Ninja AutoBarista Pro: two-minute review The Ninja AutoBarista Pro makes crafting coffee and espresso drinks easy. The espresso is the real deal, a true 9-bar espresso brew with crema. It also brews regular drip coffee and a kind of rapid cold brew for iced drinks. From there you can froth your milk of choice, dairy or non-dairy, hot or cold, to create the beverage you get out of bed for. A dozen pre-sets give you one-touch simplicity. Grind iQ chooses the grind size and dose based your beans. But if you prefer to tweak your settings to your personal taste (strength, grind, temperature, size, froth type,) you can save up to two separate user profiles. The Ninja AutoBarista Pro comes with two bean hoppers so you can easily swap out two different kinds of beans in seconds. Plus there is a chute just for pre-ground coffee, so you always have that option. (Image credit: Karen Freeman / Future) I test...

Horipad for Steam: One-minute review The Horipad for Steam is a dedicated PC controller built with Steam integration in mind. This means that Valve's monolithic game launcher recognizes the controller immediately, granting quick access to Big Picture Mode and various settings like deadzone and gyro calibration. I went into my time with the Horipad for Steam thinking it could be a worthwhile cheap Valve Steam Controller (2026) alternative with that in mind. But after nearly two weeks of testing, I'm thinking I'd recommend almost any other PC-compatible controller over this one. (Image credit: Future) The Horipad for Steam is awful; an alarming step-back for a brand that typically delivers solid (if rarely spectacular) budget-friendly controllers and accessories. From its flimsy build quality to the bizarre lack of even Hall effect stick tech, this is a shoddy controller that isn't...

Ecovacs Deebot X12 OmniCyclone: two-minute review The Ecovacs Deebot X12 OmniCyclone arrives in an increasingly crowded robot vacuum market, yet it still manages to stand out thanks to a handful of genuinely innovative features. Chief among these is the OmniCyclone docking station, a bagless dust collection system that uses Dyson-style cyclonic technology to capture detritus without relying on pricy disposable dust bags. As a result, it's a great system for anyone with molting dogs or cats, as long as the bin is emptied on a fairly frequent basis. The X12's floor sweeping credentials aren’t exactly anything to write home about, mind, especially its performance on hard floor.And while its navigation is mostly precise and systematic, I have seen evidence of it occasionally missing some areas. However, it's the mopping system that really sets this machine apart. Rather than dragging two ...
