As a long-time user of August locks, I was pumped to test the latest addition to the lineup: the Yale Assure 2 Plus. And it proved to be a more refined version of the older Yale Assure SL with addition of the amazing Apple Home Key feature. After a few
I’ve reviewed more than 14 different smart locks over the last eight years. I just finished four months of testing the Eufy Smart Lock Touch (S230) that has two features that I’ve never seen in a smart lock that I’ve tested: a replaceable battery and a fingerprint
Last year, I spent two months trying Levels Health, a subscription service that lets you track how your body reacts to food using continuous glucose monitoring. It’s marketed as a tool to teach you which foods are best for your body. My experience? I’ve had a love-hate relationship
In 2022, there wasn’t a single independent Eight Sleep review online, which is why I spent $2,000 on the Pod 2. I was on a mission to create a genuine review. It was a win-win proposition: either I’d improve my sleep and productivity, or, if the Pod

In this comparison, we’ll take a closer look at the Dyson V12 and Dyson V15 vacuums. As a long-time user of Dyson cordless stick vacuums, I’ve used four different models as my primary vacuum over the past five years. While the V12 might not be the most powerful
A home automation is when you program a smart home device perform an action automatically each time something happens (a trigger). Basic automation example: your smart lock sees your phone's location as you arrive home, then automatically unlocks the door. More advanced automations require multiple smart home devices
The authentic Apple Watch bands may not be the best value compared to third-party bands, but they're all well-made and what I prefer to use. In this post, I'll break down nine authentic band styles available for the smaller models (38mm, 40mm, and 41mm) on Apple.
When someone new to Apple Watch asks me which one to get, I’ve been saying the same thing for four straight years: get some version of the SE. But after Apple's most recent keynote, I was convinced that I'd finally be changing my tune because
I’m usually all in when it comes to new Apple products, but last year, I decided against buying the original Apple Watch Ultra. My daily workouts don’t exactly fall into the category of triathlons, marathons, or 20-hour long hikes, and that seemed to be who the Ultra was
Reviewing smart buttons sounds so painfully boring that I almost didn't write this post. How does someone even review them? I can hear myself now, "Yeah, the button has great clickability." It’s literally just a single button, what else is there to say? But I
