As a country girl from Mississippi, I was never much a fan of camping – for one, because that far south, temperatures and humidity were unbearable during certain times of the year, and for another, because we already lived in a rural area so I would always rather enjoy nature near home and return to the comforts of AC when I was exhausted and dehydrating. It wasn’t until I moved northward, now living in NYC for 17 years, that I came to enjoy the disconnect camping – or even just hanging out all day in a park – could afford. Of course, this usually involves filling and refilling a cooler with more and more ice as the hours went on, which is no longer a problem when introducing an electric cooler into the equation. Enter the Anker SOLIX EverFrost 2 58L Electric Cooler with its dual-zone compartments, which I’ve been testing out despite New York’s still-chilly spring weather, but will certainly be a useful companion once the recreational baseball season here picks up later this month, running through summer. Head below to read about my experience so far with this all-new model that makes ice runs a thing of the past.

After the major improvements I saw with Yeedi’s M12 Pro+ model, I was excited to see what the brand had improved upon with its latest release, the flagship S14 Plus Robot Vacuum and Mop, which has taken things to the next level. Continue reading below to learn more about what to expect through setup, performance, and some of the highlights that come with this upgraded model.

Over the fall, I was invited to attend a media preview where I got my first chance to see the Easy SideCar 3 e-bike from MOD Bikes in person. After a night of browsing some of the hottest new tech to grace the market, I was offered the chance to take the e-bike home to get a first-hand experience of what this model could do.
