One Minute ReviewThe fourth-generation Nest Learning Thermostat blends a terrific redesign with the smart features that we’ve all come to expect from the company’s devices. Google arguably set the bar very high back in 2011, with a control set that mirrored an iPod, and the ability to learn your cooling or heating schedule from the get-go.Between the facelift that makes it look more like a piece of art on your wall and the ‘AI’ power infused into its already well-regarded learning features, the fourth-generation Learning Thermostat is a pretty easy recommendation for most folks. Even when accounting for the price…
Govee Table Lamp 2 reviewThe Govee Table Lamp 2 is listed at $69.99 / £69.99, although, at the time of writing, there’s a sale on the Govee website lowering the price to $55.99 / £58.99. This may seem a little steep for a small light-up lamp but, if like me, you’re a fan of anything bright and colorful, appreciate extensive customization options, and enjoy the convenience of a smart lamp, then it’s definitely worth the cost.When it’s off, the design of the Govee Table Lamp 2 looks pretty nice. It’s got a modern aesthetic, with silver-colored accents and a pearly…

Roborock Qrevo Slim: two-minute reviewAlthough sporting a lower-profile design than some rivals, the Roborock Qrevo Slim is otherwise a full-size robotic vacuum and mop that is powerful, intelligent and packed with features. The redesigned LiDAR system means it can slide more easily under low furniture, getting to floorspace that other robots can’t, without any noticeable compromise in navigation performance.The well-appointed Roborock app serves up no fewer than five suction levels, plus configurability for the cleaning route and mopping performance. It also smartly raises its dual spinning mops when carpet is detected, and features a spinning side brush that pivots outwards…
Need help with Christmas cleaning? A robot vacuum might be the best hands-free helper for sweeping your floors and keeping your home tidy. Well, right now, you can get the Roborock Q5 Max Plus Robot Vacuum at Amazon for $279.99 (was $359.99).The Q5 Max Plus offers plenty of functionality for the price, especially with the self-emptying function that many robot vacuums within the same price range don’t have. It even costs less than our favorite budget robot vaccum, the Narwal Freo X Plus, which also lacks a self-emptying dock. That said, if you’d prefer a two-in-one mopping robot vacuum over…

Living in a part of England where the cold-weather vibe is more ‘incessant drizzle’ than ‘winter wonderland’, the idea of snow will never not be magical to me. However, I can see that those living in countries where snow is less of a novelty, the process of keeping it clear could quickly become just another chore that you’d rather not have to bother with.Yarbo has decided to tackle the issue by creating an autonomous snow blower, which can navigate neatly up and down your yard or driveway, blasting fresh flurries out of its way in a style that is both…
