Tree Effects Tabletop Light Show Tree

Don’t have room in your studio apartment for a Christmas tree? This year, you have nothing to fear — that is, if you have a Tree Effects Tabletop Light Show Tree. Sure, it is something of a mouthful but the product makes up for its loquacious name with a whole host of features, including 50 full-color effects, changeable light caps, and a remote control.

Promising to be the “ultimate tabletop tree” perfect for city dwellers who either don’t have room for a full fir (or simply don’t want to deal with that mess), this little bundle of joy can light up an apartment, office, or just your room not only during the holidays, but whenever you need a little sparkle in your life.

Whereas most traditional pre-lit trees have just a few options when it comes to lighting (which is to say, all on or all off), Tree Effects differentiates itself by allowing you to control each and every LED independently. And to keep you from having to fiddle around with a lot of complicated controls, Tree Effects promises that you can control everything and put on a light show with a remote.

Thanks to the tree’s full-spectrum LEDs, you have access to “millions of vivid colors,” the team promises on its Kickstarter page. When various holidays roll around, you can also change out the pixel caps so that your tree can be adorned with snowflakes, pumpkins, stars, or something else altogether. As the project raises more and more money, the team hopes to add more of these pixel caps.

With two and a half weeks left in the Kickstarter campaign, Tree Effects has already raised more than $11,000 and you can get your own tabletop tree in time for Halloween for $49.

How to reset the Nanoleaf Skylight

The Nanoleaf Skylight lighting up a room various shades of purple.

The Nanoleaf Skylight is a unique piece of hardware. Unlike most Nanoleaf products that are quick to install or easy to move and replace, the Skylight is designed as a permanent fixture in your home. Instead of simply plugging it into an electrical outlet, you'll need to hardwire it onto your ceiling – and once it's in place, you'll want it to stay there for years.

However, like all electronics, it's possible for your Nanoleaf Skylight to start acting up. And since there's no easy way to get the entire unit down from your ceiling, you might be wondering how you can quickly solve the problem. Thankfully, Nanoleaf designed a simple way for you to reset the Nanoleaf Skylight without the need to disassemble the entire setup.

Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra vs. Narwal Freo X Ultra: Which is the best premium robot vacuum?

Narwal Freo X Ultra with dock in home

Few robot vacuums and mops are as well-rounded as the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Narwal Freo X Ultra. The two premium robots will vacuum and mop entirely on their own, before returning to their docks to automatically clean their mopheads and empty their dustbins. That sort of functionality doesn't come cheap, with both products carrying hefty price tags that'll put a big dent in your budget.

Because they're so expensive, you'll want to pay close attention to the differences between these two robot vacuums. Both are great additions to any household, but one might be a better fit for your needs than the other.

Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra vs. Roborock S8 Max Ultra: Which is the better robot vacuum?

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra placed in its dock.

The Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Max Ultra are two of the newest additions to the Roborock family. Along with having almost identical names, these robot vacuums share much of the same spec sheet -- including the ability to mop and vacuum in a single cycle before automatically emptying their dustbin and cleaning their mops. They're impressive gadgets by all accounts, but since they're wildly expensive, you'll want to carefully compare the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra and Roborock S8 Max Ultra before adding one to your home.

If you need help, here's a comprehensive look at these two premium robot vacuums, including a comparison of their vacuuming and mops skills, a look at their docking station perks, and a final determination of which is likely best for your needs. Keep in mind that you really can't go wrong with either product -- after all, they're two of the most expensive robots in the category -- but one might be a slightly better fit for your household than the other.
