Hands-on with Brisk It’s Origin AI powered Wi-Fi pellet grill, select models up to $400 off for Black Friday

Brisk It Origin 580

With so many smokers on the market today, it can be hard to stick out. There are big players in the game that you will find stocked and ready at local hardware stores; however, there are also innovative companies like Brisk It that only recently debuted their products to the world online. Ever since that moment back in 2023, Brisk It has been setting itself apart from the pack with the addition of smart home/AI technology to its flagship product – the Origin-580. Essentially, it is a traditional wood pellet smoker with a worry-free automated cooking experience. As someone who knows her way around the kitchen, I was skeptical about the advanced technology and whether it would hinder the joy that cooking often brings. Luckily, Brisk It sent me their Origin-580 to test out alongside the Vera AI assistant so I could see for myself. My time with the Brisk It smart grill was delicious and interesting, to say the least, keep reading to find out how my days of testing went.

We recently had the opportunity to test out the Flexispot C7 Max ergonomic desk chair. As a writer, the chair I choose to sit in during my days in front of a laptop is important—not just for comfort but also for overall health and well-being. The C7 Max is as sleek and professional-looking as it is comfortable, and the footrest is a pleasant surprise I didn’t know that I needed.

Review: Whisker’s intelligent Litter-Robot 4 – My cat loves it as much as I do, and you will too

Hands-on Litter-bot

Back in August, my partner and I decided to invest in Whisker’s Litter-Robot 3, which I raved about in my subsequent review that you can check out here. While there was a bit of a learning curve for my sweet furbaby, he has since adjusted and all the problems that we were dealing with in his first few months since adopting him have become a thing of the past. That’s why, when given the chance to try out Whisker’s newest model, the Litter-Robot 4, with the add-on LitterHopper, I jumped at the chance to find out just how much the company has improved upon its previous designs. Not only has it been an even more comprehensive addition to my home, but it also expanded and improved many of the things I felt were missing from its predecessor. Head below to learn more about Whisker’s Litter-Robot 4, the next stage of smart, self-cleaning litter boxes that should be in the home of every cat owner.

Tested: Nomad’s hybrid Active Band Pro – the perfect combination of real leather and rubber for Apple Watch users

I love leather Apple Watch bands, it’s very much my thing, but I had been on the hunt for something that can provide that sort of timeless, elegant look that I can also wear for hours on end, in any condition, and during just about activity. Traditional leather bands can get a little bit cumbersome and uncomfortable for some folks after extended wearing periods, myself included and especially if its get’s hot or during workouts. So I just had put the waterproof hybrid leather and rubber Nomad Active Band Pro to the test to see if it actually was the solution I have been after.

Tested: Hands-on with Journey’s new light-up 15W wood-accented MagSafe charger

While they all have different form factors and even multiple charging pads and ports for added functionality, none stand out the way UGREEN’s new Uno Qi2 2-in-1 charging station does with its unique design.

Tested: MUJJO full leather iPhone 16 case – gorgeous colors and metal buttons, but is the updated Camera Control any good?

MUJJO, much like year’s past, was among the first leather case makers out of the gate when iPhone 16 was unveiled. I have been a fan of the brand’s leather treatments for at least a couple generations now, and with some new color options landing for iPhone 16, was excited to give them a test for 2024. While the initial run of these case had a Camera Control button that wasn’t up to the task, it has now re-issued with corrections, readied replacements for early adopters, and I am here to see if it all worked out.

Tested: Hands-on with Arc Pulse – a near perfect metal iPhone 16 bumper case [Exclusive deal]

The Arc Pulse has been one of the most popular options this year among 9to5 readers, bumper style or otherwise.

It’s time for a hands-on look at what might be the only “official” third-party iPhone 16 case with Camera Control (providing you don’t count Beats).

Tested: UGREEN’s Uno 6-in-1 USB-C hub – Making a mundane accessory more playful with friendly little robots

USB-C hubs have traditionally been functional but forgettable devices with little to no innovation or evolution in their design or utility over the years. UGREEN, however, has found a way to make the mundane USB accessory more interesting by adding a touch of personality and a cheerful face. Its new Uno 6-in-1 USB-C hub — just like the other accessories in its Uno series — offers a playful plugging experience with an LED panel that lights up with a smile when in use. I’ve been using the Uno 6-in-1 as my main hub over the last few weeks and I can finally report on whether this cheap and cheerful gadget is worth the cash.

Spigen unleashed its new iPhone 16 case collection with just about all of the usual models and styles folks familiar with the brand will already know…with one exception. With the introduction of the Camera Control button on iPhone 16, Spigen is now one of only a large handful of options out there that actually have a case that forgoes the cutout in favor of a button cover that is supposed to translate the multi-gesture action through to the phone. But at under $30 Prime shipped the question is, does it?

Review: Varmilo’s Muse65 HE metal Hall-Effect keyboard for work and play should be on your radar

The prebuilt keyboard market is filled with a lot of compelling boards at both budget and ultra-premium price points. While the budget ones leave out a lot of features in the name of cost-cutting, the premium offerings with features like gasket mounting and hefty aluminum chassis demand a prohibitive price tag. There’s a distinct lack of reliable keyboards in the mid-range space offering a good mix of features at a palatable price point, and that’s exactly what Varmilo hopes to change with the new Muse65 Hall Effect keyboard.

Tested: Twelve South’s new PlugBug charger – everything should have Apple Find My like this

Last week Twelve South unleashed what it called the “world’s firs power supply with Apple Find My” with the latest iteration of its PlugBug wall charger. I was already a fan of the now discontinued original PlugBug with its slender, hug-the-wall form-factor, so I was immediately knocking on Twelve South’s (virtual) door to get my hands-on the new Find My model, because Find My is cool and I wish everything I owned had it to be honest.

Review: Whisker’s Litter-Robot 3 Connect is a smart, self-cleaning must-have for cat owners

Not long ago, my partner and I brought home a young cat (named Kraydor the Wizard Boy, FYI, and not by me) after he was having trouble getting adopted from our local shelter. Among these first few months, he has been having some…issues with using the litter box – primarily, he refused to use it if it was not immediately cleaned after every use. We had started him off with some pellets that had been recently introduced in our home to fight the odors that linger from typical litter while keeping our floors from being covered in scattered bits. After he instead began relieving himself in random places around the apartment, we tried clumping litter, as our other cat has always preferred it and it allowed Kraydor to better bury his business out of sight, and hopefully out of mind longer than his next visit. This did not work, however, so in a last ditch attempt to save our sanity from having to clean the box every few hours (he’s young and goes regularly), we instead decided to bite the bullet on Whisker’s Litter-Robot 3 Connect, a smart, self-cleaning litter box that manages the worst part of cat companionship.

Tested: NOCO’s GB40 Boost Plus car battery jump starter is as versatile as it is convenient

Order Now!

Anyone who owns a car has likely been in the unfortunate situation of a dead battery at least once – especially when you really need to keep a schedule or make it to an important appointment. Sure, if you have a properly stocked garage you might have a bulky battery charger that you can regularly connect over night to keep levels juiced and ready to go, but for many – particularly city dwellers – living in limited apartment space poses a lot of obstacles to this method. Parking is first come, first serve – plus, running extension cords and leaving the charger out along the streets without staying out with it seems like the best way to have it stolen. That’s where the NOCO GB40 Boost Plus Jump Starter comes in – a portable, multi-capable device that has been an absolute life-saver for years now, particularly in the summer and winter seasons when batteries tend to be sapped by the extreme temperatures without warning.

Review: The CLIP e-bike conversion kit refreshes century-old tech into a new modern design

The world (and life) moves fast and we humans can only do enough in our lives to keep up with it as best we can. One growing aspect that many are trying to find solutions to in the modern world is how to get to all our daily appointments – work, school, social events – in the most affordable and environmentally conscious way. While EVs are certainly the best current answer to the growing questions, they can often fall outside of reach for many due to costs. Solution: conversion kits, like the CLIP, which boasts the title of “the world’s first & only plug-and-play e-bike upgrade.” While many existing kits fall into the category of mountable hub motors, this device, on the other hand, uses inventive new ideas by building upon decades-old technology. That’s why I was absolutely giddy when I was first approached to test out the CLIP and visit the office here in NYC. You can continue reading below to get my hands-on impressions of this ingenious new device – and be sure to check out the short video of my ride too!

Tested: Tribit StormBox 2 is the water bottle-sized, value-packed Bluetooth speaker I’ve always wanted

Order Now!

These days the Bluetooth speaker market can feel overcrowded. This has caused many manufacturers to add lots of gimmicky features that may catch attention at first, but don’t actually matter in the long run. That’s why I was refreshed by the thought of Tribit’s latest portable Bluetooth speaker, StormBox 2. It focuses on the basics and not much else.
