Following a successful Kickstarter last year, a combination tuner, string winder and metronome is now available to buy. There's been a Roadie in my gig bag since the first iteration landed 10 years ago, and now I've been sent the 4th-gen unit to try.

Back in the day, the Sportage was first introduced as a bug-eyed monstrosity of a compact utility. It’s evolved and matured since then, and for 2026, Kia’s popular crossover gets a refresh that’s all about refining an already hard-won, solid formula.

If you live in a cold climate and wear a face covering along with eyewear, you'll be aware of a problem: such coverings cause your eyewear to fog up. Well, the Stratus Balaclava solves that problem brilliantly, as I recently found out for myself.

The Nissan Leaf is, in its own way, a big part of modern automotive history. It’s the first affordable EV. And this all-new 2026 model keeps that groundbreaking premise, but updates it to relevance in today’s more saturated market.

If SUVs were cocktails, the 2026 Mercedes-Benz GLE would be an old-fashioned. The bartender won’t raise an eyebrow and you’ll get what you expected without any bougie pretense.

After years of admiring iKamper as the modern innovator behind the expandable three/four-person rooftop tent (RTT), we think we've found a new favorite family-size RTT. The Vision XL from Topoak offers a thoughtful design for less than half the MSRP.

When Volkswagen started showing off the new ID. Buzz as a modern take on the 1960s Microbus (aka “Bus” or "Kombi"), it got people’s attention. The new Buzz is a sort of modern revival of what people imagine the Bus was like, not what the Bus was really like.

We spend way too long in front of screens, so a good desk chair matters. I'm 100% function over form – I'll take comfort over looks any day. It could be hand-crafted from unobtanium and unicorn pelts, but if it's not comfy, I'm out. Here's my review.

Antigravity just dropped the A1 – the world's first "all-in-one 8K 360 drone." Totally sounds like marketing hype until you fly it and realize how truly revolutionary this drone really is.

If you’ve ever wished your cat could tell you when something’s wrong – especially with kidneys, digestion or the bladder – the SiiPet LitterLens might be the closest thing we’ve got to that. And peace of mind comes at only US$59 in December.

Thermal imaging has become wildly accessible, thanks to technological advancements that have made it more affordable than ever. Thermal Master's Thor 002 sits squarely in that sweet spot. And it's about a third of the price of its main competitors.

The Wagoneer S marks a bold leap for Jeep as the brand’s first full-electric model for U.S. buyers. Jeep doesn’t seem shy about it. Its greatest downsides are problems it shares with Wagoneer models on the whole.
