EcoFlow is responsible for some of our favorite eco-friendly energy solutions, including a battery-powered AC unit we used to turn a van into a portable office. Building on this unit’s success, EcoFlow has officially launched the Wave 3 — a powerful new portable AC unit — and the Glacier Classic — an electric cooler. Both devices make big improvements over their predecessors, giving you a convenient way to keep yourself (and your beverages) cool during epic summer adventures.

The EcoFlow Wave 3 is based on the existing Wave 2, though it incorporates over two years of user feedback into its final design. The portable unit both cools and heats spaces, and according to EcoFlow, it can lower temperatures of small spaces by 15 degrees in just 15 minutes. It packs in 1800W of cooling power and 2000W of heating power, and its built-in battery means it’s ideal for off-grid locations.

You’ll also find a 1024Wh LFP battery inside the Wave 3. This gets you up to eight hours of cooling in Eco Mode and a lifespan of 4,000 cycles. EcoFlow built the unit to run autonomously, as an Automatic Mode will swap between heating and cooling to keep your space at a consistent temperature, while a Dehumidification Mode helps prevent moisture buildup.

Pet owners will love the Pet Care Mode, as it allows the device to activate when vehicle temperatures surpass 77 degrees. It’ll even send an alert to the user, letting them know it’s time to get back to their car.

The Wave 3 supports AC power, solar, and car charging. It’ll charge in just 75 minutes and uses a new refrigerant that’s better for the environment (thanks to reduced CO2 emissions).

EcoFlow revealed the updated Glacier Classic electric cooler alongside the Wave 3 portable AC unit. Available in three sizes (35L, 45L, 55L), its 298Wh battery slot and overall design are said to make it up to 40% more space-efficient than typical battery-powered coolers. You’ll get up to 43 hours of cooling on a single charge, and there’s a removable dual-zone divider to help you organize all your perishables.

Pricing starts at $1,299 for the Wave 3. The Glacier Classic starts at $799. Both are now available to purchase on the EcoFlow website. We’ve enjoyed many EcoFlow products in the past — including the Delta Pro Ultra and Delta Pro 3 — so give these a look if you’re searching for an eco-friendly way to beat the heat this summer.

Remember Samsung’s Ballie home robot? It may finally be inching closer to reality
Leaked app wireframes give the strongest hint yet that Samsung's Ballie home robot, first shown at CES 2020, might still be headed toward an actual release.

Samsung's rolling home robot has been the industry's longest-running "will it ever actually ship" joke, and I'll admit I'd mostly given up on it. Now, there's finally a glimmer of hope.

Samsung first unveiled Ballie as a concept at CES 2020. Then, it showed it as a significantly upgraded version four years later. However, the company never confirmed a release date or committed to releasing it at all.

The US foreign-made robot crackdown is coming for future Roombas too
Future Roombas face new US sales hurdles, but existing models are unaffected

The FCC has already made it much harder for foreign drone makers such as DJI to bring new products into the US. Now, the same crackdown is reaching a machine far more likely to be moving around your living room.

The US government recently added foreign-made advanced robotic devices to the FCC’s Covered List. The announcement appeared focused on humanoids, robot dogs, and industrial machines, but an FCC spokesperson has confirmed to The Verge that robot vacuum cleaners are covered too.

The GOKO M6 Robotic Lawn Mower Brings Industrial Robotics to Modern Lawn Care
7 reasons this AI-driven powerhouse makes hands-free yard work smarter than ever
Grass, Lawn, Plant

Robotic lawn mowers can save homeowners hours of manual yard work, but not every model is designed for challenging properties. While many perform well on flat lawns, larger yards with uneven terrain, steep slopes, and multiple mowing zones require a mower built for more demanding conditions.

Developed by GOKO, the consumer robotics brand of Robot++, the GOKO M6 is an industrial-grade 4WD AI-powered robotic lawn mower that brings more than a decade of industrial robotics expertise to residential lawn care. It combines AI-powered four-wheel drive, advanced navigation technologies, and AI QuadVision obstacle detection to tackle complex landscapes with less manual intervention.
