The SteelSeries Arctis 9 have a somewhat imbalanced sound profile out-of-the-box. They’re missing a bit of low bass, so some sound effects and bass-heavy music genres may lack thump and rumble. While their mids are mostly flat and neutral, they have an uneven treble response that results in a lack of detail and clarity. This…
The TCL 3 Series is a very basic 720p TV with poor overall performance. The built-in Roku TV is easy-to-use and there's a large selection of apps available to download, so you don't have to worry about buying an external box for streaming. It has a VA panel that provides a great contrast ratio, but…

The Shark UltraCyclone Pet Pro+ is a better handheld vacuum for cleaning pet hair than the BISSELL AeroSlim. The Shark is easier to maintain, it has a larger dirt compartment, and it comes with a turbo brush with a self-cleaning brushroll. It also has a significantly better performance on all surface types. However, some users may…
The KitchenAid KHBBV53 has a sub-par build quality. The motor body is made of plastic, while the blending shaft is made of stainless steel. The two pieces connect using shaft clips on the motor body, which doesn’t feel very premium. It also has a plastic motor base transmission and we noticed a black, oily residue…
While the SteelSeries Rival 3 Wireless has a very wide CPI range, unfortunately, it can only be set by increments of 100, which isn’t as precise as some other options. However, it has a very high polling rate, and you can adjust it lower to 125Hz, 250Hz, or 500Hz. Unfortunately, the CPI undershoots the set…
The Vizio V51-H6 has a good selection of sound enhancement features. It offers four EQ presets to help you adjust the bar’s sound to your liking: ‘Movie’, ‘Music’, ‘Direct’, and ‘Game’. There’s a dialogue enhancement feature to help make voices sound clearer and more crisp, and a TruVolume feature that provides a consistent volume level…
We tested the 65″ Vizio M7 Series Quantum 2020 (M65Q7-H1), and we expect our results to be valid for the 50″ (M50Q7-H1) and the 55″ (M55Q7-H1) models. It’s a variant of the Vizio M8 Series Quantum 2020, which we’ve also tested. They’re very similar overall, but there are some differences, such as the number of local…
The Ninja Foodi Power Pitcher System also makes a fantastic smoothie using its 14-ounce Nutri Bowl Jar. Using its ‘Extract’ mode, it makes a silky smoothie in under two minutes, but it can taste a little grainy. Using the 72-ounce main jar on the ‘Smoothie’ mode, it produces a thick and foamy smoothie. On the upside,…
The Vizio OLED’s SDR peak brightness is unremarkable, similar to the LG BX OLED. It gets bright enough to combat some glare but large areas get noticeably more dim due to the aggressive ‘Automatic Brightness Limiter’ (ABL). If you leave a static image on the TV for more than five minutes the screen automatically dims…
