25L Brass Monkey Portable Fridge : Budget Friendly and Works Great with Minor Imperfection

Keep your food and drinks cold for day trips and light-packed weekenders with the 25L Brass Monkey Fridge. Despite being relatively small, this compact portable fridge features just enough space appropriate for day trips and light-packed weekenders. The Brass Monkey Fridge is suitable for 12V systems, and it has a three-stage low battery cutout to prevent damage to your battery from overcharging. Additionally, the Brass Monkey Fridge has two compartments (i.e. being freezer and fridge) and its features include digital temperature controls, USB port, touch controls, and low energy consumption. 

Although the unit is relatively small and light (at approximately 12.1Kg), the Brass Monkey Fridge still has outstanding cooling power. Moreover, due to the high-density foam insulation, the Brass Monkey Fridge freezer can chill your food down to -20C. Notwithstanding, it appears that the insulation may not be thick enough as, under extreme heat, there would be condensation on the surface of the fridge.

PRO: Budget friendly and works great

• Relatively cheaper than similar models from peers such as Engel and Dometic
• Features two compartments that can be used as either a fridge or freezer
• Temperature ranges from +20°C to −20°C
• Comes with 3-years warranty
• Brass Monkey app controlled

CON: Relatively thin insulation

• Condensation appearing under extreme heat due to thin insulation

CON: Not suitable for large group or longer trip

• Having a capacity of 25L, Brass Monkey Fridge is not suitable for big family or longer trip

Theragun Pro Review: Powerful High-End Massage Gun

Massage guns have become increasingly popular in recent year, helping users, whether a pro athlete or just someone who hunches over a desk all day, to ease sore muscles, reduce tension and enhance muscle recovery. Due to its power, comfort, and design, the Theragun Pro from Therabody is arguably one of the top massage guns available. However, it is expensive and may be an overkill for a casual user.

Based on our experience, Theragun Pro provides an exceptionally intense massage experience. Even without exerting much pressure, we could feel each hit penetrates deep into the muscle. That said, if you prefer light and gentle massages, then Theragun Pro may not be the best option for you. While some people may find intense massage relaxing and enjoyable, that level of intensity may be too much for others.

Speed and Battery

Comes with six different massage attachment, the Theragun Pro can hit the muscle at a maximum PPM (percussions per minute) of 2400 per minute. Although this may sound a lot, surprisingly there are plenty other models with higher PPM. We do not, however, consider this as a major drawback as even at the lowest speed setting of 1750, we felt sufficient intensity and did not need to ramp up the speed to the device’s upper limit. I’m pleased to learn that the Theragun Pro comes with two rechargeable batteries instead of one. However, considering its hefty price tag, I wish the battery life could have last longer.

Comfort and Ease of Use

Though it may take a little bit of trial and error to figure the best settings, the Theragun Pro is quite intuitive to use. Moreover, the Theragun Pro also features a rotating arm, which makes it easier to use on any spot that is awkward to reach. The Theragun Pro is heavier and louder than average massage gun, which is not a surprise, considering its power and strength.

PRO: Powerful device with quality built

• Powerful and sturdy device that provides intense massage
• The percussive therapy gets deep into the muscles to release tension
• Customizable speed range (of up to 2,400 PPM)
• Patented triangular handle enables multiple grip options

PRO: Great features and support

• Designed for both professional and personal use
• Bluetooth connectivity to free Therabody app
• Features OLED screen with Force meter
• Includes 6 different interchangeable massage attachments
• Comes with 2-year warranty

CON: Premium price with moderate battery life

• Relatively expensive compared to other massage guns available in the market
• Battery life do not last as long after frequent use

CON: Loud and heavy to use

• Relatively loud noise output making it not suitable to use in a quiet environment
• Weighing almost 3 lbs, the Theragun Pro feels heavy on hand

Vtech RM7754HD Baby Monitor: A mid-level HD monitor with potential security flaws – $249.30 at Amazon.com.au →

Vtech RM7754HD 7″ Smart Wi-Fi Baby Monitor with 1080p HD

Don’t let its numerical name deter you, Vtech RM7754HD baby monitor is a solid and quality baby monitor which offers any parents, whether first time or veteran, a great peace of mind. Vtech RM7754HD is easy to set up and stays reliably connected through Wi-Fi network. Parents can see and hear their baby at home, or even on-the-go through the MyVtech Baby app.  Although comes with great features and support, MyVtech Baby app offers free lifetime remote access at no added costs or monthly subscription.

I love the fact that Vtech RM7754HD’s camera transmits 1080P high-definition video and comes with a portable extra-large 7-inches colour LCD parent unit. Thanks to these, parents are able to monitor their little ones with crystal clear pictures, whether they are just waking up, sucking on their thumb, or about to drift to sleep. Vtech RM7754HD also features a high-powered infrared LED. Parents can clearly see their little ones, even during nighttime when the lamp has been turned off.

Last but not least, I also appreciate that Vtech RM7754HD comes with a built-in night lamp (3 colours available). On top of that, it also features a handful selection of soothing sounds and lullabies. The soothing sound and lullabies can help our little ones drift to sleep. With these added features, I just saved an extra $60-$80 instantly by not having to buy separate device(s). Aside from the quality sound and picture, for the price tag, I wish Vtech RM7754HD’s parent unit battery could last longer. But this should not be an issue for parents who spend most of their time accessing the monitor via MyVtech Baby.

• Plenty of other options for baby monitor under $200 albeit with less features

CON: Average battery life and always require Wi-Fi connection

• Batteries don’t last more than a day
• Parent unit needs to be turned off when not in used to save battery
