Review: Anker’s SOLIX EverFrost 2 58L Electric Cooler – a second-generation model with faster dual-zone performance

A grey cooler on gravel next to a tree

As a country girl from Mississippi, I was never much a fan of camping – for one, because that far south, temperatures and humidity were unbearable during certain times of the year, and for another, because we already lived in a rural area so I would always rather enjoy nature near home and return to the comforts of AC when I was exhausted and dehydrating. It wasn’t until I moved northward, now living in NYC for 17 years, that I came to enjoy the disconnect camping – or even just hanging out all day in a park – could afford. Of course, this usually involves filling and refilling a cooler with more and more ice as the hours went on, which is no longer a problem when introducing an electric cooler into the equation. Enter the Anker SOLIX EverFrost 2 58L Electric Cooler with its dual-zone compartments, which I’ve been testing out despite New York’s still-chilly spring weather, but will certainly be a useful companion once the recreational baseball season here picks up later this month, running through summer. Head below to read about my experience so far with this all-new model that makes ice runs a thing of the past.

If you live in a home with pets, kids, or have regular visitors coming and going, then you know floors are bound to get dirty, and while cleaning is a necessity, it may be quite the annoying task once you factor in your other responsibilities into the equation. That’s why I have been an enthusiastic supporter of adding robot cleaners to my home, which has been a true game changer – both for my apartment’s upkeep, as well as for my own sanity, as it allows me a little more breathing room in my personal life to unwind and relax. After the major improvements I saw with Yeedi’s M12 Pro+ model, I was excited to see what the brand had improved upon with its latest release, the flagship S14 Plus Robot Vacuum and Mop, which has taken things to the next level.

Review: MOD’s Easy 3 and Easy SideCar 3 e-bikes provide fast-paced fun that will turn heads

Over the fall, I was invited to attend a media preview where I got my first chance to see the Easy SideCar 3 e-bike from MOD Bikes in person. After a night of browsing some of the hottest new tech to grace the market, I was offered the chance to take the e-bike home to get a first-hand experience of what this model could do. Of course, I gladly accepted, as I’ve been in love with it since I first started covering the brand’s sales long before – captivated by its unique motorcycle-inspired design and its quality parts. I was a little worried upon first hopping aboard the saddle that my hopes for this e-bike might be in for some surprise and rude awakenings, but it’s quickly turned into my favorite way to cruise around NYC during my days off, even if it isn’t necessarily built for the congestion of the Big Apple.

So far this month, we’ve already had two big LEGO reveals in the form of the Icons 10335 The Endurance set, which will be dropping onto the market on Black Friday, and the 31214 Art LOVE set, which we’ll have to wait for until 2025. We’re getting even more news today, though, as LEGO announces the expansion of its Botanicals sets into an official theme all their own, with four new building sets releasing in 2025 to celebrate this latest development. The 10342 Pretty Pink Flower Bouquet, 10343 Mini Orchid, 10344 Lucky Bamboo, and the 10345 Flower Arrangement are bringing even more vibrant elegance to both their newly minted theme and our homes, and it won’t be too long of a wait for you to get your hands on them either. Head below to get all the info and a look at the collected photos of these four new kits.

Review: Whisker’s intelligent Litter-Robot 4 – My cat loves it as much as I do, and you will too

Hands-on/Litter-bot

Back in August, my partner and I decided to invest in Whisker’s Litter-Robot 3, which I raved about in my subsequent review that you can check out here. While there was a bit of a learning curve for my sweet furbaby, he has since adjusted and all the problems that we were dealing with in his first few months since adopting him have become a thing of the past. That’s why, when given the chance to try out Whisker’s newest model, the Litter-Robot 4, with the add-on LitterHopper, I jumped at the chance to find out just how much the company has improved upon its previous designs. Not only has it been an even more comprehensive addition to my home, but it also expanded and improved many of the things I felt were missing from its predecessor. Head below to learn more about Whisker’s Litter-Robot 4, the next stage of smart, self-cleaning litter boxes that should be in the home of every cat owner.
