Anker Solix just opened preorders for the upcoming EverFrost 2 Electric Cooler, and it looks like a rugged (and powerful) companion for your next outdoor adventure. Available in three sizes and designed to withstand the usual dings and dents of travel, it’s a premium device that’ll keep your food and drinks cold for up to 52 hours on a single charge.

If you’ll be out in the wild for an extended length of time, this can be doubled to 104 hours with an optional second battery pack. That’s a mindblowing number, and it makes the EverFrost 2 the longest-lastest battery-powered cooler money can buy. By comparison, the old EverFrost could run for up to 42 hours.

Anker Solix says the electric cooler will work 30% faster than traditional models and eliminates the need for ice. It’s quite versatile too, with a temperature range from -4 degrees Fahrenheit to 68 degrees Fahrenheit.

This impressive performance is driven by a compressor system that works in collaboration with a series of fans inside the cooler. According to its testing, Anker Solix says it’ll drop from 77 degrees to 32 degrees in just 15 minutes when the cooler is empty.

Aside from the cool tech and long battery life, the EverFrost 2 Electric Cooler comes with a few nice bonuses. You’ll find 60W USB-C and 12W USB-A ports on the cooler so it can serve as a power bank for your other gadgets, a fold-down tray that helps with meal prep, and a companion mobile app so you can monitor its performance. You can charge the cooler via solar, AC, car socket, or USB-C, giving you plenty of flexibility to juice it up before (or during) your trip.

The EverFrost 2 was built with longevity and durability in mind, and it’s equipped with two large 6-inch wheels for enhanced mobility. It’s also IPX3-rated to withstand the elements. The brand is known for developing gear that’s ideal for all sorts of extreme outdoor adventures, and the upcoming EverFrost 2 seems to follow that tradition.

Preorders are now open for the Anker Solix EverFrost 2 Electric Cooler ahead of its March 7 release. The 40L model costs $900 and the 58L costs $1,100. A third model (23L) will arrive on May 31 for $800. Early adopters can save $300 on their preorders and snag a free road trip kit bundled with various accessories. If you’re interested in picking up a second battery to boost its operating time to 104 hours, you’ll find them listed for $200.

Apple appears to be preparing a much broader push into smart-home hardware, with several new products in development as the company looks to expand beyond the HomePod mini and Apple TV, according to a 9To5Mac report.

The roadmap includes refreshed versions of both existing products, a new smart-home hub with a display, a larger HomePod update, and eventually Apple's first dedicated smart-home security devices. The information comes from recent reporting summarized by 9to5Mac, which notes that Siri's long-awaited AI upgrades could remove one of the obstacles that has held back new Home products.

Lutron just made it easier to control your smart home without touching your phone
Smart home voice control usually means buying yet another speaker or hub. Lutron and Sonos found a simpler fix: use the speaker you probably already own.
Electronics, Speaker, Text

If you’ve lost count of how many remotes and apps you juggle between just to dim a light or skip a song, I have something for you. Lutron just gave its Caseta smart home lineup a new shortcut, letting you control lights, shades, and Sonos playback with your voice alone.

For anyone who is catching up, Caseta is Lutron's do-it-yourself smart lighting system. It’s built around a small hub that basically talks to switches, dimmers, and plugs over a radio signal (instead of Wi-Fi), making it easier to manage the entire setup. While the company has worked alongside Sonos for a while, voice control was the one piece still missing from that partnership. That changes now.

The best smart home gym equipment
Find the connected fitness equipment that's worth your money.

The average workout doesn't begin with your first rep anymore. It begins with the data you've already collected. Smartwatches track your sleep and heart rate, smart rings measure recovery, and some fitness enthusiasts even use continuous glucose monitors to better understand how their bodies respond to training and nutrition. Smart home gym equipment builds on that foundation, combining connected hardware with AI-powered coaching, adaptive resistance, and long-term progress tracking to turn health insights into smarter workouts.

Smart fitness has also grown well beyond streaming workout classes. The latest machines can automatically adjust resistance as you get stronger, analyze your performance over time, and sync with the health devices you already use. Some even use AI to recommend workouts based on your goals and training history, making every session feel more personalized. If you're still deciding whether investing in connected fitness makes sense for your lifestyle, check out our guide on whether a smart home gym is worth it.
