After a couple of months of testing, I determined Eero (non-Pro) is the better mesh system because of its flawless setup and dead simple app. Google Wifi performs similarly and gives you more control, but tends to be not as smooth. Want to learn how I reached this conclusion? Read

After months of testing, I determined Chromecast with Google TV is the streaming device most should buy because it’s an incredible value for $49, and it has a superior way of organizing content. On the other hand, Apple TV 4K (Gen 3) is great for iPhone users because of

In the last five years, I've used more than 12 different Eero configurations in my home. Overall, I found that the entry-level Eero (Eero 5) is sufficient for most people because it can improve WiFi range, speed, and stability compared to a traditional single router system. In this post, I'll

After months of side-by-side testing, Eero Pro decisively pulled ahead as the superior mesh system because of its user-friendliness and better performance. Nest Wifi has great features on paper, and great speed, but it’s too inconsistent. Google Wifi (Nest Wifi’s predecessor) is a great bet for those who

After years of testing Nest and Ecobee devices, I’ve determined Ecobee SmartThermostat is the best smart thermostat because you’ll get the most control, flexibility and smart home compatibility. Nest Learning Thermostat (3rd Gen) is a great system for those who lack the c-wire or want an easy installation

I’ve been wearing an Apple Watch for more than six years, an I’ve had the Whoop  4.0 on my other wrist for the last two months. I like both fitness bands, but they aren’t trying to serve the same type of person. Apple Watch is the

After months of testing, I determined that Oura Ring Gen 3 is a solid companion to Apple Watch for sleep tracking, but it’s not enough to be a full-fledged fitness tracker by itself. Whoop 4.0 has the potential to be the ultimate all-in-one sleep and fitness tracker that

The Peloton Bike and Bike Plus have the same main features, classes, and feel the same while riding. But there’s a $750 price difference: the Bike is $1,745 (after delivery fees), while the Bike+ is $2,495. After a year and a half of using the Peloton Bike+

After two months of double-wristing Apple Watches (Series 7 and SE), and six years of wearing Apple Watch daily, I determined that Apple Watch SE is the best bet for most people because it’s more affordable with just a few minor sacrifices. Apple Watch Series 7 is the better

Eero 6 and Deco X20 have the same speed and range on paper because each has an AX1800 rating. Eero 6 has a more refined app and smoother installation process, while Deco X20 offers free content filters for parents and more Ethernet ports. You probably won’t be disappointed with

After testing 14 robot vacuums over the past three years, I determined Eufy RoboVac 11S is the best for most people because of its affordability, quietness, and strong suction. Premium Roomba vacuums (over $500) are great, but the Roomba 600 Series (614, 650, 675, 690) is no competition for Eufy

Eero Pro 6 and Orbi RBK752 are two rock-solid systems. You can’t go wrong with either. Eero Pro 6 is dead simple to install, and it does a great job of balancing great speed and stability, and it’s loaded with parental control features. Netgear Orbi RBK752 has a

Over the last few years, I’ve tested more than 10 different smart locks. After a new month of testing, I determined August is still the best smart lock platform because of its auto-unlock feature and smart home compatibility. Nest x Yale features great-looking hardware, but it doesn’t offer

After testing the entire Ring lineup in 2018, Ring Pro stood out as the best. Even with the release of three new Ring doorbells in 2020, I determined the Ring Pro is still the superior device because the motion recording is unmatched. Ring 1 is a good bet if you
