Travel Wifi (formerly TEP Wireless) is a global company with a simple mission: to keep you connected to the Internet while traveling. They do this by providing wifi hotspot devices (for rent or purchase) that can be used on 6 different continents.

About the wifi devices

The Pocket Travel Wi devices are the size and shape of a small smartphone. The standard Hotspot Rental and The Sapphire 2 (for purchase) share a similar design with one but on and one mini-USB charging port. However, it’s important to note that these devices are not waterproof. When fully charged, they should last around 12 hours with fairly regular wifi use. Additionally, the Sapphire 2 model features indicator lights displaying signal strength and battery life.

Renting vs. Buying the travel wifi device

The cost of purchasing a travel wifi device is $89-$109, and then you pay on top of that for data packages ($29.9 for 20 GB in a month). Most frequent travelers buy their own device for convenience

The rental price is based on the total number of days that you’ll keep the device and how much data you want to use each day. Daily rents range from $6.9 for 1GB, $129 for 2GB to $16.9 for 3GB. Week pass ($45.9) with no data limit is also a good choice for short-term travelers.

This double-duty machine offers flexibility thanks to two separately controlled washers in the same unit. The bottom is built for extra-large loads and has super-cleaning cycle options, which include sanitizing and steam settings. You even have the ability to add up to five rinses （漂洗）onto a cycle to remove every bit of detergent （洗衣液）from larger items like a jacket.

In our tests, GE's washing skills rival more expensive machines. This classic top-loader is super-straightforward to use. We're impressed that at this price it offers options like an up to two-hour automatic presoak, deep fill and rinse for more customized water levels, has very good capacity, and is Energy Star Qualified.

This washer has a traditional center agitator （搅拌器），but is still so huge inside. You'll never notice any compromise in capacity. While it's energy-saving and efficient, you can add more water if you'd like to with the Deep Fill option.

This mighty mini is a Good Housekeeping Seal holder for good reason: Its deceptively large interior and space-saving exterior make it the perfect choice to install in small homes, apartments, or as second-floor laundry in a closet or bathroom.
