Bob and Brad M7 Plus Mini massage gun has a powerful speed range and 9mm amplitude, which makes it great for a strong massage, but might be too much for some.

Most automatic espresso machines struggle to make yummy espresso, but not the Jura ENA 4. I was bowled over by its espresso flavor, despite it being overpriced.

Skullcandy’s Method 360 ANC are trying to bring the late noughties back, and I’m not mad. With pumping Bose bass and ANC, they perform well above their price.

The Majority Naga 60 soundbar is a compact soundbar for a super-affordable price of just $67… and while its sound won’t blow you away, I was actually surprised.

Jura C8 automatic coffee machine has just four coffee recipes, but can make drinks in quick succession. It just doesn’t do enough to earn its asking price.

The De’Longhi Stilosa Espresso Machine may look plasticky and cheap, but it brews espresso and steams milk almost like a $500 Breville.

Belkin SoundForm Isolate headphones are cheap, and that’s pretty much all they’ve got going for them. They’re uncomfortable and sound like bass took a day off.

The Samsung HW-S801D Ultra Slim soundbar excels in a few areas: size, sound, and ease of use. But for just a 3.1.2 channel setup, it feels costly for what it's offering.

Samsung HW-S60D has good sound, but I wouldn’t say it’s mind-blowing. With the Smart Things app, it’s easy to control, but most features require a Samsung TV.

The Samsung Bespoke Jet AI Ultra is a perfect vacuum cleaner. Everything about it is incredible: its cleaning power, design, usability features, and more.

The Rode Wireless Go Gen 3 is the mic for content creators: just $300 for professional-level 32-bit quality is a force to be reckoned with.

The Yeti Roadie cooler actually keeps things cold for days and days. Not only does it look cool, it excels keeping ice, cans, and food chilled.

EarFun Tune Pro are super-budget headphones with an unbelievable 120 hours battery life, mediocre sound, and comfy cups.
