Kinesis K2 solar/wind charger
“Green” is a bit of a theme this year and solar chargers have started appearing in a variety of shapes and sizes. the Kinesis K2 takes the concept further by adding a wind turbine for additional generating power.
On the plus side it needs extremely little wind to spin, on the downside it adds a fair bit of size to the charger and is less efficient than solar. Still, power is power and if you really need to juice up the iPod out in the boonies after the sun goes down (or you live in the UK and never see any sun) you don’t have many other options at the moment.
Our favorite portable ice maker is the Sentern Portable Countertop Clear. The quality of ice cubes this machine produces is above all the others we’ve looked at. Its superior insulation allows you to store ice in it for an extended period of time.
After careful evaluation or top choice is the ”[amazon. The five blade assemblies included in the initial purchase are doing an incredible job and will be more than enough for home-use.
Our favorite vegetable chopper is the Fullstar Mandoline Slicer. It offers a vegetable cutter, mandoline slicer, and spiralizer all in one package. On top of that you’ll get a large collection bin and it’s made from BPA-free plastic.
Our favorite mesh Wi-Fi system is the TP LINK Deco M5. It allows you to connect up to 100 devices and covers 5,500 square feet, which would even be enough for an office.

This thing is so cool cant wait to get one!! I’ve heard there’s a new one out that’s more durable called the K3 and can also be charged through the wall. All the adapters are stored inside the device so all you need to do is carry around this one piece. SWEET!
The new version of the K2 is the K3, which is a tribrid – you can charge it with sun, wind or through the wall plug. It’s been upgraded from the CES and has a bigger internal battery and bigger wind turbine. More info at company website http://www.kinesisindustries.com.
