Best PS4-Exclusive Game: God of War

God of War Image source: PlayStation/Amazon

Pros: Over-the-shoulder camera action, exciting storylines

Cons: No multiplayer option

Perhaps the most critically-acclaimed Playstation 4 game ever, God of War has no shortage of fans amongst the gaming community. While it is technically the eighth installment of the Playstation series, God of War serves as a sequel to 2010’s God of War III. The game itself differs from most of its counterparts. Unlike the previous installments, this game is loosely based on Norse mythology instead of Greek mythos.

The game features two protagonists — Kratos, the only playable character, and his son Atreus. This manages to combine a detailed, captivating storyline with smooth gameplay. The multi-faceted fighting technology makes it a must-have for any type of gamer.

God of War - Playstation 4

Best PS4-Exclusive Game for Superhero Fans: Marvel’s Spider-Man

Marvel’s Spider-Man Image source: PlayStation/Amazon

Pros: Fantastic storylines, impressive graphics

Cons: No multiplayer

Considering today’s superhero craze — particularly, when it comes to Marvel’s juggernaut film franchises — there is no shortage of fans seeking out ways to use superpowers of their own. Spider-Man is arguably the most popular of all the superheroes, so it totally makes sense that Sony, who at the time of the creation of the game held the rights to Spider-Man, hit the nail on the head with perhaps one of the greatest superhero video games to grace a console, Marvel’s Spider-Man.

The game allows you to experience all of the acrobatics, web-slinging abilities, and fighting merits of one of Marvel’s most beloved superheroes. The graphics give the game a next-gen feel. Coupled with an enticing storyline and smooth gameplay, Spider-Man is an absolute must-have for any PS4 owner, period.

Best Value PS4 Game: Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition Hits

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition Hits Image source: PlayStation/Amazon

Pros: Action-adventure world with high technology, created by Guerrilla Games

Cons: Not as interactive as other games

For a terrific value that will give you plenty of enjoyment, Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition Hits is a solid choice. This is an action role-playing game that was developed by Guerrilla Games, the makers of the Killzone franchise. You play as skilled hunter Aloy who explores a vibrant and lush world inhabited by mechanized creatures.

Unravel mysteries of tribal societies, ancient artifacts, and more. Set in an apocalyptic world, find out what happened to civilization. Highly rated by various publications, this won’t cost you much and can provide a lot of gameplay. It’s not as interactive as other games, but it’s a great introduction to PS4 if you’re learning how to play the system.

Horizon Zero Dawn Complete Edition Hits - PlayStation 4

Best storyline: The Last of Us Part II

The Last of Us Part II Image source: PlayStation/Amazon

Pros: Good sequel, meticulously detailed world

Cons: Some argue it is not as good as the first

How hard it is to follow up a masterpiece of a game? Fans of The Last of Us were wondering that exact thing. Luckily for them, The Last of Us Part II did not disappoint. Continuing Ellie and Joel’s journey, this finds them in Jackson, Wyoming, and goes from there. The story is complex and emotional, showing you more of what you loved about the first one.

You’ll feel the action and survival gameplay like it’s really happening to you. The world is meticulously detailed around you. You’ll have a blast making your way through the post-pandemic United States. It should be fun while feeling realistic.

The Last of Us Part II - PlayStation 4

Best VR game: Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series

Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series Image source: Perpetual/Amazon

Pros: Unreal graphics and gameplay, makes it feel like you’re in the game

Cons: Need two PlayStation Move motion controllers

If you’ve taken advantage of the PlayStation Move motion controllers, then you know how much fun virtual reality can be. With Vader Immortal: A Star Wars VR Series, you can explore those motion controllers even further. There are three different Episodes that you’ll dive into and allow you to act like a Jedi. There are open-ended training modes that allow you to explore your newfound abilities.

You can unlock different Lightsaber hilts and each episode has a Lightsaber Dojo. It is a grand adventure that opens up storylines from the past and the future. Explore Mustafar, the planet that Darth Vader calls home. You’ll also come face to face with Vader himself.

Biking can be a whole lot of fun. Apart from the fact that it serves as a great workout, it’s also better on the environment than driving, and frankly, is a great way to start the day. But it can also be a whole lot of work, especially if you live in hilly areas. Ebikes help solve this issue. They can assist your peddling, or let you bypass peddling altogether, helping you go faster, and making it easier and sometimes more fun to bike.

But there are a ton of ebike models out there, and they’re not all created equal. Some are definitely better than others — offering better range, larger batteries, and other features.

There are a ton of things to consider before buying an ebike. For starters, you’ll want to think about the actual electric components on the bike — namely the motor and the battery. There are two types of ebike motor — mid-drive, and hub-drive. Mid-drive motoros are usually positioned in-between the two pedals, while hub-drive motors are usually positioned in the middle of either the front or rear wheel. Hub-drive motors tend to be cheaper than mid-drive ones. But, mid-drove motors are often smaller, lighter, and more powerful than hub-drives.

Ebike motors also deliver a certain amount of power, measured in watts (W). You can usually ignore an ebike’s wattage, as different manufacturers measure wattage differently, and some get a little creative in order to avoid regulation. Comparing ebikes based on wattage may be better when comparing two bikes from the same company, but still, wattage can often be ignored altogether.

Ebikes also come in different classes. In the U.S., Class 1 ebikes offer pedal-assist, but no throttle. Class 2 ebikes offer a throttle with a maximum speed of 20 mph. Class 3 ebikes are again only pedal-assist, but have a maximum speed of 28 mph.

Of course, you’ll also want to consider other aspects when buying an ebike. For example, you’ll want to think about whether you want an ebike that can fold up, or not. And you’ll want to think about whether you plan on taking the bike off-roading, or not. That all comes down to personal preference.

Without further ado, here are the best ebikes in 2022.

Best ebike overall: Rad Power RadCity 5 Plus

Rad Power RadCity 5 Plus

Looking for a solid all-around ebike for normal use? The Rad Power RadCity 5 Plus isn’t necessarily for serious off-roaders, but its plenty powerful and easy to ride, making it perfect for basic users.

Rad Power Bikes

$1,999

Looking for a great all-around ebike that performs well, looks great, and should last you for years to come? The Rad Power RadCity 5 Plus is the way to go. The bike is a little pricey, but not actually over-the-top for an ebike, and it boasts a ton of great features.

Under the hood, the RadCity 5 Plus offers a 750-watt motor that Rad Power says will deliver between 28 to 50 miles of range on a charge. That’s pretty good — though not necessarily as high as some of the other options on this list. The bike also has a backlit LCD display with a charge indicator, the ability change pedal assist levels, and more.

Riding the bike is great too. It’s very comfortable to ride, thanks to its imitation leather handgrips and good amount of padding. Pedal-assist kicks in smoothly and quickly, making it easy to ride. The bike is well-built and premium too.

So what are the downsides? While the price is in-line with other ebikes, it is still a little pricey. Also, the bike is relatively heavy. But that won’t really matter as much while you’re riding it, as it still feels nimble and easy to steer.

Best offroad ebike: Juiced Bikes RipCurrent S

Juiced Bikes RipCurrent S

If you’re looking for something to take off the road, then it’s worth considering the RipCurrent S, with its fat tires and powerful motor.

• Tons of features
• Long range
• Step-through option

Cons

• Expensive

Juiced Bikes

$2,699

$2,099

If you’re more of an off-roader, then it’s worth considering a bike that fits your lifestyle — like the Juice Bikes RipCurrent S. This bike offers nice fat tires, a great design, and a ton of helpful features. Juiced Bikes has been making ebikes for years now, and it shows in the RipCurrent S.

There are plenty of things to like about the RipCurrent S. For example, the bike boasts a strong build, that can easily withstand all kinds of use, from road use to mountain biking. The bike has a rear hub 750W motor, with a battery that can deliver up to an impressive 120 miles of range. That’s more than many other options on this list.

It also has some great safety features on board. You’ll get a 1050-lumen front headlight, along with hydraulic brakes and dual-piston calipers. Braking also disables the motor, preventing it from then launching you forward.

This bike is great, but again, not perfect. The RipCurrent S is relatively expensive, with a list price of $2,699. At the time of this writing, you could get it for $2,099.

Best commuter ebike: VanMoof S3

VanMoof S3

The VanMoof S3 doesn’t just offer a great ride and high-tech features, but it also boasts a stunning design.

Pros

• Smooth ride
• Good range
• High-tech

Cons

• Expensive

VanMoof

$2,448

VanMoof has been hailed as the Apple or the Tesla of the bike world, thanks to its stunningly-designed ebikes that offer a more simplistic take on bike design. The VanMoof S3 is around the same price as many of the other top-end ebikes on this list. But, it’s easily the most stylish, and great for riding to work in the morning.

When it comes to features, the VanMoof S3 has a lot to offer. It provides a super comfortable ride, with theft protection features and regular maintenance, if you’re willing to pay extra for them. Without having to pay extra, however, you’ll get a motor that’s able to deliver between 37 and 93 miles of range, depending on how you use the bike. On the higher end that’s not bad. The bike even works with the VanMoof app to control certain aspects of it, making using it even more versatile.

The VanMoof S3 is a great bike, but there are a few downsides to consider. Notably, the bike is a little pricey, and it’s probably not the bike to get if you’re looking for something to take mountain biking. But those issues will be easy to look past for many looking for a great commuter bike.

Best folding ebike: Rad Power RadExpand 5

Rad Power RadExpand 5

If you’re looking for a foldable bike that you can store in smaller spaces, then the Rad Power RadExpand 5 is the bike for you.

Pros

• Foldable design
• Fat tires

Cons

• Heavy
• Range is a little low

Rad Power Bikes

$1,499

Live in a city and want something you can better store away? The Rad Power RadExpand 5 is worth considering. This bike lives in the legacy of the much-loved RadMini brand, also offering a fold-up design, and boasting a relatively low price compared to some of the other bikes on this list.

Despite its small size, the RadExpand 5 offers excellent performance. You’ll get a top speed of 20 miles per hour, with a range of between 25 and 45 miles, depending on how you ride the bike and the terrain you take it on. That’s not incredible range, and you might want to get into the habit of charging in between rides. But still, most won’t ride further than 25 miles at a time.

The bike’s small size and low price mean there are some considerations to make. For example, the bike doesn’t have suspension, though it does have large tires that should help make up for that. Despite that, however, if you want a fold-up ebike, you can’t really do much better than the RadExpand 5.

Best cruiser ebike: Blix Sol Eclipse

Blix Sol Eclipse

The Blix Sol Eclipse is a classy-looking and premium roadster ebike that’s perfect for riding around town and taking to the beach.

Pros

• Comfortable ride
• Nice wide handlebars
• Premium build

Cons

• Mechanical disc brakes

Blix

$1,699

Looking for a stylish cruiser that you ride around town? The Blix Sol Eclipse is the way to go. This bike offers a stunning build with a super smooth ride — and it comes in a range of stunning colors.

Under the hood, the Blix Sol Eclipse offers a 750 watt motor and battery that’s able to deliver up to 45 miles of range, which is fine, but not incredible. It also has an integrated front LED light. And, it has a digital display with a USB port for charging your devices built in.

The Sol Eclipse is a great beach cruiser, but there are a few things to note. Some will prefer hydraulic brakes over the disc brakes built in to the Sol Eclipse, for example. But if you’re able to look past that, you’ll love the style on offer by the Sol Eclipse.

Are ebikes worth the investment?

It really depends what you’re looking for! For many, they’re absolutely worth the investment, as they offer a way to get around, without having to use a car, and without having to exert too much energy. That means that you could get to and from work without breaking a sweat, and then take your bike mountain biking on the weekends, depending on the bike that you get.

How long do ebikes last?

Ebikes should last about as long as regular bikes. That’s to say, you should be able to get a solid 10 years of use out of an ebike. That can vary a little, depending on how you care for your ebike and how you use it. And, of course, keep in mind that some components will need to be replaced sooner.

How far can an ebike go on one charge?

That depends on the model of ebike you get. On the low end, and depending on your usage, you can expect to get around 25 miles of range from your ebike. Some ebikes, however, offer over 100 miles of range.

Best Xbox One new game: Halo Infinite Standard Edition

Master Chief in Halo Infinite

Pros: Groundbreaking multiplayer experience, Forge, the content creation tool

Cons: Have to connect to the Internet to download the rest of the game

If you’ve been a fan of Xbox for a while, you’ve likely played Halo before. With the latest Halo Infinite, you’ll get more of what you love. This has the most expansive Master Chief campaign yet and a groundbreaking multiplayer that you have to see to believe. Master Chief must confront the most ruthless foe he’s ever faced. You’ll get to explore the massive scope of the Halo ring.

The multiplayer has been reimagined and is free to play. There are seasonal updates, community-focused content, new modes, maps, and more. There is also Forge mode, the content creation tool fans have loved in previous versions of the game. That is still set to be released and fans are clamoring for it to only make the game better. The arena shooter experience returns to Halo’s roots. The game provides an amazing experience across platforms, so you can play it on Xbox One or Xbox Series X.

Halo Infinite: Standard Edition – Xbox Series X & Xbox One

Best Xbox One racing game: Forza Horizon 5

Forza Horizon 5 Image source: Microsoft/Amazon

Pros: Incredible graphics, hundreds of challenges in campaigns

Cons: Sharing creations isn’t the easiest

For those who are huge fans of action sports, Forza Horizon 5 is a great pick for you. Building off of the previous versions, the ability to race through different seasons is what sets this game apart from competitors. No two seasons are ever the same. This has immersive campaigns with hundreds of challenges in each. The game rewards you for engaging.

You can customize your cars with more kits than ever before. The new EventLab gameplay toolset includes custom races, challenges, stunts, and new game modes. The new Gift Drops feature lets you show off your creations. Explore Mexico in new ways. Sharing what you made inside the game can be a pain.

Forza Horizon 5: Standard Edition – Xbox Series X & Xbox One

Best fantasy game: Elden Ring

Pros: Incredibly expansive world, beautifully created

Cons: Very difficult

In Elden Ring, you’ll be swept away into an action role-playing game designed by Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R.R. Martin. Released in Feb. 2022, it takes place in the Lands Between and your objective is to find all the Great Runes, which are shards of the Elden Ring, restore it, and become the Elden Lord. The expansive world is so open and allows players to battle hard foes and search for clues to battle the game.

What makes this game great is how challenging it is. But it’s also what makes it difficult, as many players have complained about the lack of clues. The game is stunning to look at, as the graphics show the peril and wonder of the game world. If you’ve played Miyazaki’s Dark Souls series, you’re sure to like this one.

Elden Ring (Xbox One)

Best sports game: Madden NFL 22

Madden NFL 22 Image source: EA/Amazon

Pros: Franchise mode with staff management changes, Face of the Franchise mode

Cons: Some feel not enough is changed from previous iterations

As fans are getting acquainted with MLB The Show 22, the jury is still out on that. But you should consider getting the most recent iteration of Madden. Madden NFL 22 gives you new features and some of the best graphics you’ll find. This has a Franchise mode that includes staff management, weekly strategy, and a new enhanced seasons engine. There are different additions to the game, including Face of the Franchise and The Yard. This has avatar progress that you can share.  When you’re playing in Ultimate Team mode, for the first time, you can adjust Superstar X-Factors at halftime. While it may be a blast, it may not have changed enough to warrant another new purchase in some people’s minds.

Madden NFL 22 MVP Edition - Xbox One & Xbox Series X

Best action-adventure game: Assassin’s Creed Valhalla

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla Image source: Ubisoft/Amazon

Pros: Explore a Dark Age open world, ability to dual-wield powerful weapons

Cons: Feels rushed in parts

Assassin’s Creed Valhalla brings the world-renowned franchise to the time of the Vikings. You can lead epic Viking raids against Saxon troops and fortresses. It’ll feel like you’re in that time period, as the visceral fighting style is recreated. You can also dual-wield powerful weapons, crushing your opponents. This has the most varied collection of enemies in the franchise’s history.

Each choice that you make in the game will shape your character’s story arc. You can even explore a Dark Age open world, leading you from the shores of Norway to beautiful kingdoms in England. Furthermore, this helps Assassin’s Creed return to prominence. The storyline does feel rushed at times. It’s heavily discounted, as it is a bit of an older game.

You’ll love the Cinema HDR, Dolby Vision IQ, and Dolby Atmos. This is also offered in sizes ranging from 48″ to 83″. It is not easy to mount, especially if you choose one of the larger models. So you may want professionals to help you with that if you’re set on mounting it.

Best Alexa speakers for value: Echo Dot

Amazon’s 4th-generation Echo Dot smart speaker set up on a table. Image source: Amazon

Pros: Voice control your entertainment, connect with others with phone calls

Cons: Sound quality isn’t the clearest

The Echo Dot has always been one of Amazon’s best Alexa speakers for one simple reason: it’s Amazon’s least expensive Alexa speaker. Amazon’s Echo Dot is great for placing Alexa speakers around your home so they’re always in range. This is the 4th generation model and is designed to protect your privacy.

The earlier options of the Echo Dot didn’t allow you to play much music. You’re able to stream Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, SiriusXM, and others. You can control your smart home with this, as you can sync up other Alexa-capable devices to turn them on and off with your voice. The sound quality has never been better for an Echo Dot before and this is still incredibly affordable. There are also options that have a clock. You can even get one that looks like Grogu aka Baby Yoda from The Mandalorian.

Echo Dot (4th Gen, 2020 release) | Smart speaker with Alexa | Charcoal

Best sounding: Echo Studio

Pros: Five speakers, adapts to any room

Cons: Takes some customizing to get the best treble settings

While there’s no question that the Echo Dot is the best and most affordable way to spread Alexa around your entire home, there are a few rooms that deserve something more. The 4th-gen Dot has better sound quality than its predecessors, but it still can’t hold a candle to the Echo Studio. This premium Alexa speaker offers the same hands-free access to Alexa.

It does have five speakers that produce powerful bass, dynamic mid-range, and crisp highs. This has Dolby Atmos technology that adds space, clarity, and depth. There are multiple formats to listen to, including HD, Ultra HD, and 3D formats. 3D audio is something special that this delivers. You can control Zigbee-compatible devices. This has the same music platforms as other Alexa speakers. You can also boost your sound by adding it with the Echo Sub. You’ll have to do some work to get it to your preferred settings for treble, bass, and more. But once it finds the sweet spot, it really hits nicely.

Echo Studio - High-fidelity smart speaker with 3D audio and Alexa

Best for your car: Echo Auto

Amazon’s Echo Auto gives people hands-free access to Alexa in any car. Image source: Amazon

Pros: Eight microphones, goes beyond radio

Cons: Not compatible with all cars

The Echo Auto is designed to use Alexa in your car. This connects to the Alexa app on your phone and plays through your car speakers. It works with an auxiliary input or via a Bluetooth connection. There are eight microphones and far-field technology, so it will hear you over air conditioning, music, and road noise. You can turn your phone into a driver-friendly display that compliments your Echo Auto.

There are easy-touch shortcuts to your favorite places, people, and content. Through the app, you can stream Audible, Amazon Music, Apple Music, Spotify, SiriusXM, and radio stations. There are multiple layers of privacy controls to protect your data. Use your voice to do more in your car. You will have to make sure to check if it works with your car or not.

You’ll be able to make or take your calls with Alexa. You’ll be able to connect with Amazon Echo devices to sync them together. Using the Bose Music app, you can set it up quickly with prompts. There are three different ways to manage what you hear, as it works with your voice, Bose Music app, or six one-touch presets. It is very pricey and the Wi-Fi settings aren’t the easiest to comprehend. But if you want an excellent experience when all is said and done and set up, this is a great purchase.

Best sound settings for Alexa Speakers: Marshall Stanmore II

It frequently sells out, so you’ll have to keep an eye on it. This Alexa smart speaker also isn’t the easiest to carry with you. But it does deliver terrific sound quality. Also, it is on sale for a short time right now.

Internet access isn’t just a luxury these days; it’s an absolute necessity. Since many of us work from home at least some of the time in this day and age, if something stands in the way of your access to the Internet, it can’t be tolerated. Many people think that when they have issues with their home Internet network, it’s always the fault of their Internet service provider. That can be true sometimes, but more often than not connectivity problems are actually caused by your Wi-Fi router.

Having the right Wi-Fi router for your situation is a must. You will often be able to get a router from your Internet service provider. But they may not give you the best option and you can absolutely use your own. For families who connect a lot of devices to Wi-Fi, you want a good router. If you’ve been having issues lately that you can’t seem to resolve, it’s probably time to upgrade your home router and see just how much better things can be when you have faster and more reliable access to the web. Here are our picks for the best Wi-Fi routers for your home.

Pros: No subscription required, can be used indoors or outdoors

Cons: Has to be plugged in

The original WYZE Cam was nothing short of a game-changer in the home security camera market. But the WYZE Cam v3 is even better. It is our favorite entry-level camera because it offers the same great features as much more expensive models, but for a small fraction of the price. This has 14 days of recordings stored in the WYZE Cam app. You’ll be able to record nighttime videos in full, vivid color. The Starlight Sensor works in 25x darker environments.

Best wire-free camera: Blink Outdoor

Blink Outdoor Image source: Blink/Amazon

Pros: Two-year battery life, infrared night vision

Cons: Stores locally on a flash drive that you have to provide

Wireless security cameras are terrific because they’re easy to set up, but wire-free cameras take that convenience to the next level. Since they’re powered by batteries, they don’t need to be plugged into a wall. Most battery-powered cameras last just a few months before needing to be recharged, but cameras in the Blink Outdoor last for a class-leading 2 years before it needs new batteries. You can set this up in minutes because it doesn’t have any wires.

This will store clips and photos in the cloud with a Blink Subscription Plan. You’ll get motion detection alerts on your phone and you can customize them.

The post Best smart security cameras in 2022: Protect your home appeared first on BGR.

Cordless vacuums are much more convenient than traditional ones. Not only do they prevent you from having to constantly change the power outlet each time you clean a new room, but they also let you clean your car, easily clean different floors, and more. But there are tons of options out there — and the result is that it can be hard to find the best cordless vacuums out there.

That’s why we’ve put together this guide.

There are a number of things to consider before you buy a cordless vacuum. Firstly, you’ll want to think about the size of your home — and how long of a battery life you’ll need to clean the entire home. Most cordless vacuums have a battery life of at least 45 minutes or so, which should be enough for most. But if you need more time, you’ll need to keep that in mind. You’ll also want to think about suction power. If you have thick carpet, you may need something with better suction power. If you have a thinner carpet or plan on using it on hard floors, that may not matter. And, of course, you’ll also want to think about the price.

No matter what you’re looking for from a cordless vacuum, there should be something on this list for you. Here are the best cordless vacuums in 2022.

Best cordless vacuum overall: Dyson V15 Detect

Dyson V15 Detect

The Dyson V15 Detect looks great, offers powerful suction, and is very easy to use. Sure, it’s a little expensive, but if you’re looking for a great cordless vacuum, this is the way to go.

Pros

• Powerful suction
• Modern design
• Easy to use

Cons

• Expensive
• Not the longest battery life

Dyson

$749.99

Want the best cordless vacuum you can find, and don’t mind spending the cash for it? The Dyson V15 Detect is the way to go. The vacuum isn’t cheap, but the trade-off is that it’s powerful, well-designed, and works incredibly well.

One of the most interesting things about this vacuum, in particular, is that it has a laser light on the front that illuminates dust that would otherwise remain unseen, allowing you to clean deeper than you would be able to with other vacuums. You’ll suck up far more dust than other vacuums too — this vacuum has a five-stage filtration system that can capture 99.99% of dust particles down to 0.3 microns. Impressive.

The vacuum comes with a range of accessories to help you better clean your home. There’s a Laser Slim Fluffy head for hard floors, a High Torque cleaner head for all kinds of floors, a crevice tool, dirt brush, and more. All the basics are there, and much more. And, the vacuum is wall-mountable, meaning that it’s easier to store.

So what are the downsides to this vacuum? Well, the biggest one is the price — it’s not cheap. Also, while you’ll get up to 60 minutes of usage, reviews indicate that you’ll probably get a fair amount less in real-world use.

Best cordless vacuum under $500: Roborock H7

Roborock H7

If you’re looking for a powerful vacuum that isn’t quite as pricey as the Dyson option on this list, then it’s worth considering the Roborock H7.

Pros

• Powerful
• Multiple cleaning modes
• Good air filtration

Cons

• Still a bit pricey
• Cleaning time can be limited

Amazon

$499.99

The Roborock H7 isn’t as powerful, nor as high-tech as the Dyson V15 Detect. But for the vast majority of people, it’s still more than good enough for the vast majority of users. The vacuum is powerful, has a few different modes for cleaning, and has some great air filtration tech that should ensure your home is cleaner than ever.

The Roborock H7 comes with a range of accessories to make it more versatile for cleaning. You’ll get a crevice tool, flex tube, motorized mini brush, multisurface brush, and more. You’ll also get a wall mount, and all those extra accessories will attach magnetically to the side of the mount. And, the vacuum has air filtration tech that Roborock says will capture 99.99% of particles as small as 0.3 microns. Impressive.

There are a few downsides to consider. Notably, while the vacuum is cheaper than the Dyson V15 Detect, it’s still not cheap. And, while the battery should be fine for most, if you regularly use the higher cleaning modes it may not last quite as long.

Best budget cordless vacuum: Moosoo K23

Moosoo K23

Cordless vacuums don’t have to cost an arm and a leg. If you want a solid option for only a little more than $100, the Moosoo K23 is the way to go.

$114.99

Got a budget of under $200 or so? The Moosoo K23 won’t get you the same performance or number of features as some of the other options on this list, but you’ll still get a solid cordless vacuum experience.

This vacuum comes with a number of accessories to make it better at cleaning. You’ll get an LED floor head that helps you see your way around, along with a wall mount to dock the vacuum when you’re not using it. The dust bin is also pretty large, and the components are washable, which can come in handy.

The design of the vacuum is solid too. Sure, it’s not as sleek and stylish as some of the others on this list, but you’ll still enjoy all the benefits of a cordless vacuum. You can use the vacuum to clean your car and your home alike, and while it’s a bit heavier than some others, it’s still light enough for most use.

So what are the downsides? Well, the battery life isn’t great, at only 35 minutes of running time, and the vacuum simply isn’t as powerful as the other options on this list. Still, it’s a solid option for those on a budget.

Best cordless vacuum for pet hair: Shark IZ363HT

Shark IZ363HT

If you’re looking for a cordless vacuum specifically for vacuuming pet hair, then the Shark IZ363HT is the vacuum to get.

Pros

• Solid performance
• Easy to clean
• Relatively inexpensive

Cons

• Takes a while to charge
• A little short

Amazon

$349.99

Do you have a pet that tends to shed a lot? For a cordless vacuum that’s specifically focused on picking up pet hair, it’s worth considering the Shark IZ363HT. This vacuum isn’t perfect, and you might still be better off doing for the top pick on this list, but it does offer good performance and is great at picking up pet hair.

There are a number of things that make this cordless vacuum great, but one of the best of them is the fact that the vacuum is pretty inexpensive. In other words, you don’t have to pay too much to get a vacuum that’s good at cleaning pet hair. Also, the vacuum is relatively easy to clean, and performs pretty well.

So what are the downsides to the vacuum? Well, as mentioned it’s not quite as powerful as some of the other options on this list, and it’s not quite as tall as some of the others. That means that taller people might struggle a little using this vacuum.

Best cordless vacuum for hard floors: Dyson Omni-glide

Dyson Omni-Glide

Looking for a vacuum for your hard floors? The Dyson Omni-Glide offers excellent hard wood floor cleaning performance, and makes it easy to get right under your furniture.

Pros

• Excellent at cleaning hard floors
• Gets under furniture

Cons

• Doesn't clean carpet
• Expensive

Dyson

$449.99

Do you have hard floors throughout your home? The Dyson Omni-Glide might be worth considering. This vacuum won’t clean the carpet — at all — but if you don’t have any carpet, that won’t matter.

There are a number of things that make the Dyson Omni-Glide so great at cleaning hard floors. The vacuum is super compact and lightweight, but it’s still very powerful, and versatile. The device can clean in all different directions, and considering the slightly small head, it can fit into tight spaces. The device has a powerful motor to ensure it picks up all of that dirt and grime.

There are few things to keep in mind with the Dyson Omni-Glide. Notably, this vacuum is only for hard floors — so don’t buy it to clean a carpet too. And, it’s still a little expensive, coming in at around $400. But if you can live with those things, it’s worth buying.

Are Sharks better than Dyson?

It really depends. Dyson still generally makes the best cordless vacuums on the market, but some of Shark’s higher-end models will be better than Dyson’s lower-end ones. Shark is an excellent cordless vacuum manufacturer, but Dyson cordless vacuums still tend to offer better suction.

How long do cordless vacuums last?

You should get at least three years of normal usage out of a cordless vacuum, and many will be able to get more usage than that.

Are cordless vacuums worth it?

For many, they are. Cordless vacuums are more convenient and easier to store than traditional vacuums. In the past, they’ve been a little more expensive — but there are now a ton of low-cost cordless vacuum options on the market.

Apple’s iPhone 13 is by far the best iPhone ever. Of course, it’s also just as fragile as other recent iPhone models that Apple has released. That means if you don’t find some good iPhone 13 cases, you risk smashing your pricey smartphone.

Demand for the iPhone 13 lineup has been even stronger than iPhone 12 demand was last year. Since Apple set a bunch of sales records with the iPhone 12, it sure looks like the company has another hit on its hands.

On the flip side, however, there’s no question that these new iPhones are just as breakable as earlier models. And if you plan to buy one, you definitely need to see the iPhone 13 cases, iPhone 13 Pro cases, and other iPhone 13 accessories on Amazon right now.

Long story short, you would have to be crazy to use an iPhone 13 without a case. The iPhone 13 Pro Max price goes all the way up to $1,599 for the model with 1TB of storage. Also, the cheapest iPhone 13 model starts at $699. Do you really want to risk breaking a smartphone that cost between $700 and $1,600?!

People drop their smartphones. It happens all the time. No matter how careful you are, accidents are completely unavoidable.

And that’s exactly why you absolutely must use a case with your iPhone 13 mini or iPhone 13. The iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max are even more expensive, of course.
