Portable power stations have become an excellent tool for anyone on the go or during an emergency. With many options available, sometimes users just need something ultra-portable. There is not always the need to keep household appliances running, but devices might just need to be charged, especially while mobile.

Riding a bike is a fantastic form of transportation. Whether commuting in a city, riding around campus from class to class, or just riding for enjoyment, a bicycle is an eco-friendly way to travel. An electric bicycle combines the ease of traditional cycling with motorized assistance and a rechargeable battery. I was sent a Lectric XPress 750 Step-Thru eBike to try; it was my first time using an electric bike, and I loved the experience.

Portable power stations come in many sizes and use cases. We recently reviewed the Ampace Andes 600 Pro, a great medium-sized power option. The Andes 1500 portable power station has a fast-charging, large-capacity battery and higher output. It sports the same design and build qualities as its smaller sibling and will be a great power option.
Unwrapping packages should be a small joy, not a daily struggle—or a trip to the urgent care clinic because a pair of open scissors or a random steak knife slipped while being misused. With so many of us shopping online today, resulting in an endless parade of deliveries from Amazon, Hello Fresh, Chewy, and, in my case, products to review—a reliable, safe, and easy-to-use tool that can slice through all that tape, plastic, and shrink wrap is necessary. Enter Slice, the ultimate cutting tool that brings safety and efficiency to your daily unboxing routine.
Hong Kong-based Govee is a well-established manufacturer of smart home lighting and appliances. Their smart lighting products include gaming lights, TV lights, and wall lights, many of which we have reviewed at Gear Diary. In this review, we look at the Outdoor Triad Floodlight. Although usable for indoor applications, the Govee Outdoor Triad Floodlight features an IP66-rated metal body and IP67-rated control box, making it rugged enough to be used in almost any outdoor environment. I can attest to its weather resistance. I shot sample footage (below) during a fairly strong rainstorm. The floodlight enclosure has a minimalistic look and…
For the past two years, Aiper’s robotic pool cleaners have been helping us get the most out of our backyard oasis. While we still get weekly professional cleanings, an Aiper robot keeps the pool bottom and sides debris-free between cleanings. But what about surface debris? That’s where the recently introduced Aiper Surfer S1 Cordless Robotic Pool Skimmer comes in. It promises to be the missing piece of my “clean pool puzzle,” and it delivers.

Using disposable plastic tableware is an environmental faux pas; it’s made from non-renewable resources, takes forever to decompose, and often pollutes our oceans and harms wildlife. Plus, it contains harmful chemicals like BPA and PFAS that can leach into your food, posing health risks. And let’s not forget the economic costs of cleaning up plastic waste. Opting for eco-friendly alternatives, like the compostable plant-based options from Repurpose—a company founded by a mom with a vision for a greener future—helps the planet while keeping your summer parties carefree with easy cleanup.
