There is an entire population of people who need to track key health metrics like heart rate, blood pressure, respiration rate, blood oxygen, and more. Actually, tracking those usually involves multiple devices, regular charging, and taking readings. The Casana Smart Seat simplifies all that by taking readings every time you sit on the toilet.
I may have an unhealthy fascination with security cameras. I currently have 5 PoE cameras and 4 cellular trail cams on my property. Even though I work from home these days, I still like receiving notifications when the UPS or FedEx driver pulls up with my latest review sample or when a 5-point buck walks into our meadow. When offers for new security cameras come up for review, I’m always interested, so the latest cameras that I’ve set up and tested are the Wyze Duo Cam Pan and Wyze Cam Pan v4 indoor/outdoor cameras. Let’s take a closer look at…
Wow, this has been a hot summer, even by central Florida standards. Keeping the air conditioner cranking away is just tossing cash out the window. Sleeping in a hot bedroom is awful. What is a hot sleeper to do? Enter Elegear. Elegear Cooling Blankets and Cooling Pillowcases promise to deliver some solid chill to even the toastiest snoozers. How do they do it, and does it work? Read on!
If you want a blood pressure monitor without apps, Bluetooth pairing, accounts, or phone notifications, the CAVN Blood Pressure Monitor takes a refreshingly straightforward approach to health tech. This is a large, desktop-style upper-arm monitor that lets you place your arm inside the built-in cuff, press a button, and read the result on its oversized display.
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.
I live in a manufactured home and have always struggled to keep it cool and comfortable in the summer without constantly running the air conditioning. I’ve tried several tower fans, but none worked very well. Then I found the Dreame MF10 Bladeless Tower Fan. Instead of blowing air directly at you, it circulates air from side to side and top to bottom, helping reduce hot spots and create more balanced comfort throughout the room. The question is: can the Dreame MF10 perform better than the other fans I’ve tried?
The Aranet Radon Plus Digital Radon Detector is one of those gadgets you hope you never “need,” but once you have it, you won’t want to be without it. Radon is invisible, odorless, and potentially dangerous, so having a simple way to monitor it in real time brings real peace of mind. After dealing with elevated radon levels in my own home a few years ago, I’ve become a big believer in keeping tabs on it, and this little sensor makes that easier than ever.
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.
Health tracking has become part of everyday life for a lot of people. Step counts, sleep scores, heart rate data—most of us check them without thinking twice anymore. Calories, hydration, oxygen levels: these have all found a natural place in daily health routines.
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…
Overhead lighting usually has one job, and it often does that job with all the charm of a doctor’s office waiting room. The Nanoleaf Smart Multicolor Ceiling Light aims to give that ceiling fixture a more flexible role, combining bright everyday illumination with multicolor effects, an upward ambient glow, and smart home controls in a slim, flush-mount design. Available now for $79.99 in the U.S. and $99.99 in Canada, it’s designed for bedrooms, offices, kitchens, and living rooms where a single light may need to handle work, dinner, movie night, and the occasional dramatic playlist.
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!
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.
The Twelvetooo Smart Projection Bulb is aimed at anyone who likes the idea of mood lighting but doesn’t want to buy a dedicated projector, replace a favorite lamp, or commit to yet another oddly shaped gadget living on the nightstand. Now on Kickstarter, the bulb screws into a standard E26 or E27 socket and turns an ordinary floor lamp, table lamp, or ceiling fixture into a moving projection light with 16 million colors, smooth dimming, music sync, and aurora-style effects that can wash across your walls and ceiling rather than only glowing behind a shade at bedtime.
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.
Watching House of the Dragon in a dark room already asks a lot from your TV, your streaming bandwidth, and your tolerance for scenes lit mostly by vibes and torches. The Govee TV Backlight 3 series is now getting a Westeros-flavored upgrade through an official Govee and HBO Max collaboration tied to House of the Dragon Season 3. Instead of keeping all that fire, candlelight, and political brooding trapped inside the screen, the themed lighting scenes are designed to spill matching colors onto the wall behind your TV, giving the room a little more Dragonstone without requiring a castle.
The Ninja AutoBarista Pro Fully Automatic Espresso Machine is a premium addition to your kitchen, bringing the coffee shop experience directly to your countertop. This stainless steel machine feels intentionally designed for coffee enthusiasts who want top-of-the-line espresso without the morning hassle. I have spent the last few years really enjoying coffee drinks, and this machine has revolutionized the way I make them at home. Let’s dive in!
Most speakers are designed to disappear into the background. Even the expensive ones usually aim for some version of “handsome rectangle that sounds good.” The MorningBlues SonicGlass A1 Transparent Speaker takes a very different approach. It wants to be noticed. More specifically, it wants to turn music into something visual, interactive, and personal, not just something playing from a box on a shelf.
Picture this: a severe summer storm rolls into town, the lightning flashes, and the grid goes down. Your mind immediately races through the checklist of modern tragedies: No Wi-Fi. No AC. And, worst of all, a refrigerator packed with premium brisket, craft beer, and dairy products slowly warming up to room temperature. Instead of scrambling for ice bags, you could just sit back, relax, and let a microwave-sized box save your summer. Enter the Anker SOLIX S2000 Portable Power Station, a clever, “fridge-first” battery backup designed explicitly to keep your kitchen running when the utility company throws in the towel.
“I can’t today, I have to wait for the cable man” is one of those phrases that creates immediate sympathetic dread. It’s as much a pop culture trope as it is a real inconvenience. But Xfinity, in its quest to prove the cable company isn’t actually out to get you, is rolling out a way to deliver faster internet on your schedule. Their new same-day Gateway delivery service means you can sign up for internet in the morning and have yourself up and running and down a TikTok rabbit hole before dinner.
The CHERRY XTRFY K33 has a feature that instantly stands out in a crowded mechanical keyboard market. It is a compact 75% gaming keyboard with an IP54 rating for dust and splash resistance. That alone makes it a little unusual. Add tri-mode wireless connectivity, RGB lighting, Mac and Windows support, and CHERRY’s so-called memchanical switches, and this keyboard starts to feel like a product with its own personality. I spent some time looking over the design, checking out the key layout, testing the lighting, and getting a sense of how the hybrid switches feel in everyday use.
