Smart doorbells that work with Apple HomeKit straight out of the box are pretty thin on the ground and almost all of them have drawbacks. The recently released Aqara video doorbell G4 offers a stylish alternative that takes a different approach and offers a few unique features – but there are of course caveats. Pros […]
The Shark PowerDetect 2-in-1 Robot Vacuum and Mop knows what kind of floor it’s on and how dirty it is, and adjusts its behavior in response, for an ultra-efficient clean. Mopping left my hardwood floors wetter than I’d like (there’s no way to manually adjust settings), but on the plus side, I’ve never seen a

The Molekule Air Pro does exactly what you’d want an air purifier to do – it detects and tracks changes in the air quality in your home, leaping into action as needed when set to Auto mode. It lacks Bluetooth connectivity, and the app should really have more features considering the sky-high cost, but it’s

The Philips 7000 Series Video Doorbell is easy to install and use, whether you go the wired or wireless route. The video quality is sharp and the onboard storage is helpful for looking at past events without a subscription. However, it’s on the pricey side, has about a 10-second delay, and sometimes audio cuts in

The Govee Floor Lamp 2 is the capable younger sibling of the Floor Lamp Pro. It’s not as tall or bright but still sheds plenty of light. It’s got a nifty design and will look great in any home in your office or bedroom. Some assembly is required, and setting up Matter isn’t seamless, but

The Narwal Freo X Plus is an inexpensive way to get vacuuming and mopping in a robot vac, but it’s a bit flawed. While the vacuuming is good on hard and carpeted surfaces and its petite base station makes it easy to install just about everywhere, its mopping capability is just okay and it doesn’t

Doro’s Hemma is a great entry-level video doorbell. Although we found the battery needed recharging weekly, which is more frequent than we’d like, it has an accessible price, well considered safety and security features, and a nicely designed app that puts the most important features within easy reach. Pros + Great features such as siren

EZVIZ’s EP3x Pro Doorbell is one of the best smart doorbells currently available. That’s due to the 32GB internal storage, which can store up to six months of video clips. That’s impressive compared to other doorbells from companies like Ring, which require a subscription for long-term storage. The EP3x Pro’s solar charger is a great
With the Lockly visage Zeno Series, Lockly has done a great job of refining the design and integrating previously disparate parts into a more elegant whole. I love that I no longer need a hub or an endless supply of AA batteries, and the Apple HomeKit integration is the best thing to happen to my
The Eureka J20 is a technologically-advanced robot vacuum that delivers strong suction and very effective mopping, thanks to an innovative roller mop design.
