The desk height ranges from 25.5 to 51.1 inches, and the dual motors glide effortlessly up and down, and they’re not too loud. You’ll want to be careful when lowering it—there’s collision detection, and it successfully stopped the desk from crushing a stool after I put it underneath, but it …

Everybody loves a good foot massage. As an avid runner with plantar fasciitis, I often need a good foot massage. So when I heard about the Nike x Hyperice collaboration to develop a shoe with compression and heating capabilities built in, I was eager to learn more. The Hyperboots feature …

My relationship with my body hair remains, as it has always been, complicated. The first time I ever shaved was when I was 12, and since then I’ve run the gamut from regular waxes every six weeks to going months without removing a single hair. I’m all for the full …

Finding the right tent for a backpacking trip is always tricky. You have to balance packed size and weight against livability and how well it stands up to wind and rain. I’ve always erred on the side of a sturdy tent over any weight concerns, which is why I love …

I really, really appreciate Ninja’s take on the Luxe’s milk steaming system. Some automatic espresso machines incorporate a container of milk that has to be brought back and forth from the refrigerator, like the ones from this list.

Combined with the X1’s four speakers, you’ve got 200 watts of lossless audio power through one cable, and with Dolby Audio support (although no Dolby Atmos) and 25 ms latency on screen there’s no synching issues I could spot. Range for the speakers is up to 100 feet, but you’ll …

Having reviewed dozens of drones of all shapes, sizes, and prices, I’d recently come to the conclusion that smaller, lighter, and cheaper drones were the way to go for 90 percent of consumers. Premium drones, with all their equipment and flight regulations, just didn’t make sense. But then DJI launched …

The Oracle Jet incorporates the tablet computer interface from the Oracle Touch dual-boiler machine, but swaps out the slow-heating dual boiler for a pair of fast-heating ThermoJets that heat water at the steam spout of the brewing head—which means no more waiting for the machine to warm up. Note that …

More annoying is the fact that the TV froze on me a few times while streaming with both Apple TV+ and Disney+, usually when trying to rewatch or fast-forward a scene. A streaming box is an easy solution, but I’m hoping LG will address these issues in a future update. …
