The WORX Landroid Vision Cloud 4WD is the first robot mower Andrew has tested that makes good on all three of its headline promises: no external RTK station, a base station that actually sits against your house, and edge trimming that actually reduces the need for a string trimmer. After a full week of real-world testing across a complex multi-zone yard, the results held up. If you have a demanding yard and a low tolerance for robot mower compromises, this new to the market product is worth a serious look.



Two weeks into owning his Rivian R1T, Jimmy commits to full body XPEL Stealth paint protection film, drawn in by its self healing properties and matte aesthetic. He walks through what the film and an added ceramic coat actually do, the surprisingly fast one day install at Speed EFX, and exactly how the significant price tag is worth it.


Jimmy is joined by family and friends as he takes his Rivian R1T off-roading for the first time, on a trail rated 3 out of 10 that turns out tougher than expected for a beginner. The truck's four independent motors and over 800 horsepower handle the terrain well, even on road tires never meant for the trail, while the paint protection film erases a round of tree branch pinstriping by the end of the day. Jimmy walks away candid about his own rookie mistakes, from skipping prep work to ordering the wrong wheels a year earlier, but is energized for next time.


After several weeks and nearly daily sessions on the water, Jimmy and Andrew deliver their verdict on the Fliteboard: it is the best PEV either of them has ever ridden, but the $13,000 price tag is a very real barrier. Floating two feet above the water in near silence, with a learning curve that clicks faster than expected and a setup that works just as well on a Colorado reservoir as it does on the ocean, the experience sits in a category of its own. If you have the means, it is worth the investment.


Jimmy went from banned commenter to invited guest at Future Motion headquarters, sitting down with founder Kyle Doerksen for a podcast and coming away with ten things he learned about the company. The biggest ones: the GT's ghosting issues have reportedly been fixed with an updated footpad, and after months away from it, Jimmy called the GT the best Onewheel yet. He also finally got the real story behind why he'd been blocked from Onewheel's own YouTube channel years earlier, which turned out to be a mix up rather than a grudge. True to a promise made in an earlier video, he bought a new GT on camera once he was sufficiently convinced the launch issues were resolved.


Jimmy teams up with Scott Lunt, aka Rivian Dad, for a full walkthrough and test drive of the Rivian R1S, the three row SUV sibling to the R1T truck he's been living with for a year. Beyond covering what's changed (ride height, cabin storage, third row seating) and what hasn't (the same wireless charging pad gripe, the same over engineered climate controls), the pair get behind the wheel to see if it lives up to the highest score Doug DeMuro has ever given a car. Both hosts come away convinced it does, calling it an entirely new class of vehicle that drives like a sports car and off roads like a truck.


Andrew visited BayFoils, a certified Fliteschool location on San Francisco Bay, to find out whether a $350 professional eFoil lesson is worth it before committing to a Fliteboard of your own — the short answer is yes. With wetsuits, helmets with two-way radios, and experienced instructors guiding you through every minute on the water, the Fliteschool experience is the fastest and most accessible way to find out if eFoiling is for you.


Amidst the rising popularity of electric vehicles, Jimmy explains why he sold his four year old Tesla Model 3 just months after buying a Rivian R1T; pointing to a used EV market where tight new car inventory and still high gas prices had pushed resale values higher than he expected to ever see again. With four vehicles in the driveway and the Rivian better suited to hauling the family's scooters and OneWheels, the Tesla became the easy one to let go.

Jimmy took the Onewheel GT for a rented spin around Oahu, and the verdict is clear: more torque, more range, and hill climbing that no longer needs babying. The nose handle, brighter app controlled lights, and an optional treaded tire finally check off years of wishlist items. It's not a clean sweep though, a warning beep too quiet to hear and reports of DOA units and ghosting keep it from perfect, but for anyone cruising under 20 mph, it's a real step up from the XR.



Jimmy and Andrew put Velotric's Thunder 1 and Thunder 1 ST through their paces, finding two nearly identical, eerily quiet Class 1 e-bikes that don't look or sound electric at all. The duo differ mainly in security tech (Velotric's own GPS tracking app on the Thunder 1 versus Apple Find My on the ST) plus a handful of components like handlebar shape, chainring size, and frame sizing. Component quality, especially the Tektro brakes and Shimano Altus derailleur, impressed the team, though both bikes ship without a quick release seatpost or front wheel. The verdict: the Thunder 1 suits riders who want longer range and true GPS tracking, while the lighter priced, smaller sized Thunder 1 ST is the better fit for iPhone owners on a budget.

The NAVEE V50 is a budget commuter scooter with a unique handlebar folding mechanism Jimmy and Andrew have never seen before — the handlebars rotate and lock directly into the steering pole, creating a slim, rigid folded profile. Beyond that standout feature, the V50 delivers disc brakes, a sharp landscape display, IP55 water resistance, and a hidden AirTag slot. The criticism list is short but honest: the display scratches easily, the app is a repurposed smart home platform that feels out of place, and the tubed tires are more flat-prone than tubeless alternatives. For budget-conscious commuters who want the most portable, weather-ready scooter in the category, the V50 is well worth a look.



While Jimmy still loves his Rivian R1T after one year and 15K miles, he's got real gripes: a proprietary infotainment system instead of CarPlay, a power tonneau cover he calls the "Achilles heel," inconsistent highway assist, and fast tire wear from all that instant torque. He also flags smaller annoyances like a wireless charging pad that doesn't work and a finicky Bluetooth lock. But between major OTA improvements, a maturing companion app, and genuine off road and utility chops, Jimmy's verdict hasn't budged, he still calls it his favorite vehicle, and his brother is buying an R1S on his recommendation.

Jimmy spent several weeks putting the OtO Smart Sprinkler through real-world tests in his Colorado yard, tackling brown patches, precision edge watering, drought conditions, and vacation plant care. The verdict: a surprisingly capable targeted watering system that delivers great results without trenches, contractors, or a permanent commitment. It is not a one-unit solution for large properties, and it works best as a precision tool for small to medium spaces, problem zones, and potted plants. For homeowners who want more efficient watering without turning their yard into a construction project, the OtO makes a compelling case to buy.



Jimmy had written off 360 cameras for years, mainly because he thought they were gimmicky and there would be too much editing overhead. That changed when his brother borrowed the Insta360 X3 to attempt a three-week Denali summit and came back with extremely impressive footage. This post breaks down what the expedition revealed about where 360 cameras genuinely earn their place, and why the editing burden is more manageable than it sounds.

The Kandi NFL Golf Cart is a four-seat electric cart available in all 32 NFL team wraps, sold through Lowe's and assembled in Texas, and it delivers a surprisingly premium experience for what is essentially a neighborhood cruiser. Andrew and Jimmy were genuinely impressed by the ride quality, feature set, and the sheer fun factor of rolling around in officially licensed team colors. That said, the cart has some real frustrations: most notably a significant throttle dead zone that makes low-speed maneuvering awkward, turn signals that never self-cancel, and storage compartments that offer no security. It is a strong buy for the right person, but they should know the full extent of the rough edges first.
