New Dyson Cinetic Big Ball vacuum is so efficient that it doesn’t need a filter

dyson cinetic

When I reviewed the Dyson Animal vacuum a year ago, I was impressed by its suction and overall cleaning ability. Dyson is well known for their convenient bagless design, but now they’ve improved things even more by ditching the filter. In other sweepers filters can clog if not cleaned regularly, which causes a loss of

Audioengine B1 Bluetooth Music Receiver review

Audioengine B1 2

Lately, I’ve been considering upgrading my Onkyo stereo receiver. It’s about 8 years old and doesn’t have wifi, Bluetooth, USB or even HDMI.
