REVIEW – I didn’t live in a dorm in college, nor did I live in apartments that had laundry facilities. Keeping clothes clean was daunting, inconvenient, and sometimes destructive. On one occasion, a timed lock on a laundromat door stranded me without my clothes, belongings, and car keys, resulting in a close encounter with the […]

REVIEW – I mostly walk around the house barefoot, so keeping the floors squeaky clean is essential. Vacuuming and mopping using the Ultenic MC1 vacuum happens thrice weekly. Visually, they look great, and I seldom feel any dirt underfoot, but I was surprised with the crud Ultenic’s AC1 Elite cordless wet/dry vacuum cleaner picked up. What

REVIEW – My 58-year-old house still had the original, outdated, inefficient ceiling fans. I’m doing all I can to increase energy efficiency, and I jumped at the chance to look at Hampton Bay’s Wi-Fi and cloud-connected Zandra 52-inch ceiling fan. Fellow Gadgeteers, please join me for a deeper look. What is it? The Hampton Bay
REVIEW – My wife stating, “Honey, it’s cold in here,” combined with the review opportunity for TURBRO’s 12,000 BTU Wi-Fi enabled mini-split, ductless AC, and heat pump system, prompted a complete home theater makeover. How did it go? Read on, fellow Gadgeteers! What is it? The TURBRO GL12K115 is a ductless air conditioner and heater
REVIEW – I’ve tried hundreds of multitools, but none suit my needs better than Leatherman. I’ve had one as my constant companion since 1984 when the original PST (Personal Survival Tool) replaced a gaggle of gear required for college classes. Initially introduced in 2005, the Leatherman Surge has received a few makeovers and is still

REVIEW – Ultenic is a relatively new company, launching its first cordless (Models U10 and U11) and robotic vacuums (Model D5 and T10) in 2021. Their new flagship, MC1, has earned a place in my “orderly enthusiast” home, especially for mopping hardwood floors. Please join me for a closer look. What is it? The Ultenic

REVIEW – Printing on small stuff can be challenging and aggravating, if not impossible. I’ve misloaded envelopes countless times (add growling and snarling sounds here), and printing even smaller labels was out of the question. Now, it’s easy with Bentsai’s BT-HH6105B2 handheld printer. What is it? The Bentsai model BT-HH6105B2 is a rechargeable, pistol-grip, hand-operated
REVIEW – Doing laundry isn’t one of my favorite jobs, but it’s as sure as death and taxes. Clothes get dirty, and keeping them clean can be a pain. LG’s WM6998HBA Washer/Dryer Combo makes the chore easier with a boatload of fancy features. I liked it so much I bought the companion “Sidekick” washer! What
REVIEW – In 2021, FEMA reported 353,500 house fires, 2840 deaths, 11,400 injuries, and $8.8 billion in loss. In the same year, there were 1,067 carbon monoxide fatalities. All were tragic, and many were preventable. With sugar on top, please protect your property, yourself, and loved ones with detectors like the Wi-Fi Connected Smoke and
REVIEW – I’ve always been a major movie buff. At one point, I went to the cinema four or five times a week until COVID-19. During this time, cocooning became a thing we all had to do, and golly gee, I missed it. If you have a flair for film or want larger-than-life sports at
REVIEW – Some years ago, I had a snowblower with a gas engine of a similar size and shape to the Worx in this review. It was frequently frustrating and a pain in the patoot to start. The fuel smelled awful, stalled at the most inopportune times, and I damaged my rotator cuff trying to

REVIEW – I previously reviewed Longer’s 30W B1 with air assist (read it here) and have loved it since. The combination of raw power, ultra-fast cutting, and air assist made it the go-to machine for engraving and cutting. They’ve released an even more powerful version, topping at 48 watts for the fastest results. Please join
REVIEW – I’ve used an air fryer for several years and appreciate its utility, speed, and convenience. I use it far more than my oven, it doesn’t turn my kitchen into a sauna in the summer months, and reducing the amount of oil I consume is a healthy bonus. HYSapientia’s Air Fryer Oven has impressive
REVIEW – If you ask a dozen witnesses for a report of an event, you’ll get 12 different versions. When stuff happens, dashcams like Pelsee’s P12 Pro Max dashcam should be an integral part of every chariot for protection from shenanigans or reminisce of road trips! Let’s have a closer look… What is it?
REVIEW – Several years ago my vehicle suffered a mechanical failure stranding my family at a campground at the north end of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel. It was an easy fix, but the nearest auto parts store was miles away with no bicycle, taxi, or ridesharing available. A park ranger took me to
