High fashion and high-tech meet in Rebecca Minkoff #AlwaysOn luggage

By

You’ll soon be able to bring the same fashion you enjoy in your handbag to your travel bag. Here to introduce high fashion to high tech is Rebecca Minkoff and her eponymous fashion line, which has now expanded with a new set of #AlwaysOn power luggage. Slated to launch for pre-order on November 1, this line of connected suitcases seeks to create a “seamlessly connected travel experience” by integrating charging technology with a sleek, lightweight, and personalized carry-on roller bag. Effectively an extension of your personal style, this is one suitcase you might just want to bring around with you.

Meant for “the always-connected girl on the go,” these pieces of luggage come with a built-in 10,050mAh power bank that can charge your smartphone up to four times. The luggage also gives you the option to charge multiple USB-C and USB enabled devices simultaneously by way of the Rapid Charging power integration. Seeing as this is a “smart” bag, the luggage is also compatible with the Rebecca Minkoff  Travel Bluetooth Smart App, which gives you notifications about power bank power levels and the location of your bag. The app can also trigger your bag to sound a “Find Me” alarm should you ever misplace it.

Featuring a lightweight, polycarbonate hard-shell exterior, the suitcase also promises lifetime-warrantied smooth-glide wheels that spin in all 360 degrees, as well as a four-stop trolley-handle system that allows you to adjust the height of the bag as needed. And thanks to a TSA-approved luggage lock, you should be set on security, too.

To personalize your Rebecca Minkoff bag, you can grab a customization sticker pack, which includes cityscapes, emojis, and individual puffy letters. There are also monogrammable leather luggage tags, some of which come with a lightning cable to ensure ready-to-go iPhone charging.

The Rebecca Minkoff Travel #AlwaysOn luggage line will be available for pre-order on November 1, and the pieces will begin shipping on December 5, just in time for the holidays. Matte black will be the first color made available, but if that’s not quite your speed, rest assured that other options will be coming out in February 2018.

Beatbot reveals futuristic AquaSense 2 Series pool cleaners at CES 2025
Beatbot AquaSense 2

The original AquaSense Series was wildly popular when it hit the market in early 2024, and at CES 2025, Beatbot officially revealed its successor, the AquaSense 2 Series. Consisting of three robotic pool cleaners and starting at $1,500, Series 2 models are designed to automate all aspects of pool cleaning. The high-end AquaSense 2 Ultra even incorporates AI technology into the mix, promising a superior clean.

AquaSense 2 is the most affordable of the trio at $1,499, yet the three-in-one pool cleaner is still pretty well-rounded. It can clean floors, walls, and the waterline, and can run for up to four hours before needing a recharge. Toss in obstacle detection, four unique cleaning modes, and an array of 16 sensors, and it’s well-suited for most pools.

Nanoleaf reveals three smart lights, plus a spooky LED face mask at CES 2025

Nanoleaf revealed a bunch of new products at CES 2025. Along with the usual lineup of smart lights, it also debuted an LED Light Therapy Face Mask, marking the brand’s first foray into the wellness industry. Like most light therapy masks, the one from Nanoleaf looks a bit terrifying. But since it’s an advanced Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Level 2 certified skincare device, it’ll likely become a popular choice among shoppers.

The Nanoleaf LED Light Therapy Face Mask is now available for preorder and costs $150. That makes it much more affordable than other devices, which can climb over $500. Despite the low price, it’s packed with useful features. This includes clinically proven red and Near Infrared Light (NIR) treatments to reduce fine lines, acne, and uneven skin tone, as well as stimulate collagen production.

The Dreame X50 Ultra robot vacuum can hop over small obstacles with ease
Dreame X50 Ultra

Robot vacuums offer a lot of convenience — provided you only need to clean one level. If an area is separated by steps, the robot needs a bit of help getting from one elevation to another. The Dreame X50 Ultra, the newest flagship vacuum from Dreame, has a lift system that allows it to climb over small steps up to 6 centimeters (about 2.36 inches) in height. The ProLeap System is among the first of its kind, with levers that let it hop over obstacles like cords, transition strips, and much more.

The Dreame X50 Ultra also comes with the VersaLift Navigation System that lets it drop low enough to clean under furniture like beds and couches. It drops the turret — the round part on top of the robot — and uses its onboard cameras to navigate around and avoid obstacles. With a clearance of 89mm, the Dreame X50 Ultra is the limbo champion of robot vacuums. It recognizes more than 200 potential obstacles and navigates around them.
