Every Friday, I’ll be highlighting a few new (or relatively new) tech products you should buy. From portable Bluetooth speakers to headphones and earbuds, TVs to content capture devices, phones, appliances, and more, these will all be devices that I have either already reviewed, are in the middle of reviewing and already enjoy, or plan to review in the near future.
Eufy E28 Omni Robot Vacuum and Mop
What sets this robot vacuum and mop apart is that it comes with a removable portable carpet cleaner for quickly picking up spills of coffee, red wine, and other liquids that will likely stain if left to set. Beyond that, you get 20,000 Pa section and a roller mop with HydroJet system. It offers edge-to-edge cleaning of all surfaces, intelligently maps your home first, then can run customized cleans. It works with the companion app and self-cleans once back on its base.
Get the Eufy E28 Omni for $899.99.
Garmin Cirqa Smart Band
I have been wearing the Garmin CIRQA smart band for the last few weeks, and I love the screenless, distraction-free experience. What’s best about it is that you don’t need a subscription. While you can sign up for Connect+, it isn’t necessary to get basic tracking of activities, vitals, sleep, and more, and even some advanced tracking, too. It’s comfortable to wear all day and automatic activity tracking works well for common activities like walking and strength training. So, you can wear it all day, let it do its thing, and only check in on the app when you want to see your stats.
Get the Garmin CIRQA for $279.99.
Marshall Milton ANC Wireless Headphones
The Marshall Milton ANC headphones are a great on-ear pair that offer noise cancelling that rivals over-ears. They are compact and comfortable with easy-to-use buttons, fantastic battery life, and a wired listening option, though you’ll need your own USB-C cable as the one they come with is really short. I really enjoyed these headphones, listening to them in all sorts of environments, including on a plane. Read my review.

Bose SoundLink Plus Portable Bluetooth Speaker
It’s not the best-sounding portable Bluetooth speaker I have tested, but for fans of the brand who value heavy bass, it might be a good option. It’s rugged for outdoor use, offers up to 20 hours battery life, and comes in funky colours like Citrus Yellow. With pass-through charging, you can keep your phone powered up on the beach, too.

Get the Bose SoundLink Plus for $349.99.
Kanto Ren Desktop Speakers
I haven’t reviewed the Kanto Ren speakers, but WiFi HiFi’s John Thomson has and he loves the inclusion of HDMI ARC for connecting them to a TV. He also appreciates the Vocal Boost mode for boosting midrange so you can more easily hear dialogue in TV shows, movies, or even games. He calls the sound sophisticated and an all-around great pair for the desktop or even small home theatre. Read his review.
