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

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.

Chasesun Rechargeable Neck Fan Review: Dorky? Maybe. Surprisingly Great at Keeping You Cool? Absolutely.

When the weather heats up, as it does for me in southern Indiana, a rechargeable neck fan can look a little silly and still make perfect sense. That is exactly the category this Chasesun Rechargeable Neck Fan falls into. It is a wearable personal fan designed to sit around your neck and push air upward toward your chin and face, which is where cooling relief really matters when you are outside, gardening, walking, or just trying to survive a sweltering summer afternoon.

Infinity X1 2000 Lumen Camp Light Review: A Bright, Versatile Light for Camping, Work, and Anywhere You Need Portable Illumination

A good portable light can be useful for a lot more than camping. The Infinity X1 2000 Lumen Camp Light is designed for campsites, but it also looks like the kind of gear that could be just as handy in a barn, workshop, shed, or anywhere electricity is limited. It promises high output, adjustable color temperature, tripod-style support, a remote control, and even solar panel compatibility. After taking a close look at the design and trying it in a dark barn, this light turns out to be more practical than its name alone might suggest.

ECOVACS GOAT A3000 LiDAR PRO Review: Gorgeous Lawn Lines, Clever Edge Trimming, and One Pricey Catch

Map your property once, and the ECOVACS GOAT A3000 LiDAR PRO turns into one of the best set-it-and-forget-it mowers we’ve used. It lays down clean, aesthetic lines with almost no effort on our part, and the dual-disc cutting deck chews through grass fast. The headline feature is TrueEdge, an integrated trimmer that’s supposed to handle the edges no robot mower can normally reach—and to its credit, it gets closer than anything else we’ve tested. But it doesn’t fully eliminate the manual string trimming we were hoping to leave behind.

The 3-burner gas grill is perfect for those quick cooks after work.

MOVA LIDAX Ultra 1000 Lawn Mower Review: A Wire-Free Robot Mower for People Who Don’t Want Their Yard Turned into a Weekend Engineering Project

Robot lawn mowers have been around long enough that the novelty has worn off, but the setup pain hasn’t always followed it out the door. Older models often required burying or staking boundary wires around the yard, while newer premium models may lean on RTK positioning, which usually means installing a reference station with a clear view of the sky. Both approaches can work, but neither is exactly charming when all you want is a neatly maintained lawn without spending Saturday explaining to your grass where it lives.

The included telescoping ramp means you never have to pick a bike up — just roll it on, strap it down, and go. The rack feels seriously well-built, holds two heavy bikes without flinching, and packs in genuinely useful touches like integrated wheels for moving it around the garage and a tilt-away feature that opens your SUV’s trunk without unloading.

If you’re like me, you probably have a complicated relationship with your lawn. You want it to look like a PGA golf course, but yanking a pull cord until your shoulder files a formal complaint, only to discover you’re out of gas, makes paving it over and painting it green sound tempting. Enter the LawnMaster 48V Max 3-in-1 Brushless 19” Cordless Lawn Mower. It’s sleek, quiet, and basically the Tesla of turf. I’ve been putting it through its paces, and here’s the dirt, or rather the grass, on why it might be your new favorite backyard gadget.
