A grill-cleaning robot?! It just might save you BBQ season stress

There’s a lot of reasons to look forward to your next barbecue—you get to eat good food, pet cute dogs, play lawn games, and maybe get some long-awaited pool time. What’s less exciting? Having to clean up the mess on your grill when your sunburn sets in and all the guests have gone home. And if you like to barbecue on the regular, cleaning the sticky, charred mess of your grill each time gets old fast.

Guess what? There’s a robot that can you help. The Grillbot** is designed to take the tedium and mess out of scraping your grill.

Here at Reviewed, we don’t like to take anything for granted. Having already tested the best grills and best grill tools, we took the Grillbot for a spin on some of our most charred grills to see if it actually works.

What does the Grillbot do?

You can set the Grillbot to a 10, 20, or 30-minute cleaning cycle.

First launched at the Consumer Electronics Show in 2014, the Grillbot Automatic Grill Cleaning Robot has one very simple purpose—cleaning your dirty grill for you. The hand-sized device houses a rechargeable lithium ion battery and three independent motors inside of a heat-resistant plastic shell. Each motor powers a spinning brass brush, which can be detached and run through the dishwasher after use.

To use the Grillbot, you must initially charge the battery for at least two hours, place the device on a dirty grill grate, and click the single button on its shell to select a cleaning cycle of 10, 20, or 30 minutes. Then, close your grill’s lid and let the robot do its thing. The Grillbot manual specifies that the device can be safely used on cold or hot grills up to 250 degrees—so not while flames are present. It probably also goes without saying that the Grillbot works dry and is not compatible with water or other cleaning fluid.

Here’s how it works

The bristles spin quickly, picking up soot and food as they move.

Because it’s summertime and the weather is fine, Reviewed has not one, but two charcoal grills in our outdoor test area. I made sure they had been properly dirtied through charcoal testing, and then did some additional grilling to replicate the conditions of a barbecue.

After charging the battery and assembling the device, I decided to run the Grillbot through one still-warm grill for 10 minutes, and through a completely cold grill for 30 minutes, beginning with the warm grill.

Once it’s programmed to start, the Grillbot quickly scuttles around, crab-like, all over the grill grates. As it moves it made a loud whizzing sound that’s not unexpected, but far from pleasant. While it’s fun and vaguely entrancing to watch the robot move, you can’t keep the grill lid open for long without risking the robot running off the side and out of the grill, so I had to close it and return when time was up.

After the 10-minute run, I lifted the grill lid and discovered that the Grillbot had given the grates a decent surface clean. There were still some burnt spots, and the underside of the grates were still dark and dirty, but it appears the device has picked up a lot of grime from the top of the grill. The brush bristles were partially blackened with soot and charred food.

The 30-minute run on the cold grill was much the same, with slightly cleaner results. There was no immediate visible difference between the two grills, except the cold grill had less food still stuck around its perimeter. It’s worth noting we were unable to test on a large gas grill, which typically have wider grates that may react differently to the Grillbot.

When testing was done, I picked the Grillbot back up and deposited it in its case for next time—cleaning the bristles could wait.

Should you buy the Grillbot?

Before and after the Grillbot attacked out grill grates.

All in all, the Grillbot cleaned the surface of the grills enough to be safely used again, but wasn’t as thorough or precise as most people could be with a manual clean. Because the bristles on the device can’t truly reach around and under the grill grates, it can’t replicate a human being scrubbing with a strong angled brush.

The robot’s fast, erratic movement, which didn’t seem to track along specific grates lines, additionally kept it from achieving a deep clean. It’s also a far cry from proper seasonal grill cleaning, which involves removing the grill grates and scrubbing them with a combination of water and soap, baking soda, or salt.

The device’s time-saving element is dubious, but it depends on how you frame it. While the Grillbot is running, you can be off doing other things like enjoying your barbecue or taking a nap. But if you’re eager to have your grill clean and ready to go, the device will take longer to work than manual scrubbing will. The Grillbot is also never going to save you money in the long run—for $100, you could go through years and years of grill regular grill brushes, which are already quite durable.

Ultimately, we don’t think the Grillbot is worth the investment for most people. But if you have mobility or joint issues, zero time to spare when cooking, or just absolutely hate cleaning your grill, the Grillbot will certainly save you some stress and effort. People who grill multiple times a week might also find the “set it and forget it” nature of the device appealing. Think of it like an electric can opener—really helpful for some people, but extraneous for most.

The Best Robot Vacuums of 2025

Sat, 05 Jul 2025 18:02:48 +0000

Products are chosen independently by our editors. Purchases made through our links may earn us a commission.

The best robot vacuums of today are not the clunky furniture destroyers from a decade or even a few years ago. Whether using object recognition or Lidar, their navigational abilities are better than ever, and new users have no idea what it was once like having to save your robot vacuum from a near death fall down a staircase.

Also, like many small appliances in your home, modern automated floor cleaners use Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, which allows you to control your robot vacuum cleaner with smart apps, as well as with voice assistants like Alexa and Google.

Interestingly, prices for robot vacuums can range from a couple hundred dollars to nearly $2,000, and their capabilities reflect that. Do you need to spend the same amount as you would on a small vacation? No, but it you can afford to punch up, we support you! You won't regret it.

We’ve tested the most popular robot vacuums from iRobot, Eufy, Dyson, and Ecovacs to find out which ones are the best. After extensive testing, we’ve found that the iRobot Roomba j9+ (available at Amazon for $399.98) is the best robot vacuum on the market right now, but it's got a strong competitor in the Dyson 360 Vis Nav. For a budget buy, we think the iRobot Roomba Combo Essential offers a great value for your money.

If you're interested in a robot vacuum that can also mop your floor, we've got our best robot and mop combo guide.

The iRobot Roomba j9+ is a superb robot vacuum cleaner.

Best Robot Vacuum Overall

iRobot Roomba J9+

Navigation: Excellent
Navigational technology: Lidar
Self-empties: Yes
Mop function: No

iRobot lands top honors again with its Roomba j9+ robot vacuum. It takes over where its predecessor (the Roomba j7+) leaves off, with even better suction power, cleaning capabilities, and navigation.

When it comes to cleaning, on average, it picked up around 9.45 grams of our testing debris per run, and it also does well with intense amounts of pet hair. This puts it in the top 10% of all the robot vacuums we’ve tested.

Its navigation abilities are advanced as well. The unit uses lidar technology, and it seamlessly transitions from floor to carpet and back again, avoiding furniture, cords, and most importantly, pet accidents.

The j9+'s charging base is simple and black, and it will empty the robot vacuum's dustbins automatically so you don’t have to get your hands dirty. However, when doing so, plug your ears. This puppy is loud.

Its user interface is incredibly simple yet effective. The best robot vacuum overall, the J9+ is a good fit for most households out there.

We needed to rescue the Vis Nav from our throw rug multiple times.

Best Robot Vacuum Upgrade

Dyson 360 Vis Nav

Navigation: Fair
Navigational technology: Object recognition
Self-empties: No
Mop function: No

The Dyson 360 Vis Nav is a robot vacuum that specializes in deep cleaning. It is driven by a digital motor and is capable of producing 65 air-watts of suction. Normally, pure air wattage doesn’t amount to much, however, the Vis Nav knows how to apply it. With its full-width brush roll, its ability to deal with dust, pet hair, and crumbs, it’s head and shoulders above the competition.

The motor is powered by a battery that can run up to 65 minutes. The 360 Vis Nav devoured crumbs and pet hair during our cleaning tests. On average it picked up 9.75 grams of dirt and debris per run, which is more than the 9.45 grams iRobot’s latest j9+ picked up.

It’s also a robot that’s geared for human usage. The engineering is on point. The buttons have a satisfying click, the app is intuitive to use, and the whole package is quality.

This robot vacuum will get to work when you leave the house.

Best Budget Robot Vacuum

iRobot Roomba Combo Essential

Navigation: Decent
Navigational technology: Lidar
Self-empties: Yes
Mop function: Yes

Among robot vacuums, the general plus or minus $300 price point is a crowded lane, so for a vacuum to really stand out it has to do lots of things well. The iRobot Combo Essential does just this, with mopping, useful controls, and more. It’s this plethora of accomplishments that makes it our pick for the best robot vacuum in the budget category.

With similar vacuuming performance to the far pricier iRobot j9+, the iRobot Combo Essential picked up 9.3 grams of dirt in our tests. It also mops, using a microfiber cloth and water tank, cleaning up to 500 square feet.

Automation happens through the iRobot Home App, which enables you to start, stop, and schedule. Rather than scheduling, the vacuum can be programmed to begin work when you leave home, starting up when it senses that you’ve left the house.

With a feature set that adds up to compete with far more expensive robot vacuums, the iRobot Roomba Combo Essential presents some of the best value around.

Eufy Robot Vacuum 3-in-1 E20 Review

Sat, 05 Jul 2025 17:21:05 +0000

Products are chosen independently by our editors. Purchases made through our links may earn us a commission.

The Eufy Robot Vacuum 3-in-1 E20 (available at Amazon) is the best of both worlds when it comes to vacuuming, combining a robot vacuum, a cordless stick vacuum, and a handheld in one sleek package. You get up to 8,000 Pa suction with the autonomous robot vacuum and up to 30,000 Pa suction in stick vacuum mode. But more importantly, you can clean any which way you like. The motor sits within the robot vacuum and clicks out, snapping onto the cordless stick when you choose to clean a floor manually. The Eufy 3-in-1 E20 is one of those “why didn’t anyone think of this earlier” options in the market.

The vacuum has high-performance filters and uses Lidar navigation with ultra-wide front scanning and smart obstacle avoidance. Easily control it using the companion app, which also maps your home room by room. Once it’s done, the robot vacuum dutifully returns to its charging dock, which also has an auto-empty function.

There’s no direct comparison to this unique machine, but it is a single, affordable unit that replaces the need to have a robot vacuum and a cordless vacuum. It performs best as a robot, while the stick is handy for hard-to-reach spots and quick cleans.

About the Eufy Robot Vacuum 3-in-1 E20

Credit: Reviewed / Christine Persaud

The Eufy 3-in-1 E20 is a robot vacuum and cordless stick vacuum-in-one that also functions as a handheld vacuum. It works with a variety of optional accessories and comes with a floor brush cleaning head, a 2-in-1 combination tool, and a crevice tool.

Dimensions: 15.22 x 9.85 x 7.36 inches (auto emptying station), 13.78 x 13.78 x 4.67 inches (robot vacuum)
Weight: 15.2 lbs.
Navigation: LiDAR camera with 129° ultra-wide front scanning, obstacle avoidance
Self-empties: Yes (3L bag, holds up to 75 days worth)
Mop function: No
Comes with docking station: Yes
Battery life: 180 minutes
Filter: Washable, replace as needed (every six months on average)
User manual: E20 user manual

With powerful suction, including turbo modes, it can pick up all types of debris using the anti-tangle comb teeth. Thanks to Lidar navigation, the robot can intelligently map your home and conveniently avoid objects on the floor, including furniture, as well as items as small as 15mm, like a rogue piece of LEGO your child left under the couch.

Use the intuitive companion app to control it, manage maps, adjust settings, and more. Once has completed a cleaning cycle with the robot vacuum, it auto empties into its docking station, which can store up to 75 days’ worth of dust and debris. Remove the bag, clip in a new one, and you’re good to go.

How we tested

We tested this vacuum in a traditional home setting, letting it run on hardwood floors, tiles, and a living room carpet as well as carpet runners and front and back door mats. We used both the robot vacuum, letting it scoot about on its own, as well as the cordless stick for manual passes and quick clean-ups. We also used it as a handheld to clean corners, baseboards, and furniture. We tried all modes, including Eco, Standard, Turbo, and Max as well as x2. Using the app, we mapped the main living area of the home, naming the rooms and running both full cleans and room-specific cleans. To compensate for not having pets in the home, we used human hair pulled from a hairbrush, leaving it in clumps and broken apart into both medium and large sized pieces to mimic all types of pet hair.

The vacuum was used periodically for daily and weekly cleans over several weeks. Along with regular maintenance, we simulated common spills, including cereal bits, coffee grounds, and other small and large particles.

What we like

The design is incredibly versatile

Credit: Reviewed / Christine Persaud

The robot vacuum cleans the floors of your home, and you can pop out the motor and dustbin, click it into the cordless stick with the floor brush cleaning head, and finish the job.

How can you go wrong with a vacuum set-up that includes both a robot and a cordless stick? Dubbed as the “world’s first” of this type, it’s a design that makes total sense. We have always recommended having at least a cordless stick vacuum alongside a robot vacuum to handle those hard-to-reach places that a robot can’t get to on its patterned runs. This system combines both in a single package, affording fantastic value, especially for its price.

We love that you can set the robot vacuum to clean the floors of your entire home, lifting it from one floor to the next if you live in a multi-level home. Pop out the motor and dustbin, click it into the cordless stick with the floor brush cleaning head, and finish the job. It’s so convenient and both vacuum types work well on flooring and carpets.

While you might not get the same power—especially from the stick—that you’d get with other cordless stick vacuums, it does the trick for smaller homes and touch-up maintenance cleaning.

Mapping and the app are great

After just a few passes, the robot vacuum was able to map a small main living area that consists of a hallway, living room, dining room, and kitchen with plenty of obstructions in the way including objects, furniture, walls, and even a landing with a slight incline. It navigated everywhere with ease, intelligently turning away from rogue objects or furniture without bumping into them first, which is something we have seen other robot vacuums do from time to time.

The companion app is intuitive, showing an easy-to-read map of the home where you can rename rooms and select individual ones to clean, like just the kitchen after a spill or just the dining room after your dinner party. You can edit the map if you want to merge two rooms, for example, so it always cleans the kitchen and dining room together. Divide larger rooms, create no-go zones, and even indicate where there’s carpeting and the type of carpet to ensure optimized cleaning everywhere.

Check the charging status in the app, select modes, and even select zone cleaning, like under your toddler’s high chair after a meal. It’s also compatible with Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri, so you can control it with simple voice commands.

It expertly avoids objects

While the robot vacuum did pick up a rogue cable from the floor that we had to unwind from its roller brush, that was user error. In fairness, the instruction manual does clearly state to pick up cables before running the machine. So, you’re best to clear the area of cords before running a pass.

With that said, the robot vacuum nicely avoided smaller objects on the floor, like shoes and socks. Even when people were standing in its way, it re-routed to avoid slamming into human feet. It never once knocked into a wall or piece of furniture and navigated the best, most logical route back to its dock every time.

With a slight incline from the dining room to the kitchen that some other robot cleaners haven’t been able to scale, it did so with ease. Dare I say it performs just as well as some high-end iRobot Roomba options, including models we named among the best robot vacuums.

The robot vacuum operates ultra-quietly

The first thing we noticed with this robot vacuum is that even in Turbo mode, it’s quieter than most others, something we have observed with other Eufy robot vacuums as well, like the Eufy Robovac 11S and the Robovac 11+. This means you can easily run it in the background while you’re taking Zoom calls or even while watching TV without worrying that it will be too distracting.

It should be noted that it does also provide audible guidance, indicating if it’s charging or has run over an object and is not touching the floor. It’s both futuristic and useful.

Keep in mind that the robot vacuum is louder when emptying, but this is only a few seconds after each clean. In terms of operating sound, including with the cordless stick vacuum, you’ll appreciate that it’s fairly quiet.

What we don’t like

There’s no place to store the stick

Credit: Reviewed / Christine Persaud

The dock has a convenient storage compartment for the dust bag, and it recharges the robot vacuum when it automatically returns after cleaning. The crevice tool neatly fits into the top of the robot vacuum. However, when it comes to the cordless stick portion of this unit, there’s nowhere to put it.

The robot vacuum sits neatly on a dock, its removeable motor tucked inside. The dock has a convenient storage compartment for the dust bag, and it recharges the robot vacuum when it automatically returns after cleaning. The crevice tool even neatly fits into the top of the robot vacuum for storage.

However, when it comes to the cordless stick portion of this unit, there’s nowhere to put it. Eufy does offer an optional wall mount bracket that we wish came in the package. Otherwise, you need to either prop the cordless stick up against the wall beside the robot vacuum and its dock or toss it in a closet or cupboard to pull out as needed. If you plan to use it daily, we’d suggest investing in the bracket for a neater set-up.

The robot vacuum sometimes needs a few passes to get all the debris

Credit: Reviewed / Christine Persaud

After a big cereal spill, the robot vacuum missed several areas or just pushed around the larger (about one inch) cereal pieces.

The robot vacuum portion of the unit works comparably well compared to other top models from competing brands, navigating the home around obstacles and getting into every nook and cranny. However, with very dirty areas, it may take a few passes to everything.

After a big cereal spill (as luck would have it, it was legitimately accidental), the robot vacuum did its thing, chomping on the pieces like Pac-Man devouring its next meal. It did end up missing several areas or just pushed around the larger (about one inch) cereal pieces. Switching to Turbo mode and running it again sufficiently finished the job.

If you have a larger home, expect to need to run a few passes, with charges in between. With the scheduling tool in the app, however, you can set this to run while you’re away to return to freshly cleaned floors.

It does a decent job picking up debris like hair, which we littered on kitchen tiles and a living room carpet. It picked it all up with ease, though larger pieces did wrap around the roller brush. It’s not the best robot vacuum you’ll find for pet hair, but does a good enough job and is worth considering if you have a pet that doesn’t shed too much.

One thing worth noting is that the robot vacuum occasionally folded up the edges of a thin carpet runner, so it’s best to fix the edges to prevent this.

Stick vacuum isn’t as powerful as others

Credit: Reviewed / Christine Persaud

While the robot vacuum is wonderful, a tremendous value at half the price of some high-end competitive models, the cordless stick vacuum is sort of an afterthought.

As the saying goes, sometimes when a product (or person) can do more than one thing, it’s considered to be a jack of all trades but master of none. That’s sort of the case with this setup.

While the robot vacuum is wonderful, a tremendous value at half the price of some high-end competitive models, the cordless stick vacuum is sort of an afterthought. It doesn’t feel particularly durable and it isn’t as powerful as other dedicated cordless stick vacuums on the market. It’s perfect for quick clean-ups of moderately dirty surfaces, and we love that the handle is adjustable to accommodate differing heights.

It’s also easy to connect optional attachments for cleaning everything from carpets to baseboards, even take it out to the car. (We even used it with the crevice tool to clean crumbs from the top of a toaster.) But it doesn’t replace a more powerful stick vacuum, and won’t be powerful enough for households with pets that shed a lot.

With that said, if you can rely on the robot vacuum to do most of the heavy lifting, the cordless stick will suffice for touch-ups, daily passes through high-traffic areas like the hallway and kitchen, and tackling stairs, furniture, and blinds.

Just know that the cordless stick is a secondary feature to the primary robot vacuum set-up.

It uses replaceable bags

The one thing people dislike about traditional vacuums is the need to buy replacement bags. While the bag in the dock can hold up to about 75 days’ worth of dust and debris, it will need to be removed and replaced once it’s full, which means having a supply of bags on hand, at least three per year. This results in added costs for consumables. There are bundled purchase options, one of which includes three extra dust bags to get you through the first year.

Otherwise, you can find the bags in multi-packs to stock up and be set for a year or two at a time. But this recurring cost will be necessary for the span of time you own the vacuum. It’s wise to add at least one multi-pack to the initial purchase and keep track of inventory when you’re down to the last one so you can re-order through the life of the machine.

Warranty

The Eufy 3-in-1 E20 comes with a 12-month warranty when purchased from an authorized seller along with a 30-day money-back guarantee for any reason when you order it through Eufy.com or the Eufy Store on Amazon. If purchased from a local retailer, you can contact the retailer to learn about its refund policy. Typically, you will be asked to return the vacuum when submitting a warranty claim so that Eufy’s Quality Assurance team can analyze the defective product.

What owners are saying about the Eufy 3-in-1 E20

User comments about the Eufy 3-in-1 E20 generally express that shoppers are happy with its performance, including the versatility of the device, its effectiveness in picking up dust and debris, and intelligent mapping. We’re pulling these user reviews from the Eufy website, Amazon, and Best Buy.

Eufy store: With an aggregate 4.84 stars from buyers, they love that it’s easy to use, lightweight, and a breeze to set up. They appreciate the intelligent mapping and how you can conveniently clean just a specific room when desired, even setting no-go zones for areas with plants or delicate furniture, for example. They also love how efficiently it unloads dirt and debris into the bag once docked.
Amazon: With 4.2 stars, Amazon shoppers love this dual vacuum set-up. While some say it doesn’t work as well on carpets as hardwood floors and tiles, they love the mapping feature and how quiet it is, though they wish the emptying process was quieter. They appreciate the convenience of the cordless stick, which does a great job, but note that it doesn’t perform well for pet hair. Some feel the self-emptying doesn’t run long enough, resulting in not all the dirt and debris being picked up in every go. (There is, it should be noted, a deep dust collection option in the app that will suck up debris more powerfully, running both louder and longer).
Best Buy: Shoppers find the vacuum powerful, fast charging, convenient, and space-saving since it is essentially two vacuums in one. However, they’re not as pleased with the replaceable bags, which require additional ongoing purchases. They would prefer a dustbin that could be emptied and washed ins

Samsung had avoided OLED displays for many years, but when it started making them a few years ago, it quickly became clear that the mega home entertainment manufacturer should have done so long before. The subject of this TV review, the Samsung S95F 55-inch Class OLED 4K Vision AI Smart TV (2025) (available at Samsung for $2,299.00) , is Samsung’s latest flagship OLED TV, combining the best of the quantum dot tech that it pioneered with the advantages of OLED for an improved QD-OLED panel that's brighter and more vibrant than ever before. The result is an incredible-looking TV that makes a serious case for itself as the single best TV you can buy right now. However, with the latest and greatest technology comes a very high price tag—a minimum $2,300 high. Is the Samsung S95F worth that kind of cash? I checked out the 55-inch model to find out.

About the Samsung S95F 55-inch Class OLED 4K Vision AI Smart TV (2025)

The remote that comes with the TV isn't quite as premium-looking, but I still like it. It's compact and lightweight, offering all the basic software controls you need.

Resolution: 4K (3,840 x 2,160)
Display type: QD-OLED
HDR support: HDR10+, HDR10, HLG
Dolby Atmos: Yes
eARC support: Yes (HDMI 3)
Native refresh rate: 165Hz
Smart platform: Samsung Tizen
Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM): Yes
Variable Refresh Rate (VRR): Yes (up to 144Hz VRR on HDMI 1)
Processor: NQ4 AI Gen 3 Processor
ATSC 3.0 tuner: No
**Sizes available: 55”, 65”, 77”, 83”

The Samsung S95F comes in four different sizes, ranging from 55 inches at its smallest size to 83 inches at its largest. Keep in mind the 83-inch model is not actually a QD-OLED TV, but rather has a traditional OLED panel with no quantum dot layer. Prices start at $2,299.99 for the 55-inch model and range up to $6,499.99 for the 83-inch model.

What we like

A thin footprint and nice details make for a stunning design

TV manufacturers have been working on ways to slim down their displays, and I'm a huge fan of this trend. Samsung has done so through the One Connect box, which houses everything you would normally find inside a TV, except for the display panel itself.

The result is that the actual display panel of the Samsung S95F is slender and very premium-looking. Because I was only using the TV for a few weeks, I didn't mount it to the wall, but if you did mount it, you'd get an almost wallpaper-like experience.

To be clear, it looks excellent on the stand that it comes with, too. The super-thin design makes for a premium build. When you use the stand, the One Connect box sits on the back of the stand to allow for easy access to ports. When you mount the TV to the wall, you'll make use of a longer cable between the two components.

For more flexibility in the placement of the One Connect box, you could, for example, route that cable through the wall to give the TV a floating look, or you could simply put it inside a TV stand or route it into a drawer to keep cables away.

Rest assured, even if you keep the One Connect box visible, the single small cable that connects the TV to that box is subtle and minimalistic.

The premium build quality is further helped by details like tiny bezels and strong build materials. Just don't let those fool you into thinking that the TV can withstand abuse. You'll want at least one other friend to help you set up the TV, as it can flex relatively easily.

The One Connect box houses a solid selection of ports, including four HDMI ports, all of which support the HDMI 2.1 spec for modern tech, like variable refresh rates. You'll also get an optical port and three USB ports.

The remote that comes with the TV isn't quite as premium-looking, but I still like it. It's compact and lightweight, offering all the basic software controls you need, along with quick access buttons for Netflix, YouTube, Prime Video, and Samsung TV Plus. I found it easy to use.

It has a bright, vibrant image quality

Credit: Reviewed / Christian de Looper

When you’re looking at a TV like the Samsung S95F, the most important element is its image quality, and this one stands up to expectations.

The TV offers a QD-OLED panel, with one caveat—if you get the largest size, which is 83 inches, you'll get a traditional OLED panel instead. I'm reviewing the 55-inch model, and I suspect most customers will go for it or the 65-inch variant, so most will end up with a QD-OLED TV.

The basic gist of QD-OLED is that it leverages OLED technology for the ultra-deep black levels and infinite contrast and combines it with a layer of quantum dots to improve brightness and give colors a more vibrant look. It works well, and while traditionally OLED TVs have been a little dim, the Samsung S95F is excellently bright.

That huge peak brightness is useful for all kinds of content. When watching HDR content, you'll get dazzlingly vibrant highlights that help make images look more realistic, especially when coupled with that true black level that you'll get from OLED panels.

The OLED panel also means that the TV can effectively avoid issues like blooming, and these issues haven't been completely solved on even the best Mini-LED TVs. When watching SDR content, you'll have a great experience, too. Content looks vibrant and colorful, easy to see even in bright rooms.

Its coating makes it excellent at avoiding glare

No one enjoys seeing the reflection of their living room ceiling light superimposed over the action scenes in their favorite movie. With a bright panel, the TV is also very good at avoiding glare, helping make brightness pop even more. Samsung has given the S95F a matte anti-glare coating, which is good at avoiding reflections. This anti-glare coating was used on last year's S95D, but I am still surprised at how well it works, even after having tried both.

Essentially, the coating disperses light in a way that a glossy coating can't. That means that if you're having trouble with glare from things like lights or a window behind you with your current TV, the S95F will at least help minimize those problems.

Indeed, I tested the TV with a window directly behind me, and I commonly have issues with glare from that window. I found it to be a non-issue here. Sure, it didn't magically kill all light from the window, but I barely noticed reflections.

Gamers will love it

Credit: Reviewed / Christian de Looper

The Samsung S95F is an excellent gaming TV. Its HDMI ports support HDMI 2.1, so you'll be able to take full advantage of things like variable refresh rate (VRR) to avoid issues like screen tearing and stutter.

Speaking of refresh rate, this Samsung TV supports a 165Hz refresh rate, which makes it great for PC gaming too, and not just for use with consoles. I had an excellent experience gaming on the TV, although I would have liked to experience these games in Dolby Vision on the TV.

What we don't like

The cost will dent your wallet, even for the 55-inch

The Samsung S95F is one of the most high-tech TVs on the market today, and you'll have to pay big to put it in your home. The TV starts at $2,299.99 for the 55-inch model, ranging up to a lofty $6,499.99 for the 83-inch model.

Software does not go above and beyond

Credit: Reviewed / Christian de Looper

Samsung's Tizen operating system isn't bad, and it will allow you to access your favorite content from services like Netflix, Amazon Prime, and other streamers. That said, it can get cluttered.

I also found that it often jumped to live TV services that I wasn't trying to navigate to. The home screen can be complicated at times, and while it is nice that Samsung seems to be working on ways to discover new content, its approach results in an experience that will leave many users confused.

This isn't necessarily an issue that everyone will have to deal with, though. While I used the software for a while, I also used the TV with an Apple TV 4K, which I find to offer a much better software experience.

Thankfully, the TV does support smart features like Apple AirPlay 2, Google Chromecast, and even Apple HomeKit, so you can integrate it with your smart home if you want to.

You won’t get to experience Dolby Vision

Samsung continues to refuse to adopt Dolby Vision, and, at this point, I doubt it will ever make the switch.

Instead, the company is implementing its HDR10+ format. And while HDR10+ can look great, plenty of content only supports Dolby Vision—not HDR10+. So, you can often find that you're missing out on getting the full dynamic range experience, depending on what you're watching. I would love to see a Samsung QD-OLED TV with Dolby Vision support—but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Audio quality is lacking, so you’ll need an external sound system for deep bass

The speakers built into the Samsung S95F aren't bad, and they can get pretty loud. The bass response is fine, and I was able to hear dialogue decently well. But you won't get a very immersive experience, and it's still worth using an external sound system for actual deep bass and more detailed highs.

I was lucky enough to be able to test the Samsung S95F TV with Samsung's HW-Q990F soundbar, which offers one of the best audio experiences you can get. If you use it with one of these soundbars, the TV speakers can work with the soundbar to help improve audio and make dialogue clearer.

Should you buy the Samsung S95F 55-inch Class OLED 4K Vision AI Smart TV (2025)?

Yes, if you can afford it

If you take one thing away from this Samsung S95F review, let it be this: This is an incredible TV. Its high brightness means that HDR content looks stunning, and SDR content is easy to see even in brighter environments. Plus, it has a beautiful design and helpful gaming features.

As an alternative, the LG G5 OLED TV can get a little brighter, and some prefer LG's software, but the glossy coating means it doesn't handle reflections very well. Its build is also more than double Samsung’s S95F, because it has a more traditional TV design with everything built into it. In some environments, like darker rooms, the LG G5 OLED might be a better choice, especially for those who don't really care about design (and don't get me wrong, the G5 OLED still has a premium design).

All said, I think the vast majority of people should splurge for the Samsung S95F TV (available at Samsung for $2,299.00) , thanks to its anti-glare coating and its much sleeker and more stylish design, despite its high price tag.

Everything to know about lube: What it is and when you should use it

Wed, 02 Jul 2025 20:24:11 +0000

Products are chosen independently by our editors. Purchases made through our links may earn us a commission.

Lube isn’t just a way to handle dryness—it’s a way to turn good sex into great sex. It cuts down on unwanted friction, supports safer sex, and helps prevent irritation and microtears. It’s also a gamechanger for anal sex, masturbation, and marathon fucking of any kind.

However, not all lubes are created equal. From the frictionless slip of silicone to the easy cleanup of water-based formulas, the options are endless—and some are better suited to your body, toys, and safer sex practices than others. Use the right lube, and you barely notice it. Use the wrong one, and you might not notice until it’s too late.

In this guide, we’ll take you through what lube is, how to use it, what ingredients to avoid, and how to choose the right lube for your needs. It’s time to be slippery when you want to be, not just when you’re wet.

What exactly is a personal lubricant?

Personal lubricant, a.k.a. lube, is a water-, silicone-, or oil-based liquid or gel that you can use genitally and anally during sex or masturbation. Lube for sex generally means less unwanted friction and, as a result, a better time for everyone involved.

But the right lube—one that’s made of body-safe materials, and compatible with your safer sex practices, barriers, toys, and physiology—also supports safer sex and sexual health. Lube lowers the risk of vaginal and anal microtears, particularly during extended fucking or when using toys. It reduces the chance that a condom will break, which means it supports condoms in lowering the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and pregnancy.

And the wrong lube? Can increase the risk of irritation and therefore infection. It can even melt your sex toys.

Speaking of irritation, a personal lubricant is not a spermicidal lubricant. Spermicidal lubricant is a type of lube that includes a chemical, often nonoxynol-9, to stop sperm from reaching the egg.

It’s inserted vaginally before sex, and when used alone, is only roughly 79% effective as birth control. You can use it along with condoms or other birth control methods to reduce the chances of pregnancy. However, it does nothing whatsoever to reduce the risk of STIs, including HIV.

And, especially if you have sex frequently, it might even increase that risk by leading to vaginal irritation which can make tissues more susceptible to infection.

So, how do you know which personal lubricant to try? Read on for the types of lubes, common ingredients, and allergies, when to use it, how to use it, and top picks for the best lube for sex.

Common ingredients and types of lube for sex

Credit: Reviewed

There are four major types of personal lubricant: water-based, silicone-based, oil-based, and hybrid.

Not all lubes are created equal. The ingredients matter—so does what you’re doing, who you’re doing it with, and whether your toys are made of silicone or something else. That’s why it helps to know the four major types: water-based, silicone-based, oil-based, and hybrid. Each one has its strengths, drawbacks, and times to shine.

Water-based lubes: Water-based lubes are the most versatile and widely available. They’re compatible with condoms, dental dams, gloves, and all toys; easy to clean up; and come in a range of textures and ingredients. You can find everything from basic drugstore options to boutique blends with aloe or hyaluronic acid. The downside? They can dry out faster than other types, especially during extended fucking or in water. But a little reapplication brings them right back to life.

Silicone-based lubes: Silicone-based lubes are slick, long-lasting, and waterproof, making them perfect for shower or marathon sex (or both). They stay on the surface of the skin rather than absorbing, creating a frictionless glide. But silicone lubes aren’t compatible with silicone sex toys, take more effort to wash off, and can stain. They’re like the leather pants of lube: smooth, sexy, and sort of annoying to wear every day.

Oil-based lubes: Oil-based lubes, whether dedicated oil-based lube formulas or natural oils like coconut, olive, or jojoba oil, can be options when external massage will turn into something more. They are compatible with polyurethane barriers. However, oil-based lubes degrade latex and polyisoprene condoms (leading to pregnancy and STI risks) and stain your sheets, and can throw off vaginal pH and trap bacteria. Jojoba oil is also toxic when consumed orally, so if you use it, plan the order of operations accordingly.

Hybrid lubes: Hybrid lubes combine water and silicone to give you the best of both. They’re smoother and longer-lasting than water-based lubes, but still toy-friendlier and easier to clean than pure silicones. (It’s always a good idea to double-check the manufacturer’s notes for the specific individual lube and toy involved.) Hybrid lubes can also vary wildly, so review the ingredients and pH if you have sensitivities.

Sensitivities and allergies

Your genitals deserve even more care than the best of your body, especially given the mucous membranes involved. Some lubes for sex are formulated with gentle, body-safe ingredients. Others? Not so much. If you’ve ever felt burning, itching, or weirdness after trying a new lube, you weren’t imagining it. Certain additives can irritate, especially if you have a history of yeast infections, UTIs, or sensitive skin. Here’s what to watch out for:

Glycerin: Glycerin, a type of sugar alcohol, is fairly common in water-based lubes, but can also trigger yeast infections in people with vaginas. Some people do not experience issues with glycerin, but if you or your partner is prone to repeat yeast infections (or not sure), avoid it.

Parabens: Parabens are preservatives linked to skin irritation, hormonal disruptions, and even cancer.

Flavors and fragrances: I will die on this hill: Genitals should taste like genitals. Flavors and fragrances can make a product scare-quotes “fun” but tend to rely on synthetic ingredients that can lead to irritation and reactions. Choose unscented and unflavored options. If genitals have a strong smell even after thorough washing, consult a medical professional to rule out any underlying issues.

Menthol and warming agents: Any sort of tingling sensation from a lube is likely due to menthol or capsaicin. While these ingredients can increase blood flow, they can also increase burning sensations or inflammation, especially if your skin is already irritated, dry, or sensitive.

Nonoxynol-9: Found in spermicidal lubricant, nonoxynol might decrease the likelihood of sperm reaching the egg, but it increases your chances of irritation and, therefore, infection.

Propylene glycol: Propylene glycol is what creates the slippery texture in some water-based lubes. But it can cause stinging, itching, or a dry, tight feeling after sex, particularly in people with vulvas.

Chlorhexidine: Chlorhexidine is a harsh disinfectant that can disrupt the vaginal microbiome by killing off good bacteria, which can increase the risk of infection.

pH balance: When a lube has water in it, you can match its pH to that of the body part you intend to use it with to reduce irritation. (Because silicone lube doesn’t contain water, it doesn’t have a pH.) For instance, pre-menopausal vaginas tend to have a lower pH, while post-menopausal vaginas, and anuses, tend to have a higher pH.

Expiration dates and storage: Like any other body care product, lube expires. Water-based lubes typically last one to three years, silicone can stretch a bit longer, and your mileage may vary with oil. Expired lube may separate, change texture, go rancid, or harbor bacteria. If it smells weird or looks cloudy, toss it. Store lube somewhere cool, dark, and dry. And if you reach for it mid-sex, make sure to close, wash, and dry the bottle afterwards.

If you have sensitive skin or a vulva that reacts to everything, look for lubes for sex labeled hypoallergenic, gynecologist-tested, or specifically designed for sensitive skin. And patch-test new products on your inner arm or wrist, massaging them in and waiting 24 hours before trying them anywhere more intimate.

Consider using a personal lubricant when …

Lube isn’t just for “fixing” dryness—it’s a way to make sex and masturbation feel better, smoother, and more connected. Think of it as making a good thing better, rather than as a last resort.

Here’s when to consider using it:

During vaginal penetrative sex or masturbation, alone or partnered, since less friction means more pleasure.
During anal penetration, since the (healthy) asshole is not self-lubricating.
With sex toys, where a compatible lube cuts down on friction and increases sensation.
When having any type of sex for a long or enthusiastic time.
When using condoms, since extra lubrication can reduce breakage and increase sensation.
When using dental dams or gloves, for the same reason.
During perimenopause and menopause, or postpartum, when hormonal shifts can reduce natural wetness.
When taking certain medications, including some antidepressants, antihistamines, or hormonal birth control, which can cause dryness.

How and where to apply lube

How do you use lube for sex? Start with a little, see how it feels, and add more if you want. The goal is to reduce friction, but also not totally eliminate it.

With a condom: While many condoms are pre-lubricated, they are usually not sufficiently so. Add a few drops of water- or silicone-based lube inside of the tip before the wearer puts it on (skip this step if you’re putting it on a strap-on), and then more on the outside once it’s on. Just make sure that the lube is compatible with your condom material first.

Without a condom: Lube can go directly on the skin, toy(s), or body part(s) involved in the friction or penetration. Apply it wherever it’s needed.

With a dental dam: Apply lube only to the side of the dental dam that’s going against the receiver’s body. Double-check that the lube and dam materials are compatible first.

You can also reapply as needed. Friction, body heat, and absorption all wear lube down over time, and refreshing it can keep things comfortable and pleasurable. Keep the bottle within reach accordingly.

Lube substitutes: Can you use Vaseline, Aquaphor, or olive or coconut oil?

If you’re out of lube, it can be tempting to grab whatever’s around and hope for the best. Resist that urge. Not all household products are good as lubes, or for you.

Vaseline and Aquaphor: Vaseline and Aquaphor are petroleum-based, which makes them risky. They degrade latex condoms, can trap bacteria and lead to irritation, and increase the chance of infection. Among people with vaginas, using petroleum as a lube can make you more than twice as likely to test positive for bacterial vaginosis. They also take a long time to wash out, particularly from inside you.

Olive oil: Olive oil has “no known harmful effects for use as [a] lubricant,” according to one study. If you opt to try it, choose an olive oil with no additives or flavorings and remember that oil is not compatible with latex condoms.

Coconut oil: Coconut oil has some natural antimicrobial properties but can still disrupt vaginal pH. Also, it often comes in wide-mouth containers—which means that if you grab an open jar from your pantry in a sex emergency, you risk cross-contamination between your kitchen and bedroom.

… and best lubes for anal sex

The asshole does not self-lubricate (and if yours does, talk to your doctor, because it should not be doing that). This means lube for anal sex is a must. While lubes are largely interchangeable by body part, there are some slight differences: A good anal lube is thicker, so it lasts longer and acts like a cushion between the asshole and whatever is going into it. The anus also has a higher pH than the vagina, so with water-based lubes, choosing one with a higher pH can reduce the likelihood of irritation.

You can save up to $800 on best-selling pool cleaners from Aiper. Saving money and spending less time scrubbing? That’s what we call a win-win.

Leica Q (Typ 116) Digital Camera Review

Tue, 01 Jul 2025 20:33:49 +0000

Products are chosen independently by our editors. Purchases made through our links may earn us a commission.

Cameras, like most pieces of consumer tech, are built on compromise. Every camera, from the all-in-one camera modules in your smartphone to pro-level DSLRs, is built to satisfy certain needs at the expense of others. While not exactly a zero-sum game, building a camera with a pro-grade image sensor, lens, and physical controls often means building a camera that’s big, bulky, and—quite often—incredibly expensive.

We first reviewed the Leica Q (Typ 116) in August 2015. It is a near-pocketable camera that has a fantastic, full-frame image sensor, a gorgeous 28mm f/1.7 Summilux lens, and thoroughly modern features like 10fps burst speed, autofocus, 1080/60p video, and Wi-Fi. Unlike Leica’s M-series, the Q integrates both autofocus and autoexposure, like any other point-and-shoot.

This is a world-class point-and-shoot, and it excelled in nearly every performance test we threw at it. Its combination of features is a potent one, shredding through most typical shooting situations with ease.

In our still image tests, the Leica Q showed an expansive dynamic range approaching a full 13 stops at the base ISO of 100—nearly on par with the Nikon D810. The images offered the kind of warm look that you expect from Leica glass, though it still managed to offer clinical color accuracy in most shooting environments. This is in large part due to the exceptionally accurate white balance system, which nailed the color temperature of the scene in all but the warmest tungsten lighting.

What we liked

Its small size: Compared to most cameras of its time, this one is small but still manages to feature a 3-inch LCD, an EVF, a hot shoe, control dials for aperture/shutter speed/exposure compensation, a d-pad, and an AE/AF lock button.
A star lens: It features a beautiful 28mm f/1.7 Summilux lens. As with a DSLR, the lens feels like an equal partner here. Unlike most point-and-shoots, where the lens is merely one small piece of the puzzle, the Q’s lens is, without question, the star of the show.
Wi-Fi integration: Like several Leica cameras of its era, the Q comes packed with Wi-Fi and NFC. This lets you use your smartphone as a remote viewfinder and control while also allowing you to shuttle photos right from the camera to your phone.

What we didn’t like

Video abilities are weaker than the competition: The maximum resolution of 1080p limited peak resolution to right around 650 line pairs per picture height—about half as sharp as 4K-capable cameras.

Can you still buy the Leica Q (Typ 116) new?

No, unfortunately, new models of the Leica Q (Typ 116) are no longer available on the market. However, you can absolutely find this Leica used on reputable camera gear sites.

If you love photography and want to take your passion beyond what's possible when snapping shots with your smartphone, investing in a used camera is a great way to go. A well-maintained used camera often comes with everything you need to start the next stage of your journey into photography at a fraction of the cost of a new camera body and glass.

Buying your first camera can be intimidating: There are so many different options out there, with prices as varied as the number of lenses and accessories available to equip them with. But, with a little bit of knowledge of what to look for (and what to stay away from), you'll gain the confidence you need to make a smart purchase.

Buying a used model of the Leica Q (Typ 116)

Its original price was over $4,000, meaning it isn’t for everyone. However, if you’re shopping around now for a used model, you should expect to pay around $2,500, which is a 38% discount on a 10-year-old camera.

While it’s pricer than many other options, a Leica Q (Typ 116) is a great used camera to invest in. It’s a full-frame 24.2 megapixel effective resolution camera with a digital viewfinder and touch display.

It comes with a fixed lens, so there’s no need to wonder about which to invest in, and it does a beautiful job when used in automatic mode.

As your skills grow, you can use the Q’s manual controls and customize its easy-to-use interface. It’s a great camera to grow into, with a size that sits between a point-and-shoot and a full-sized mirrorless DSLR.

The Best Ventless Dryers of 2025

Fri, 27 Jun 2025 20:42:44 +0000

Products are chosen independently by our editors. Purchases made through our links may earn us a commission.

People don’t generally buy a ventless dryer just for fun—it’s usually a necessity. Maybe there’s no vent hookup in sight. Maybe they’re living in a tiny apartment, condo, or camper, where space is tighter than a carry-on bag. Or maybe they just want a more energy-efficient way to dry their laundry.

The best ventless dryers squeeze into places a standard-size washer-and-dryer could never fit, work without a vent, and use way less energy in the process. That said, they won’t dry your laundry as fast as a full-size dryer, and they tend to cost more thanks to the extra engineering behind their vent-free design.

If you want full laundry capabilities in a ventless situation, you can look for a washer-dryer combo unit(our favorite is on this list), but if you’ve already got the washer covered, we’ve tested some of the best compact ventless dryers to help you buy the right one.

Best Ventless Dryer Overall

Beko HPD24414W

Conservation of space meets conservation of energy in this exceptional ventless dryer. In our tests, the Beko HPD24414W scored the highest of any ventless dryer we’ve tested. It’s both effective and extremely efficient—vastly more so than a regular dryer, even winning Energy Star’s Most Efficient award for 2023.

Like other ventless dryers, this compact machine can be installed in places without an exhaust vent. It dries using a heat pump. Condensation is trapped in a reservoir, and then that water is repurposed for the dryer’s steam mode—which de-wrinkles or sanitizes.

These high-end features wouldn’t mean much without good basic performance. Thankfully, the Beko HPD24414W’s cycle performance is strong, with a wide range of cycles and lots of options for customization. As with all ventless dryers, it will take much longer than a traditional vented dryer to get your clothes bone dry, but we did find that it’s capable of this.

Whether you live in a tiny apartment and want real laundry machines in a small space, or you’re committed to conserving resources, this space-saver is the best ventless dryer for most people and a great investment.

Best Ventless Washer-Dryer Combo

GE Profile PFQ97HSPVDS Ventless All-In-One

Dimensions: 46.70” x 28” x 32” (H x W x D)
Capacity: 4.8-cubic-foot capacity
Finishes: Carbon graphite
Special features: Ventless washer-dryer combo unit, heat pump, large drum, steam, Microban drum coating, auto smart dispenser, app support
Matching washer: N/A
Energy Star rated: Yes

The GE Profile PFQ97HSPVDS washer-dryer combo is an excellent all-in-one machine that's a full-size ventless model, not a compact ventless model. This larger size gives it a much higher capacity and lower cycle times than other units on this list, and its two-in-one design can help save space over having separate units for washing and drying.

Not only is this design convenient, it's effective. Both its stain-scrubbing ability and drying power are above average for a ventless machine. Even though it struggled in our testing to dry a comforter completely on its Bulky cycle, once we enabled its More Dry option it was able to get out significantly more water.

If we were to separate the PFQ97HSPVDS's functionality, it would rank in our top 10 best overall washers and among our top 20 dryers. It's one of the best washer-dryer combos we’ve tested to date, and an excellent option for those looking for a ventless dryer.

Capacity: 4.1 cu. ft.
Finishes: White
Special features: Sanitize
Matching washer: GE GFW148SSMWW
Energy Star rated: Yes

If you’re in the market for a compact ventless dryer, and are struggling with space, the GE GFT14ESSMWW may be the perfect fit.

This 4.1-cubic-foot dryer managed to put up some solid performance numbers on our drying tests, and finished cycles with mostly-dry laundry. Cycles do take slightly longer than average, and the GFT14ESSMWW does sometimes run hot, but it's difficult to argue with the end result: Almost completely dry laundry, every cycle.

Where the GE GFT14ESSMWW really stands out, however, is in its value. Other top-performing ventless dryers are significantly more expensive than the GFT14ESSMWW. Its lower price point, coupled with an above average performance, makes the GFT14ESSMWW one of the better entry points for those looking to try out a ventless dryer.

The Best Washer-Dryer Combos of 2025

Products are chosen independently by our editors. Purchases made through our links may earn us a commission.

Washing machines and dryers have been part of American life for more than a century, and we’ve come to generally prefer the washing and drying capabilities of separate machines over the combo units popular in Europe. However, a washer-dryer combo is much more efficient and space-saving—no load transfers required.

Thankfully, several manufacturers now make a washer-dryer combo that meets all our laundry expectations. So, if you’ve ever used an all-in-one washer-dryer in Europe or the UK and complained that clothes didn’t get clean or dry, you can shop this list with newfound wonder, because none of these machines have that problem!

What’s even better? Most of these all-in-one washer-dryer combos are ventless so they can go just about anywhere a water hook-up is available. Most combos run on 110V power, and use condenser or heat-pump system that dries your laundry without requiring an outside vent, so if you don’t have room for a laundry center or can’t install a dryer vent, you can still consider one of these combo units.

To help you find the best washer-dryer combo, we’ve tested and researched all the latest models. Our stand-out favorite so far is the GE Profile PFQ97HSPVDS Ventless All-In-One (available at Lowe's for $2,248.00) for its efficiency and large capacity.

GE Profile PFQ97HSPVDS Ventless All-In-One

Dimensions: 46.70” x 28” x 32” (H x W x D)
Capacity: 4.8 cu. ft.
Finishes: Carbon graphite
Special Features: heat pump, large drum, steam, Microban drum coating, auto smart dispenser, app control, downloadable cycles
Energy Star rated: Yes

One of the first full-size combo units to hit the US market, the GE Profile PFQ97HSPVDS is a large heat pump washer-dryer combo that impressed us in lab testing with solid wash and dry performance, remarkable efficiency, and a user-friendly design. While its price tag is at the high end of many washer-dryer sets, its heat pump delivers efficient drying cycles that will save you both energy and money over the long term.

The benefits of the GE PFQ97HSPVDS don’t stop with efficiency. It houses a 4.8-cubic-foot capacity in the large Microban-primed, mold-resistant drum—double the amount of space provided by many of the washer-dryer combos previously available.

This large capacity is especially useful in a washer-dryer combo unit since this type of machine works best when filled only about halfway, meaning the GE PFQ97HSPVDS is capable of handling at least twice the load size of its smaller competitors. Just note, with an above-average height of 46.7 inches, this unit might not fit under counters quite as well as others on this list.

Wi-Fi connectivity and smart features like a smart dispenser for detergent, anti-wrinkle steam drying, and downloadable cycles, make this versatile machine even easier to use. The SmartHQ app will keep your unit connected and updated, which includes over-the-air updates for future machine upgrades.

With a five-year limited warranty on the drying system and a 10-year limited warranty on the motor, we think this high-end combo is a winner. It’s expensive, but if you’re looking for an efficient, ventless system that can wash and dry in one, the GE PFQ97HSPVDS has an impressive feature set.

Dimensions: 33.25” x 23.44” x 25.63” (H x W x D)
Capacity: 2.4 cu. ft.
Finishes: White
Special Features: Auto Load Sensing, steam wash, sanitize
Energy Star rated: No

The GE GFQ14ESSNWW is perfectly sized to hide under a kitchen counter, and reliable enough to live with for years. While it is on the petite side, it’s a remarkable washer-dryer combo unit perfectly targeted for the average user.

It features 2.4 cubic feet of capacity, enough to clean and dry a good week’s worth of T-shirts. While its condenser isn’t a heat pump, it does a good job at moderate-sized loads, especially if you don’t fill the drum entirely. Fourteen cycles ensure you’ll have the right setting for each load.

The machine also has a few tricks up its sleeve, like steam mode for sanitizing and wrinkle control. It also features an auto dispenser that releases detergent at the right moment. Thousands of owner reviews rank this washer-dryer one of the best in its category, and it comes with a one-year limited warranty for the entire appliance.

Capacity: 5.3 cu. ft.
Finishes: Dark steel
Special Features: AI OptiWash & Dry, Super Speed wash and dry, AutoDispense detergent, app control, vented dryer
Energy Star rated: Yes

The Samsung WD90F53AVS Bespoke AI Laundry Vented All-in-One is an ultra-capacity washer and electric dryer with AI Home. This is one of the largest all-in-one washer-dryer combos available and embodies laundry simplification. Unlike most combo units, this one harnesses the power of a traditional vented dryer, which is how it can perform so quickly: With a 5.3-cubic-foot capacity, it can complete a full wash and dry cycle in just 68 minutes when using the Super Speed cycle on a standard 10-pound load.

The WD90F53AVS’s vented drying system uses a heater and fan to ensure quick and effective drying, and the Auto Open Door feature helps remove residual moisture after drying to keep the drum and contents fresh.

This combo unit also includes advanced features like the AI Opti Wash & Dry, which automatically senses soil levels and fabric types for customized cleaning. The Flex Auto Dispense System can store and automatically dispense detergent and softener for dozens of loads.

The WD90F53AVS also features a user-friendly 7-inch AI Home LCD touchscreen. Samsung’s Vibration Reduction Technology minimizes noise, making this machine suitable for home environments where quiet operation is a priority. Altogether, the Bespoke AI Laundry All-in-One combines speed, intelligence, and convenience in one of the largest and most advanced vented washer-dryer combos available.

Summer is prime time for transforming your outdoor space, and if you’ve been dreaming of a backyard that feels more like a resort, a motorized pergola might be the smartest upgrade you can make. With clean lines, remote control louvers, and built-in drainage, FlexPatio’s new POWER+ Pergola Kit delivers serious function with sleek, modern style—no contractor required.

It’s a solid investment for anyone who spends their summers outdoors, but before you buy a pergola, you’ll want to read on to understand what features actually make this one in particular well worth the splurge.

What is FlexPatio?

FlexPatio is a modern outdoor brand focused on building smarter, more livable outdoor living spaces. Their mission? Give homeowners the tools to turn a simple backyard into a high-design hangout without hiring a full construction crew. Their flagship product, the POWER+ Pergola Kit, is built for DIY installation and engineered to look clean, minimal, and custom-built once it’s up.

What is the point of a FlexPatio motorized pergola?

Credit: Reviewed / FlexPatio

Think of it as your all-weather backyard command center. A motorized louvered pergola lets you adjust the angle of your pergola slats with a remote so you get more shade when the sun’s beating down, more airflow when it’s hot and stuffy, and quick rain protection when surprise showers roll in. It’s a game-changer for anyone who’s spent too many barbecues dragging furniture out of the sun or watching the weather app like a hawk.

If you’re collecting outdoor living space ideas for your next project, this one should be high on your list.

What makes the POWER+ Pergola Kit unique?

FlexPatio’s POWER+ is the kind of elevated feature that instantly makes your outdoor living space look more expensive. Its design is intentionally sleek and streamlined, with a hidden built-in motor, discreet gutter system, and adjustable louvers that rotate 110 degrees for customized protection against the elements. The powder-coated aluminum finish resists corrosion and fading, and the whole setup is designed for easy assembly. It also holds up to 800 lbs of snow load, meaning you don’t have to take it all down once winter comes.

How much does a motorized pergola cost from FlexPatio?

FlexPatio’s POWER+ kits start at $4,999 for a 10' x 10' size—far below what you’d typically pay for a custom motorized retractable pergola canopy. But right now, new customers get rare discount opportunities and bonuses to get it for even less.

As part of their launch promotion, FlexPatio is offering $1,000 off and priority production and delivery to the first 50 customers who use code GRAB1000NOW. New email subscribers can score an additional $500 coupon (code: START500) just for signing up. Or, if you’re the type who loves to show off your backyard upgrades, you can earn up to $500 by sharing a video of your installed pergola—just contact FlexPatio by email after purchase to claim your bonus.

Between the pricing, perks, and potential cash back, the POWER+ Kit is one of the smartest ways to elevate your outdoor setup this season.

10 plus-size bathing suits to absolutely rock this summer

Thu, 26 Jun 2025 22:31:31 +0000

Products are chosen independently by our editors. Purchases made through our links may earn us a commission.

As a plus-sized woman, I understand the struggle of shopping for bathing suits. For the longest time, swimwear options for different body types were very limited. Fortunately, many brands are finally starting to expand to be more size-inclusive.

Amazon Prime Day is the best time to shop for amazing deals, but the mega online retailer has another little-known secret to scoring great deals all year-round. With Amazon's Prime Lightning Deals aka Limited Time Deals, you can get rare savings on tech, cookware, beauty products, and so much more.

Shopping Amazon’s Lightning Deals during Prime Week can help you save the most on the things you need. Below, we’ll unpack everything you need to know about these offers and show you how to find lightning deals on Amazon so you can save the most during Prime Day 2025.

What is an Amazon Lightning Deal?

An Amazon Lightning Deal is a time-sensitive promotional price. Lightning Deals typically only last for a few hours and are only available in limited stock quantities—as soon as the inventory sells out, the savings expire.

These time-sensitive discounts are often exclusive to Amazon Prime shoppers, so you’ll want to sign up for a Prime membership before attempting to shop any Lightning Deals during Prime Day.

What kinds of products are Lightning Deals?

Amazon Lightning Deals can be available on products across all categories. Last year during Prime Day 2024, we saw some of the best Lightning Deals on tech and home essentials, including robotic pool cleaners, wireless earbuds, ice machines, and more.

This year, we’re hoping to see savings on Kindles, robot vacuums, and Legos.

Are Amazon Lightning Deals worth it?

Amazon Lightning Deals are absolutely worth it if you’re looking to save money, which, in this economy, who isn’t?

Lightning Deals offer shoppers a unique opportunity to save big bucks on products that aren't always discounted. During the summer season, Amazon’s Prime Day 2025 sale can help you save on new tech, home appliances, and more.

How to find Lightning Deals on Amazon?

Credit: Reviewed / Amazon

Amazon Lightning Deals are listed on Amazon's daily deals page.

To find Lightning Deals, look for items marked as a "Limited time deal" or scroll across the top nav bar until you find the button that says Lightning Deals, and click it.

To find the best Lightning Deals this Prime Day, you'll want to look for any items available at significant savings—price cuts of 50% or more are usually worth the buy!

How do Amazon Lightning Deals work?

Amazon Lightning Deals are available for a limited time and in super limited quantities. Shopping Amazon Lightning Deals works the same as shopping any other deal at Amazon—simply add the item you wish to purchase to your Amazon cart and head to checkout.

The key to shopping Amazon Lightning Deals is to be fast, because these discounts are hard to find and sell out quickly.

How long do Amazon Lightning Deals last?

Amazon’s time-sensitive Lightning Deals can be available for anywhere from two to 12 hours. Deals expire when the promotion period for the deal ends or all deals are claimed.

Amazon Lightning Deals vs. Prime Exclusive Deals vs. Invite-Only Deals

What is the difference between Lightning Deals and Prime Exclusive deals?

The biggest difference between Amazon Lightning Deals and Prime Exclusive deals is that Lightning Deals are available for all shoppers, while Prime Exclusive deals are only live for short periods, and in reduced quantities.

What are Prime Invite-Only Deals?

During certain sales, Amazon offers Prime Invite-Only Deals to Amazon Prime members. Members can request an invite to purchase products offered with these exclusive deals.

To find Invite-Only deals, view the Deals page. Prime members can request invites through an Invite-Only Deal product page. If you are invited to purchase the product, you’ll receive an email or push notification to your account.

There is a limited number of Invite-Only Deals, and customers are limited to one invite request per item.

Do I need to be an Amazon Prime member to shop Lightning Deals?

Technically, all shoppers can take advantage of Amazon Lightning Deals throughout the year, but Amazon Prime members can get their hands on deals earlier than everyone else.

On Amazon Prime Day specifically, all Lightning Deals are exclusive to Prime members. That means you'll want to sign up for Amazon Prime now to take advantage of the best Prime Day discounts.

The 8 best places to buy kids' bathing suits

Thu, 26 Jun 2025 17:43:29 +0000

Products are chosen independently by our editors. Purchases made through our links may earn us a commission.

Summer is just around the corner, and you know what that means: plenty of time spent at the beach, pool, or running through the sprinkler—all activities that require wearing a bathing suit. Chances are the swimsuits your kids wore last summer are too small, totally stretched out, or completely devoid of elastic. Don't let the first truly hot day of the season catch you unprepared. Nab some cute bathing suits now while there's still plenty of selection, and stock your kids' closets with a veritable wardrobe of swimwear.

Not sure where to start? We've rounded up eight of our absolute favorite places to buy kids' swimsuits—and shared our top style picks.

1. J.Crew

Credit: J.Crew

J.Crew has a great selection of long-sleeved swimsuits for kids.

Our favorites: Girls' rash guard one-piece—$32.50 and Boys' baseball rash guard—$22.50

Price: $$

Sizes: 2-16

Return/Exchange Policy: 30 days

If you have not yet discovered the glory of putting kids in long sleeve swimsuits and rash guards, let me be the one to tell you that it will make your life so much easier by cutting down on the amount of sunscreen you have to slather on their bodies. J.Crew excels at the selection of long sleeve swimwear, and they come in colorful, whimsical prints that my own kids love. Stock up during one of their sales, so that you always have plenty of cute swimsuits on hand for all of your summer activities.

Shop J.Crew swimsuits

2. Maisonette

Credit: Maisonette

Maisonette is one of my favorite places to shop for unique clothes.

Our favorites: Girls blue gingham rash guard one piece—$68

Price: $$$

Sizes: 2-10

Return/Exchange Policy: 14 days

As previously reported, I'm a sucker for everything Maisonette, and their kids' swimwear is no exception. The retailer's swimsuits are super chic with gorgeous prints on long-sleeve one pieces and rash guards. It's also some of the most durable swimwear I've ever purchased, so if you want something that will last all summer long—and possibly into next year—you can't go wrong with a few of their suits.

Shop Maisonette swimsuits

3. Minnow

Credit: Minnow

Minnow's bathing suits feature muted colors and classic cuts.

Our favorites: Girls antique floral rashguard one piece—$66 and Unisex peri blue rash guard—$54

Price: $$$

Sizes: 1-12

Return/Exchange Policy: 30 days

For swimwear that's classy enough for a mansion in Newport or a day at the yacht club, you can't beat Minnow. The muted colors and charming designs are flattering on babies and big kids alike, and the well-made suits hold up to even the most rambunctious beach goer.

Shop Minnow swimsuits

4. Boden

Credit: Boden

Boden's bathing suits are great quality and last a long time.

Our favorites: Boys swim shorts—$32 and Girls cross-back printed swimsuit—$28 Price: $$

Sizes: 2-12

Return/Exchange Policy: 3 months

Boden's apparel for kids is incredibly well-made—it's a British company—and their swimsuits are no exception. My kids have gotten a year's worth of really hard wear out of their Boden swimsuits, and they could've worn them for longer if they hadn't grown so much between seasons. One thing to note is that sizing runs big, so buy a smaller size than you normally would to ensure a proper fit.

Shop Boden swimsuits

5. Amazon

Credit: Amazon

These full-body suits are great for kids who hate sunscreen.

Our favorite: Color-block one piece swimsuit—from $27.99

Price: $-$$

Sizes: 2-8

Return/Exchange Policy: 30 days

If you have a kid who simply refuses sunscreen of any kind, you need a full piece swimsuit that they can just step into and zip up. These unisex full-body swimsuits are easy to put on and take off, and especially practical for long days spent at the beach or the pool. The wetsuit-like design keeps sand from getting into bathing suit bottoms, so they're great for kids who boogie board.

Shop Idopip swimsuits at Amazon

6. Nordstrom

Credit: Nordstrom

Nordstrom almost always has a great selection of bathing suits for kids.

Our favorites: Girls' long sleeve two piece rash guard swimsuit—$42 and Boys' two piece rash guard swimsuit—$64

Price: $$

Sizes: 2-8

Return/Exchange Policy: Open ended

For a selection of children's swimsuits that are high quality as well as fashion forward, you can't go wrong with Nordstrom. I'm especially partial to their in-house kids line, Tucker + Tate, because it's reasonably priced and the patterns are cute, but their site has a great selection of swimsuits to fit kids of all ages and personalities.

Shop Nordstrom swimsuits

7. Target

Credit: Target

Target is a great place to shop for affordable swimsuits.

Our favorites: Boys' ombre swim shorts—$13 and Girls' retro rash guard one piece swimsuit—$20

Price: $

Sizes: XS - XL

Return/Exchange Policy: 90 days

What parent doesn't love Target?! You can purchase everything you need from there—including super cute budget-friendly swimsuits for your kids. Target always have a great selection of suits in all sorts of colors and patterns, so even the choosiest kid should be able to find something they like.

Shop Target swimsuits

8. Tom and Teddy

Birdfy Bath Pro Smart Bird Bath with Camera Review

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 16:24:21 +0000

Products are chosen independently by our editors. Purchases made through our links may earn us a commission.

Anyone with a love for birds will adore this unique birdwatching gadget from Birdfy. Like the smart birdfeeders before it, the Birdfy Bath Pro Smart Bird Bath with Camera (available at Amazon) is equipped with two lenses to capture videos of birds that may alight in its basin for a cool dip. It can also identify the birds for you through its AI capabilities. However, does it carry through on its promises? After all, it costs nearly $300. We had a mixed experience, and not a single bird visited over the course of one month. Here’s what happened. …

About the Birdfy Bath Pro Smart Bird Bath with Camera

Credit: Reviewed / Leigh Harrington

Birdfy Bath Pro adorable fountain provides atmosphere in your backyard.

Specifications

Color: Blue, off-white
Dimensions: 16 inches x 30 inches
Water capacity: 3.5 liters
Camera resolution: Wide-angle lens 2MP & 1080p; portrait lens 3MP and 2K
Waterproof: Yes, IP66-rated
Solar power: Yes

The Birdfy Bath Pro Smart Bird Bath with Camera is like a traditional bird bath, but fit with a camera. It comes in two colors, has a dual-camera that detects motion, and offers AI bird identification, depending on your subscription to the app.

What we like

It looks cute

With its adorable robin’s egg blue color, this bird bath fits seamlessly into the natural setting of the garden or yard without calling attention to itself, although it does have a modern aesthetic. It boasts an adjustable height that you can modify up to about 30 inches.

Its perfectly round shape makes a great splash pad for backyard birds, especially with its central fountain, which comes with several different caps you can interchange for different spray patterns.

It’s solar powered

Credit: Reviewed / Leigh Harrington

The Birdfy Bath Pro features two solar panels: one for the camera and one for the fountain.

Once you initially charge the camera battery out of the box, you will never have to again, thanks to the integrated solar panel. It sits right atop the camera for full sun exposure and keeps the camera charged right up.

Additionally, the fountain has its own solar panel to keep it circulating water during daylight hours.

The fountain adds atmosphere to your backyard

Nothing is more serene than the sound of trickling water. Pair that with a shooting spray of water, and you’ve got some seriously relaxing vibes happening. As we mentioned previously, the Birdfy bath comes with several caps so you can switch up the spray pattern.

But this fountain isn’t just to improve the mood—it keeps the bird bath’s water circulating, which prevents the buildup of mold and algae, and leaves from settling onto the bottom.

Camera is tops

Credit: Reviewed / Leigh Harrington

Birdfy Bath Pro's camera automatically captures video when triggered by motion. However, you can use the app to watch live, record live, and capture photo snapshots.

The camera that fulfills the “smart” part of Birdfy’s bird bath features a dual-lens front camera with a wide-angle lens and a portrait lens. This means that when motion kicks the camera on, it captures the bird bath and surroundings from multiple angles. Both cameras are high-definition and offer excellent detail, even at night.

It automatically captures video when triggered by motion. However, you can use the app to watch live, record live, and capture photo snapshots.

To boot, the camera has an IP66 waterproof rating, which indicates it can be outdoors and withstand powerful streams of water (including from a hose), but not submersion.

What we don’t like

It loses water easily

Credit: Reviewed / Leigh Harrington

The basin of the Birdfy Bath Pro is 16 inches in diameter

The circular bowl of the bird bath measures 16 inches across and is slightly more than an inch and a half deep—that’s shallow, but not shallow. The basin also has a lip all the way around to prevent water from running out.

However, on multiple occasions over the course of testing, we have found that the water inexplicably leaks out. We have to attribute this to the fountain spray, because the underside of the basin does not leak—and we’ve checked.

We’ve tried a few tactics to see if we could stop this from happening—leveling the base, although it was close already, changing the cap to change the spray formation—but it continues to leak water. This may not be a problem for you if you’re in the yard daily to refill it, but for us, it was a hassle to unwind our hose, stretch it across the lawn, and fill it up every morning.

Birds don’t seem to like it

We’ve had the Birdfy Bath out in the garden for about one month, in early summer. During this time, we’ve not had a single bird stop by for a water break. We’ll give context that our yard is loaded with bird feeders and a dozen or more varieties of backyard birds.

Why don’t the birds seem to want to take a plunge? We have no idea.

Motion detection is overly sensitive

Despite the absence of birds using the Birdfy Bath, its cameras send notifications to our phone multiple times daily. Sometimes it’s a car driving by or a person in the yard, sometimes it's a flower waving in the wind, sometimes it’s unclear what set off the motion detection, even in the middle of the night.

If you don’t mind the pings, this shouldn’t be a problem. But if you do, we can’t find a way to shut them off or tone it down without disallowing it for the app entirely.

AI features

The Birdfy Bath Pro uses AI recognition algorithm to identify the birds that come to bathe. Since we haven’t yet had a bird visit, we can’t comment on its capabilities. However, it’s the same one it uses for its Netvue Birdfy Feeder, which we have tested and found to give hit-or-miss results. We will update this review when we can discuss the most up-to-date version of its AI ID software.

What owners are saying

The Birdfy Bath is a new product, so there just aren’t many people talking about it yet. We managed to find a few owner reviews at retailers.

Amazon: AWIldBirdLover gives the Birdfy Bath 5 stars and says, “Birdfy continues to lead in bird-focused camera technology, and this bird bath is a perfect example of their innovation. It is thoughtfully designed with a shallow basin and a center solar-powered fountain that includes a built-in filter to prevent clogging. The fountain automatically shuts off when the water level gets too low, which helps protect the motor. A quick tip: Birds tend to be wary of baths where they cannot see the bottom. Since the inside of this bath is all one color, consider placing a few rocks inside, with at least one peeking above the water. This helps them gauge the depth and feel more secure.” We’ll have to try that.
Best Buy: Best Buy sells the Birdfy, but it has no customer reviews yet.

Should You Buy the Birdfy Bath Pro Smart Bird Bath with Camera

Maybe

Credit: Reviewed / Leigh Harrington

For us—middle-aged and loving a good birdwatching hobby—the prospect of capturing a little birdie splash around up close counters the Birdfy Bath Pro’s negatives, which are just nuisances. Only if a bird were brave enough to use it. The price point of the Birdfy Bath Pro (available at Amazon) retails for $300 (although it's often on sale), so if you don’t like upwards of 25 phone notifications daily that probably don’t involve birds, then this might be too steep a price to pay. In our experience so far, there’s little reward, and we all love a reward. Disappointing. But we can say from our experience with smart bird feeders that when the birds do finally come to bathe, it’s totally worth it.
