Arlo Pro 4 review: Uncompromised security, at a price
24/7 peace of mind with a 6-month battery life
Between initial hardware costs and monthly subscriptions, smart home security can get pretty pricey. While there’s no shortage of great bang-for-your-buck budget options available, more premium devices often have hardware and software improvements that make them well worth the buy for those of us wanting a more user-friendly experience. With a $200 price tag, the Arlo Pro 4 definitely bills itself as premium, and has the slick styling and powerful hardware to back it up.
How to share your Amazon Prime account with your family
Make the most of your Prime membership by adding the whole family
As a dedicated Amazon shopper, a Prime membership is the cost-saving subscription you need. While the idea of paying money to save money may seem absurd, the starting fee of $139 is worth it if you plan to share your benefits with loved ones. You can all enjoy free two-day shipping, Prime Reading on your Amazon Kindle tablets, and Prime Video streaming without sharing a password, among other perks.
Bluetooth audio has made huge improvements over the last few years. But despite these strides, it still falls short of the kind of audio quality that you've been able to get since the 80s when using a decent set of wired headphones. Wireless audio is super convenient, yet there will always be folks who prefer to trade that in for better sound quality. It doesn't hurt that making that jump also makes earbud battery life a non-issue.
Whether it’s just for camping or in case of an emergency, having a power station handy can save you a lot of hassle if you don’t have access to a wall outlet. Plenty of fantastic power stations can handle most people’s daily needs, but there are fewer options for anyone with more demanding use cases. With just over 3.5KWh of LiFePO4 cells made by CATL for EVs, 3000W of AC power, and 16 total outputs, including a 30A RV port, the Mango Power E is 100 lbs of overkill packed into a body that’s hardly bigger than a carry-on bag.
The 10th-generation Kindle may be celebrating its fourth birthday this year, but if you treat it right, there’s no reason it won’t see plenty more. Out of the box, it’s robust enough to take the odd tumble, but if you’re the kind of person who takes your books with you everywhere you go, you’ll want a quality case to ensure it’s always protected.
Jackery Explorer 1000 Pro review: A power station you may never plug into a wall
Why waste a plug when the sun is free and just as fast?
Jackery has been the big name in power stations for a while, and is probably the first company that comes to mind when anyone mentions the words. That's even more impressive when battery brands like Duracell and Energizer are in on the competition.
Edifier MS50A Speaker review: Hi-fi meets Wi-Fi, with a side of Alexa
Pump tunes with Spotify Connect, and upgrade your Echo
Odds are pretty high that if you’ve ever shopped on Amazon around Prime Day or any other major shopping holiday, you might have bought an Echo or Echo Dot for nearly free. Or maybe you got one bundled with another smart home purchase.
Wyze Cam Outdoor v2 review: Low light footage that won't leave you in the dark
Peace of mind for six months on a single charge
Wyze has become very well known for producing affordable home security devices that perform on par with cameras two or three times as expensive. Since the company introduced its first camera with its “Starlight” sensor (and subsequently put that sensor in every camera update), the improvements to low light performance and added color footage at night have made them excellent bang-for-the-buck cameras. The original Cam Outdoor was already great, but the Cam Outdoor V2 version is one of the best battery-powered security cameras money can buy.
Anker 757 Powerhouse review: A powerhouse in every sense
It's heavy and expensive, but Anker's new power station is insanely beefy
Once your portable power needs exceed even the best battery banks on the market, power stations may be your next stop. The $1,400 price tag doesn't exactly make the Anker 757 Powerhouse an impulse purchase, but there are more expensive options that aren't quite as good. With its hefty bank of over 1200Wh in long-life LFP cells, and 1500W of AC output, the Powerhouse is ready for years of powering household appliances.
As technology becomes more integrated into our day-to-day life, it can be super frustrating when things don't go smoothly.

Luckily, most of the common issues can be cleared up in a few seconds, right from your phone, and we're here to guide you through them.

What is Amazon pharmacy and should I use it?
Yet another Prime benefit that may be cheaper than your insurance co-pay
The rise of online pharmacy services is one of the convenient trends that became increasingly popular during the COVID-19 pandemic. Amazon was just one of the company that got in on the action with its Amazon Pharmacy service. Amazon's prescription delivery servcies provides a way for you to access health care at your doorstep. Since the company acquired PillPack in 2018, Amazon has split pharmaceutical services in two.

The internet has always been a place where you need to be careful about how and with whom you share your personal information. But as we live more of our lives online and more of the services upon which we depend are based on the web, the need to be secure with our critical personal data has dramatically increased (if you need security in the real world, take a look at the Blink Outdoor camera).
Ecoflow is no newcomer to the portable power station market, and the Delta 2 shows that EcoFlow isn’t just going to sit back and rest on its laurels. The original Delta power station was great but had room to improve. While it has a slightly reduced capacity compared to the original, the Delta 2's price is also lower at $1,000. That may sound like a lot for a battery, but looking at other big players in the space, like Anker or Jackery, makes it clear that the Delta 2 is actually priced fairly competitively.
