I've Tested Power Stations From Anker, Bluetti, EcoFlow, and Jackery. Here Are 10 Things the Specs Don't Tell You (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Portable power stations have evolved from glorified battery packs into serious home backup, RV, and emergency preparedness tools. After testing models from top brands, including Anker, Bluetti, EcoFlow, Jackery, Oupes, and Pecron side by side, I discovered that many of the most important differences aren't found on the specification sheet. Battery capacity, inverter output, and charging speed all matter, but factors like solar performance, standby power draw, app quality, fan noise, surge handli
HeyGears Reflex RS Turbo Review: Resin 3D Printing at Its Finest (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most consumer resin 3D printers come from companies that grew up serving hobbyists. Brands like Elegoo, Anycubic, and Formlabs have spent years competing on bigger build volumes, higher-resolution LCDs, and lower prices. That approach has worked well, but it usually means the printers require manual bed leveling, exposure tuning, troubleshooting failed prints, and learning the quirks of resin printing through trial and error. HeyGears is taking a different path. Originally focused on dental, med
Qidi Max 4 Review: Bumps on the Road to a Big Build Area (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Large-format 3D printers occupy a strange corner of the market. Hobbyists constantly ask for bigger build volumes, but scaling a CoreXY machine beyond the typical desktop footprint introduces a very different class of engineering challenges involving motion control, thermal management, rigidity, and reliability. The Qidi Max 4 enters that space as Qidi’s largest and most ambitious consumer machine to date, building directly on the foundation established by the smaller Qidi Plus 4, one of the (su
I Test Portable Power Stations for a Living. This FCC Ruling Might Put Me Out of Work (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week, the Federal Communications Commission voted to add foreign-produced connected power inverters to its Covered List, alongside foreign-made robot vacuums and robot lawn mowers, citing national security risks. The ban on robot vacuums is getting all the attention, but the FCC's decision targeting connected power inverters could reshape the future of home batteries and residential solar across the US. Any time a portable power station arrives for review, I wheel it or lug it into my garag
Oupes Guardian 6000 V2 Portable Power Station Review: A Strong Value for Serious Home Backup (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This review is based on testing performed on the Oupes Guardian 6000, which is no longer available. The Oupes Guardian 6000 V2 upgrades the solar charging hardware and adds support for over-the-air firmware updates, as detailed below. The V2's inverter, battery capacity, and overall platform remain unchanged from the original version, and we expect similar performance. Starting at $2,699, the Oupes Guardian 6000 V2 aims to prove you don't need to spend enterprise-grade money to get true whole-ho
