This new Peacock mystery is the only thing you should binge this weekend

I love sinking my teeth into a meaty drama, but sometimes you want something a bit less demanding. There are lots of comedy shows out there that just want to make you laugh, and if you end up doing a little thinking in between, all the better. Such is the case with The ‘Burbs, a new Peacock original series based on the Tom Hanks movie of the same name from 1989. In that film, Hanks is a suburban native who teams up with his wacky neighbors to investigate his creepy neighbors. Is there really something wrong afoot, or is suburban…

Narwal’s CES 2026 lineup puts smarter AI cleaning front and centre

We’ve come a long way from those hapless (but well-meaning) robot vacuums of yesteryear – Chinese brand Narwal has landed at CES 2026 with its biggest smart cleaning push yet.  Headlining its 2026 lineup is the new Flow 2 robot vacuum, joined by a fresh range of cordless cleaners and the brand’s first mattress vacuum. Together, they’re designed to cover everything from everyday floor mess to deep-cleaning soft furnishings – with far less manual effort along the way. Rather than focusing on raw power alone, Narwal’s latest gear leans heavily into adaptive AI, scenario-based cleaning, and a growing ecosystem that…

Love transparent tech? You’ll need this electric toothbrush

If you’re anything like me and have a soft spot for transparent tech, then you absolutely need Laifen’s new Wave Pro electric toothbrush. It’s the latest addition to the brand’s growing line-up of good-looking, very clever personal care gear. I’ve seen plenty of electric toothbrushes in my time, and most of them look like medical devices. But the Wave Pro comes in Transparent Black, wearing its internals proudly. This isn’t just a clear plastic gimmick either – the transparent finish is paired with Laifen’s usual metal build, which makes it feel more like a premium gadget. The tech under that…

Never know if you’re drinking enough water? With this gadget, your toilet will tell you

Struggle to keep on top of drinking enough water every day? Most hydration tracking methods fall somewhere between “guessing” and “expensive.” I tried Withing’s U-Scan pee monitor, which offered even more health insights than just hydration. But this health tracker didn’t come cheap at $380, with a subscription for new filters required as well. That’s why Vivoo’s new Smart Toilet sensor caught my eye at CES 2026. It promises to give you actual hydration data from your wee, all for a much lower one-time cost. This clip-on gadget sits quietly on the back of your bog, waiting for you to…

This might be the last set of garden tools you ever need to buy

Ever found yourself ankle-deep in hedge clippings, muttering at a petrol strimmer that won’t start? Mova’s new 60V platform might be your ticket out of garden tool purgatory. At CES 2026, the brand rolled out a full set of smart, cordless tools that all run off one battery. They also share software, sensors, and over-the-air updates. The battery is no slouch – it offers 60V of torque-friendly power. It can juice back up with a 30-minute recharge, and it’s so easy that you slot it into anything in the range and you’re off. And there’s a tool for everything you…

If your robot vacuum has ever gotten stuck between rooms, this one’s for you

Ever had to rescue your robot vacuum from the ledge between your kitchen and lounge? I have, and it sort of ruins the robot experience – if I can say that without sounding too spoilt. But Roborock might finally have the answer with its new Saros 20. Shown off at CES 2026, it packs a brand-new mobility system called AdaptiLift Chassis 3.0. This system can actually lift the robot’s body to conquer double thresholds up to 3.3-inches tall. It also raises itself intelligently when it hits carpet, keeping its suction and brushes in contact without turning your rug into a…

The future of wall art is E Ink, expansive – and out of my price range

Artworks that can be swapped with a swipe aren’t so sci-fi now that colour E Ink frames are a thing, but it takes more than simply going big if you want real wow factor. InkPoster’s latest isn’t just the world’s largest digital color art poster – the A1 installation sits in a fame hand-crafted by legendary Italian design house Pininfarina. At more than a meter wide, the InkPoster x Pininfarina Duna is a proper statement piece. The 40.5in/A1 dimensions put every other ePaper poster to shame, while its E Ink Spectra 6 screen can show 60,000 convincing colours without the…

I don’t have a pool, but this cleaner makes me want one more

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t all that intrigued by the idea of a pool cleaner. That is until I saw Mammotion’s Spino S1 Pro at CES 2026 – from the team behind one of my favourite robot mowers. I don’t have a pool, but watching this thing in action made me want one more than I already do – it’s one of the most impressive gadgets I’ve seen at the show. Pool cleaners are usually complicated with tangled cables and lifting heavy robots out of the water. Or in worst case scenarios, rescuing something that gets stuck halfway through a…

I’ve already found my next must-have gadget for summer

If you don’t have air conditioning, escaping the summer heat can be a nightmare. It’s a problem I face in the one week of decent weather we get in the UK. Open windows won’t do much if the weather’s heavy and your walls are built for chilly winters, and fans often only move around the warm air. Fortunately, I’ve found my next must-have for the summer. At CES 2026, Dreo unveiled its TurboCool range of fans, which includes tower, desk, and outdoor options. These are misting fans, which blast out a very fine spray of water to cool your room…

The smartest detective series on Netflix right now isn’t the one you think

Crime series are one of the most popular kinds of TV shows on at the moment, and anyone interested has tons of options to choose from. Netflix has eagerly embraced the genre, with series like Narcos, Ozark, and the Monster series all building huge fanbases. But with so many such series, it’s easy for new ones to fly under the radar. Million-Follower Detective, a new series that dropped on Thursday, February 12, is one such show. This smart, digestible Taiwanese potboiler is very much worth your time. Million-Follower Detective is up-to-the-minute A crime show set in 2026 Million-Follower Detective mainly…
