My last attempt at cooking pizzas in an outdoor oven wasn't overly successful. The Ninja Woodfire Oven is an impressive outdoor appliance, but it's bulk and door can make it a little challenging to place and remove a pizza. Gozney knows more about making pizza than I ever will, and has just announced its latest addition to its gas-powered pizza range. The Arc Lite is a compact extension of the popular Gozney Arc series, specifically designed for those with limited outdoor space. Whether you are working with a small apartment balcony or a rooftop terrace, this oven aims to deliver professional-grade results without the footprint of a permanent installation. Despite its smaller stature, it still manages a top temperature of 500ºC, which is apparently the magic number for achieving a proper Neapolitan-style crust. It uses Gozney’s signature lateral rolling flame, which mimics the environment of a traditional wood-fired oven by arcing heat over the top of the pizza. At just 12kg, the Arc Lite is significantly more portable than its larger siblings, making it easier to move between storage and your cooking area. Gozney has also prioritised ease of use with a simplified gas connection and a front-facing control dial for managing the flame. > "Everyone deserves to experience cooking with real fire. That’s where Arc Lite comes in," said Tom Gozney, Founder and CEO of Gozney. > > "It’s compact, powerful, and easy to use. You can place it on a balcony or take it to your mate’s, and it still kicks out the same flame and heat as our bigger ovens," he said. The oven features a fully insulated body to maintain steady performance even in breezy outdoor environments. It is finished in an "Off Black" colourway, keeping with the sleek, modern aesthetic the brand has become known for. ## Pricing and availability The Gozney Arc Lite will be available for purchase in Australia from 3 March. It will set you back $649 RRP and will be available directly from Gizney's online store and selected retailers.

Premium robot vacuums are launching faster than I can keep up, and they all look impressive on paper. Roborock's latest addition is the Qrevo Edge 2 Pro, which uses 100ºC hot water to clean the vacuum's mop pads, so you know things are nice and clean. Beyond the high-temperature washing, the Edge 2 Pro is designed to tackle the dust and allergens that hide in hard-to-reach places. It features an ultra-slim 7.98cm profile, made possible by a retractable LiDAR system that tucks away when the robot needs to slide under low-clearance furniture like sofas and beds. The hygiene focus extends to the Multifunctional Dock 3.0, which doesn't just wash the pads at 100°C, but also uses the same high-temperature water to clean the dock base itself. This is followed by a 55°C warm air drying cycle to prevent the growth of bacteria and unpleasant odours. When it comes to raw power, the Edge 2 Pro delivers a massive 25,000Pa of suction, which is a significant jump over previous models. To manage the inevitable hair tangles in Australian homes with pets, it employs a DuoDivide main brush and a FlexiArm side brush designed to guide hair directly into the suction inlet. The robot is also remarkably capable of navigating around a busy home. Its AdaptiLift Chassis allows it to scale thresholds and obstacles up to 4cm high, which is handy for moving between different floor types or over thick rugs. Not quite as high as the Dreame Aqua10's 6cm lift, but still solid. The Reactive AI system can also recognise over 200 types of common household objects, meaning you won't have to tidy up cables or shoes before a cleaning run. ## Pricing and availability The Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 Pro has an RRP of $2,799. It will be available in Australia from February 17, 2026, and you can find it through the Roborock official online store and selected retail partners.

One of the reasons I like robot vacuum cleaners so much is that they mean I don't have to do too much in the way of manual cleaning. I'm a big believer in working smarter, not harder. Shark is latching onto that idea too, with its latest steam cleaner. The SteamSpot Steam Mop (try saying that three times quickly) does away with detergent and uses steam to help you clean your home. Shark’s new lightweight mop, weighing in at just 2.2kg, is designed to make those manual interventions as painless as possible. Using "Steam Blaster" technology, the mop delivers a concentrated burst of steam directly onto tough grime with the press of a button. According to Shark, it promises to lift stuck-on stains up to 50% more effectively than a standard steam mop. It’s an chemical-free solution that relies entirely on water, which Shark says can sanitise your floors by killing up to 99.9% of common household bacteria. This makes it a compelling option for households with pets or young children crawling around. The SteamSpot offers three distinct cleaning modes: Low for quick refreshes, Medium for your standard weekly clean, and High for deep-cleaning sessions. It also comes with reusable "Dirt Grip" pads that are machine-washable, meaning you won't be constantly buying disposable refills. Given the popularity of the brand's cordless vacuums (like the Cordless Detect Pro) in Australia, this new addition feels like a logical step for Shark. Just remember that it's really only for those wanting to round out their cleaning cupboard with something focused on hard floors like tile, stone, or sealed timber. ## Pricing and availability The Shark SteamSpot (model S2001ANZ) has an RRP of $299.99. It is available now through Shark’s official Australian website and at major local retailers including Myer and Harvey Norman.

Quick Verdict The Aqua10 Ultra Track S delivers on its promise of superior mopping with genuine innovation in obstacle climbing, but the premium price tag and bulky dock mean it's only worth it if you have challenging floor layouts and serious mopping needs. ✓ Pros * TrackSync hot water mopping system is exceptional * 6cm obstacle climbing handles thresholds other robots can't * Powerful 30,000Pa suction with zero-tangle brush design * Comprehensive self-cleaning with 100°C hot water and UV sterilisation ✗ Cons * Robot's dustbin is compact and gets clogged * Premium pricing at $2,999 puts it above many competitors * Battery may not quite last a full home clean on some settings * Overkill if you don't have complex floor layouts or heavy mopping needs RRP: $2,999 * * * It surprised me somewhat to discover that it has been a couple of years since I last reviewed a Dreame robot vacuum. It surprised me even more to discover how far the technology has come in that time. The last model I tested was the L10s Pro Ultra Heat. While it did a good job of vacuuming, within two weeks the roller brush had been torn to shreds by the long hair it had collected on the job. The Aqua10 Ultra Track S is years beyond the models I’d previously tested. And as the name suggests, the key development comes in the robot vacuum’s mopping performance. But is it enough to be considered one of the best robot vacuums in Australia? Let’s find out. ## What makes the Aqua10 Ultra Track S stand out? Dreame has packed a lot of tech inside this robot vacuum, so it’s difficult to determine where to start talking about it. Given my previous experiences, the biggest development here for me is the upgrade to a detangling combination of vacuum brushes. Rather than a single roller brush, Dreame has a two roller system that’s designed to avoid tangles. But for most people, the mop is likely to be the bigger selling point. Dreame has updating its mop to a track roller system, which constantly applies 45ºC hot water to the roller via 24 nozzles, and scrapes off the dirty mess as it goes. It’s flat, oblong design allows it to apply more floor pressure for better cleaning, while also sitting a bit wider than previous mops. While it’s not really an issue I’ve ever encountered reviewing robot vacuums in my home, the Aqua10 Track S also has an innovative system for clearing obstacles. Two small legs can be popped out of the vacuum to allow it to clear obstacles as high as 6 cm. And with that also comes increased suction power, up to 30,000 Pa, and an elegantly designed multi-functional dock, which has a unique finish on the front. The dock will also wash the vacuum’s mop pad in 100ºC hot water before using 50 degree hot air to dry it. So collectively, a specification powerhouse. How does it perform, though? ### Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Track S specs Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Track S Specifications --- **Vacuum Dimensions** | 350 x 350 x 97.5mm (retracted LDS) **Robot Vacuum Weight** | 5.5kg **Base Station Dimensions** | 420 x 440 x 500mm **Base Station Weight** | 10.9kg **Maximum Suction** | 30,000Pa **Obstacle Crossing Height** | 6cm (double-layer step), 4.2cm (single-layer step) **Navigation** | VersaLift DToF **Obstacle Avoidance** | AI Camera x2 + Lateral 3D Structured Light + LED Lights **Main Brush Type** | HyperStream™ Detangling DuoBrush **Battery Capacity** | 6,400mAh **Dust Box Capacity** | 220ml **Clean/Used Water Box (Robot)** | 160ml / 150ml **Clean/Used Water Tank (Dock)** | 4L / 3.5L **Auto Mop Cleaning** | ✓ (100°C hot water) **Hot Air Drying** | ✓ (50°C) **Voice Control** | Built-In & Third-Party (Alexa, Google, Siri) **Auto-Empty** | ✓ (3.2L dust bag, up to 100 days) **Main Brush Lifting** | ✓ **Side Brush Lifting/Extending** | ✓ **Mop Extending** | ✓ **Dirt Detection & Re-mopping** | ✓ (multi-spectrum) **Auto Solution Refill** | ✓ **Auto Tank Water Refill** | ✓ ## Design and build quality While most robot vacuums all tend to look the same, Dreame has managed to make the Aqua10 Ultra Track S look a bit more refined than many competitors. The vacuum itself bears a matte black finish, which is matched by _most_ of the charging dock. The top half of the dock, however, has a marbleised gold and grey finish, which makes me think of elegant European kitchens. The water tanks are tucked away under the lid, and the vacuum bag and cleaning solution sit behind an easily removable panel on the front. The vacuum itself looks much like every other robot vacuum on the market. Dreame has designed the head to retract, giving the vacuum a sleeker look when docked or the vacuum is getting under furniture. There’s a single side brush on the Aqua10, paired with the twin main rollers underneath, which are designed to avoid tangles. The back of the unit houses the mop pad, which is a flat track style like the Narwal Freo. The vacuum’s dustbin is quite small at just 220 ml, which does create some problems. But you get the impression it needs to be to house both the clean and dirty water tanks on board. ## Cleaning performance The first week of testing the Dreame Aqua10, I was confident it was destined for the top of my best robot vacuum list. Having tested this just after the Narwal Freo, I’m convinced that the track style mop is the best way to tackle mopping on a robot vacuum. While robot vacuums won’t typically accelerate to maximum suction unless you tell them to, I found that the Dreame’s motor did a really solid job of pulling up dirt, dust, and debris from my floors. At least at first. After a few weeks of daily cleans, I started to notice that crumbs were left scattered on my floor. Another week later, I found a massive ball of dust on my floor, left behind from the vacuum itself. The issue – as far as I can see it – is that the shape and capacity of the Aqua10’s on-board dust bin doesn’t allow for easy emptying. There are narrow channels where the dust and fluff easily gets stuck, particularly if you have carpets through your home. Over the course of the 3 months or so I’ve been testing this vacuum, I’ve had to manually empty the dustbin in the vacuum multiple times. Even though it’s supposed to auto-empty into the base-station’s dust bag, either the base’s suction power is insufficient or the design of the vacuum’s dust container is too awkward to let that happen. When the vacuum’s dustbin is empty, suction is great and cleaning performance shines. But if it’s full, it’s disappointing. On the plus side, the mopping capability here is fantastic. The combination of hot water cleaning and the track mop style meant that my floors felt great after the Aqua10 had done its job. Not only is the mopping great, I can’t really fault the obstacle avoidance, either. Even with the house left fairly messy (I have teenagers), the Dreame never got tangled while navigating the house. This is particularly impressive given how even a couple of years ago, I had to really clean up around the home before sending a robot vacuum out. ## Ease of use Setting up and controlling the Aqua10 is straightforward with the Dreame Home app. The mapping capabilities here were fantastic. I’ve struggled recently with robot vacuums that don’t detect bedroom doorways or carpeted floors in my home, but Dreame’s software did it first time. I still needed to make a few tweaks to the map to get it just right, but that’s the challenge you face when you live in an open-plan home Once the map is just right, cleaning your home is straightforward. You can set it up on a schedule to clean at a regular time every day, or run ad hoc cleans to tidy up after you make a mess. The Aqua10 also has Matter support, which means you can control it using Apple HomeKit, Google Home or Alexa voice controls. That HomeKit support allows for some useful automations. Have a scene set up to start cleaning when you leave home, and finish cleaning when you arrive (if it’s still going). Of course, the one area that Dreame hasn’t solved (though neither has any other brand) is how to best deal with the barrel of disgusting that is the dirty water tank. My only advice is to empty it after every use, before it has the chance to fester. If only I followed my own advice. ## Power and battery There’s a good-sized 6,400 mAh battery in the Aqua10 Ultra Track S. Under most conditions, it should get through cleaning a 3-bedroom home on a single charge. I did find that running it on a deeper clean, mop after vacuum setting drained the battery before it had finished. It didn’t take too long to charge up enough to finish the job – everything was always done by the time the kids came home from school. If you can manage to set the Aqua10 up on a routine to clean when you aren’t at home, it’s all the better. ## Verdict I took a little longer writing this review than normal because I wasn’t sure about the vacuum’s cleaning ability. While it started strong, after a few weeks the robot’s dust bin started clogging up, needing manual intervention to let the vacuum continue cleaning properly. It’s an issue, definitely. You buy a robot vacuum so you don’t have to touch the dustbins, right? But compared to the L20 Ultra and the L10S and their rubber brush issues, I actually think there’s enough on offer from the Aqua10 that manually checking and emptying the dust bin isn’t too much trouble. Especially when you get a powerful, refined vacuum with some of the best mopping and mapping I’ve experienced in a robot vacuum before. I could go a couple of weeks after cleaning the dustbin before realising it was blocked again. It’s not a cheap vacuum, by any stretch. But for a premium product, it’s got the looks and a lot of the performance. **Buy the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Track S if you:** * Want a stylish looking base station to fit with your decor * Have a lot of hard floors that require the best mopping * Have 5 cm ledges, you need a robot vacuum to step over **Skip the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Track S if you:** * Absolutely refuse to empty the dustbin from a robot vacuum * Don’t want to invest in a premium-price vacuum * Aren’t too fussed about having mop rollers washed and dried with hot water/air ## Frequently Asked Questions #### How high can the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Track S climb over obstacles? The Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Track S can climb over obstacles up to 6 cm high on double-layer steps and 4.2 cm on single-layer steps. It uses an innovative climbing system with two small retractable legs that pop out to help the vacuum clear tall thresholds and door jambs that would stop most other robot vacuums. #### Does the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Track S have good mopping performance? Yes, the mopping performance is exceptional. The Aqua10 features a TrackSync track roller mop system that continuously applies 45 °C hot water through 24 nozzles while scraping away dirt. The flat, oblong track design applies more floor pressure for deeper cleaning compared to traditional circular mop pads. The dock also washes the mop pad in 100 °C hot water and dries it with 50 °C hot air, ensuring genuinely clean mopping each time. #### Does the Dreame Aqua10 get tangled in hair? No, the Aqua10 Ultra Track S is designed to avoid tangles. It features Dreame's HyperStream Detangling DuoBrush system with twin counter-rotating rollers instead of a single brush. This design helps prevents hair from wrapping around the brushes, addressing a common problem with earlier Dreame models. The reviewer noted that even after weeks of testing, the vacuum navigated without getting tangled, even in messy conditions. #### What is the main issue with the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Track S? The main issue is the compact 220ml dustbin that tends to clog easily. The dustbin has narrow channels where dust and debris get stuck, particularly if you have carpets. This means you may need to manually empty the dustbin every few weeks, even though it offers auto-empty functionality. When the dustbin clogs, cleaning performance suffers and crumbs may be left behind until it's cleared. #### Is the Dreame Aqua10 Ultra Track S worth $2,999? The Aqua10 is worth the $2,999 price tag if you have challenging floor layouts with high thresholds, primarily hard floors requiring excellent mopping, and don't mind occasionally checking the dustbin. It offers premium features like 30,000Pa suction, 6 cm obstacle climbing, constant hot water mopping, and comprehensive self-cleaning. However, it may be overkill if you don't have complex floors or heavy mopping needs, and the dustbin clogging issue may frustrate those seeking truly hands-free operation. ### ### ###

Sony's over ear WH-1000 XM6 are one of the best pairs of headphones I've ever used. So it's probably a safe bet that the company's lates in-ear model, the WF-1000 XM6, is going to deliver the goods. The new WF-1000XM6 earbuds arrive with a clear focus on silence, boasting a 25 per cent reduction in ambient noise compared to the previous XM5 model. Sony says this improvement is driven by the new HD Noise Cancelling Processor QN3e and an upgraded array of four microphones on each bud. These updates specifically target mid-to-high frequency sounds, which are the typical distractions you find in busy cafes or during a commute. We often see tech get more powerful at the cost of size, but Sony has managed to go the other way here. The WF-1000XM6 body is approximately 11 per cent slimmer than the predecessor. The redesigned shape follows the natural curves of the inner ear, which should help reduce that "plugged-in" fatigue during long listening sessions. Connectivity also gets a meaningful upgrade with an antenna that is 1.5 times larger than before. This should help maintain a stable signal in crowded areas where Bluetooth interference is common. For those who use their buds for work, Sony has paired a bone conduction sensor with AI noise reduction to help isolate your voice from background chatter during calls. A spokesperson for the company noted that the 1000X series is dedicated to "unlocking the full potential of every song" by working with world-renowned sound engineers to ensure music is heard exactly as the creator intended. This includes support for 32-bit audio processing and a new driver unit designed to deliver deeper bass and clearer highs. Smart features are also getting a boost through a deeper integration with Google Gemini. You can now use Gemini Live for fluid, hands-free conversations to manage your calendar or brainstorm ideas without touching your phone. Finally, for those who prefer the over-ear experience, Sony is adding a new Sand Pink colourway to the existing WH-1000XM6 range. ## Pricing and availability The Sony WF-1000XM6 will be available in Australia starting February 2026. You will be able to pick them up in Black or Platinum Silver, while the over-ear WH-1000XM6 will also be available in the new Sand Pink finish. * **WF-1000XM6 RRP:** $499.95 * **WH-1000XM6 (Sand Pink) RRP:** $699.95 * **Australian Release Date:** February 2026

After first announcing it back in September last year, Dyson has this week launched its HushJet purifier in Australia. I think I want one. The Dyson HushJet Purifier is a notable departure from the brand’s signature loop-style "Air Multiplier" fans. Instead, it uses a sculptural nozzle inspired by jet engine aerodynamics to move high-velocity air while keeping noise to a minimum. It's designed to be small enough for a bedside table or desk but powerful enough to clean the air in rooms up to 100 m². We usually expect to change air filters every year, but Dyson claims the HEPA filter in the HushJet can last up to five years. This long-life electrostatic filter captures 99.97% of tiny particles like pollen and dust, while a separate carbon filter handles household odours and gases like nitrogen dioxide. The machine operates at just 24dB in Sleep mode, which is essentially a soft whisper. Even at full tilt, it is designed to suppress the turbulent "buffeting" noise common in smaller fans. > James Dyson said, "We have developed a way to smooth high speed airflow to minimise turbulence and reduce aerodynamic noise, allowing the Dyson Hushjet to deliver very high-volume airflow while generating minimal noise." On the smart side, the unit includes sensors that track air quality in real-time, displaying data on the machine or via the MyDyson app. It can automatically ramp up its speed when it detects pollutants and is fully sealed to ensure captured dust doesn't leak back into your room. ## Pricing and availability The Dyson HushJet Purifier Compact is available now in Australia for $549 RRP.

One of the hardest lessons of adulthood is that the nice things you buy will almost always end up stained or damaged. Shark's new StainForce cordless stain remover will help with the first category at least. The Shark StainForce is a cordless, handheld spot cleaner designed to tackle messes the moment they happen. Unlike traditional carpet cleaners that require heavy lifting and constant trips to the sink, this unit uses a "grab and go" design with no tanks to fill or outlets to find. It builds on the design of the Shark StainStriker, which I still argue is one of the best-named products of the decade. At just over 1kg, the StainForce is light enough to carry from the lounge room to the car. It uses a dual-formula spray that activates on contact, which Shark claims provides up to 30 times more stain-fighting power than their standard cleaning solutions alone. The cleaning process is straightforward: you suction up any initial liquid, spray the area to saturate the stain, and then use the built-in scrub tool to lift the mess. There's a dedicated crevice tool in the box, making it much easier to reach into the tight gaps of sofa cushions or car seats where crumbs and spills usually hide. While it's always nice to be able to clean up the mess itself, the worst part generally comes when you have to clean up the cleaning appliance. So I particularly like the inclusion of a "self-cleaning" mode here. After you’ve finished cleaning a mess, you can rinse the internal components with fresh water, ensuring the machine doesn't develop unpleasant smells between uses. ## Pricing and availability The Shark StainForce (HX100ANZ) is available now for an RRP of $249.

Just over a week after it announced its latest Reno smartphone, the Reno15 family, OPPO is back in my inbox with a new tablet and smartwatch. Both models offer more affordable access to the latest technology. Let's take a closer look at the new products: ## OPPO Pad 5: Built for the long haul The OPPO Pad 5 is a 12.1-inch tablet aimed squarely at students and remote workers who spend hours staring at a screen. It features a 2.8K "Eye-Comfort" display which has earned a TÜV Rheinland certification, which means it's designed to flicker less and emit lower levels of harsh blue light. This reduces the digital eye strain that usually kicks in during a long study session or Netflix binge. Under the hood, the tablet is powered by a massive 10,050mAh battery. OPPO claims this will get you through roughly 15 hours of video playback, which is more than enough for a flight from Sydney to Perth and back again. It also carries a 48-month "fluency" rating, suggesting the device should remain snappy and lag-free for at least four years of daily use. ### AI-powered productivity OPPO is leaning heavily into AI for its local tablet debut. The Pad 5 includes a "Circle to Note" feature, allowing you to circle text or images on one side of a split screen and instantly drop them into a note on the other. For those in meetings or lectures, the AI Recording Summary can transcribe different voices and condense an hour-long chat into a few bullet points. If you are a student, the Handwriting Formula Calculation can even recognise and solve maths equations as you write them with the optional OPPO Pencil 2R. ## OPPO Watch S: Slim design, serious health On the wearable front, the OPPO Watch S prioritises a "disappearing" feel on the wrist. At just 8.9mm thick and weighing 35g, it is significantly leaner than many bulky rugged smartwatches. Despite the slim profile, it houses a bright 3000-nit display, which ensures you can actually read your heart rate or pace while running under the harsh Australian sun. > “The series is designed to fit naturally into everyday use,” said Michael Tran, Managing Director at OPPO Australia. “From a more compact Pro design to creator-first camera features, long-lasting battery life and fast charging.” The watch is packed with flagship-level sensors, including an 8-channel heart rate monitor and a 16-channel blood oxygen sensor. A "60s Wellness Overview" allows you to take a quick one-minute snapshot of your ECG, stress levels, and heart health with a single tap. ## Pricing and availability The OPPO Pad 5 and Watch S are available now via the OPPO Australia Online Store. * **OPPO Pad 5 (Starlight Black):** $499 * **OPPO Watch S (Phantom Black, Silver Gleam):** $399 * **OPPO Pencil 2R:** $79 * * *

<p>After announcing it an <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/bttr-roundup-57/" rel="noreferrer">IFA last year</a>, Dyson has today launched its first vacuum and mop robot vacuum model, the Spot+Scrub AI in Australia.</p><p>I had the chance to <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/welcome-to-the-age-of-the-cyclonic-robot-vacuum-station/" rel="noreferrer">watch and follow the Spot + Scrub</a> at an event in Sydney last year, and I'm glad to see Dyson finally enter the fray with a competitive robovac.</p><p>Dyson has built the Spot + Scrub Ai to identify the surface it’s cleaning. Using a high-resolution camera and green laser-like illumination, the robot can spot nearly 200 types of household objects and stains.</p><p>Unlike traditional robots that might just smear a mess across the floor, this model can use AI to react in real-time. It is programmed to go over stubborn stains up to 15 times, checking its work with the onboard camera until the floor is clean.</p><p>Dyson has focused heavily on the hygiene of the mopping process. The system uses a 12-point hydration system to deliver fresh, heated water at 60ºC directly to a microfibre roller.</p><p>The roller cleans itself on every rotation, meaning the robot isn't just pushing dirty water around your living room. It also includes an extending mechanism that reaches 40mm into corners and skirting boards to ensure edges aren't missed.</p><p>On the vacuuming side, it remains a Dyson at heart. It uses 10 cyclones to separate dust and debris into a bagless bin, which can then be emptied hygienically at the dock.</p><blockquote>"When it detects a stain, the robot performs up to 15 focused cleaning passes over the area, using its HD camera to monitor until the stain is fully removed," said Jake Dyson, Chief Engineer at Dyson.</blockquote><p>The robot uses LiDAR scanning to map the home, which users can manage via the MyDyson app. This allows for specific zone cleaning or even spot cleaning where you can tell the robot exactly where a spill has occurred.</p><p>For those with pets or children, the software is designed to recognise and avoid common obstacles like socks, cables, and even pet waste. </p><p>The dock itself supports the machine for up to 100 days of debris storage before needing manual attention. Though from experience, you will not want to leave the dirty water tank that long. </p><h2 id="pricing-and-availability">Pricing and availability</h2><ul><li><strong>RRP:</strong> $1,999.</li><li><strong>Australian Release Date:</strong> 5 February 2026.</li><li><strong>Australian Retailers:</strong> Available at Dyson Demo stores and online at Dyson.com.au.</li></ul><p></p> <div class="bttr-where-to-buy"> <h3 class="bttr-wtb-title">🛒 Where to buy Dyson</h3> <p class="bttr-wtb-subtitle">Available from these trusted retailers:</p> <div class="bttr-retailers-grid"> <a href="https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/dyson" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/The_Good_Guys_logo_300x150.webp" alt="The Good Guys Logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/stores/Dyson/page/9B7ECE2D-048C-40BA-9315-9DC2432EF420" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/amazon-logo-300x150.webp" alt="Amazon logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.betta.com.au/dyson" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/betta-logo.webp" alt="Betta Logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.kogan.com/au/dyson/" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/Kogan_log_300x150.webp" alt="Kogan logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.ebay.com.au/str/dysonaustralia?srsltid=AfmBOoptKmOXw0IkvFdfjId5UdG2__ZyN-borLHsw8srvh7k3RW1N65j" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/ebay-logo_300x150.webp" alt="eBay Logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.dyson.com.au/" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/Dyson-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Dyson logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.davidjones.com/brand/dyson" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/David-Jones-Logo_300x150.webp" alt="David Jones logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.myer.com.au/c/home/featured-home-brands/dyson-brand" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/Myer-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Myer logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.bigw.com.au/brands/dyson" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/bigw-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Big W logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/brand/dyson/" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/appliancesonline-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Appliances Online logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.binglee.com.au/brands/dyson" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/bing-lee-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Bing Lee logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.retravision.com.au/dyson" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/Retravision_Logo_300x150.webp" alt="Retravision logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.jbhifi.com.au/pages/dyson" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/JB-Hi-Fi-brand_300x150.webp" alt="JB Hi-Fi logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.officeworks.com.au/brands/dyson" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/officeworks-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Officeworks logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.harveynorman.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=dyson" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/harvey-norman-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Harvey Norman logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> </div> <p class="bttr-wtb-disclaimer"> <small><em>BTTR is independent, but we may earn money when you purchase through links on our site.

<p>Roborock pitched me the information about this sale as a Valentine's Day sale. Sadly, I love my wife too much (and value my own life as well) to ever consider buying her a robot vacuum for Valentine's Day.</p><p>But if you want to save big on a robot vacuum, the deals here aren't half-bad.</p><h3 id="flagship-cleaning-with-the-saros-series">Flagship cleaning with the Saros Series</h3><p>The standout deal is on the <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/roborock-ces-2025-announcements/" rel="noreferrer">Saros Z70</a>, which has seen its price halved to $1,999. This is Roborock’s current flagship, featuring a massive 22,000 Pa suction power as well as its iconic mechanical arm. That arm will pick up all the junk your kids leave lying around their bedroom to give you a better clean, and the vacuum is slim enough to slide under most designer lounges.</p><p>The Saros 10 and 10R models are also heavily discounted. These models focus on "set and forget" maintenance, using a 10-in-1 dock that handles the dirty work of washing and drying the mops so you don't have to deal with damp, smelling fabric.</p><h3 id="precision-mopping-with-qrevo">Precision mopping with Qrevo</h3><p>For those with more hard floors than carpet, the <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/roborock-f25-ultra-qrevo-curv-2-flow/" rel="noreferrer">Qrevo range is the better target</a>. The Qrevo Edge and Edge C models feature high-temperature mop washing (75°C), which is far more effective at killing bacteria and shifting oily kitchen stains than cold water alternatives.</p><p>The Qrevo Curv 2 Flow and C Pro models have also been brought down to more accessible price points. These units prioritise obstacle avoidance, using sensors to "see" and navigate around forgotten shoes or pet messes, so you don't end up walking in on a dirty smear across your floors.</p><h3 id="wet-and-dry-handhelds">Wet-and-dry handhelds</h3><p>If you prefer to be more "hands-on," the F25 series provides a significant upgrade over a traditional mop and bucket. </p><p>These wet-dry vacuums, like the <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/roborocks-flexi-pro/" rel="noreferrer">F25 ACE</a>, use smart sensors to detect how dirty a floor is and adjust the water flow and suction automatically. It’s a much faster way to deal with spilled cereal or muddy footprints in the hallway.</p><h2 id="pricing-and-availability">Pricing and availability</h2><p>The Roborock Valentine’s Day sale is active now and runs until 4 March 2026.

<p>My first laptop was a hand me down ThinkPad with an 80 MB hard drive. That's not a typo – 80 <em>Megabytes</em>. Through university, I had to back up each report to floppy disk so there was enough storage space to write my next assignment.</p><p>Who would have thought that 20 years later, I'd be writing about WD's new 100TB+ hard drives?</p><p>The company formerly known as Western Digital has officially rebranded to WD, marking its transition into a specialist storage infrastructure provider for the AI-driven data economy. </p><p>At its 2026 Innovation Day, the company proved that while SSDs grab the headlines, the humble mechanical hard drive is undergoing a massive technical renaissance.</p><h3 id="the-road-to-100tb">The road to 100TB</h3><p>The main announcement is the new 40TB UltraSMR ePMR hard drive. Currently in the hands of major data centre customers for qualification, this drive is slated for volume production in the second half of 2026.</p><p>(Maybe it's just me, but I think they missed a trick by not calling it the WD40.)</p><p>WD isn't stopping there. By leveraging a tech called Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR), the company plans to scale these capacities to 60TB in the medium term, with a target of surpassing 100TB by 2029. </p><p>This dual-technology approach allows customers to choose between established ePMR tech and the newer HAMR standard depending on their specific infrastructure needs.</p><h3 id="closing-the-speed-gap">Closing the speed gap</h3><p>One of the biggest criticisms of high-capacity hard drives has always been the "speed bottleneck"—the more data you cram in, the longer it takes to find it. WD is addressing this with two new performance architectures: High Bandwidth Drive and Dual Pivot technology.</p><p>The High Bandwidth tech allows the drive to read and write from multiple heads simultaneously, effectively doubling the bandwidth. Meanwhile, the Dual Pivot design adds a second set of independent actuators. Together, these innovations aim to deliver up to four times the sequential IO performance, making mechanical drives far more viable for the massive data ingestion required by AI.</p><blockquote>"WD is challenging conventional storage assumptions and removing the complexity and cost barriers that limit AI-driven growth," said Ahmed Shihab, Chief Product Officer at WD. "Our capacity, performance, and power efficiency innovations are solidifying our position as the innovation partner for the AI-driven data economy."</blockquote><h3 id="power-efficiency-for-cold-data">Power efficiency for "cold" data</h3><p>As AI generates more "cold" data (information that needs to be kept but isn't accessed every second) power costs have become a major concern for data centres. WD’s new power-optimised HDDs are designed to use 20% less power than standard drives.</p><p>These drives are specifically built for deep storage tiers where energy efficiency is more important than raw random access speed, helping to lower the total cost of ownership for large-scale AI projects.</p><h2 id="pricing-and-availability">Pricing and availability</h2><p>While specific retail pricing for the 40TB consumer-facing variants has not been finalised, the 40TB UltraSMR drive is expected to enter volume production in late 2026.</p><ul><li><strong>RRP:</strong> Pricing is currently available to enterprise customers via quote; consumer RRP to be announced closer to the H2 2026 shipping date.</li><li><strong>Australian Release Date:</strong> Second half of 2026.</li></ul>

<p>I know next to nothing about beauty skin routines. I moisturise my face once a day, and that's about as far as I am interested to go. </p><p>But I know there are a lot of people turning to technology to help with their skincare regime, and those people will be excited by the news that Shark is bringing its CryoGlow under-eye cooling LED mask to Australia.</p><p>The device arrives on Australian shores following a massive run in the United States, where it currently sits as the top-selling facial skincare tool. It has already built a significant profile, boasting a fan base of high-profile influencers, alongside a "Best Invention" nod from <em>TIME</em> magazine. </p><p>While Shark is arguably better <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/shark-cordless-detect-pro-review/" rel="noreferrer">known locally for its vacuum cleaners</a>, <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/shark-turboblade-ultra-fan-review/" rel="noreferrer">fans</a> and hair stylers, this move suggests the brand is serious about becoming a major player in the high-end beauty tech space.</p><p>Apparently, the CryoGlow stands out from the sea of standard LED masks is the addition of active under-eye cooling. While the infrared LEDs supposedly target the deeper layers of the skin to boost collagen and smooth out fine lines, the cooling elements are designed to physically tighten and refresh the sensitive area under the eyes. </p><p>It essentially tries to combine a long-term clinical treatment for skin health with the immediate "wake up" effect of a cold compress.</p><p>Developed alongside dermatologists, the mask features four distinct treatment modes: Better Ageing, Skin Clearing, Under-Eye, and Skin Sustain. </p><p>Crucially for Australian consumers – and arguably the reason I'm writing this rather than archiving the press release – the device is included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG), providing a level of regulatory oversight that many cheaper, generic LED masks lack. </p><p>Clinical trials cited by the brand suggest that consistent users can see reduced fine lines within eight weeks, while those using the clearing mode for acne may see improvements in about a month.</p><p>Shark is clearly betting on the same local enthusiasm that saw its FlexStyle hair tool launch to a waitlist of over 12,000 people. A Shark Beauty spokesperson noted the brand's goal is to "bring salon-quality results to everyone," positioning the mask as a more accessible alternative to expensive professional clinic visits.</p><h2 id="pricing-and-availability">Pricing and availability</h2><ul><li><strong>RRP:</strong> To be confirmed (Full pricing will be revealed before sales begin).</li><li><strong>Release Date:</strong> March 2026.</li><li><strong>Retailers:</strong> Initially available via sharkclean.com.au and sharkbeauty.com.au</li></ul> <div class="bttr-where-to-buy"> <h3 class="bttr-wtb-title">🛒 Where to buy Shark</h3> <p class="bttr-wtb-subtitle">Available from these trusted retailers:</p> <div class="bttr-retailers-grid"> <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/stores/Shark/page/29B31092-CF82-4A49-B307-39707BC45C61" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/amazon-logo-300x150.webp" alt="Amazon logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/shark" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/The_Good_Guys_logo_300x150.webp" alt="The Good Guys Logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.kitchenwarehouse.com.au/brands/shark" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/kitchen-warehouse-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Kitchen Warehouse logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.kogan.com/au/shark/" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/Kogan_log_300x150.webp" alt="Kogan logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.ebay.com.au/b/Shark-Other-Home-Appliances/20715/bn_7116628980?srsltid=AfmBOorDjgAyH050Z-MmuI5DEhykRWUijbf_i4ykT8VczNB-m8DRlMN-" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/ebay-logo_300x150.webp" alt="eBay Logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://sharkclean.com.au/" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2026/01/Shark-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Shark logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.retravision.com.au/search?facet=manufacturer&amp;query=Shark" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/Retravision_Logo_300x150.webp" alt="Retravision logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.spotlightstores.com/shark" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/spotlight-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Spotlight logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.betta.com.au/shark" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/betta-logo.webp" alt="Betta Logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.myer.com.au/b/Shark" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/Myer-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Myer logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.binglee.com.au/brands/shark/" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/bing-lee-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Bing Lee logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.appliancesonline.com.au/brand/shark/" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/appliancesonline-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Appliances Online logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.harrisscarfe.com.au/shrk/SHRK" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/harris-scarfe-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Harris Scarfe logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.davidjones.com/brand/Shark" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/David-Jones-Logo_300x150.webp" alt="David Jones logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.jbhifi.com.au/collections/home-appliances/shark" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/JB-Hi-Fi-brand_300x150.webp" alt="JB Hi-Fi logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.harveynorman.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=shark" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/harvey-norman-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Harvey Norman logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> </div> <p class="bttr-wtb-disclaimer"> <small><em>BTTR is independent, but we may earn money when you purchase through links on our site.

Not only is there nothing else like it on the market, the Shark blows impressively well.</p><p>At its core, this is a pretty simple “tower” fan with a really ingenious design. With the main fan in vertical mode, the TurboBlade will help blow air around a room.</p><p>But with an intentional twist, the main fan will rotate to blow horizontally. Features like oscillation continue to work, and some dedicated low-noise modes make it a great partner on hot nights, blowing gentle air over you while you sleep to help you stay cool.</p><p>But it’s not just a horizontal or vertical choice. You can angle the main blade at any angle, and both sides of the fan’s blade arms can pivot a full 180 degrees. This gives unparalleled control of your air’s direction and power, even if some of that control is manual.</p><p>It also means you can have air blowing in two entirely different directions at the same time.</p><p>For anyone looking for an in-home fan that can do just about anything, the TurboBlade has a lot to offer.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2026/02/Shark-TurboBlade-Ultra-review--1.webp" class="kg-image" alt="The Shark TurboBlade Ultra in tower mode agains a wall with filtered light behind" loading="lazy" width="1500" height="844" srcset="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/size/w600/2026/02/Shark-TurboBlade-Ultra-review--1.webp 600w, https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/size/w1000/2026/02/Shark-TurboBlade-Ultra-review--1.webp 1000w, https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2026/02/Shark-TurboBlade-Ultra-review--1.webp 1500w" /></figure><h3 id="shark-turboblade-ultra-specs">Shark TurboBlade Ultra specs</h3> <table> <tbody><tr> <th>Specification</th> <th>Details</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Model</td> <td>TF202S</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Colour Options</td> <td>Charcoal, White</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Speed Settings</td> <td>10 speed settings</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Modes</td> <td>Natural Breeze, Breeze Boost, Oscillation</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Oscillation</td> <td>180°</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Wattage</td> <td>90W</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Weight</td> <td>6.5kg</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Dimensions (Vertical Mode)</td> <td>130 H x 25 W x 29.6 D cm</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Dimensions (Horizontal Mode)</td> <td>96 H x 80 W x 29.6 D cm</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Cord Length</td> <td>1.8m</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Airflow Range</td> <td>Up to 20 metres</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Warranty</td> <td>2 Year</td> </tr> <tr> <td>What's Included</td> <td>TurboBlade Tower Fan, Remote</td> </tr> </tbody></table> <h2 id="design-and-build-quality">Design and build quality</h2><p>Despite the fan having a plastic finish, Shark has managed to create an elegant looking appliance that is stylish as well as functional.</p><p>There are two colours available – I ended up with the black model for this review, and it combines well with the gold trims to look premium in the home.</p><p>From the moment you take the fan out of the box, it’s a simple experience. There is a little bit of assembly, combining the fan arms to the main tower.</p><p>One of the coolest features of the TurboBlade is just how flexible it is as a fan. By default, I mostly leave it in tower mode, with the two arms aligned vertically in the room.</p><p>As I’ve already mentioned, you can rotate from tower to horizontal fan mode easily. But you can also adjust the height of the fan by about 16 cm to help get the perfect height.</p><p>You can also rotate each of the arms a full 180 degrees, 90 degrees to the right and left of the front of the fan. The left and right arms can also be rotated independently, so you can have one pointing down and one pointing up when the fan is aligned horizontally.</p><p>While none of these movements are automated – you need two manually shift the direction every time – it does give you an incredible level of versatility. For example, in tower mode, you can stick the TurboBlade between two people and have it blow nice fresh air on both simultaneously, without needing oscillation.</p><p>The only real concern is that the entire fan is controlled by the supplied remote. It’s easy to use, but it does mean you will be in trouble if you ever lose that remote.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2026/02/Shark-TurboBlade-Ultra-review--4.webp" class="kg-image" alt="The TurboBlade with the fan at an angle and the arms rotated in opposite directions" loading="lazy" width="1500" height="844" srcset="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/size/w600/2026/02/Shark-TurboBlade-Ultra-review--4.webp 600w, https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/size/w1000/2026/02/Shark-TurboBlade-Ultra-review--4.webp 1000w, https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2026/02/Shark-TurboBlade-Ultra-review--4.webp 1500w" /></figure><h2 id="fan-performance">Fan performance</h2><p>Fans are designed to circulate air, and hopefully cool you down in the process. The TurboBlade Ultra has a few extra tricks up its sleeve.</p><p>At the most basic level, you get 10 levels of control over the fan speed. The lowest speed is barely perceptible, but the highest setting can be felt at least 10 metres away.</p><p>The fan is pretty quiet on the lowest five speed settings, though it does develop a bit of a jet engine sound when you crank it between 6-10. I constantly had the fan running on about 3-4 in my living room while watching TV and while it was audible, it wasn’t distracting. At higher speeds, it would definitely be too loud to have on while streaming Netflix.</p><p>The TurboBlade offers three levels of oscillation, which helps circulate the air. The highest setting will spin a full 180 degrees, though because of the customisable direction of the vents, you could use it to blow air in a full 360 degrees.</p><p>It’s probably not worth pointing out, but oscillating when the TurboBlade’s fans are horizontal obviously requires a lot more space. I found I never <em>really</em> did this because it would likely end up bumping <em>something</em>, but it’s certainly possible.</p><p>Beyond the basic settings, Shark has included three additional modes for the TurboBlade. The first is Sleep mode, which mutes chimes, dims the lights and offers a gentle breeze for overnight use. It also turns itself off after eight hours.<br /><br />I found the fan was still a little bit too noisy for me to use while sleeping, though I know plenty of people would happily have that gentle hum of white noise in the background as the fan blows gently from the foot of the bed. To each their own.</p><p>The second specialty mode is Breeze Boost, which cranks the fan’s output to 11. Shark says it the air can be felt from 20 metres away in this mode, and I couldn’t really test that in my house. But it is louder and more powerful than leaving the fan on the highest <em>normal</em> speed.</p><p>The final specialty mode is NaturalBreeze, which tries to replicate the feeling of a gentle breeze by varying the airflow speed to recreate the sensation of natural wind. It’s a cool idea, and works well, but on a hot day, I found I just wanted the fan to circulate the air normally.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2026/02/Shark-TurboBlade-Ultra-review--7.webp" class="kg-image" alt="Holding the remote in front of the fan." loading="lazy" width="1500" height="844" srcset="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/size/w600/2026/02/Shark-TurboBlade-Ultra-review--7.webp 600w, https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/size/w1000/2026/02/Shark-TurboBlade-Ultra-review--7.webp 1000w, https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2026/02/Shark-TurboBlade-Ultra-review--7.webp 1500w" /></figure><h2 id="ease-of-use">Ease of use</h2><p>So long as you have the remote control, using the TurboBlade Ultra is a piece of cake.</p><p>Without the remote though, it’s a bit of a nightmare. There’s a single button on the front of the fan, which turns it on and off as well as giving rudimentary control over fan speeds by pressing and holding it down.</p><p>If you want oscillation, direction control, oscillation or any other features, you <em>need</em> the remote.</p><p>Fortunately, the remote magnetically attached to the back of the fan, so it’s easy to store. Just don’t lose it.</p><p>The TurboBlade is also super easy to clean, which is arguably one of its biggest selling points. The tower arms can simply be wiped down with soapy water.<br /><br />At the back of the fan’s base is a “dust defence” panel, which is designed to capture dust, and it pops off easily for cleaning. A simple vacuum of the grill and a wipe of the internal mesh screen with a microfibres cloth is all the maintenance you really need.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2026/02/Shark-TurboBlade-Ultra-review--5.webp" class="kg-image" alt="The air filter for the TurboBlade – it's easy to clean, but does require maintenance." loading="lazy" width="1500" height="844" srcset="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/size/w600/2026/02/Shark-TurboBlade-Ultra-review--5.webp 600w, https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/size/w1000/2026/02/Shark-TurboBlade-Ultra-review--5.webp 1000w, https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2026/02/Shark-TurboBlade-Ultra-review--5.webp 1500w" /></figure><h2 id="verdict">Verdict</h2><p>There is nothing else like the Shark TurboBlade Ultra on the market right now. This premium fan delivers exceptional performance and unrivalled versatility. While there are other tower fans on the market, none offer a rotating arm and directional control in the same way, which gives this model a distinct edge.</p><p>The catch is that the TurboBlade Ultra isn’t cheap. At $399.99 RRP, you can find solid – if not quite so versatile – alternatives at a fraction of the price. Even Shark’s own first-generation FlexBreeze fan is only $250, and that has the benefit of battery power and a convertible design for pedestal and tabletop use.</p><p>But I still feel like this is a more complete package as an indoor fan. If you can justify the price (or pick it up on sale), then there is a lot to like with the TurboBlade Ultra.</p><p>Just don’t lose the remote control.</p><p><strong>Buy the Shark TurboBlade Ultra if you:</strong></p><ul><li>You want a versatile fan that can pivot between vertical and horizontal modes with adjustable airflow direction</li><li>You're willing to pay premium prices for powerful cooling (up to 20 metres), quiet operation, and easy cleaning</li><li>You need multiple speed settings and modes for different situations like sleeping or maximum cooling</li></ul><p><strong>Skip the Shark TurboBlade Ultra if you:</strong></p><ul><li>You're on a budget — there are good fans available for much less</li><li>You have limited floor space, especially since it needs 80 cm width when horizontal</li><li>You would rather not rely on a remote control for most functions</li></ul><hr /><h2 id="frequently-asked-questions">Frequently Asked Questions</h2><div class="kg-card kg-toggle-card"> <div class="kg-toggle-heading"> <h4 class="kg-toggle-heading-text"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">How loud is the Shark TurboBlade Ultra at different speed settings?</span></h4> <button class="kg-toggle-card-icon"> <svg id="Regular" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewbox="0 0 24 24"> <path class="cls-1" d="M23.25,7.311,12.53,18.03a.749.749,0,0,1-1.06,0L.75,7.311"></path> </svg> </button> </div> <div class="kg-toggle-content"><p dir="ltr"><span style="white-space:pre-wrap">The TurboBlade Ultra is ultra-quiet on speeds 1-5, remaining barely perceptible at the lowest setting and unobtrusive enough for TV watching at speeds 3-4.

<p>I find the week of back to school a bittersweet time of year. After six weeks of hanging out with your kids over summer, you're kind of ready for them to go back to school to get their brains back into gear.</p><p>But back to school means lots of shopping. Uniforms and textbooks, obviously, but also things like headphones, laptops and accessories. It can get really expensive.</p><p>The good news is that back to school also makes it a good time for <em>anyone</em> to upgrade their computing gear. Lots of retailers offer discounts, so if you shop around, you can save a decent amount, like this <a href="https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/asus-vivobook-14-14-inches-copilot-plus-16gb-512gb-laptop-f1407qa-ly068w">14-inch ASUS laptop at the Good Guys</a>, where you can save over $500. </p><p>In other news, the shorter week meant I didn't quite close out any of my outstanding reviews, so stay tuned for more next time.</p><p><em>Until next week, thanks for reading</em></p><p><em>–Nick</em></p><div class="gh-paid-content-notice"><h3>This post is for subscribers only</h3><p>Become a member to get access to all content</p><a class="gh-paid-content-cta" href="https://www.bttr.reviews/bttr-roundup-70/#/portal/signup">Subscribe now</a></div>

<p>DJI’s <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/dji-osmo-mobile-8-gimbal-review/" rel="noreferrer">Osmo Mobile 8</a> was one of my <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/best-of-2025/" rel="noreferrer">10 favourite products last year</a>, offering an intuitive and powerful gimbal solution for smartphone recording.</p><p>But if you want a better camera than an <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/apple-iphone-17-pro-smartphone-review/" rel="noreferrer">iPhone 17 Pro</a>, you're going to need a bigger gimbal. DJI has just announced the RS 5, a lightweight commercial camera gimbal designed to give videographers more flexibility and smarter control over their footage.</p><p>The new RS 5 arrives with a focus on making complex shots easier for solo operators. It weighs 1.46 kg including the battery grip and plates, yet it can carry a payload of up to 3 kg. This makes it compatible with most mainstream mirrorless camera and lens combinations used by local creators today.</p><p>The most significant update is the RS Enhanced Intelligent Tracking Module. This module allows you to frame and track subjects directly via the gimbal's touchscreen. </p><p>It is no longer limited to just tracking people; it can now lock onto vehicles, pets, or specific objects. It can maintain a lock on human subjects from up to 10 metres away, even in crowded environments, and can quickly reacquire a subject if they momentarily leave the frame.</p><p>Under the hood, DJI has implemented its 5th generation stabilisation algorithm. This has resulted in a 50% increase in peak motor torque, providing much better stability during fast movements, like running or quick angle switches. </p><p>For those focused on vertical content, the RS 5 handles the switch to portrait mode natively without requiring additional accessories.</p><p>To help improve the quality of manual operation, DJI added a Z-axis indicator on the screen. This provides feedback on your gait and pace, suggesting adjustments to help reduce image shake while walking.</p><p>Battery life and efficiency have also seen a major jump. The standard battery now charges 60% faster than the previous model, reaching a full charge in about an hour. While the standard grip provides 14 hours of power, a new BG70 high-capacity battery grip is available which extends the total runtime to 30 hours.</p><p>The ecosystem has also expanded, with the Bluetooth shutter now supporting Panasonic and Fujifilm cameras alongside Sony, Canon, and Nikon.</p><h3 id="australian-pricing-and-availability">Australian pricing and availability</h3><p>The DJI RS 5 is available in Australia from today through authorised retailers and the official DJI online store.</p><ul><li>DJI RS 5 (Standalone): $839 AUD.

<p>It's been a hot minute since I tested a Reno phone. My last review was the <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/oppo-reno13-5g-review/" rel="noreferrer">Reno13</a>, which came about six months after I reviewed the <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/oppo-reno12-5g-review/" rel="noreferrer">Reno12</a>. Both models had a stylish design, great battery life with fast charging and way too much pre-loaded bloatware.</p><p>The Reno15 Pro 5G is the flagship of this duo, and it features a massive 200MP ultra-clear main camera and a 50MP ultra-wide selfie camera. That second lens has a 100-degree field of view, which basically means you can finally bin the selfie stick for group shots.</p><p>Under the hood, the Pro is running a MediaTek Dimensity 8450 chipset. It is also surprisingly compact, sporting a 6.32-inch display and an aerospace-grade aluminium frame. </p><p>Alongside the Pro is the Reno15 F 5G, which is the more affordable sibling. It swaps the MediaTek chip for a Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 and offers a larger 6.57-inch 120Hz display for those who prefer more screen real estate.</p><h2 id="power-for-days">Power for days</h2><p>The most impressive aspect of both phones is the battery life. Oppo has managed to cram a 6,200mAh battery into the Reno15 Pro and an even larger 6,500mAh unit into the Reno15 F. Given how power-efficient these mid-range chips usually are, these phones should easily survive a heavy day of filming and editing.</p><p>When you do eventually run dry, both models support 80W SuperVOOC fast charging. Better yet, Oppo is still including the 80W wall charger in the box, along with a protective case. </p><h2 id="built-for-the-feed">Built for the feed</h2><p>Oppo is clearly pitching these at the TikTok and Reels crowd. They’ve introduced a "Seamless Camera Switch" feature that lets you jump between the front and rear cameras while recording, which will help those one-take vlogs. </p><p>There is also a new Video Editing 2.0 suite built directly into the Photos app to help speed up the posting process.</p><p>Both phones also come with an <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/ip-ratings/" rel="noreferrer">IP69 rating for water and dust resistance</a>. This is quite high for this price bracket, meaning it should handle more than just a light splash of rain.</p><h2 id="specs-comparison">Specs comparison</h2> <table> <tr> <th>Feature</th> <th>OPPO Reno15 Pro 5G</th> <th>OPPO Reno15 F 5G</th> </tr> <tr> <td>Price (RRP)</td> <td>$1,399 </td> <td>$679 </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Display</td> <td>6.32-inch compact display </td> <td>6.57-inch 120Hz display </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Processor</td> <td>MediaTek Dimensity 8450 </td> <td>Qualcomm Snapdragon 6 Gen 1 </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Battery</td> <td>6,200mAh </td> <td>6,500mAh </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Charging</td> <td>80W SUPERVOOC </td> <td>80W SUPERVOOC </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Main Camera</td> <td>200MP Ultra-Clear </td> <td>High-megapixel sensor </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Selfie Camera</td> <td>50MP Ultra-Wide (100° FOV) </td> <td>50MP Ultra-Wide (100° FOV) </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Build Quality</td> <td>Aerospace-grade aluminium frame </td> <td>IP69 water and dust resistance </td> </tr> <tr> <td>Availability</td> <td>JB Hi-Fi, OPPO Online </td> <td>JB Hi-Fi, Officeworks, Big W, Harvey Norman, The Good Guys, OPPO Online </td> </tr> </table> <h2 id="australian-pricing-and-availability">Australian pricing and availability</h2><p>The Oppo Reno15 series will be available in Australia from 5 February 2026.</p><p>The Reno15 Pro 5G will retail for $1,399 and comes in Aurora Blue or Dusk Black.

<p>One thing I've learned the hard way since starting BTTR, is that the days of just being a writer are over. To make it work, you also have to "create content".</p><p>Belkin knows that more and more people are looking at becoming content creators and has launched its latest round of accessories to satisfy their needs. </p><p>We saw a glimpse of these <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/belkin-2025-ces/" rel="noreferrer">back at CES in 2025</a>, but now we have local pricing and availability for the Australian market.</p><h3 id="stage-powergrip">Stage PowerGrip</h3><p>The most interesting of the new products is the Stage PowerGrip. While it looks like a traditional camera grip to help stabilise your iPhone while filming, Belkin has packed it with a 9,300mAh power bank.</p><p>The grip attaches magnetically and <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/qi-magsafe-wireless-charging/" rel="noreferrer">offers 7.5W wireless charging</a>, though there are also USB-C ports and a retractable cable if you need a faster top-up. </p><p>It also features a Bluetooth shutter button, allowing you to trigger recordings without fumbling for the screen. </p><p>When you aren't filming, it doubles as a phone stand for reviewing your footage and includes a standard 1/4-inch tripod thread on the bottom.</p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2026/01/Belkin-Creator-Kit.webp" class="kg-image" alt="A woman filming a piece to camera using a phone and the Belkin Creator Kit" loading="lazy" width="1500" height="843" srcset="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/size/w600/2026/01/Belkin-Creator-Kit.webp 600w, https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/size/w1000/2026/01/Belkin-Creator-Kit.webp 1000w, https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2026/01/Belkin-Creator-Kit.webp 1500w" /></figure><h3 id="stage-creator-kit">Stage Creator Kit</h3><p>For those looking for a more complete mobile studio setup, the Stage Creator Kit bundles several tools together. </p><p>It includes a lightweight aluminium tripod that extends from 0.44m to 1.7m, a magnetic phone mount, and a pair of wireless microphones.</p><p>The dual clip-on microphones record 24-bit/48kHz audio and offer noise reduction. They come in a dedicated charging case, providing up to 36 hours of total battery life, and have a claimed range of up to 100 metres.</p><h3 id="pricing-and-availability">Pricing and availability</h3><p>Both products are available now from <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/belkin/" rel="noreferrer">Belkin's Australian website</a>:</p><ul><li><a href="https://www.belkin.com/au/p/magnetic-charging-camera-grip-with-power-bank/CTA006fqGY.html">Stage PowerGrip</a>: $99.95 AUD (Available in Charcoal, Ice Blue, and Sand)</li><li><a href="https://www.belkin.com/au/p/creator-kit-tripod-magnetic-phone-mount-wireless-mics/CTA002fqSA-B1.html">Stage Creator Kit</a>: $199.95 AUD (Available in Sand)</li></ul><p>It’s a logical expansion for Belkin.

<p>I've been testing Tineco floor cleaners for a few years, but haven't had a chance to properly look at any of the company's steam models, because I can't clean my home's floors with steam.</p><p>But if you have been eyeing off a Tineco steam cleaner for your home, now is the perfect time to buy, with the brand slashing prices on its premium steam models.</p><p>From today until 11 February, Tineco is offering discounts of up to 25% on two of its most advanced wet and dry floor cleaners: the Floor One S9 Artist Steam and the Floor One S7 Stretch Steam.</p><p>The <a href="https://au.tineco.com/products/tineco-floor-one-s9-artist-steam-wet-dry-vacuum-cleaner" rel="noreferrer">Floor One S9 Artist Steam</a> has been reduced by $200 from $1,499 to $1,299, while the <a href="https://au.tineco.com/products/tineco-floor-one-s7-stretch-steam" rel="noreferrer">Floor One S7 Stretch Steam</a> has dropped by $300 from $1,199 to $899.</p><p>Both models feature Tineco's HyperSteam technology, which heats steam to 140°C to dissolve stains and eliminate up to 99.9% of bacteria. The technology has earned TÜV certifications for bacteria elimination and pet-friendly cleaning.</p><h2 id="floor-one-s9-artist-steam1299-was-1499">Floor One S9 Artist Steam - $1,299 (was $1,499)</h2><p>The S9 Artist Steam is the flagship model, combining HyperSteam with Tineco's full suite of cleaning technologies. If you don't need the steam, the <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/tineco-floor-one-s9-artist-pro-review/" rel="noreferrer">S9 Artist Pro is a solid alternative.</a></p><p>It includes iLoop Smart Sensor to automatically adjust suction power and water flow based on detected dirt levels, plus MHCBS technology that continuously cleans the brush roller with fresh water.</p><p>The S9 Artist Steam also features triple-sided edge cleaning for baseboards and corners, HyperStretch 180° lay-flat design to reach under furniture, and DualBlock anti-tangle design to prevent hair from clogging the brush.</p><p>Self-cleaning is handled by FlashDry functionality, which cleans the rollers and brush in just five minutes at the push of a button.</p><p>The Floor One S9 Artist Steam is available from the Tineco Online Store, Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, Bing Lee, Costco, Retravision, Mobileciti, MyDeal, and Tech Sales Online.</p><h2 id="floor-one-s7-stretch-steam899-was-1199">Floor One S7 Stretch Steam - $899 (was $1,199)</h2><p>The S7 Stretch Steam offers similar steam cleaning power at a lower price point, making it the standout deal in this sale with a 25% discount. For those not requiring steam, the <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/tineco-floor-one-s7-stretch-floor-cleaner-review/" rel="noreferrer">S7 Stretch</a> is probably my pick of Tineco's cleaners right now, so I expect this model to be just as impressive.</p><p>Like the S9, it uses super-heated 140°C steam to remove stains and bacteria while featuring Tineco's HyperStretch 180° lay-flat design to clean under low furniture.</p><p>The DualBlock anti-tangle design prevents hair from wrapping around the brush, while dual-sided edge cleaning ensures baseboards are cleaned right to the edge.</p><p>Three cleaning modes cover different needs: Auto mode for basic cleaning, Max mode for heavy messes, and Suction mode for water and mess pickup.</p><p>The S7 Stretch Steam is available from the Tineco Online Store, Harvey Norman, JB Hi-Fi, The Good Guys, Bing Lee, Retravision, Mobileciti, and Big W Online.</p><p>Both deals run until 11 February 2026.</p> <table

<p>There are a few ways you can supply power to a home security camera. While hard-wired options are the most reliable, you need a sparky to install them. Battery powered models are convenient, you will need to find a way to charge them. </p><p>If you can pair them with a solar panel? Easy, unlimited power. TP-Link's latest model falls into this category, combining some pretty solid specs with a solar panel to help keep your home secure.</p><p>The Tapo C660 KIT sits at the top of TP-Link's outdoor security camera range, offering 4K Ultra HD (8MP) resolution with 18x digital zoom. That should make it easier to actually identify who's at your door or what your neighbour's cat is doing in your garden bed at 3am.</p><p>The camera can pan and tilt for 360° coverage, which is nice to see on a battery-powered unit. There's also AI-powered tracking that can follow people, pets and vehicles in real time, with customisable activity zones so you're not getting alerts every time a leaf blows past.</p><p>For night-time monitoring, TP-Link has included starlight colour night vision with an F1.6 large-aperture lens and built-in spotlights. That means you should get colour footage at night, rather than just black-and-white infrared. </p><p>TP-Link reckons just 45 minutes of direct sunlight can power a full day of operation (based on up to 100 events triggered per day), with the battery providing backup during cloudy periods. </p><p>The camera is <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/ip-ratings/" rel="noreferrer">rated IP65 for weather resistance</a>, so it should handle Australia's varied conditions. You can mount the solar panel separately or combine it with the camera using the included 3.8-metre cable, which gives you some flexibility in placement.</p><p>Other features include dual-band Wi-Fi support (2.4GHz and 5GHz), two-way audio for chatting with delivery drivers, a sound and light alarm for deterrence, and voice control through Amazon Alexa and Google Home. </p><p>Storage is handled either through microSD cards up to 512GB or TP-Link's optional cloud service.</p><p>The Tapo C660 KIT is available now via <a href="https://au.store.tapo.com/products/4k-solar-powered-pan-tilt-security-camera-kit-tapo-c660-kit?_pos=1&amp;_psq=Tapo+C660+KIT&amp;_ss=e&amp;_v=1.0">TP-Link</a> and selected retailers for an RRP of $299.</p>

<p>I find it both strange and reassuring that some of the best developments in health tech don't really <em>do</em> anything. Take the latest news from Apple, where Australian Apple Watch owners can now get hypertension alerts, after the feature was approved by the TGA late last year.</p><p>For most people, the best thing about this new feature is to never receive one of these alerts, because hypertension is the leading modifiable risk factor for heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.</p><p>Hypertension is a silent threat. It impacts approximately 1.4 billion adults globally, and it's frequently undiagnosed because it often has no symptoms. Many people don't see a doctor regularly, and even during a clinical visit, it can be easily missed with a single measurement.</p><p>Professor Garry Jennings, chief medical adviser at the Australian Heart Foundation, put it plainly: </p><blockquote>"Hypertension awareness in Australia is far too low, so we welcome new technologies that advise people that they might have hypertension and should seek confirmation from their doctor. Despite high blood pressure causing a greater risk of heart attack and stroke, only about a third of adults with hypertension are aware of it and have their blood pressure lowered to satisfactory levels."</blockquote><h2 id="how-it-works">How it works</h2><p>The new feature uses data from your Apple Watch's optical heart sensor to analyse how your blood vessels respond to the beats of your heart. The algorithm works passively in the background, reviewing data over 30-day periods, and will notify you if it detects consistent signs of hypertension.</p><p>It's available on <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/apple-watch-series-9-review/" rel="noreferrer">Apple Watch Series 9</a> and later, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 and later. The feature isn't intended for people under 22 years old, those who have been previously diagnosed with hypertension, or pregnant people.</p><p>If you receive a hypertension notification, Apple recommends logging your blood pressure for seven days using a third-party blood pressure cuff and sharing the results with your doctor at your next visit. This aligns with the latest guidelines for the diagnosis and management of hypertension.</p><h2 id="the-science-behind-it">The science behind it</h2><p>Like all of Apple's health features, hypertension notifications are grounded in rigorous scientific validation. </p><p>The feature was developed with advanced machine learning and training data from over 100,000 participants, with its performance validated in a clinical study of over 2,000 participants.</p><p>While hypertension notifications won't detect all instances of hypertension, Apple estimates the feature will notify over one million people with undiagnosed hypertension worldwide within its first year of availability. </p><p>For a condition that's so often missed, that passive monitoring could make all the difference.</p><h2 id="how-to-set-it-up">How to set it up</h2><p>To check if you have hypertension notifications set up on your Apple Watch, open the Health app on your iPhone and navigating to Browse &gt; Heart &gt; Hypertension Notifications. </p><p>From there, you can confirm the feature is turned on and review the information about how it works.</p><p>Once enabled, there's nothing else you need to do. Your Apple Watch will monitor in the background and alert you if it detects consistent signs of hypertension over a 30-day period. Hopefully you won't receive any alerts, but if you do, go visit your doctor.</p> <div class="bttr-where-to-buy"> <h4 class="bttr-wtb-title">🛒 Where to buy Apple</h4> <p class="bttr-wtb-subtitle">Available from these trusted retailers:</p> <div class="bttr-retailers-grid"> <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/stores/Apple/page/A73CF337-6406-4B4B-822A-C4E9B79BAE52" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/amazon-logo-300x150.webp" alt="Amazon logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/apple" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/The_Good_Guys_logo_300x150.webp" alt="The Good Guys Logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.kogan.com/au/apple/" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/Kogan_log_300x150.webp" alt="Kogan logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.betta.com.au/apple" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/betta-logo.webp" alt="Betta Logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.ebay.com.au/b/Apple/bn_21819545" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/ebay-logo_300x150.webp" alt="eBay Logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.mobileciti.com.au/brand/apple" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/mobileciti-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Mobileciti logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.apple.com/au/store" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/apple-logo-300x150.webp" alt="Apple logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.binglee.com.au/brands/apple/tech/apple" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/bing-lee-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Bing Lee logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.bigw.com.au/tech-audio/apple/c/6327" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/bigw-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Big W logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.jbhifi.com.au/pages/apple" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/JB-Hi-Fi-brand_300x150.webp" alt="JB Hi-Fi logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.officeworks.com.au/campaigns/brands/apple" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/officeworks-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Officeworks logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.harveynorman.com.au/brands/apple" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/harvey-norman-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Harvey Norman logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> </div> <p class="bttr-wtb-disclaimer"> <small><em>BTTR is independent, but we may earn money when you purchase through links on our site.

<p>One of the most interesting considerations facing anyone looking at home security products today is "where will my data be stored?"</p><p>Brands like Ring do a fantastic job, but everything is uploaded to the cloud, and you need to pay an ongoing subscription in order to store clips from multiple cameras. On the other hand, brands like Reolink are leaning into locally stored footage.</p><p>Reolink's latest camera is a behemoth of a spotlight camera.</p><p>The TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi is a hardwired 4K PTZ (Pan Tilt Zoom) floodlight camera that's just launched in Australia.</p><p>The camera's already picked up some serious recognition overseas, winning 19 "Best of IFA 2025" awards including honours. It was also named an IFA Innovation Awards Honoree after its debut at <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/tag/ifa-2025/" rel="noreferrer">IFA Berlin 2025</a>.</p><h2 id="two-lenses-one-screen">Two lenses, one screen</h2><p>The key selling point is the dual-lens design, similar to the <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/eufy-s340-solocam-review/" rel="noreferrer">Eufy S340 Solocam</a> I reviewed a couple of years back. TrackFlex uses a 4K wide-angle lens alongside a 6x hybrid zoom lens to provide 360-degree horizontal coverage. </p><p>Both views display simultaneously on your phone through the Reolink app, so you can see the full scene while also tracking specific subjects in detail.</p><p>Unlike traditional single-lens cameras that lose focus when zooming or panning, the dual-lens system switches between focal lengths automatically. </p><p>This means you get sharp detail whether someone's right at your front door or moving across the far end of your driveway.</p><h2 id="local-ai-video-search">Local AI video search</h2><p>The TrackFlex runs on Reolink's ReoNeura AI system, which processes everything on-device. You can search through your footage using text descriptions like "person in red jacket" or "delivery van," and the system will pull up relevant clips without you having to scrub through hours of recordings.</p><p>The AI can identify people, vehicles, animals, and packages. Because it all happens locally on the camera, your footage stays private and there are no additional costs.</p><h2 id="3000-lumens-and-out-of-view-detection">3000 lumens and out-of-view detection</h2><p>The floodlight delivers up to 3000 lumens with adjustable colour temperature. You can choose between 6500K cool light or 3000K warm light. There's also a 110-decibel siren to deter intruders.</p><p>One clever addition is the 270-degree Out-of-View Detection. Three built-in Passive Infrared (PIR) sensors monitor a wide zone around the camera, detecting motion between 2 and 10 metres away. </p><p>If something happens outside the camera's current view, it'll alert you and swivel to capture it, so your home security system doesn't have any glaring black spots.</p><h2 id="pricing-and-availability">Pricing and availability</h2><p>The Reolink TrackFlex Floodlight WiFi is available now for $399.99. You can pick it up at Reolink.com and Amazon, and there's no subscription required to use it, though you will need an electrician to install it.</p> <div class="bttr-where-to-buy"> <h3 class="bttr-wtb-title">🛒 Where to buy Reolink</h3> <p class="bttr-wtb-subtitle">Available from these trusted retailers:</p> <div class="bttr-retailers-grid"> <a href="https://reolink.com/au/" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2026/01/reolink-new-logo-300x150.webp" alt="Reolink logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/stores/REOLINK/page/BCE71493-60CF-416D-899F-3D3890B03DA1" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/amazon-logo-300x150.webp" alt="Amazon logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/reolink/" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/The_Good_Guys_logo_300x150.webp" alt="The Good Guys Logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.kogan.com/au/reolink/" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/Kogan_log_300x150.webp" alt="Kogan logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.ebay.com.au/shop/reolink-camera?_nkw=reolink+camera&amp;srsltid=AfmBOoprK32g25KeQRVNKMlISNEw4lhC1eAzH-QcIWAXTmzK2gr622Se" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/ebay-logo_300x150.webp" alt="eBay Logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.bigw.com.au/brands/reolink" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/bigw-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Big W logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.bunnings.com.au/brands/r/reolink" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/bunnings-warehouse-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Bunnings Warehouse logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.jbhifi.com.au/collections/reolink" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/JB-Hi-Fi-brand_300x150.webp" alt="JB Hi-Fi logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.officeworks.com.au/brands/ring" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/officeworks-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Officeworks logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.harveynorman.com.au/smart-home/connected-home-security/security-cameras/ring/993" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/harvey-norman-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Harvey Norman logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> </div> <p class="bttr-wtb-disclaimer"> <small><em>BTTR is independent, but we may earn money when you purchase through links on our site.

<p>It's funny how quickly life changes. 20 years ago, if you wanted the internet on your laptop and you weren't in Wi-Fi range, you would have to rely on a cheap USB dongle that offered paltry 3G speeds and failed as often as it worked.</p><p>These days, you can just tether your smartphone. But if you need a bit more than just a smartphone connection or you're travelling overseas, Netgear has just announced its new 5G M7 hotspot.</p><p>The Nighthawk 5G M7 (model MH7150) is a portable Wi-Fi 7 hotspot that's designed for travellers and remote workers who need reliable internet on the go.</p><p>What sets it apart from previous mobile hotspots is the new eSIM marketplace built into the companion app.</p><p>Instead of hunting down local SIM cards or paying exorbitant roaming fees, you can browse and purchase data plans directly through the Netgear app. The marketplace covers over 140 countries, with plans ranging from 3GB to 20GB. For launch, Netgear has partnered with <a href="https://gigs.com/" rel="noreferrer">Gigs</a> to provide the data plans.</p><p>The device itself is compact and lightweight, making it easy to toss in a bag. It delivers Wi-Fi 7 speeds of up to 3.6Gbps and can handle up to 32 connected devices simultaneously, which is enough for a family on holiday or a small team at an offsite. </p><p>If you prefer wired connections, there's USB-C connectivity, or you can use an Ethernet adapter (sold separately).</p><p>Battery life sits at around 10 hours of continuous use, and the M7 can double as a power bank to charge other devices while you're travelling. It's powered by Qualcomm's Dragonwing SDX72 chipset, which is designed to deliver multi-gig 5G speeds.</p><p>Security features include WPA3 encryption, a built-in firewall, Netgear's Advanced Router Protection, and automatic firmware updates. The device is unlocked and certified with major Australian carriers, so you're not locked into a specific network.</p><p>The Nighthawk 5G M7 is available now for $799. </p> <div class="bttr-where-to-buy"> <h4 class="bttr-wtb-title">🛒 Where to buy Netgear</h4> <p class="bttr-wtb-subtitle">Available from these trusted retailers:</p> <div class="bttr-retailers-grid"> <a class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/amazon-logo-300x150.webp" alt="Amazon logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.kogan.com/au/netgear/" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/Kogan_log_300x150.webp" alt="Kogan logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.ebay.com.au/b/NETGEAR-Home-Networking-Connectivity/11176/bn_25891929?srsltid=AfmBOorTEztLvi036pzEbhQ0hDT-oq4szO8-_uJko2ZG3I2SN8Xbcv83" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/ebay-logo_300x150.webp" alt="eBay Logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.netgear.com/au/" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2026/01/NETGEAR-Logo-Dark_300x150.webp" alt="Netgear logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.retravision.com.au/computers-technology/networking/wireless-mesh/netgear-wireless-and-mesh" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/Retravision_Logo_300x150.webp" alt="Retravision logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.binglee.com.au/brands/netgear" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/bing-lee-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Bing Lee logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.bigw.com.au/brands/netgear" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/bigw-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Big W logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.jbhifi.com.au/collections/netgear" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/JB-Hi-Fi-brand_300x150.webp" alt="JB Hi-Fi logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.officeworks.com.au/campaigns/brands/netgear" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/officeworks-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Officeworks logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> </div> <p class="bttr-wtb-disclaimer"> <small><em>BTTR is independent, but we may earn money when you purchase through links on our site.

<p>Jabra decided to step away from the consumer market not long after launching the <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/jabra-elite-10-review/">Elite 10 earbuds</a>. But the latest professional headsets from the company still manage to infuse a bit of that consumer comfort.</p><p>The new Evolve3 series, which launches in Australia on March 1, are work headsets that actually look like something you'd want to wear outside the office. No boom mic jutting out from your face, just a clean, modern design that wouldn't look out of place on a commute or a flight.</p><p>To get around the loss of the boom mic, Jabra has introduced something called ClearVoice, which uses deep neural network technology to separate your voice from background noise. The company claims it works so well that you'll sound professional even if you're taking calls in a busy café or an airport terminal.</p><p>There are two models in the range. The Evolve3 85 ($979) is an over-ear design for people who need maximum noise isolation, while the Evolve3 75 ($719) sits on-ear and offers a lighter, more breathable fit with better situational awareness. </p><figure class="kg-card kg-image-card"><img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2026/01/Jabra-Evolve3-75-Warm-Gray-Home-Large-RGB.webp" class="kg-image" alt="A man wearing The Jabra Evolve3 75 " loading="lazy" width="1500" height="844" srcset="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/size/w600/2026/01/Jabra-Evolve3-75-Warm-Gray-Home-Large-RGB.webp 600w, https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/size/w1000/2026/01/Jabra-Evolve3-75-Warm-Gray-Home-Large-RGB.webp 1000w, https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2026/01/Jabra-Evolve3-75-Warm-Gray-Home-Large-RGB.webp 1500w" /></figure><p>Both are significantly slimmer and lighter than their Evolve2 predecessors – the 85 is 35% slimmer and 23% lighter than the Evolve2 85.</p><p>Battery life looks solid, with up to 25 hours of call time or 120 hours of music playback (with ANC and busylight off) on the Evolve3 85, and 22 hours of calls or 110 hours of music on the 75. </p><p>There's also fast charging that delivers 10 hours of use from just 10 minutes of charging, plus wireless charging support.</p><p>The adaptive active noise cancellation is interesting because it keeps working during calls, not just between them. Most headsets turn off ANC when you're on a call, but Jabra has kept it running to help you focus on the conversation even in noisy environments.</p><p>The headsets are built with IT departments in mind. They're certified for major UC platforms, come with a pre-paired Bluetooth adapter for secure connectivity, and can be managed remotely through Jabra's Plus Management software. </p><p>The batteries are replaceable, which should help extend the product's life and reduce e-waste.</p><p>$979 for the Evolve3 85 isn't cheap, and $719 for the 75 is still a significant investment. But if you're someone who spends a lot of time on calls and wants something that actually looks good while delivering professional audio quality, Jabra might have finally nailed the work-life crossover headset.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/apple-airtag-review/" rel="noreferrer">Apple's AirTags</a> first launched five years ago and brought the idea of tracking your possessions to the mainstream.</p><p>Now, the second-generation AirTag has been launched, improving everything while maintaining the same size and dimensions as the original.</p><p>The updated AirTag features Apple's second-generation Ultra Wideband chip, which is the same one found in the <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/apples-2025-iphone-17-family/" rel="noreferrer">iPhone 17 lineup</a> and latest Apple Watches. </p><p>This enables Precision Finding from up to 50 per cent further away than before, using haptic, visual and audio feedback to guide you to your lost items.</p><p>For the first time, you can now use Precision Finding directly on <a href="https://www.bttr.reviews/apple-watch-series-9-review/" rel="noreferrer">Apple Watch Series 9</a> or later, or Apple Watch Ultra 2 or later, bringing that helpful directional arrow to your wrist without needing to pull out your iPhone.</p><p>The internal design has also been updated to make the new AirTag 50 per cent louder than the previous generation. Combined with a distinctive new chime, you can now hear your AirTag from up to twice as far away.</p><p>An upgraded Bluetooth chip also expands the range at which items can be located, making it easier to track down lost belongings even when they're further away.</p><p>The new AirTag integrates seamlessly with Share Item Location, an iOS feature that lets you temporarily and securely share your AirTag's location with trusted third parties. </p><p>This has proven particularly useful for lost luggage: Apple has partnered with over 50 airlines to accept Share Item Location links.</p><p>Like the original, the new AirTag maintains industry-leading privacy protections. It doesn't store location data or history on the device itself, and end-to-end encryption protects all communication with the Find My network. </p><p>The AirTag is designed exclusively for tracking objects (not people or pets), and includes cross-platform alerts and frequently changing Bluetooth identifiers to prevent unwanted tracking.</p><p>The new AirTag is built with 85 per cent recycled plastic in the enclosure, 100 per cent recycled rare earth elements in all magnets, and 100 per cent recycled gold plating in all Apple-designed printed circuit boards. The packaging is 100 per cent fibre-based and easily recycled.</p><p>Because it maintains the same form factor as the original, all existing AirTag accessories will work with the new model.</p><p>The new AirTag is available to order now. Pricing remains unchanged from the original: $49 for a single AirTag and $165 for a four-pack, with free personalised engraving available. </p><p>The Apple-designed AirTag FineWoven Key Ring is available in Fox Orange, Midnight Purple, Navy, Moss and Black for $59.</p> <div class="bttr-where-to-buy"> <h4 class="bttr-wtb-title">🛒 Where to buy Apple</h4> <p class="bttr-wtb-subtitle">Available from these trusted retailers:</p> <div class="bttr-retailers-grid"> <a href="https://www.amazon.com.au/stores/Apple/page/A73CF337-6406-4B4B-822A-C4E9B79BAE52" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/amazon-logo-300x150.webp" alt="Amazon logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.thegoodguys.com.au/apple" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/The_Good_Guys_logo_300x150.webp" alt="The Good Guys Logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.kogan.com/au/apple/" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/Kogan_log_300x150.webp" alt="Kogan logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.betta.com.au/apple" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/betta-logo.webp" alt="Betta Logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.ebay.com.au/b/Apple/bn_21819545" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/ebay-logo_300x150.webp" alt="eBay Logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.mobileciti.com.au/brand/apple" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/mobileciti-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Mobileciti logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.apple.com/au/store" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/apple-logo-300x150.webp" alt="Apple logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.binglee.com.au/brands/apple/tech/apple" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/bing-lee-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Bing Lee logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.bigw.com.au/tech-audio/apple/c/6327" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/bigw-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Big W logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.jbhifi.com.au/pages/apple" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/JB-Hi-Fi-brand_300x150.webp" alt="JB Hi-Fi logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.officeworks.com.au/campaigns/brands/apple" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/12/officeworks-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Officeworks logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> <a href="https://www.harveynorman.com.au/brands/apple" class="bttr-retailer-card" target="_blank"> <img src="https://www.bttr.reviews/content/images/2025/11/harvey-norman-logo_300x150.webp" alt="Harvey Norman logo" class="bttr-retailer-logo" /> </a> </div> <p class="bttr-wtb-disclaimer"> <small><em>BTTR is independent, but we may earn money when you purchase through links on our site.
