Home & smart home

A sponsored review in which he says the S7+ has changed how he cleans, with smart mapping, mopping and an auto-empty dock that make cleanin…

Magnetic levitating bulb with a wireless charging base that he loved enough to keep set up permanently.

Folds clothes automatically and could make sense as an investment, but he only gives it 3 out of 10.

Surprisingly effective at compressing rubbish, roughly doubling bin capacity, and he scores it 5 out of 10.

Expensive but impressive, with Apple-like packaging and a very powerful, therapeutic massage.

A bin that opens, seals and replaces its own bag.

Not bright or high resolution, but fine for its size and videos look good.

Creepy but surprisingly useful rotating smart display, held back by the lack of a YouTube app.

Ridiculous but really good temperature-controlled mug, though it could do with fewer features and a lower price.

A 700 dollar juicer that was unnecessary since squeezing the sachets by hand worked just as well.

An expensive streamer limited to Google content, called overbuilt for its limited functions.

Turned an ugly appliance into a piece of art, but first-gen units could turn themselves on, which was fixed by software.

Launching an always-on camera in homes just after a data scandal was badly timed and it was called the worst tech device of the year.

Some doorbells spontaneously caught fire, which he called a horrendous oversight, though fixed with an update.

Cameras protected only by a simple password were hacked, with families threatened and blackmailed.

He mentions that a Xiaomi robot vacuum is the one he uses at home, without going into detail.

He thinks the transparent TV makes little sense, since it mostly shows the cables in your wall, but likes the experimentation.

Uses them as a space-free giant soft box and mood lighting that react to music and voice.

Two identical LG CX TVs create mood backgrounds in the setup, though one remote controls both.

A brighter, louder bigger brother to the Nebula Capsule-style mini projector, with built-in battery and Android, though less portable.

A very impressive pint-sized projector with autofocus and auto-correction, though not cheap.

A pricey but one-of-a-kind digital canvas that makes artwork look like real paintings.

A small robot arm that makes ordinary appliances smart, and he thinks it is game-changing.

Not perfect, but one of his most used gadgets in the studio, with a spill-free lid and app-controlled temperature.
