AnkerMake M5C 3D Printer Review: It’s Perfect for Beginners!

Some people shy away from the hobby of 3D printing, assuming it’s difficult to get into. However, that idea could not be further from the truth with the AnkerMake M5C 3D Printer. Being an extreme novice, the M5C was almost plug-and-play, and I was able to begin printing awesome objects in minutes.

Whynter ARC-1050XPH: A Smart Portable Air Conditioner, Dehumidifier, and Heater Combo for Year-Round Comfort

If you rent a space with unreliable (or nonexistent) central heat and air conditioning, you may have considered buying a portable air conditioner because, unlike window units, they are easier to take when your lease ends. Since many portable ACs don’t offer heating, you’d likely also have to invest in a separate space heater. Before going that route, you should check out the Whynter ARC-1050XPH; it’s an all-in-one solution designed to cool, dehumidify, and heat spaces up to 500 square feet. This unit packs a punch in a sleek, modern package that effortlessly blends into any room.

But the xSuit Air isn’t just for travel. This “travel suit” is also a great way to look clean and professional daily when the temperature rises.

Aiper Surfer S1 Cordless Robotic Pool Skimmer Review: So Efficient That You’ll Never Have to Manually Skim Your Pool Again!

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.

SUNLU FilaDryer S4 Review: Auto Humidity Control Will Dry Your 3D Printing Tears

My son has a name for when 3D prints fail. One time is a fluke; twice is unfortunate, but if they fail more than twice, they become what he calls “cursed prints.” One of the main reasons a print can fail is if the filament is too wet from ambient humidity. So, I was extremely excited to test out the SUNLU FilaDryer S4. Did drier filaments and uncursed prints await us?

Repurpose Offers an Eco-Friendly Option to Harmful Disposable Plastics for Your Summer Gatherings

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.

Butterfly Sleep Pillow Review: Fly into Better Sleep!

I don’t always sleep well. Every fitness tracker I’ve ever tested has given me poor marks for being flail-y while I sleep. All this was compounded by having to sleep on my back after surgery last year, which led me to realize I needed to up my pillow game. The Butterfly Sleep Pillow promises to be the pillow for any kind of sleeper, so of course, I had to give them a true torture test by using it for my rather disjointed sleep experience!

I’ve always had a soft spot for Kobo readers and ebooks.
