Today, I’m summarizing my experience with three Apple Home Key locks: the Yale Assure 2 Plus, Schlage Encode Plus, and Level Lock+. Apple’s Home Key is a must-have feature for families with iPhones and Apple Watches. But after using each of these locks in my home for at

I recently bought a new house and decided to upgrade my WiFi to the best Eero system available: the Eero Max 7. This was the perfect opportunity to start fresh and optimize the position of my nodes throughout the house, which is always a fun time for a nerd like

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

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

After three months of testing, I've determined that Schlage Encode Plus is my new favorite lock and the one anyone trying to get their hands on the Apple Home Key feature should buy. It has all the features a lock should have with just one minor downside, which

Over the last five years, I've used more than 12 different Eero configurations in my home. But in this post, I'll focus on the four Eero WiFi 6 models: Eero 6, Eero 6+, Eero Pro 6, and Eero Pro 6E. Eero 6 and Eero 6+ are

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 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
