Anker’s X1 Pro shouldn’t exist, but I’m so glad it does

The Soundcore Nebula X1 Pro is too weird to exist. It takes the excellent 4K projector and karaoke microphones from Anker’s Nebula X1 and stuffs them inside a powerful five-speaker Google TV party on wheels. It’s so absurd that it feels like a gadget fever dream – and I’m here for it. At the heart […]

DJI’s first robovac is an autonomous cleaning drone you can’t trust
DJI’s first robovac is an autonomous cleaning drone you can’t trust

It’s been eight years since I last reviewed a robot vacuum. Having spent the last two months with a new flagship, I’m shocked by how much they’ve advanced from early bump-and-run models. In October, DJI launched its very first robovacs in Europe. I’ve been testing the top-of-the-line Romo P model, which doesn’t yet have a […]

The second-gen AirTags are a scatterbrain’s best friend
The second-gen AirTags are a scatterbrain’s best friend

In a somewhat controversial Vergecast episode, I declared that AirTags are a superior product to iPads. The iPad lovers roasted me across social media. I have heard and respect their opinions. But, I’m sorry – the second-gen AirTag has only deepened my conviction that the humble, $29 item tracker is one of Apple’s most helpful […]

The latest Instax printer is a pricey but worthy upgrade
The latest Instax printer is a pricey but worthy upgrade

FujiFilm’s Instax Mini Link 3 printer is a much-loved $100 accessory in my travel journal kit. I often tape a printed image next to my handwritten thoughts to preserve a moment in time. The prints produced by the instant film can, however, be soft and muddy – something the new $169.95 Instax Mini Link+ promises […]

The Stream Deck-packed gaming keyboard is a monster of good ideas

The Corsair Galleon 100 SD didn’t just come out of the ether. The new full-size mechanical keyboard with a Stream Deck fused to its side is the result of a lot of things coming together over the years. Corsair’s gaming business is more refined than ever, and Stream Deck’s wide ecosystem of plug-ins makes the […]

The Loch Capsule dishwasher is small, fast, and efficient — it even sanitizes gadgets
The Loch Capsule dishwasher is small, fast, and efficient — it even sanitizes gadgets

A dishwasher is a luxury item some people can’t live without. It’s one of the first major kitchen devices I bought just as soon as I could afford one, and the appliance I thought I’d miss most in my nomadic vanlife pursuits. Loch sent me its $459.99 / €459.99 countertop Capsule dishwasher to review in […]

TCL’s PlayCube projector is more fun than a Rubik’s Cube
TCL’s PlayCube projector is more fun than a Rubik’s Cube

The best all-in-one portable projector is the one that makes all the right compromises. It needs to balance image and sound quality with battery life and responsiveness in a device that’s not too expensive and small enough to take anywhere. TCL’s fun little PlayCube delivers the right mix to justify paying $800 for a 1080p […]

Dometic makes a better portable water faucet
Dometic makes a better portable water faucet

As a reluctant doomsday prepper and eager vanlifer, Dometic’s battery-powered Go Faucet has, for the last few years, played a central role in my bougie bug-out kit and my camping rig’s water system. So it took me all of two minutes with Dometic’s new Recon 360 Faucet to realize it’s an upgrade in every single […]
