Acer has a habit of announcing some random products at its various global launch events. In the past, they have launched the impressive Predator Thronos Air gaming chair, a couple of years ago, it was the PredatorShot energy drink, they even announced the Acerpure Cool Air Purifier. This year it is an e-bike, which is…
Wahoo has been consistently rolling out new features for the excellent ELEMNT GPS bike computer. The latest addition is handy for people like me that quite often don’t plan a route before a ride. The Summit Freeride enables Summit Segments for all rides, without the need for a cyclist to use a pre-loaded route. Summit…
Aqara teased the launch of the new FP2 presence sensor earlier in the year, and this is quite an exciting product for smart home enthusiasts. The FP2 presence sensor uses mmWave radar instead of a traditional passive infrared (PIR) presence sensor. With PIR, they are not very good if you are in the room but…
I have previously reviewed the OBSBOT Tiny PTZ and the Tiny 4K and was impressed with the performance of both of these AI powered PTZ cameras. OBSBOT recently announced the Tiny 2, which is a big upgrade thanks to the new 1/1.5” camera sensor, which should significantly improve video quality and handle poor lighting much…
EcoFlow has officially launched three new exciting products. The EcoFlow Glacier battery-powered portable fridge, the Wave 2 battery-powered portable AC unit and the EcoFlow Blade. The Blade is the world’s first robotic lawn-sweeping mower with virtual boundary navigation and obstacle avoidance. The two main differences between this and existing robotic lawnmowers are that this features…
Earlier this year, at CES, EcoFlow announced the new EcoFlow Glacier battery-powered portable fridge and the Wave 2 portable AC and heater. Today, they have announced the full specification of both products, including pricing and availability. Unlike the portable air con units I have covered frequently on this site, the EcoFlow Wave 2 is positioned…
When the EcoFlow Glacier was announced at CES 2023, it quickly became one of my most eagerly anticipated products for the year. I don’t really know why, just something a gadget to keep my beer cold excites me. I loved the Alpicool K25 when I reviewed it last summer. EcoFlow Glacier Highlights The EcoFlow Glacier…
I reviewed the Netatmo smart smoke alarm back in 2019 and Netatmo has continued to update this useful piece of smart technology as well as the carbon monoxide alarm they have. The latest update adds compatibility of its Smart Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarms with the Google voice assistant. Both are now compatible with two…
Today, TerraMaster has announced a new affordable NAS that will appeal to small businesses. The TerraMaster U4-423 is a four-bay NAS, but rather than the desktop-style NAS products I have reviewed from them in the past, this is a rackmount NAS. It weighs just 3.2kg without drives and occupies just one rack unit being 40mm…
I previously wrote an article comparing Zigbee vs Z-Wave and the pros and cons of each smart home technology. Thread is a new smart home communication protocol that builds upon the Zigbee specification and is available at no cost; however, this requires agreement and continued adherence to an End-User License Agreement (EULA). Albeit, you have…
I have recently covered several smart home products, and many of these use the Zigbee communication protocol. There is also the Z-Wave which I have covered extensively in the past, and then you have Thread which is an up-and-coming protocol. It can get confusing what the difference is between these technologies and which is best,…
Unlike every other brand that develops smart scales, Withings are not content with just one model for a smart scale. They have four options available in the UK, and this will expand to five later in the year with the launch of the new Withings Body Smart. Withings just seem to do things a bit…
