, it does it all! My wife is the most excellent assistant when it comes to kitchen products, and the review process has been enjoyable and probably will force me to get on a diet! We put the MultiPot through its paces, and the results speak for themselves.

Hylle Review: Catalog Your Bookshelf by Photo With This AI Book Scanner App

Do you prefer physical books or eBooks? I’m a little of both, but lately I’ve gotten back into sitting on the couch with a regular book and flipping actual pages. There’s something nice about it. Keeping track of all those books, though? That’s another story. That’s why I was excited to try Hylle, an app that promises to turn photos of your bookshelves into a searchable library.

Eufy Video Doorbell S4 Review: One Lens Does the Work of Two, and It’s Subscription-Free

Video doorbells have spent years fighting the same problem: a porch is taller and wider than a camera can comfortably see. Eufy‘s last answer was the E340, which put a second camera on the bottom to watch for packages. The new Eufy Video Doorbell S4 goes a different way, with a single fisheye lens that covers 180 degrees both side to side and top to bottom, then uses AI to frame and follow whoever walks up. We swapped out our own E340 for the S4 to see whether one lens really can do the work of two.

Neurable One Review: Headphones That Listen to Your Brain While You Listen to Everything Else

Most wearables obsess over the body, tracking steps, sleep, heart rate, and how long you’ve been sitting. The $499 Neurable One aims higher, combining premium over-ear ANC with 12 EEG sensors woven into the ear pads to measure brain activity. Its app turns that data into estimates of focus, cognitive load, processing speed, sleepiness, stress, and remaining mental energy. That’s an ambitious amount of insight to pull from something that still has to sound good, feel comfortable, and work like normal headphones, and this isn’t Neurable’s first trip around this particular block.

VTOMAN FlashSpeed Pro 3600 Portable Power Station Review: Great Value and Performance, but Calling It Portable Might Be a Stretch

A dizzying array of “portable power stations” is on the market these days, ranging from tiny, bread-loaf-sized, low-wattage/low-storage options to robust, permanent whole-home solutions. The VTOMAN FlashSpeed Pro 3600 Portable Power Station lands right at the divide between portable power stations and the large stationary home backup units, combining both large storage capacity and portability, though there should probably be an asterisk next to that last term.

Graywind Motorized Blackout Roller Shades Review: Big Windows, Blazing Sun, and a Smarter Way to Beat the Heat

Once upon a time, reliable indoor lighting wasn’t an option. Before the modern power grid, people depended on something simpler: the sun. Older homes featured enormous windows to maximize daylight. Our rural mountain home, built in the late 1800s, is no exception. I love the huge 60-inch windows on both floors, but there’s a downside. The western side practically bakes in the summer, and none of our windows offer UV protection. So, when I was offered the chance to review the Graywind Motorized Blackout Roller Shades, I was eager to see whether modern technology could solve an old-fashioned problem.
