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.


Herman Miller Gaming’s Coyl Gaming Desk Dials In a Cleaner, Smarter Gaming Setup

Herman Miller Gaming is moving beyond chairs with the Coyl Gaming Desk, its first desk built specifically for gaming setups, streaming corners, and workstations that now have to do a little bit of everything. Starting at $1475, Coyl is a 60″ sit-to-stand desk with a rotary height dial, built-in cable management, integrated hooks, and optional modular accessories meant to keep gear organized without turning your room into a nest of wires and controller clutter. It’s also clearly aimed at people who care as much about how a setup looks as how it performs.


Govee TV Backlight 3 Wants to Make Your TV Wall Work a Little Harder

Govee is back with another attempt to make the wall behind your TV do more than sit there, and the new Govee TV Backlight 3 arrives with a more serious camera system, denser lighting, and broader smart home support than before. Launched today in the US and Europe, the kit is designed for people who like the idea of ambient lighting that follows what’s on-screen, but don’t want to run HDMI boxes, swap cables, or turn movie night into a small wiring project. Pricing starts at $109.99 for 55″ to 65″ TVs and $139.99 for 75″ to 85″ TVs.


Lepro STV1 AI-Powered Smart TV Backlight Brings Screen-Synced Color to the Living Room

The Lepro STV1 AI-Powered Smart TV Backlight is built for anyone who likes the idea of the room reacting to what’s on-screen, but doesn’t want a nest of wires behind the TV or a setup process that feels like punishment. Launching May 15, 2026, the camera-based backlight extends colors from movies, games, sports, and music into the space around your television. It’s available in an 11.8′ version for 55″ to 65″ TVs for $89.99, and a 16.4′ version for 75″ to 85″ TVs for $109.99.


HP Sprocket Photobooth Review: A Party-Ready Photo Booth That Prints, Shares, and Actually Makes Sense

The HP Sprocket Photobooth knows exactly what it is. It isn’t pretending to be a full-scale professional event booth, and it’s not just a pocket printer playing dress-up. It’s a compact, self-contained photo station for gatherings where people still love a printed keepsake but also want the option to scan a code and have a digital copy on their phones before the next song starts. Think weddings, reunions, birthday parties, baby showers, school events, and all the other occasions where a small take-home memento still feels thoughtful.


Kwikset Halo Select Plus Review: A Smart Lock That Makes Remote Home Access Feel Effortless

Smart locks make sense anywhere, but they become especially useful when you are managing a home you are not in every day. That is why we gave the Kwikset Halo Select Plus a try on a holiday home in Puerto Vallarta, where secure keyless entry, remote monitoring, and simple access control were not just nice-to-have features; they were genuinely needed. Guests, cleaners, friends, and maintenance teams may all need access while you are away, and spare keys or lockboxes are never the most elegant, secure, or easy-to-manage solution.


LiberNovo Maxis Leads a Broader Ergonomic Chair Lineup for Bigger Bodies, Cooler Seats, and Lower Budgets

LiberNovo Maxis is the newest signal that ergonomic chair makers are finally paying more attention to people who don’t fit the one-size-fits-most office chair mold. Launching alongside the new Omni Pro and Omni SE, the Maxis Series is built for bigger and taller bodies, supporting people from 5’10” to 6’6″ and up to 399 pounds. Deposit pre-sales begin today in the US, Canada, and the EU, with the full launch set for June 16, 2026. The idea is simple enough: better support shouldn’t require pretending every body is built the same.


Govee Floor Lamp 3 and Lantern Floor Lamp Bring More Color Control to Smart Lighting

Govee is adding two new smart lighting options for the living room: the Govee Floor Lamp 3 and the Govee Lantern Floor Lamp, both aimed at people who want more than a basic corner lamp but don’t necessarily want their home to look like a gaming cave. The Floor Lamp 3 is the more technical flagship, with broader white-light tuning and improved color accuracy, while the Lantern Floor Lamp leans into a softer ambiance with a ring-shaped glow. Both arrive with smart home support, app-driven customization, and prices that stay under $200.


LawnMaster 48V Max 3-in-1 Brushless 19” Cordless Lawn Mower Review: Quiet, Lightweight, and Ready to Cut the Cord

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.


Nomad Starlink Cable Solves the One Starlink Mini Problem No Camper Wants to Deal With

Nomad’s $69 Nomad Starlink Cable is aimed at a very specific problem: keeping a Starlink Mini powered while in a vehicle without treating the cable as a disposable accessory. The 50′ cable plugs into a 12V or 24V vehicle socket on one end and Starlink Mini on the other, giving campers, RV travelers, boaters, and remote workers enough reach to chase a better view of the sky. It’s wrapped in a Kevlar 29 aramid fiber and nylon outer weave, with an aluminum adapter and silicone gasket built for dust, weather, and road-trip abuse. The idea is simple.


KitchenAid Fully Automatic Espresso Machines with Iced Coffee Want to Make Your Coffee Shop Habit Look Excessive

KitchenAid is adding a chillier option to its countertop coffee lineup with the KitchenAid Fully Automatic Espresso Machines with Iced Coffee, a new three-model series designed for people who want espresso drinks at home without taking up half the kitchen. The machines can brew traditional hot espresso drinks, but the real update is their dedicated over-ice coffee and espresso settings, which brew at a lower temperature so the finished drink is better suited for pouring over ice. They’ll be available on the KitchenAid site beginning today, with pricing starting at $799.99.


Crafty Moms, Rejoice! Cricut’s Mother’s Day Sale is Here

If your mom is the type of person who sees a plain coffee mug and thinks, “That needs a custom vinyl monogram,” or if she’s been eyeing a way to turn her Pinterest boards into reality, listen up. Cricut just kicked off its Mother’s Day sales event. We’re talking discounts on the heavy hitters, including the very first price drop on the brand-new Explore 5 since its launch. Whether she’s a seasoned pro or a beginner, Cricut’s updated Design Space (now featuring an AI Project Designer and Guided Flows) makes the learning curve feel more like a gentle slope.


The $249.99 Govee Ceiling Light Ultra Turns Your Ceiling Into a Smart Canvas, and It’s Weirdly Tempting

The Govee Ceiling Light Ultra is a new smart ceiling light that treats the space above your head less like dead real estate and more like a programmable canvas. Available now for $249.99, it combines 616 individually controlled LEDs, bright everyday white lighting, animated effects, music-reactive scenes, and smart home support in one fixture. That makes it part practical room light, part mood setter, and part digital art experiment, depending on how much patience you have for customizing your ceiling before deciding the default warm white setting was fine all along.


XGIMI Launches TITAN Noir Series 4K Projectors with Kickstarter Pricing

XGIMI is taking another swing at the high-end home theater crowd with the TITAN Noir Series, a new family of 4K projectors that first appeared at CES 2026 and is now launching globally through Kickstarter. The lineup includes the TITAN Noir Max, TITAN Noir Pro, and TITAN Noir, with early pricing starting at $2,499. The headline feature is a Dual Intelligent Iris System, a new light-control setup meant to deepen black levels, preserve shadow detail, and help very large projected images look less washed out in rooms that aren’t perfect blackout caves or ordinary living rooms.


The Govee Outdoor Solar String Lights Bring Smarter Color to a Usually Basic Backyard Staple

Govee is stepping into a part of the outdoor lighting market that usually settles for modest expectations. Its new Govee Outdoor Solar String Lights, the brand’s first solar-powered lighting product, aim to give patios, fences, pergolas, and backyard seating areas something more flexible than the usual warm-white glow and on-off simplicity. The pitch is straightforward enough: solar convenience, color when you want it, white light when you don’t, and app-based controls that keep the whole thing from feeling like a glorified garden-center impulse buy. For anyone who wants lighting without running extension cords across the yard, that idea has appeal.




The Prego Connection Keeper Turns Family Dinner Conversations into Keepsakes — No Phone Needed

The new Prego Connection Keeper sounds like the kind of branded idea that could go wrong in a hurry. A pasta sauce company teaming up with StoryCorps to sell a recording device for family dinners has all the ingredients for something overly precious, but the actual concept is more grounded than it first appears. The limited-edition Prego x StoryCorps Connection Keeper is a simple, offline recorder designed to capture the kinds of dinner-table conversations that usually disappear the second the plates are cleared.


Govee Lightwall Launches with 1,536 LEDs, Portable Design, and a Bigger Smart Lighting Canvas Than Curtain Lights Pro

Govee Lightwall is the company’s latest attempt to turn decorative lighting into something bigger, more flexible, and a little more theatrical. Priced at $449.99, it is a portable RGBIC light display with 1,536 LEDs, a detachable frame, weather resistance for outdoor use, and enough customization tools to appeal to both people who want instant party lighting and those who plan to spend an evening designing their own animated scenes.


CUKTECH 30 Ultra Desktop Charging Station Brings 300W Charging to Desks That Are Tired of Cable Sprawl

The CUKTECH 30 Ultra Desktop Charging Station is built for a very specific kind of desk problem. If your setup includes a power-hungry laptop, a phone, a tablet, maybe a handheld gaming device, and a growing collection of chargers that seem to multiply overnight, this new 5-port charger is trying to be the one box that replaces the pile. It launches with up to 300W of total output, dual 140W USB-C ports, a dedicated DC power port, and a small on-device display that shows exactly what’s happening in real time.


The Cabevibe CabLady S2 Is a Petite-Friendly Women’s Ergonomic Office Chair That Understands the Assignment

There are few things more annoying than a chair that calls itself ergonomic while actively plotting against your neck, lower back, and patience. Plenty of office chairs are technically adjustable, but that doesn’t mean they are actually comfortable, especially for women who are tired of perching in seats that feel too deep, too tall, too hard, or just weirdly built for somebody else’s body. That is what makes the Cabevibe CabLady S2 ergonomic chair for women’s home office interesting.
