    Arlo's New Security Camera Can Run Year-Round, Thanks to the Sun (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Arlo just announced a new, $100 smart home security camera with an integrated solar panel. It’s called the Essential Solar Security Camera, and, according to Arlo, it can run year-round without needing you to charge it. The Essential Solar camera sounds impressive, at least hardware-wise. It outputs up to 2K video at 24 frames per second, features a fairly wide, 130-degree field of view, and has both 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi radios, so you’ve got connectivity options. It has an LED spotlight built

    Mova LiDAX Pro 800 Review: This Robomower Tried to Mow Me Down (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    After getting familiar with the world of robomowers this summer for Gizmodo, I’m convinced of a couple of things. One is that these devices are still pricey for what you get, and the other is that rear-wheel-drive (RWD) models are only worth it if you have the most basic lawn possible. But above all, they’re cool and fun to watch, the way robot vacuums were back when they were new. As long as they don’t try to make mincemeat of you, that is. I’m generally good with the limitations of RWD robotic

    iRobot Roomba Max 775 Review: A Respectable Roomba Redux (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The iRobot Roomba was, if you ignore one expensive and trilobite-shaped forebear, the first robot vacuum. And for a long time after its 2002 introduction, it was also the best one. But its star eventually faded sometime in the early 2020s, and after a failed attempt in 2024, after two years of trying, to sell itself to Amazon, iRobot filed for bankruptcy. In January of this year, it was finally acquired by Picea Robotics, a Chinese robot vacuum manufacturer with partners such as Anker, Xiaomi, a

    Dyson's Latest Robovac Is Ideal for People Who Don't Care About Mop-Bots (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Dyson has released three new robot vacuums this week: the $550 R1 Nurovi Dry, the $700 R2 Nurovi Wash+Dry, and the $1,200 R3 Nurovi Spot+Scrub. And it’s actually the cheapest of those that caught my eye the most. Robot vacuums can be a very nice thing to have around the house, but high-end floor bot pricing has ballooned out of control lately, with some encroaching on the $2,000 marker. At the same time, some of these robots—I’m looking at you, Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Roller—can whiff so hard on the

    Govee's New Table Lamp Spews Color All Over Your Wall (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Earlier this week, Govee sneakily released the Wallwasher Smart Table Lamp, a round lamp with three LEDs meant to blast color onto your wall. As of this writing, the new lamp is only available on Amazon for a cool $100. It’s an interesting light, not least because it seems very much like a direct competitor to the Philips Hue Play Wall Washer, a very upscale (read: much pricier, at $220, than Govee’s version) lamp meant to create ambient light shows and slick, behind-your-TV synchronized lightin
