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.

Pool season is fast approaching, and if you’re in charge of keeping yours clean, the Beatbot Aquasense Pro will help you keep it in tip-top shape with minimal effort. Keeping our pool clean and ready to swim in is my husband Kev’s domain; when I was offered an Aquasense Pro to try, Kev was intrigued.

JBL PartyBox On-The-Go Review: Big 100W Portable Speaker That’s Ready to Party

I love a large portable speaker, and my latest in for testing is the JBL PartyBox On-The-Go. This massive and multi-talented speaker pumps out 100W of bass-boosted sound that can easily fill a large room or the typical backyard. If you like to sing along, the PartyBox On-The-Go includes a wireless mic with adjustable gain, echo treble, and bass. If you or a friend plays guitar, they can plug-in and either strum along to the music or use the PartyBox as an amp to play their own compositions.
