Product: Honeywell AirGenius 4
Price: $199.00
Rating: Recommend*

Sniff, sniff, achooo! If that's a common summertime tune at home, it may be time to consider getting an air purifier. Our 1920's Los Angeles apartment is the perfect real-world testing ground for air purifiers, thanks to the urban setting, poor window and door seals, and two feline occupants. More importantly, I live with a seasonal allergy sufferer, allowing reviewing and recording the effectiveness of the new Honeywell AirGenius 4 as easy as sniffing the air and listening for sneezing throughout the day...

How does Google's tablet stack up and who is this device right for you? Read on for the skinny on this svelte 7" tablet. More

Price: $79.99
Rating: Strong Recommend*

If I have any complaint at all about the Apple Magic Mouse and Wireless Keyboard, it's that they are absolute battery hogs. The Logitech Wireless Solar Keyboard K760 is hopefully the first in a long line of Mac friendly products that run on solar power (either from direct sunlight or lamplight) and emulate the sleek, simple designs that are so loved by Mac users.

Rating: Recommend*

As a child of the 80's, I've fond memories of the Nintendo Entertainment System, specifically the joys of pixelated 8-bit hunting playing Duck Hunt (that darn dog!). A similar joy can be had while arming yourself with Bitplay's "interactive object d'art", BANG!, a desk lamp that gives new meaning to "lights out!"... More

When living with light carpets and having kids and pets, dirt and stains seem to continually pop up and grow like mold patterns.

Product: Bose VideoWave Entertainment System
Price: $4,249
Rating: Recommend*

With so much of the focus in the TV market being on smart features connecting sets to the internet, it's interesting to see a company focus on audio. The Bose Videowave diverges from the usual stable of social and programming apps for a more dedicated effort towards excellent surround sound right out of the box, and that, was music to our small space dwelling ears.
