💵Bang for the Buck 3.5 I'll be honest, I didn't have a lot of faith in robot mops. A carpet and a tank of water — unattended — seems like a recipe for disaster for a machine that's just guessing on floor type. And doesn't babysitting defeat the purpose of a robotic cleaner in the first place? But Roborock's latest stab at automated dry and wet cleaning, the Roborock S7, can be trusted to do both jobs without getting itself into trouble. Design and setup: Sleek and simple At first glance, the S7 looks as expensive as it is. The design (a shiny black or white surface with si...

💵Bang for the Buck 3.5 Before I tried out the Fenix 6 Pro Solar, all I knew is that it’s one of Garmin’s more maximalist models that’s “tested to U.S. military standards for thermal, shock and water resistance” and priced at $799.99.  Admittedly that description sounded a little excessive for my purposes as most of my activity comes in the form of running. But I was curious about how user-friendly and useful in general its many features would be.

💵Bang for the Buck 3.0 This past year of pandemic living has made nearly everyone more reliant on screens…  and therefore more desperate than ever for screen-free entertainment.

💵Bang for the Buck 4.5 Screens have been essential for survival during this pandemic period, but that doesn’t mean parents are happy with the status quo. There's been a concurrent scramble to find screen-free alternatives that appeal to the kids.  Audio readers are a palatable – albeit expensive – screen-free toy alternative. Combining education and entertainment, audio readers like Lunii's My Fabulous Storyteller are designed for kids to operate independently, so they can listen to stories whenever they like, at home or on the go.  The Lunii has lots to recommend ...

💵Bang for the Buck 1.5 Before we get into this review, I’d be remiss not to admit something up front: I am very susceptible to Instagram-famous products. Call me a sucker, sue me, whatever — I simply cannot resist a stylishly muted color or a sunlit product photo. I try to scroll past, but they call to me.  I'm willing to bet that a lot of you out there are just like me. Please know that you are seen.  Unsurprisingly, I was extra intrigued by the Always Pan from Our Place. You've probably seen it on Instagram: It's that pan with the cool minimalist design, handy spatu...
