Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2

In autumn 2023, Samsung released their new SmartTag2. It replaced the two previous products they had in the same category, and with SmartTag2, you really get your money’s worth. Most impressive is the feature that uses argumented reality (AR) to locate the SmartTag2 (and therefore the object it’s attached to), but let’s start from the …

Tile Mate

When Tile made its breakthrough almost a decade ago, it was simply a groundbreaking product the company had developed.

The answer is not clear. Boosting …

Chipolo One

Once you get your hands on a Chipolo, it’s hard not to be a little disappointed by the design. It looks like the kind of pieces that janitors carry around in their big key fobs. Eighties-esque and plastic. Even the colours are utilitarian. But even if the normcore look doesn’t appeal to us, like in …

4 smarttags

A smart tag is like a little breadcrumb that helps you find your stuff again, and if Hansel and Gretel had kept one in their pocket, they might have been saved, even if the birds ate the crumbs they dropped on the path. You can track the things you lose or get stolen, but smart …

LG Styler

“Can this cabinet replace an iron?” I hopefully asked the LG consultant who had travelled across the country to make sure I got off to a good start testing the styler, as the cabinet is called. I’m not a big fan of my iron. “No, it’s a supplement,” he replied, but hastened to add that …

Wilfa Innobot RVC-D4000SL+

The Innobot RVC-D4000SL is of course a little extra exciting because it’s a brand new category for Wilfa. I know from experience that there can be many teething problems in such cases. In any case, they don’t skimp on the accessories, and in the box there are generous extras of just about everything! It actually …

DeLonghi Rivelia is the latest machine from the Italian brand. It’s a small, affordable, fully automatic espresso machine that wants to make it as easy and quick as possible to switch between different coffee beans. Something that is usually quite cumbersome.

Kenwood Cooking Chef XL

This machine differs from average thermoblenders in almost every way. The Cooking Chef XL looks like a food processor on steroids, which is exactly what it is. The bowl is huge, almost twice the size of most thermoblenders, and it can heat ingredients up to a searing 180 degrees with induction heat. Among other things, …
