I have reviewed several digital photo frames over the past few years. I was initially sceptical of them as I always found cheaper options clearly looked like LCD displays and always felt they looked a bit cheap. But some brands like Aura produce some excellent options with matte displays, which do a half-decent job of…
Recently, SwitchBot launched several new Matter-enabled lighting products, including an RGBICWW floor lamp, strip light, and neon wire rope light, which are all fairly standard products in the world of smart lighting. The one product that stood out was the Candle Warmer Lamp. Yes, that’s a lamp that warms candles instead of lighting them, which then…
I have reviewed a lot of SwitchBot products in the past couple of years and have generally loved all of them. I like how they try to do things a bit differently from other brands, and the SwitchBot Lock Ultra Vision Combo is one of the best smart locks on the market, with advanced features…
Following my SwitchBot S20 review, I have also been looking at the new K11+ mini robot vacuum. This is the successor to the SwitchBot K10+, and I reviewed the K10+ Pro a year ago. The new SwitchBot K11+ is an incremental improvement from the previous models. The main change is the significantly smaller base station,…

I have been a big fan of smart door locks for several years now. The Yale Linus was the first lock that I committed to using full-time. I later fitted the Ultion Smart Lock on my back door. More recently, I switched to the Aqara Smart Lock U200 for my front door and the SwitchBot…

Following on from my review of the superb Aqara Smart Lock U200, I have been checking out the SwitchBot Lock Pro. This smart lock shares many of the features of the Aqara while being considerably more affordable, but how does it perform in comparison?
