Yahoo Tech’s experts named nine gadgets they use, recommend and would replace if broken: a dual-USB-C cable, Wi-Fi extender, surge-protected power strip, Bluetooth tracker, TV antenna, wireless mouse, Echo Dot, laptop power bank and smart lock.
The article discloses that Yahoo may earn a commission from purchases made through its links. A writer said the TP-Link AC1200 extender solved Wi-Fi dropouts in the back of her house and basement; the Pebblebee Clip 5 can make a misplaced phone ring. The Anker power strip has 12 AC outlets, and the TV antenna can receive free broadcast channels where over-the-air reception is reliable.
The Anker 25,000mAh power bank has two built-in cables and can charge a laptop or smaller devices; one expert uses an Echo Dot to manage household shopping lists by voice. The dual-headed Anker cable charges two USB-C devices from one charger port. A reviewer uses the Logitech M720 to control laptop-based streaming, while the Schlage Encode is presented as a keyless-entry option.
