The CHEF iQ Smart Pressure Cooker 6 Quart WiFi sits in an interesting corner of the kitchen-appliance market. It is not just another electric pressure cooker, and it is not quite a countertop robot chef either. What it really offers is a more software-heavy take on the familiar multi-cooker: ...
The EZ Outlet Extender sits in a quieter corner of the home-tech world: accessibility-focused power accessories. It is not a smart plug, not a surge strip, and not one of those flashy modular charging towers trying to become the centrepiece of a desk. It appears to be a simple physical soluti...
The One Beat Surge Protector Outlet Extender sits in a very ordinary product category that most people only think about when they run out of plugs: the wall-tap surge protector. But this one is trying to solve a few specific annoyances at once. It adds 6 AC outlets, 4 USB ports, and a...
The CharMeter WiFi Sous Vide Cooker ISV-100W lives in a crowded corner of the kitchen gadget world: the immersion circulator that promises restaurant-style steak, foolproof chicken, and less stress over overcooking. The tricky part is that this category now has a huge price spread. You can fi...
The GoveeLife WiFi Refrigerator Thermometer 2-Pack sits in a quieter corner of the smart-home world: the small, practical gadgets that do one job and do it in the background. This is not a flashy countertop appliance or a screen-covered kitchen toy. It is a pair of connected temperature senso...
The KitchenBoss WiFi Sous Vide Cooker 1100W sits in a part of the kitchen gadget market that looks deceptively simple from the outside. To a lot of shoppers, all sous vide sticks appear to be roughly the same thing: a clamp, a heating element, a little screen, and a promise of perfectly cooke...

A single router—no matter how powerful—can't push a strong signal through walls, floors, and the general chaos of a Canadian home. Mesh systems solve this b...
Every Canadian home has WiFi dead zones. The basement rec room, the upstairs bedroom farthest from the router, the backyard patio in summer—there's always a spot where the signal drops to nothing. A WiFi extender takes your existing router's signal and rebroadcasts it to those dead zones, giving ...
Travel gear gets weirdly aspirational, fast. A normal weekend road trip or campsite setup does not require a roof box full of battery stations, tactical lanterns, and titanium everything. Most people need a much simpler kit: a way to deal with tire pressure, a way to make a hot drink, a way to sl...
WiFi 7 (802.11be) is the latest wireless standard, and it's a significant leap. Multi-Link Operation (MLO) lets devices use multiple frequency bands simultaneously, 320MHz channels double the bandwidth, and 4K-QAM improves data encoding efficiency. The result: theoretical speeds up to 46 Gbps...
First-year dorm shopping gets weird fast. You start out needing a few basics, then five minutes on TikTok or Amazon turns the whole thing into a fantasy apartment build with neon lights, aesthetic humidifiers, countertop espresso gear, and enough chargers to run a small server rack. Most dorm roo...
WiFi 6E is the Goldilocks of wireless networking in 2026. WiFi 6 is aging out, WiFi 7 is still expensive and overkill for most households, and WiFi 6E sits right in the middle—fast enough for gigabit internet plans, mature enough for stable firmware, and affordable enough that you won't wince at ...
