Sleek $899 urban ebike is as impressive to ride as it looks
With a market flooded with options, it can be daunting finding an electric bike that meets modest demands – like commuting to work and exploring on weekends – that also comes with a modest price tag. This superb number ticks both boxes, and then some. -
Review: Smart stargazing with a Dwarf III telescope and a phone
After a couple of successful Kickstarters for versions of its book-sized smart telescope, DwarfLab opted to jump straight into production for the Dwarf III. We've recently been out stargazing and wildlife watching with this budget-friendly sky watcher. -
Review: T2 Max thermal camera catches the wild heat
Hunting and wildlife observation is like the start of the classic recipe for rabbit stew – first catch your rabbit or, at least, find it. The new Thermal Master T2 Max thermal scope makes that job a bit easier with its high resolution system. Let's take a look. -
Review: Riding high in Utah, on Can-Am’s Apache track system
Side-by-side utilities (aka UTVs) are fun and useful machines. Add on Can-Am Apache tank tracks for the snow, though, and they gain a whole new season of usefulness. I went to Utah to find out how. -
Review: 2025 Chevrolet Equinox and Equinox EV aren't as similar as you might think
The 2025 Chevrolet Equinox comes in two basic flavors: gasoline-powered and battery electric. The two are not mechanically related, but their naming means consumers see them as the same. And so I drove them both. -
Review: Roborock Flexi Lite wet/dry power mop ain't a vacuum
Roborock's handsome Flexi Lite claims 17,000 pascals of suction, 40 minutes of battery, a self-cleaning and drying roller-mop, a lay-flat mode for getting under furniture, and right-to-the-edge cleaning on one side. How's it go, then? -
Review: Newest Roomba makes mopping and vacuuming even more hands-off
This tech has come a long way since the first Roomba in 2002. Now, the latest in iRobot's vacuum-mop range, the Combo 10 Max, has made some noted advances. But will it be enough to convert me – or any other newcomers – to the robot-cleaner life? -
Review: Eureka J20 wet/dry robot vacuum automates its own maintenance
Eureka's new flagship robo-cleaner goes to impressive lengths to look after itself, automating as much of its maintenance as possible so you don't need to. We've been living with this plucky robot for a few months now. -
Unique boots are more than a "hybrid of a sleeping bag and boa constrictor"
If you suffer from any leg discomfort – temporary or chronic – you'll know how hard it can be to treat, beyond frequent sessions on the physiotherapist's table. Now, US company Ublives wants to give you the same relief – whenever you need it. -
Review: Micro-camping the Idaho wilds in Escapod's monocoque teardrop
Escapod teardrops have come a long since we reviewed the original Topo trailer back in 2019. Does the handsome fiberglas-composite Topo2 hold its own on a trip through some of the rawest terrain in the US Lower 48? Only one way to find out. -
Review: New 2025 Can-Am Outlander
The Outlander 850 and 1000R, the largest of Can-Am’s ATVs, are new for 2025, with changes from headlights to tail lamps. I traveled to the rocky high elevations of British Columbia to climb mountains on these new Outlander models. -
Review: Formovie's Theater Premium ultra-short-throw smart projector
If you're looking to replace your living room TV with something that doesn't dominate your space until it's powered on, Formovie is hoping that its flagship Theater Premium ultra-short-throw projector will fit the bill. We've been sent one to try out.
