SEBO Felix Vacuum Converts From Upright to Canister Style

112009sebo-felix-vacuum1.jpgUpon first seeing the SEBO Felix Vacuum Cleaner, we found the fashion-influenced styling reminding us a little too much of our memories growin up around middle aged Korean golf enthusiasts dressed in Burberry sweaters (aka our aunts and uncles). But what we did like about these extremely light 10lbs. upright models is how they can convert from a vertical-use position to a light carry-type handheld.

H2Orb Monitors Toilet Leaks and Overflows

112009H2Orb-thumb.jpgIt's not much to look at, but the battery powered H2Orb from AquaOne Technologies is one of those devices that can prevent disasters from going from bad to downright, "empty your bank account" worse. The H2Orb senses toilet overflows and water leaks, sounding an alarm when either happens and automatically shuts off the water when disaster strikes.

Enlighten
Unplggd Test Lab

Name: case-mate Enlighten
Price: $79
Rating: Weak Recommend*

My Kindle 2 and I are rather inseparable. A late adopter to the digital book scene, I continue to be surprised at just how much I continue to love my Kindle 2 and use it 6 months after its purchase. So when the opportunity came to review a new accessory for the Kindle 2, the prototype of the Enlighten by case-mate, I jumped at the chance. The Enlighten is a case made of genuine leather in an Old English book style and is the first case on the market equipped with a LED powered light for nighttime reading as well as an interior side pocket for storage.

First Impressions: Netflix Instant Streaming on the PS3

We've been quite pleased since replacing our Apple TV with the slimmed down PS3 console as the heart of our media center, with a transition smoother than expected. The tipping point for the switch was mostly due to Apple's updates continually nixing our Boxee and XBMC modifications. But we also found ourselves drawn to moving over to the PS3 for greater media playing options, including the recently added feature in the PS3's arsenal: Netflix instant streaming. Our first week impressions below.

Music Hall PH25.2 Tube Hybrid Headphone Amplifier
Unplggd Test Lab

Product: Music Hall PH25.2 Tube Hybrid Headphone Amplifier
Price: $400
Rating: Recommend*

After massaging our ears with crisp, clear sound from Music Hall's DAC 25.2 last month, we've been on the lookout for a decent headphone amp ever since. Although we've had some cute encounters with Firestone's offerings, we wanted something bigger. Something with more power. And if possible, more tubes. Luckily, Music Hall made the job a breeze for us when they allowed us to test out their newest addition to their home audio product line; the PH25.2 Tube Hybrid Headphone Amp.
