It goes without saying that bringing a charcoal grill into your home is unsafe.

There’s no need for chargers or batteries; the sun will juice them up all day long.

Our intrepid reviewer — who just so happens to be me! — wore this neck fan on a particularly sweltering Disney trip and found instant relief from the Florida sun. As I put it: “It saved me from overheating during those long days at Disney; being able to clock the number of miles I did in a 100° heat wave makes it worth ten times its weight in gold.” The fan has three speed settings — low, medium and high — and offers four to 16 hours of continuous cooling on a single charge, depending on your selection.
Said our in-house tech expert: “If you like to listen all day — and I mean all day — Sony’s got your earbuds.

No other earbuds in this roundup even come close” He added: “These are premium in-ear speakers, and it shows in the beautifully broad and balanced soundstage, the crackerjack ANC and the AirPods Pro-level voice call quality.”

If you’re someone who wants to enjoy quality coffee without the maintenance, the Pop is for you! Just push a button, wait two minutes and drink, then empty the pod receptacle after five to seven uses — that’s all it takes. It’s a clean and efficient little machine. The one drawback: The Vertuo Pop does not crossbreed, and limits you to Nespresso pods only. However, the brand has a long enough menu to keep you entertained for years.
What sets the Thirsti apart from a manual model like the SodaStream? It’s electrically powered — just choose your preferred settings and let ‘er rip.
