The Fujifilm Instax Mini 9 is the budget pick in our guide to the best instant camera. Erin Lodi writes, “If you’re not seeking high dynamic range and sharp detail from the family barbecue party pics, the Mini 9 is smaller and fun to pass around, and its results will be good enough to commemorate such casual occasions. Plus, at 3.4 by 2.1 inches (with borders), the photos are just a tad smaller than a credit card, making them perfect for toting around in your wallet.”

The Kwikset Premis is an also great pick in our guide to the best smart lock. Jon Chase writes, “Kwikset’s Premis is an ANSI Grade 2 deadbolt replacement keypad model that integrates with Apple’s HomeKit system, making it easy to set up and allowing for basic voice control via Siri. You can lock and unlock, or simply check its status (“Hey Siri, is the back door locked?”). Remote access is largely seamless, so adding or deleting new user codes to your primary home, vacation home, or Airbnb can be accomplished with a few swipes of your iPhone.”

The Jabra Elite Active 65t are the top pick in our guide to the best wireless workout headphones. Lauren Dragan writes, “We love the Jabra Elite Active 65t because this pair has everything we want in a set of workout headphones and then some. The earbuds are comfortable, they stay put during even the most high-impact moves, they’re very sweat resistant, they have easy-to-use controls, they sound great, and they offer a battery life long enough for even marathon exercise sessions. Even better, they sound clear on phone calls, charge quickly, and come with an impressive two-year warranty against sweat and dust.”

The HyperX Cloud Pro is a variant of the top pick in our guide to the best gaming headset. Dennis Burger writes, “After thoroughly testing nearly 70 headsets for over the course of two-and-a-half years, our testers still agree that Kingston’s HyperX Cloud is the right gaming headset for most people, thanks to its excellent long-term comfort, great sound quality for the price, light weight, exceptional build quality, and fantastic durability. After roughly thirty months of nearly constant use and abuse, including several road trips in which it was thrown into a backpack sans case, our original test unit still looks like we took it out of the packaging yesterday.”

The 4 TB Seagate Backup Plus Portable is the also great pick in our guide to the best portable hard drive. Justin Krajeski writes, “If you care more about price and storage space than size, you should get the 4 TB Seagate Backup Plus Portable. It costs less per terabyte than the 2 TB Backup Plus Slim, and it was about as fast when reading and writing HD Tune transfer tests. The 4 TB model was slower in our other tests though, and it’s much thicker and heavier than the Slim.”

The Nix Advance (8-inch) is the also great pick in our guide to the best digital photo frame. Amadou Diallo writes, “If you prefer loading your images via SD card or USB stick instead, Nixplay’s Nix Advance will save you a significant bit of cash while still providing all of the other benefits of our top pick, aside from wireless connectivity. You get the same great screen, motion sensor, and remote, along with easy setup and operation. And Nixplay helpfully includes an 8 GB USB stick to get you going.”

The Huawei MediaPad M5 8.4 is the top pick in our guide to the best android tablets. Ryan Whitwam writes, “The 8.4-inch Huawei MediaPad M5 offers the best combination of hardware specs, software features, and price for most Android tablet buyers. The display has a higher resolution than the one on Apple’s 9.7-inch iPad, and the processor has plenty of power to spare. The MediaPad is compact and lightweight, and it has a durable aluminum frame that isn’t as slippery as glass.”

Mark Smirniotis writes, “We found the Elite to be a nice vaporizer overall, with simple controls, vapor that our testers enjoyed, and a sleek design that was portable and functional. The Elite still has a similar battery life that lasts three to four bowls, convenient Micro-USB charging, and satisfying vapor that makes it a good value”
