REVIEW – The Wand Company has done it again! In 2014, they released a Star Trek Phaser replica worthy of any TV or movie production. In 2016, they released an almost perfect version of the Communicator. Then, a few years later, in 2020. The Wand Company announces it is finally making every Star Trek fan’s […]

REVIEW – As a regular DIYer, I am always up on a ladder fixing something, adding equipment, or building something. Also, I recently built storage areas in the upper space of my garage, and I have been looking for the right ladder to use for access. I think this VEVOR Telescoping Ladder is the answer.

REVIEW – I have a huge 17″ Asus gaming laptop that I bought in 2014, which is not compatible with Win 11, so when MINIX asked me to review their new NEO Z97 mini PC I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to replace my aging laptop but also see what mini PCs have

REVIEW – One of my favorite and most used tech genres is security cameras. I’ve had multiple security cameras around my home for many years. I started with budget WiFi cameras from Wyze and Blink, but in recent years, I’ve switched over to PoE cameras and haven’t looked back. Today, I am going to talk

REVIEW – I hate mowing lawns. Always have, always will. Mainly due to my seasonal allergies, but also because I feel like it’s a never-ending, futile battle against nature. These days, I’m responsible for keeping up my mom’s large, often overgrown property here in the Pacific Northwest, where the grass doesn’t just grow—it thrives, wildly

REVIEW – I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing several REDMAGIC devices here at the Gadgeteer now, including the recent excellent REDMAGIC 10 Pro gaming smartphone. The latest REDMAGIC 10S Pro gaming smartphone from REDMAGIC is nearly the same as the 10 Pro, but with some nifty new features that increase performance in several areas. I
REVIEW – My son and review partner, Mason, has always wanted night vision goggles. He likes to camp, hike, fish and just about anything that gets him into the great outdoors. When we had an opportunity to review the WARMTUYO night vision goggles, he couldn’t wait! (Note: The image above is the default screen, unfortunately,

REVIEW – I am fortunate to have an entire room in my house dedicated to my gym. Finding things to put on the wall in that room has been challenging. I have one full wall taken up with mountains built out of trim wood, so when I ride my stationary bicycle, I can say I

REVIEW – As Gadgeteers, we need power to use many of the products we review. Portable power banks are ubiquitous and considered a staple of many EDC users. The KUXUI S2 Qi2 MagSafe Solid-State Power Bank is different in its battery technology. What are the advantages and differences of using a portable power bank built

REVIEW – I have a hole in my home office, an empty area between my book cases and underneath my gaming shelves. I want to fill it with a small couch where my wife can sit and talk with me while we are planning things together. I am hoping that the Chenille, a sofa bed

REVIEW – I was a kid right when the infamous super-soaker came on the scene in the early 90s (if my memory serves me right). I wanted one so bad, and my mind was all but blown when I was lucky enough to get one for a 4th of July party one year. If only

REVIEW – Ever since I reviewed the Wizmaker L1 a few years ago, I have been wanting to get a more advanced laser engraver. I have been getting into woodworking the past couple of years, and I want an engraver to enhance several of my projects. WeCreat recently announced their new 45-watt Vision Pro laser

REVIEW – I recently reviewed Keychron’s K4 HE mechanical keyboard, and loved it so much I immediately bought a second one when my partner stole the review unit for her own use. Since I don’t do a lot of 10-key work these days, I jumped at the opportunity to review the new K8 HE keyboard,

REVIEW – As I continue to replace all of my network equipment, the next step is to add another Access Point to replace the one I lost when I replaced my Netgear Router with the EnGenius ESG620 VPN Router. Having one that can be installed outdoors would be perfect, since the one I removed was

REVIEW – If you’re a regular visitor/reader of The Gadgeteer, you’ll know that I’m (stuck) in the Apple ecosystem. I have an iPhone, Apple Watch, AirPods, MacBook, and an iPad Pro. This doesn’t mean I’m anti-Android, though, because I also use Android devices, such as the OnePlus 13 smartphone, which I often use as a backup

REVIEW – I haven’t strapped on a pair of skates in decades, but I have fond memories of skating rinks and street hockey as an 80s/90s kid. I loved being able to get around my neighborhood in style, so there was definitely a bit of nostalgia contributing to my willingness to try out the Flying

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed and ridden a few E-bikes and I love seeing the different styles and functionality that different companies incorporate into their designs. Recently, the opportunity to review the CYCROWN Dremax E-bike came up and I jumped at the chance. The way that the battery is incorporated into the frame as well as

REVIEW – My neighbor is an electrician, and like a lot of folks in the professional trades, he travels to the job sites where he works. He brings his own tools, which are inevitably piled into the back of a large pickup, and then hauls them around from room-to-room as he works. For craftsmen like

REVIEW – Not three months ago, I reviewed the Ultimea Aura A60 7.1 soundbar. I was pleasantly surprised at the sound I was able to get from that small package with Dolby Atmos to boot. Today I’m back with the Ultimea Poseidon D80 Boom 7.1 soundbar, and I’m here to tell you it’s a worthy

REVIEW – I’ve flown drones since the earliest days of cheap(ish) consumer drones, including the DJI Spark in 2017. Since then, I’ve used quite a few DJI drones, ranging from Mini’s and Air’s up to various Mavics (which are bigger and heavier than the sub-250g compact drone type). I’ve also used other brands like the
