Never have we seen such a fun and cheery design for a backyard barbecue grill. The Bodum Fyrkat Cone Charcoal Grill (about $195) takes barbecue design to new heights with a compact, stylish design that would easily suit the needs of a casual grill-master, particularly one who lives in a small space with just a patio or terrace for outdoor cooking. Designed to make your daily meat, seafood and poultry extra juicy and delicious, the Fyrkat grill has a conical base that is crafted from enamel-coated steel that comes in three bright colors as well as basic black. The grill also features an internal stainless steel spit rod that can be rotated by hand or with the help of an integrated, battery-powered motor. The spindly steel legs have rubber footing for traction and the grill includes two grill plates. Not the best grill for a backyard feast for 20, but add this to your daily dinner routine and you’ll be a happy camper with juicy meats and flavorful seafood.

The Google Home Speaker is impressive, until you look at the power cable

Sphere, Electronics, Speaker

The Google Home Speaker hasn't even started shipping yet, but one lucky buyer managed to grab one early and share their first impressions. While most of the news is positive, there's one detail that won't sit well with anyone who cares about repairability.

For the unaware, Google announced the speaker back in October 2025, and pre-orders went live last week. Priced at $99, it's the company's first new speaker in six years, so people have plenty of questions.

I went looking for the best Prime Day bargains on Google hardware, and these are the winners

Prime Day discounts are hitting everything from Pixel phones to Nest cameras and the Pixel Watch 4. After digging through the listings, these are the deals that stood out the most.

Google Pixel 10 vs Pixel 10 Pro

Some Prime Day deals feel like discounts in name only, but after digging through this year's sale, I found a few Google deals that are genuinely worth your attention. Several Pixel 10 models are seeing triple-digit price cuts, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is at its lowest price yet, and a few Nest products are available at prices that are actually hard to ignore. Whether you're looking for a new smartphone, smartwatch, streaming device, or smart home upgrade, these are the Google deals I'd recommend before Prime Day wraps up on June 26.

This Prime Day, Sylvox Is Offering Up To 28% Off Its Frameless Outdoor TVs

Sylvox's Prime Day sale offers discounts of up to 28% across its outdoor TV lineup, including the Frameless Series, Deck Pro 3.0, and Cinema Series.

Indoors, Interior Design, Appliance

Prime Day is often associated with upgrading devices inside the home, but some of the most interesting deals this year are focused on the spaces outside it. From June 23 to June 26, Sylvox is offering discounts of up to 28% on its Frameless Series Outdoor TVs, bringing down the cost of a category that has become increasingly relevant as homeowners invest more in their outdoor living spaces.

The timing reflects a broader shift in how backyards, patios, and decks are being used. What were once occasional gathering spots are increasingly functioning as extensions of the home, doubling up as entertainment areas, outdoor dining spaces, and even wellness zones. As these spaces evolve, homeowners are paying closer attention to the products they bring into them—not just in terms of performance, but also how they fit into the overall design.
