The future of vacuuming is cordless.

A year after halting all new designs of its wired stand-up vacuums, Dyson has made good on its promise to only introduce new cordless dirt busters. 

Succeeding the Cyclone V10 is the new V11 Torque Drive handheld vacuum. As its name implies, the V11’s suction is powerful — delivering 20 percent more suction than the V10, according to Dyson. 

But even more useful is the teeny bit of intelligence Dyson’s sprinkled onto the V11, which allows the vac to automatically adjust the amount of suction needed based on the floor type. The V11 also has a nifty display that tells you how much estimated battery life is remaining as the suction power changes between flooring. Read more…

Casper Glow review: Even gestures can’t make this more than an expensive night light

Casper Glow
$89 (single), $168 (double)
The Good

Super easy to use • Light gets really bright • Charges wirelessly

The Bad

No Alexa or Google Assistant integration • Can’t swap out LED if it dies • App is a little slow to refresh data • Pricey

The Bottom Line

Casper’s first gadget, the Glow, is a cute portable light controlled with gestures, but it doesn’t offer enough features for the price.

Philips Hue takes the plunge into the bathroom with the Adore line

Besides making lights for your yard, Philips Hue is also moving into another room — the bathroom. Its new Adore collection is launching with two products: a mirror or a ceiling fixture. 

Before you get hopes up, these are white ambient lights only, and the bulbs (or rather LEDs) in these can’t be changed by the user. Philips Hue rates them each at 2,400 lumens and with an estimated lifetime of 30,000 hours. 

Both models can help to solve a pain point for those who like to check themselves out before leaving for the office. Only in the Hues’ case, the lights can mimic natural outdoor light fluorescent tube ones in your dank, depressing office. The mirror and ceiling fixture have settings for bright light, relaxed light, and many others. In fact, there are over 50,000 shades of white that each of these can produce. Read more…
