Moen brings airport bathroom-level convenience to your kitchen faucet (in a good way!)

Moen MotionsenseIf you’ve often found yourself hand washing in an airport bathroom, thinking “Why doesn’t my kitchen faucet work like this?”, then Moen has a new faucet for you. And if you’ve often found yourself hand washing in an airport bathroom thinking, “Thank God my kitchen faucet doesn’t work like this,” never fear! Moen’s new MotionSense faucets do the standard automatic jobs one better by providing two separate sensors. The top-mounted Wave sensor activates when a hand is waved over the faucet, and keeps the water running until the gesture is repeated. The lower Ready sensor starts water flowing when an object is placed under the faucet, turning off automatically after the object is removed. The auto-on water temperature is adjustable on the under-sink control box, and can always be overridden by using the handle. The faucets operate on 6 AA batteries that Moen claims will last about a year with normal use; an AC adapter is also available if there’s power under the sink. The faucets are available in four different styles and several finishes to match any kitchen decor, and all feature Moen’s smooth operating Reflex pull-out sprayer.

If you’ve never found yourself thinking about your kitchen faucet while hand washing in the airport bathroom, Moen has plenty of perfectly normal faucets as well. Killjoy.

How to format the microSD card on Tapo security cameras
The Tapo C120 out in the rain.

One of the most compelling features of Tapo products (like the Wire-Free 2K Outdoor Cam and Indoor/Outdoor Cam) is support for local storage. Many Tapo security cameras let you install a microSD card, so you don't have to rely on cloud storage to save all your videos – instead, they're neatly stored right on your camera. Before you can start using local storage, however, you'll need to format your microSD card. Tapo has some pretty strict requirements for how this works, but the process itself is remarkably simple.

Ready to start saving all your video clips locally? Here's how to format the microSD card on your Tapo security camera.

Blink Mini 2 vs. Ring Stick Up Cam Pro: Which is the best security camera?
The Ring Stick Up Cam Pro on display the 2023 Amazon Fall Devices and Services event.

The Blink Mini 2 is one of the cheapest security cameras you can buy. It's pretty well-rounded too. It's capable of filming in HD and offering support for outdoor use when paired with an optional accessory, making it a great choice for shoppers on a budget. That makes it wildly different from the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro, which carries a hefty price tag and supports both indoor and outdoor use right out of the box without the need to purchase a secondary accessory.

But is the Ring Stick Up Cam Pro a better investment than the affordable Blink Mini 2? From pricing and video resolution to the installation process and additional features, here's a look at the Blink Mini 2 and Ring Stick Up Cam Pro to help you decide which is the best choice for your home.
