Memorial Day Dyson Vacuum Deals: V15 Detect, Gen5Detect, PencilVac On Sale
Don't miss these vacuum deals happening over the holiday weekend. Shopping for a Dyson vacuum is an experience. There are many models to navigate and serious price tags on most of them. As someone who tests vacuums for a living, I have to admit that a Dyson blows most other vacuums away. There are a few cheaper models I'll still grab (check out my full guide to cordless and robot vacuums for more recommendations), but if you're dreaming of a Dyson, this weekend is a great time to buy.
Epson Lifestudio Grand Plus Review: Rich Colors, Gemini Support
The configuration process is outdated. Google Home did not recognize the projector on my network. Ultrashort-throw (UST) projectors offer more flexibility than traditional (long-throw) models. No one can ever step in front of one and block the projection, since the unit doesn't require distance and can sit up close to the screen rather than at the back of the room. This also lets all your streaming gear, a soundbar, and a game console connect close to the screen.
Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Review: The Privacy Screen
Now I wish every smartphone had a built-in privacy display. Privacy Display is very useful. Some AI features are useless. Did you privately ask ChatGPT how to bring up nonmonogamy with your husband? Your commuting neighbor on the train snuck a glance at your phone, guffawed internally, and blasted it on X with a satisfied smirk.

How to Use Smart Lighting Around the Home: Reviewer Recommendations
I've been reviewing smart lighting for years. Here are tips on how to prep, what to choose, and the smart lights that work best in each room. The importance of light in our daily lives is often underestimated. It can motivate and make you feel energized or create a cozy feel and help you relax. We've never had more choice or control over the light in our homes, so if you're still using regular bulbs and lamps, it's time to switch to smart lighting. I've been testing and reviewing smart lighting for years, and I've learned loads about what works and what doesn't.
Antigravity A1 Review: A 360-Degree Drone
The world's first 360-degree drone is fun all around, if you don't mind the steep price or wearing goggles to control it. As someone who has been reviewing camera drones for over a decade, it's rare for me to encounter one that feels genuinely new. While DJI's continual stream of steadily improving, ever-reliable drones almost always impresses, what Antigravity has done with its first-ever product, the A1, essentially invents an entirely novel subcategory: the 360 drone. Using the same shoot-first, frame-later technology as the Insta360 X5 (Antigravity is technically a distinct company from Insta360, but the brands have close ties), the A1 has twin cameras to capture everything around it, allowing the user to reframe the footage later using mobile or desktop apps. Each of the cameras uses a 1/1.28-inch sensor and an ultrawide lens to capture a hemispherical view.

Amazon Kindle Paperwhite (2024, 12th Generation) $ 160 Our all-time favorite Kindle packs a three-month battery life, an auto-adjusting warm light, and a nice seven-inch screen for one of the best e-reader experiences. Dell had a killer $500 discount all weekend on the Core Ultra 5 version of its Dell 14 Plus. It was a high-end laptop being sold for downright budget-level prices. It's sold out now, unfortunately. But the current discount is still quite good. This is a very strong display for a laptop at this price. While the Surface Laptop is better in many ways, the $650 Dell 14 Plus gets you a full terabyte of storage. Microsoft's Surface Laptop is the closest thing the Windows world has to a MacBook, and it's never been so cheap. Usually, inexpensive Chromebooks have subpar displays and touchpads, but this Acer model's are just fine--at a killer price. Our favorite gaming laptop has a sleek, thin design and impressive graphics. Weighing only 2.16 pounds, it's one of the lightest laptops you can buy, without making any major sacrifices to achieve that weight. The M4 MacBook Air has been the best laptop on the market since it was released in 2024.
