Bar none, there is no company that’s easier to make fun of than Texas-based Yeti. My house is full of hilariously overengineered, overpriced products. The problem starts when these products…

If you want slightly more power, there is also the Fire HD 8 Plus ($150), which offers an extra gigabyte of RAM, wireless charging, and a 5-megapixel camera (to the…

A dedicated video editing keyboard might seem like overkill for most casual users, but don’t write it off until you’ve tried Blackmagic’s DaVinci Resolve Speed Editor. This little gadget packs…

If you need a mesh system capable of serving fast Wi-Fi to a large property, Netgear’s Orbi range should be on your list. But the 860 Series is a tri-band…

You know when parents cry about leaving their kids at school? I’m the same way with my dogs. I would often use my SimpliSafe security camera as a pet camera…

Nearly two years ago, I reviewed the $200 Nokia 5.3, which was promised two years of Android OS upgrades and three years of security updates. How has HMD Global, the…

I don’t feel cool riding an electric scooter. I love these things, but standing bolt upright like a meerkat as you cruise across town just doesn’t look great. Evolv’s Terra…

Once it is folded up, it’s not comfortable to carry; the wheels don’t stay closed together (unlike the Montague M-E1) and the grab handle is tiny, so my knuckles bang…

When GoPro announced the new Hero 11 Black earlier this year, it also announced a brand new camera as well: the GoPro Hero 11 Mini. Its release was slightly delayed…

Some sounds never die. Whether it’s classic rock guitarists coveting decades-old guitars and amps or Mac DeMarco messing with ’80s Casio keyboards, there’s something about vintage sounds that goes beyond…

A new 1800-mAh battery will get you decent shoot times. I managed over 1.5 hours shooting 4K. Insta360 claims 81 minutes shooting 5.7K video at 30p, which feels about right,…

A smartwatch is an accessory you don’t really need, but it can be convenient. Without having to pull out your smartphone, you can see and respond to notifications, change music…

Amazon’s many different Kindles are pretty identical in how they perform, with minor differences separating the base Kindle from the Paperwhite and the Oasis. That’s mostly by design, and I…

Vintage guitars are expensive because most people who play guitar grew up hearing them, seeing them on TV, and dreaming of owning a real one someday. This fact has bolstered…

Heating your home can be expensive. With gas prices soaring, systems like Tado’s Smart Thermostat V3+, which offer finer control and insight into your heating, look increasingly attractive. Throw in…

Importantly, it’s a solid feeder, holding 50 ounces of seeds, with a nice perch big enough for a few birds (if they don’t mind the crowding) and a roof to…

The Nest Wifi Pro is the latest mesh router from Google. In line with the company’s penchant for simplicity, this mesh system is a breeze to set up and easy…

It’s not a good sign when you’ve thought about throwing your smartphone out the window. Not because of—well, *gestures at everything*— but because it’s just so frustrating to use. I…

I’ll be honest: I don’t like using apps for scooters. Just give me all the controls on the thing itself. Sure, it’s nice to be able to control the level…

I’ll admit it: I have residual trepidation from the last time I reviewed a Shark smart vacuum. The company’s other home appliances may be reasonable dupes for pricier options, but…

Like most New York City apartments, mine has outdated parquet floors. It’s easy to spot scuff marks and stains, but dust feels almost impossible. Before a Dyson vacuum entered my…

The EufyCam 3 is by far the most accomplished camera system from Eufy yet, with a combination of features that will catapult it to the top of many wish lists.…

The FX+ 2 has a 250-watt Hydrive rear hub motor, which is the European standard. That might seem slightly underpowered to Americans looking to power up huge hills, but the…

The excellent Dell XPS 13 range has had the same look for several years now. A shakeup was most definitely in order. To align with Intel’s new 12th generation P…

The Artiphon Orba 2, which is about the size of an orange sliced in half, looks more like an Echo Dot than a musical instrument. It’s meant to be held in the…
