Temperature is . Whether you’re searing steaks and burgers or slow smoking brisket, you need an accurate reading of both your grill’s heat levels and the internal temperature of your food. There are tons of options, from instant-read thermometers to probe-based devices that keep tabs on your cook the entire time. Of the latter, some are wired and some are wireless, and the lack of cords criss-crossing your grates can be a real upgrade.Wireless grilling probes aren’t new, but they are for a big name in grill thermometers . ThermoWorks, the company behind the popular Thermapen, finally debuted its take…

Traeger Woodridge review: A big upgrade for the entry-level pellet grill

stp2y0 CommentsNewsgear, grilling, home, kitchen tech, review, traeger

Grill companies are taking a different approach in 2025. Instead of refining premium smart pellet models and adding even more features, they’re aiming to provide a solid outdoor cooking experience for less money than usual. Weber did so with the Smoque earlier this week and now Traeger is following suit. With the Woodridge series, Traeger offers an all-new look and simplified controls, and even the most affordable option is equipped with Wi-Fi connectivity. Plus, you can upgrade them all with additional accessories.The regular Woodridge is the cheapest option of the new trio. At $800, it’s the same price as the…

stp2y0 CommentsNewsCES 2025, gear, home buyer, home theater, LG, projector, review

Companies have been smashing together multiple gadgets into one product for a long time, and there are plenty of examples at CES 2025. However, LG's latest projector, the PF600U, which is a mash up of a projector, a lamp and a Bluetooth speaker may be one of the few compelling examples of the genre. If nothing else, the device could allow you to hide your A/V gear in plain sight within a floor lamp when you're not using it. LG intends for it to be tucked away in a living space, at the end of couch or behind an end…

I've lost count of the number of things we reviewed this year at Engadget. In 2024, the types of products we tested ranged from the typical phones, laptops and headphones to AI wearables, robotic lawnmowers and handheld gaming consoles, alongside games and shows. It can feel hard to keep track of it all, but thankfully, our scoring system helps us highlight the best (and the worst) devices each year.Our team of reviewers and editors evaluate products based on their performance, value and how they hold up against the competition, and at least two people weigh in on every score before…

I won't be writing for days where I'm not actively doing anything. This is one of those days. This is also where I'll be listing the passing rate results that I'd collect every day to not bombard the feed. But I did answer two practice exams. There's progress (ha) but my scores are still far from the passing percentage.

Intel Arc B580 review: The new king of $250 GPUs (for now)

stp2y0 CommentsNewsgaming, gear, GPU, Intel, pc, processor, review

When Intel debuted its first Arc video cards two years ago, I was more than a little skeptical. Could a company that famously gave up on its last major desktop GPU project in 2009 actually make a dent in a market dominated by NVIDIA and AMD? Well, when I reviewed them in 2022, the Arc A750 and A770 turned out better than I thought, though they were also held back by Intel's poor drivers. But it seems Intel has learned from its mistakes.The new $250 Arc B580 performs better than AMD's low-end Radeon 7600, and it can even tangle a…

PlayStation 5 review (2024): A smaller console with a bigger game library

stp2y0 CommentsNewsgaming, playstation, PS5 Slim, review, Sony

With over 60 million PS5s sold, Sony is so far dominating this generation of game consoles. Four years since the PlayStation 5 debuted, the company has rounded out its gaming lineup with the refined PS5 Slim (both with and without a disc drive) and the more powerful (and expensive) PS5 Pro.At possibly the console’s midlife, up against the Xbox Series S and X, ever-increasingly powerful gaming PCs, and Nintendo’s Switch, it’s a good time to reassess what the PS5, in pole position, is doing to hold gamers’ attention spans and why the PS5 Slim is probably the right way to…

Samsung Galaxy Chromebook Plus review: Quirky in ways both good and bad

stp2y0 CommentsNewschromebook, chromeos, Computing, gear, gemini, laptops, review, Samsung

It’s been a few years since Samsung took a crack at making a premium Chromebook. In 2020, the company released the first Galaxy Chromebook, a $999 laptop with a gorgeous 4K OLED screen that barely lasted five hours away from a charger. The company fixed some issues with its 2021 model, which had a more pedestrian screen and a thicker design while costing $300 less — a fair compromise given that battery life was significantly better.Since then, Google has also launched the Chromebook Plus initiative, which aims to standardize Chromebook specs to give people a more consistent experience. And now,…

Formovie Cinema Edge review: A midrange UST projector that lags behind its rivals

stp2y0 CommentsNewsCinema Edge, Formovie, gear, laser, projector, review, ultra short throw

Formovie’s Theater took the projector world by storm when it first arrived, offering a triple laser, 150-inch ultra short throw (UST) image and Dolby Vision for $3,000. That was a relatively unheard of price for such a feature set, especially from a brand that hardly anyone knew about.That model helped make Formovie’s name, but $3,000 is still pretty expensive for a projector. To appeal to more buyers, the company recently unveiled the $1,800 Cinema Edge, a far more affordable option that still offers a laser light engine, sharp 4K image, Google TV for streaming and 15-watt stereo speakers.There are some…
