An affordable frame that’s pretty hue-less

The Blink Outdoor 4 is a brilliant home security camera for beginners, but it might leave users looking for an upgrade, disappointed.

A low-cost, easy-to-use digital photo frame with a toushcreen and simple companion app

Great if you can’t even be bothered to talk to people who come to the door.

The Roomba Combo Essential robot vacuum is cheap, cheerful, and delivers a decent clean.

If you can handle the large and ugly dock, the Dreame L40 Ultra is an almost-perfect hybrid robot vacuum.

The Pexar 11-inch Digital Picture Frame is bright, colorful, and has a higher pixel density than frames costing twice the price.

The Proscenic Q8 Max delivers a lot for its very affordable price tag.

It’s not the best-performing home security camera on the market but delivers satisfactory results for its budget cost.

Linxura’s smart controller is a fine idea, but one fundamentally troubled by its software and wider smart home ecosystem woes.
