Anker smart display charger: is Care Mode worth it for overnight charging?
Quick take If you charge your phone next to the bed, the slow mode and the screen are why I’d pick this charger. I filmed it in a 58-second Short. The screen is the part I care about. It shows your battery percentage right on the block, and it recognizes the phone you plug in.…

I unboxed a tall white Morento air purifier on the kitchen counter. Grey slatted top. Black display on the front. Then I ran it on the tile. This is the HY4866. What did I actually do with the Morento HY4866? In the box: a white barrel-jack power cable. User manual. Warranty card. Two rectangular HEPA…

eufy SoloCam S340 vs E50: should I wait for the new one?
Quick take If you need a camera up this month, the S340 is still the one I’d buy. I picked it over the $550-plus S3 Pro bundles, and it tracked me day and night. My two gripes were that it drops from 3K to 2K when it’s tracking, and it won’t zoom in on my…
