If you’re a pet owner, you’ve probably had your fair share of trial and error when trying to find the right product for your pet to drink water from.

The Netgear Nighthawk RS600 strikes a balance between affordability and performance in the expanding world of Wi-Fi 7 routers. Priced at A$799, it admittedly sits on the higher end of standalone routers, before delving into premium mesh systems that exceed $800. That being said, the enhanced performance can handle more connected devices and provide much…

If you’ve ever been into a tech store to look for a charger for your devices, be it phones, tablets or laptops, I don’t blame you for being lost in the sheer amount of options.

Going the classic route for Valentine’s Day doesn’t just mean a nice dinner out anymore. You’re going to have to get that special someone (assuming that’s how you’re spending the day) a gift for tradition’s sake, and you’re going to be flooded with ideas left, right and centre in the lead-up to one of the…

Was Google’s decision to offer two Pro models in 2024 excessive or a sign of confidence? I’m going with the latter. As a smartphone manufacturer, Google has historically been running in third place. Samsung has been quicker and slicker with the Galaxy models for years, and Apple still offers the most seamless OS experience. Then…

I’ve become increasingly impressed by how tight and efficient Apple’s ecosystem has been over the past few years. Accusations about a lack of innovation ring true, but the pressure to provide something new every time isn’t always the right path in the tech world. I’ve come to understand that true progress is all about refinement;…

When you live in Australia, summer means long, hot days, backyard BBQs, and—if you’re lucky—a dip in the pool to escape the heat. But if you’ve got a pool, you also know the struggle: leaves, bugs, and who-knows-what floating on the surface. That pool net is a daily demand, and it takes up a lot…

iRobot has always been the leader in robot vacuuming and mopping. The original is back to show the overly crowded marketplace just how well it can be done with the new Combo 10 Max. The all-in-one device has a dock that stores a vacuum bag, and clean and dirty water, while also being able to…

There’s nothing like the convenience of thinking something, saying something and seeing it done – “Alexa, dim the lights” or “Hey Google, turn on the air con”– but there is also the reasonable concern about whether other people can control your smart home too. Famously, a South Park episode did just that, adding all sorts…

Pizza ovens have been a leading category for a few years now. Just look on Google and you’ll find that plenty of brands have entered the market to meet demand. But Gozney started the whole hype with the excellent (and remarkably portable) Roccbox. Expanding the range has been a regular thing since then, with some…

The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) lit up the tech world this week with its huge slay of announcements, reveals and prototypes for what can only be described as the future of the industry.

We’ve had the pleasure of reviewing several Anker products over the years, including the Anker Prime 250W charger, which is still at my desk, and their 10,000 mAh 30W Power Bank, which I had used up until this particular review.

Sleek, beautifully designed, and highly functional, the Google Pixel Watch 3 represents a major change for the mega-company’s smart device ecosystem.

Everyone knows the UE speakers as soon as they see them now. I don’t think there’s a sharehouse in Australia that doesn’t have at least two of these sitting around the lounge room, always ready to blast some Fred Again when the mood strikes. Such familiarity also leads to complacency at times. It’d be just…

Santa’s state-sanctioned home invasions are just around the corner. The big ball of joy is going to be squeezing down your chimney in just a few weeks, but you don’t want him to spot a sad, empty Christmas tree when he makes it down, do you? Trees that shadow dozens upon dozens of wrapped presents,…
