SSPai Editors Share Hands-On Reviews of Recent Gadgets and Home Items

Editor Xiao Kui spent 109 yuan on a 66-centimeter-long enclosed cat litter box after struggling with scattered litter. The box can be used fully or semi-enclosed, and its height prevents litter from spilling. After a month of use, Xiao Kui said the amount of litter tracked around the home has dropped significantly, though cleaning requires removing the top and grid, which is more cumbersome than a traditional open box. Xiao Kui recommends the product for cats that tend to dig aggressively, but notes that a simple open box with higher walls may suffice for calmer cats.

Editor Clyde paid 2,340 yuan for the Li Auto AI glasses Livis. Unlike AR smart glasses, the Livis has no display, resembling ordinary eyewear. It offers custom Zeiss lenses, built-in speakers, cameras, and integration with Li Auto's AI assistant, MindGPT, as well as vehicle controls such as opening the trunk or summoning the car. Clyde praised the optical options and the 15-degree outward swivel on the hinges. However, he noted several downsides: the temple area can feel warm in summer, the "driver's independent sound field" feature does not route the in-car voice assistant to the glasses, data transfer between the glasses and phone is slow, and the Android app has been crashing on the Android 17 QPR beta for nearly three months despite his feedback. He also said the camera's field of view is reduced due to stabilization and cropping.

Editor Bei Wu purchased a pair of adjustable dumbbells for 582.94 yuan from a second-hand marketplace. The 24-kilogram pair, which he described as an export-focused factory product without a brand, is much cheaper than comparable options on mainstream e-commerce platforms. He found the adjustment mechanism convenient, allowing weight changes in about ten seconds. The main drawback is that the plates wobble during lifts, which can affect stability, especially in exercises like goblet squats. Despite this, he recommends adjustable dumbbells for people who want to work out at home, citing their convenience and cost-effectiveness.
