Elvis & Kresse dopp kit ups your manly factor with fire hose materials

One of many things that us ladies have figured out over the years is that keeping all of your toiletries and bathroom goods in one place makes life a whole lot easier. Even if you’re a guy and you think you really only need your toothbrush and deodorant close at hand, you probably have more products and tools than you think. It takes more than a toothbrush to look groomed and sharp for the ladies, or your morning business meeting. So, if you’re not on the bandwagon yet, all you need is what we call a dopp kit to keep your things in one place. We particularly like the Fire Hose Wash Kit by Elvis & Kresse ($89), which is made from decommissioned British fire hose more than 30 years old.

Every wash kit is unique and many still bear marks of fighting fires in the UK. The zip-top bag is (obviously) waterproof and features an internal pocket and military-grade parachute silk lining. Not only will this wash kit up your manly-man factor (what’s more masculine than a firefighter?), but it’s made from recycled materials so you get eco-conscious bonus points, too. As if you aren’t convinced already, 50 percent of the profits are donated to the British Fire Fighter’s Charity. Now that’s a good lookin’ dopp kit.

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.
