The DreameBot L10s Ultra is Dreame's flagship robot cleaner. Dreame is part of the Xiaomi ecosystem, distributed exclusively in Singapore by Dasher. It retails for S$1,599, Shopee-exclusive until end September 2022, with early-bird pricing lower.
The Roborock G10 launched in Singapore on 7th July 2022 with an RRP of S$1,699, though double-digit sales days routinely bring it far lower, to around S$999.90 on both Shopee and Lazada.
The Ugreen DigiNest Pro Power Strip retails for S$169.99 and is likely Ugreen's first with three AC ports, three USB-C, and one USB-A. Note the AC ports use North American and Japanese Type A plugs.
The Ugreen 200W Desktop Charger is the brand's first 200W unit, with six ports, four USB-C and two USB-A. As one of few 200W chargers around, it is priced steeply at S$279.99 with free shipping.
The Poly Sync 20 is a speakerphone via Bluetooth 5.1 or a USB-A cable. Its three-mic array picks up voices within two metres, paired with a 40mm driver and dual passive radiators. Around S$135 on Amazon.sg.
This review covers the Poly Studio P5 Webcam, part of the Poly Studio P5 Kit with Sync 20+. Most of the kit's contents belong to the Sync 20+ speakerphone, leaving the webcam as the lone item.
Arlo splits its cameras into four lines: Ultra, Pro, Essential, and Go. The Arlo Pro 4 Spotlight Camera sits in the Pro line with 2K HDR recording, a step below the 4K Ultra.
The Roborock Q7 Max launches the mid-range Q series, sitting between the S and E lines. It is the successor to the S5 Max and retails for S$699, known in some markets as the T7 Max.
After my company swapped me to an M1 Pro MacBook Pro, my Razer Core X Chroma eGPU no longer worked, since M1 lacks eGPU support. So I got a Ugreen USB-C to 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub.
The ErgoTune Supreme V3 (2022) is the third iteration of the chair, following the original ErgoTune (2019) and Supreme V2 (2020). With the line well-established, assemblers are now far quicker at setting it up than before.
FOREO is a Swedish beauty-tech brand best known for its LUNA facial cleansing massagers. I discovered it has electric toothbrushes too, under the ISSA line. The ISSA 3 is its third-generation adult toothbrush, retailing for S$246.
I'd used an ErgoEdge AmpDesk standing desk since 2018, well before COVID made working from home routine and triggered a surge in standing-desk demand. This review looks at my upgrade to the EverDesk Max standing desk.
Apple stopped making folio cases after the iPhone 11, so for my folio-loving mom I turned to Moshi. The Overture Case with Detachable Magnetic Wallet for iPhone 13 Pro retails for S$77, in black or pink.
The Moshi Arx Clear Case is a cheaper alternative to Apple's iPhone 13 Pro Max Clear Case, at S$62 versus S$75. Unlike Apple's, it protects the phone's bottom, with soft TPU sides and a hard back.
The Ugreen 4-Port 100W Wall Charger is the brand's second 100W charger, a UK GaN unit with four ports. It retails for S$71.99 but tends to go cheaper on Lazada's monthly double-digit sale days.
The Ugreen Magnetic Wireless Charger is the brand's MagSafe-compatible take, at S$33.59, almost half Apple's S$58. Being only compatible rather than certified, it tops out at 7.5W instead of the full 15W wireless speed.
With nights topping 30°C, Synced sent me the Torras Coolify Portable Air Conditioner to review. This neck-worn cooler retails for S$169, using 36 vents and a 5,000 rpm motor to blow air around your neck.
My second Koncept Z-Bar LED Desk Lamp, after one I've used for over eight years. Sole distributor Bridgemen kindly sent me the Z-Bar (AR3000) along with a desk clamp and occupancy sensor to feature here.
My second Moshi Integra cable, the USB-C Cable comes in 1m and 2m lengths. Made in Taiwan with anodised aluminium ends, it retails for S$44; I wish they made a 25cm version.
Moshi Integra is the brand's braided cable line. I have the USB-C to Lightning Cable in 25cm, the perfect on-the-go length for linking a power bank to my phone. MFi-certified and made in Taiwan, it retails for S$43.
The Moshi HDMI Cable is my second HDMI Premium Certified cable after Cable Matters, retailing for S$40. Moshi leaves 'Premium Certified' out of the name, though it's verifiable via the HDMI certification app.
