A reliable dash cam is a must, and the Nextbase iQ 2K smart dash cam has the features and design to give you peace of mind whether you're in your car or not. With a quality camera that utilizes an optional subscription and easy app experience, the iQ 2K camera is a dash cam option for active drivers.
Installed out of sight behind your front rear view mirror, drivers won't need to see the iQ 2K while it does its job, save for the occasional light indicator ring or event notifications. It is very compact and minimally designed to connect to your windshield via a strong adhesive, and its wiring can be tucked away along the edges of your window headlining, door frame, and underneath your instrument panel using the included fitting tool. It includes only one adhesive wire clip and only a few cord zip ties, so you may need to bring in your own or some electrical tape to fully secure your wires out of sight and out of the way. That being said, installing this dash cam was so simple and took less than five minutes to get it up and running.
Unlike some other dash cams that use up your car's auxiliary power outlet, the Nextbase iQ 2K plugs straight into your car's OBD port. While this may be conveniently out of sight in most cars, some cars' ports are not well-suited for the plug if it hides behind a panel or sticks out more than they would like. I tested the iQ 2K on two cars (SUVs) and it would only fit in one of them properly; in the other car, I would have needed to keep the OBD panel off for it to fit, thereby exposing other internal wires which may have had potentially dangerous results. Nextbase does provide a secondary option to hardwire the dash cam to your car, but if you're like me, you may prefer not to or may not be comfortable around a car enough to install it this way. It would have been nice to include an auxiliary power cable option to alleviate this issue.
Operationally, the Nextbase iQ 2K works wonderfully. After installing the app, you can see live events in crystal clear view, with very good night visibility as well for both the front-facing and cabin-facing cameras. The microphone catches all the sounds and noises, which will be useful during any impact events. The iQ 2K has several features built-in to give you peace of mind while you drive and while you're away from your car. It comes equipped with a built-in 64GB micro-SD card. With Roadwatch AI, the recorded screen video shows the speed and approximate distance cars are around you. Phone notifications alert you when there are parking or impact events around your car even when parked, and you can access the camera outside of the car on your phone at any time. And with the optional Nextbase subscription, this includes all recorded data and history events. It even utilizes a "Witness Mode" option, which will share live footage with an emergency contact who can access your camera and assist if needed. All of these features add up to make a reliable dash cam you can be confident has its eyes on the road with and without you.
The Nextbase iQ 2K smart dash cam is a great option for all drivers. It does the job you want from a dash cam to give you peace of mind in and out of your car.

Dyson has engineered its next cordless handheld vacuum to tackle every area of your home with the V15s Detect Submarine. With multiple cleaner heads for every type of surface and an impressive continuous runtime, the newest Dyson aims to be the last vac you need to own for your home.
Dyson stans know the top quality machines the company has been churning out for years, and this latest iteration of the cordless handheld lives up to that standard. Out of box, the V15s has everything you need to tackle any size cleaning job - charging cable, optional wall mounting kit, and multi-surface cleaning heads for floors, walls, and even ceilings. The unit is operatable with one hand, though it does feel a little weightier than previous builds and with some more resistance during use due to the heavy rotating cleaning heads. Dysons are known for user-friendly operation, and the V15s is no exception. Like its earlier counterparts, this cordless stickvac turns on with a continuous squeeze of the red trigger button and turns off with your release. Runtime is long, especially using the "Eco" setting, though I tend to use it only on "Auto" as the machine changes its strength based on the surface and dirt it detects. It really is a great little vacuum.
The Submarine cleaning head is basically a hard floor mop with a fillable water tube and high velocity brush that removes both wet and dry debris. It works okay; the water is released very slowly, so to get a good cleaning, the mopping needs to be done slowly as well. The cleaning head itself is a lot bulkier than the other heads, so getting under some low cabinetry might be difficult for some. Turning angles are also a little tougher with this mop head, but it still does the job.
The Digital Motorbar cleaning head is your do-all attachment which will likely stay on the most. I really like that Dyson technology allows it to adapt its suction power to the floor type. You can really feel the difference as you go from wood floors, to rugs, to high pile carpeting, and the internal sensor even optimizes the power usage based on how hard the vacuum is working in different areas. The LCD screen shows you all the details, and you can manually override how hard you want the vacuum to work, from "Auto" to "Eco" or "Boost."
One other notable cleaning head is the Fluffy Optic head, which sends out a neon green light in front of your cleaning area to detect invisible dust and other hard-to-see debris on hard floors. I was amazed at how effective this cleaning head was on my hardwood as it found dirt otherwise unseen by the naked eye.
Nothing really beats a Dyson, and the V15s Detect Submarine ups its game by adding wet cleaning to its repertoire while also improving its already high dry floor cleaning standard. With so many cleaning head options and a high runtime, the V15s has the ability to clean every inch of your home. First-time Dyson buyers or repeat owners alike will be satisfied with the V15s Detect Submarine vac.

GE's Cafè Grind & Brew is a high quality coffee maker and bean grinder. With multiple options for customizing your brews, the Cafè tailors your mornings to your specific coffee needs.
The Grind & Brew is striking, with a large water reservoir standing tall next to the brew assembly and carafe. A bright digital display shows everything you need to customize a cup or a full pot of coffee, with buttons for temperature, brew size, cup size, and strength. The carafe is large with a smooth, clean finish and holds the heat very well. Brewing times vary based on the serving size you choose, but it doesn't take long for even the largest pot. While the type of beans you use surely matter, and people's coffee preferences and tastes differ, coffee brewed from the Cafè tastes very smooth and not very bitter. The coffee maker comes with reusable filters or you can use your own disposable paper ones.
The grinder itself is loud, but the ability to grind precise amounts of beans to brew different serving sizes is a godsend. No more wasted beans from brewing too large a pot of coffee. No environmental waste from disposable single-serving pods. And I like that you don't necessarily need to use whole beans for every coffee creation - you can bring pre-ground beans and bypass the grinding if needed. The included manual gives detailed instruction on how to clean all the moving and removable parts. The Cafè Grind & Brew is both a convenient and an efficient option for your morning Joe.
Not to be overshadowed is the Cafè's Wi-Fi capabilities. Simple to setup and use, the Smart HQ app allows you to create a brew to your liking, even setting up bloom time for the beans, all from your mobile device. The app tells you when there is any issues on the machine, like the need to empty the grind basket or if the carafe is not sitting properly. You can also create and save favorite brew setups to use instantly as well as set up a schedule ahead of time.
Overall, the Grind & Brew is an ultra-convenient coffee maker that lets you make the precise amount of coffee any time you want. It looks great in any kitchen and with so many brewing options, it fits any lifestyle. Highly recommended.

The Velox Mini is our most compact wireless air vent mount yet! Designed exclusively for MagSafe compatible iPhones and cases, the Velox Mini delivers up to 7.5W of power. Just tap your phone against the mount face and powerful magnets will hold it in place in perfect alignment. Easily install the Velox Mini by sliding the prongs onto your vehicle’s air vent blade, where silicone grips prevent it from slipping. A versatile ball joint allows you to adjust the cradle for an ideal and safe viewing position while you drive. A series of ventilation holes constructed around the mount help to dissipate heat and maintain airflow. Now it’s easier than ever to keep your phone powered up on the go.

With MagSafe compatibility and 7.5W wireless fast charging, the Velox Magnetic Wireless Charger will fill up your iPhone battery fast and securely while on the go. A compact design with a simple, reliable vent mount connection, this is a charger you can trust to handle even the bumpiest of rides.
I love the minimal dashboard real estate which the Velox charger uses. The magnetic surface is small, and perfectly aligned with a MagSafe ring or the back of an iPhone. This design allows for both portrait and landscape connection. And unlike some other vent mounts that stick far out, the Velox charger sits almost flush with your car's vent. The rubber grips are tight and can conform to almost any shape of static or movable air vent. Also a plus is the ease with which you can mount the charger - no tricky twisting and vent-catching, no two-handed contorting to get it to stabilize, etc. Just push in and you're done, plain and simple.
The charge speed is acceptable. I get a decent amount of juice event while using maps applications or fiddling with a music or podcast app. The constant tap-tap-tapping doesn't jostle the phone from its holder either, as it has a very good stick to it.
The wire to the car socket is very long; it can definitely reach an armrest power port, with plenty of wire to tuck away, but I use it with the port directly below the dashboard and have to roll up a lot of excess wire. It's not a big deal to me but opinions may vary on that. The wire is affixed to the magnetic mount, but the other side can be removed from the supplied auxiliary power outlet and connected directly to a USB-C port if one is available.
Overall, the mount is a great accessory for your on-the-go iPhone. The Velox charger is a compact, fast mount that is easy to install and can handle almost any vent with ease. It stays out of the way but is within reach at the same time, exactly what you want from a phone mount.

The HP Envy Move All-in-One is built to go with you anywhere in and around your home. It has everything you need for work and play, and while there are a few small tactile issues, the Envy Move is a great movable PC which showcases that HP has its eye set on both productivity and sustainability.
Most obvious to catch your eye on this PC is its minimalist design. As a freestanding 23.8" QHD monitor, it almost feels like a thin suitcase. A flip-up carrying handle magnetizes to the back of the unit to remain out of sight when not in use, and while I worry over its longevity based on its material, it still feels sturdy enough for short periods of transport. When the unit is picked up, its kickstand automatically tucks away, and conversely as you place it down, a simple mechanism allows the legs to pop out. While not as sturdy as a weighted base or stand, the legs keep the screen propped up perfectly on a hard surface. Be sure not to place it down on the carpet or a bed, as the leg mechanics will not work properly on soft surfaces.
The back of the monitor holds its wireless keyboard in a fabric pocket, which I can see loosening over time if the keyboard were left inside. It seems to do the job well for temporary tuck-aways, though. The keyboard itself has a built-in touchpad, though I found using my own wireless mouse plugged into the USB port to be more comfortable. The touchpad is fine enough for tracking the cursor and tapping or double-tapping for onscreen selection, but pressing down on it for simulating right and left clicks didn't feel as responsive. The buttons on the keyboard also feel a little underwhelming, as in several instances during fast typing, the keyboard missed the keystroke. I found myself to be constantly mindful while typing in web addresses or long sentences, otherwise I would need to backtrack for errors.
Despite these keyboard issues, the all-in-one unit itself is the true star. The sound booms from the speakers, with adaptive audio that adjusts volume depending on your distance from it. A fully responsive, clear and bright touchscreen monitor is gorgeous anywhere you place it, and that portability is what makes this movable PC stand out. It looks great on a desk in your home office, and if you want to move it to a common area to continue working or to stream entertainment from your kitchen, you can do so easily. Transporting the Envy Move from one area to another becomes almost second nature, with Energy Star certification and a battery life off the power cord that rivals most mobile tablets. And not to be overlooked, the unit itself is built from recycled plastic, metal, and fabrics. For those that appreciate these qualities, this computer will represent them well.
Despite some issues I had with the keyboard, the HP Envy Move has pros that far outweigh that con. As a well-designed, movable desktop, this device has a place in any home, and in any room for that matter. The Envy Move will help you be productive anywhere you see fit.

Whether you're athletic, health-conscious, or just prone to everyday aches and pains, the Theragun PRO Plus is your answer for advanced preparation and recovery. With multiple gun attachments, a clear on-screen display, and an intuitive, easy-to-follow app, the PRO Plus covers everything to keep you in the best condition before and after a workout or activity.
In my family, the kids play soccer, basketball, and run track, keeping them fit and active year-round. My wife has daily F-45 classes and the occasional 5-10K events, while I am an avid pickleball and tennis player. The Theragun PRO Plus is the perfect device for each one of us. It has a routine for almost any activity and body part, and when connected with the app, getting warmed up or cooled down is completely hassle-free.
The device packaging is sturdy, and as you open it, it has step-by-step instructions for uncovering this fitness gem from the box. Inside you will find the Theragun PRO Plus along with a small manual, several attachment heads, charging cable, and a large Neoprene case that comes with content listing under the flap. The dual zippers separating the gun layer and the attachment layer is a nice touch.
This device is pretty hefty, but routines do not last longer than ten minutes or so, and most have periods of alternating attachment heads or shifting hands to keep you from feeling the weight too badly. Following a routine on the app is by far the recommended way to go, as most routines have full video tutorials on how to hold and position the gun, along with real-time optimization for applying the proper pressure on your body areas. With the app, you can also save personalized therapies and activity-specific routines, and with your permission, data from connected activity trackers and apps can be used to optimize your prep and recovery as well.
If the app isn't readily available to you, the small LCD screen is just as easy to follow, with uploaded routines such as sleep prep and back pain as well as a customizable quick start option to get you up and running again in no time.
With seven attachments that provide unique routines, I found the dampener and heat attachment heads to be the most useful. Attaching and detaching is very quick, with a sharp twist in the corresponding direction on the front of the gun. This device is also equipped with infrared LED lights for another layer of therapy that is applied simultaneously with vibration, heat, and percussive therapies. Oddly, a cold therapy attachment is sold separately. The Theragun PRO Plus is not waterproof, and its rechargeable battery runs for around two hours before needing a fill-up.
Applications of this device present huge benefits, from a daily massage for reduced tension and stimulating circulation, to post-workouts and high-level activities for reducing pain and improving recovery. The Theragun PRO Plus is easy to use and provides instant relief and results. Don't settle for less when it comes to your health and well-being.

Smart eyewear isn't something you think you want or need, but the Lucyd Lyte E-glasses will make you rethink that position. It takes the mundane concept of sunglasses and gives it a boost with crisp, clear phone calls, voice assistance, and music access at the tap of a button. Lucyd truly upgrades your eyewear.
Aesthetically, these frames are pretty stunning, with polarized UV400 lenses and black arms that hug the face snuggly. The temples do feel a little thick but I got used to them after heavy usage. The nose pads and pad arms sit firmly on your nose and hold the rims slightly over your cheeks to provide good sunlight coverage. The "smart parts" sit on the temples but are mostly unnoticeable save for the two small buttons on the bottom that do most of the touch controls. Overall, the glasses feel like they're supposed to feel and to onlookers, they look like normal, run-of-the-mill sunglasses.
The e-glasses come with a USB charger that has magnetizing ends that connect to both arms. I personally didn't like this method as they need to be open or slightly open to charge - you can't clasp the arms closed and store it away while charging, so they need to sit out and can potentially get damaged during power fill-ups. Luckily, charging is very fast, usually under two hours from a full discharged state, and the red light indicators turn off when they're ready to go. After the initial pairing of your mobile device, the e-glasses automatically connect to it when you disconnect from the charger. From there, the sunglasses have a decent, six to eight hours of use before a charge is needed.
The sound from voice calls is surprisingly clear, especially on the receiving end. A lot of what you yourself can hear will depend on your current environment, but the person on the other end benefits wholly from the noise-cancelling microphone. Music and podcasts (and for me, voice direction while driving) is fairly good, though the volume level needs to be at the highest level to be really utilized. You may find yourself cupping a hand over your ear to trap the sound vibrations and make it easier to hear at times.
The e-glasses have a variety of touch controls that use specific long-presses of the buttons to trigger. It quickly became second-nature to hold a button to get some quick information sent directly to your face, which is extremely helpful on any commute.
Lastly, the sunglasses comes with a nice fold-flat case, cleaning cloth, and soft storage slip case. The folding case is a nice touch and gives it some solid protection. It has some issues, like the fit and the charging cable, but overall, I really like these e-glasses, something I would never have thought I needed or wanted. The Lucyd Lyte E-glasses are perfect for anyone on-the-go or for relaxing by the pool or beach. Highly recommended.

Bigger isn't always better, and Corsair's K65 Pro Mini showcases the benefits of an efficient gaming keyboard. Smooth, fast keystrokes combined with maximum space saving design create a unique experience for gamers of all types.
Right out of the box, this keyboard is compact but eye-catching. Packaged simply with a USB Type-C to Type-A cable, the K65 Pro Mini is a minimalist's dream. Everything you need from a keyboard is there in its clever layout. Advertised as 65% the size of a regular sized desktop keyboard, the K65 Pro Mini does not lack in aesthetic appeal. The keys have a great bounce-back to them, with a mechanical typewriter feel that is ultra-satisfying. The multicolored glow that resonates from the keys is bright and has a kinetic energy to it as a wave of colors moves across them. The keyboard is packaged with an interchangeable spacebar that looks beautiful through the RGB lighting. If anything, the keys can be a tad too responsive as in some instances, I find myself double tapping by accident. But overall, the keyboard is a joy to use.
Compatible with PC, Mac, XBOX, and Playstation, the K65 Pro Mini delivers a compact alternative for all types of gamers looking to save desk space. Corsair's offering may leave a small footprint, but its comfortable feel and overall satisfying performance has the K65 Pro Mini casting a big shadow. Highly recommended.

LG wants you to bring the party with its XBOOM XL7 Bluetooth speaker. With a reverberating sound, eye-catching lighting features, and easy portability, the XBOOM XL7 can be your do-it-all entertainment hub.
Standing over two-feet tall and weighing in at almost 35 lbs., the XBOOM XL7 truly is extra large and catches your eye right off the bat. Big buttons and a smooth, curved surface create a simple, approachable design that doesn't need a lot of instruction to get going. I especially like the big, sturdy wheels and collapsible, locking handle which lend to its easy mobility even despite its large size. While Bluetooth is the most likely connection option for most people, the XBOOM XL7 has a covered panel on the back of the speaker which hides some Line-Ins for a microphone and a guitar, as well as a USB input for direct music play from a USB storage device. You can even highlight the music track if Karaoke is your thing using the dials on the back.
Showcasing 250 watts pumping out of an 8" full range woofer, you will feel the music that basically overtakes everything nearby. Even at a low volume, the bass will vibrate into its surroundings. The bright lights really pop, and they will become a party favorite with all the different pattern options from which you can choose at the push of a button. Playing music from a laptop, tablet, or mobile device through Bluetooth is as easy as ever, with no discernable connectivity issues on my end. I'd say the XBOOM XL7 is a "set-and-forget" type of device, except it really is going to be the most eye-catching object in any room, firepit circle, campground, dance hall, or party where it sits and provides the entertainment.
The speaker comes with a removable A/C cord to charge it when not in use or to keep continuous power going outside of a very respectable 20+ hour battery life. It is also packaged with a ferrite core clip to reduce low-frequency noise, absorb high-frequency noise, and produce cleaner sound. With an IPX4 water resistant rating, the XBOOM XL7 can be used outdoors and poolside so you don't have to worry. Overall, LG has your party covered with an amazing device.
A portable powerhouse for music and lights, the XBOOM XL7 speaker packs even more features with mic and guitar connectivity on the go. The XBOOM XL7 is everything you need to get the party started and keep it going.

Gigabyte laptops showcase precision structure for the pro gamer, and the Aorus line allows the gamer to focus less on the technical specs needed to run a game and to instead focus on playing the game itself. With its sleek design and impressive features under the hood, the Aorus 15 stands out as a great option for the serious gamer.
Gigabyte's Aorus 15 has a beautiful presentation, with an all-black casing accentuated by textured lines that give the laptop a unique feel. Even the touchpad has these parallel accent lines that have a rainbow effect under light. It is a heavy device, so while portable it is very much a desktop adjacent gaming station. The keyboard has standard, chiclet style keys that feel responsive but also a bit small. There is no numeric keypad, so take that into consideration. Finally, the device has three USB Type-A ports, one USB Type-C port, a Thunderbolt 4 port, an HDMI port, Mini DisplayPort, and an Ethernet port, as well as an audio combo jack.
When powered on, the device emits a pulsating blue and purple glow from below the full HD 15.6" screen and fully backlit keyboard. The light sensor area actually adjusts to ambient light in the room, a nice touch. The screen definitely catches the eye and takes up a lot of machine real estate without being fully edge-to-edge. Bold and bright, this screen is sharp with high resolution for good balance and smoothness during gaming. Most importantly, the Aorus 15 provides stable performance while running game after game along with any other tasks you throw at it between and during sessions. Those sessions run effortlessly and for a long time due in part to some really impressive cooling technology.
Built for gaming, the Aorus 15 does not disappoint. Minecraft and Roblox play well, with chat and video running smoothly. More graphics-intense games like Forza and Fortnite showed no drop-offs either. I tested numerous games with the Xbox Game Pass trial that comes with the device, and while not all of them are winners, it wasn't due to the quality of the operating system. And with the exclusive Gigabyte Control Center software preloaded into the device, you can precisely monitor your CPU and memory usage and build temperatures in real-time while also customizing it to your specific needs.
This laptop has all the bells and whistles you want for a gaming laptop. Highly recommended.
