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.

So I was beyond excited to test out the Kobo Clara Colour, and it has blown me away!

DrinkingWater Is an Affordable Atmospheric Water Dispenser That Creates up to 5 Gallons of Water from Air

If you live in an area with an unstable or unsafe water supply, where clean water is not guaranteed for drinking and cooking, you might think that bottled water is your only option. However, another method has been proven to work: Atmospheric water generation (AWG), which creates potable water from the air. The systems that can do this are generally expensive, but DrinkingWater, which is now seeking backing on Indiegogo, is offering a solution that can put this technology to work in your home for as little as $329.

Leather Honey Leather Cleaner Review: Effective and Gentle Cleaner That Adds UV Protection

Per Leather Honey’s website, “Leather Honey was invented in the early 1960s when a retired chemist met with businessman Daniel McGowen, who had recently taken over his father-in-law’s Philadelphia-based manufacturing company.” The two created the original formula for the cleaner and the conditioner and found it very effective at preserving leather. An early test on the soles of postal carriers’ shoes showed that those treated with Leather lasted twice as long as those that were unprotected. Leather Honey makes cleaners and conditioners for leather products, including the Leather Honey Leather Cleaner we received for review.
