159 thoughts on “Spring 2019 gadget giveaway!”




  1. Gadgeteer Comment Policy - Please read before commenting
  2. The Eve Aqua. My town has water bans/reduced usage and I always forget to water during the “ok” times, leading to a very brown lawn.

  3. Kano: Computer Kit Touch – this would be a lot of fun to build with my youngest and provide an outlet for her computer gaming/learning needs.

  4. The keyport tools, because I love how they are modular as opposed to other multitools while also being slim, sharp, and seemingly well built.

  5. The audio recorder, certainly! I need something to take down the thoughts that inevitably occur to me ONLY when I’m driving, in the shower, etc. As I age, my short-term memory is fleeting. I don’t have (or, really, deserve) a Boswell to follow me around and take my dictation.

  6. Vancito Wallace

    I’m most excited to win the Phone Soap! It’s a great product I just think it’s over priced.

  7. I’m interested in the Awair Glow. I have allergies and it might be good to get some corroborating data.

  8. I am most excited about Kano: Computer Kit Touch. I think it would be really interesting and great way to build skills and have fun.

  9. Craig James Huang

    Phonesoap – I think our smartphones are pretty germ-laden and instead of using alcohol or bleach to wipe it down, this seems a whole lot easier and safer.

  10. Subscribed to the newsletter and following the RSS feed. The item I’m most excited about is the Roland Audio Recorder. I’ve been in so many looooong meetings lately where this would have come in handy

  11. Which of these prizes are you most excited to win and why? The Kano computer so I can share it with my children.

    I am already a subscriber.

  12. I would really enjoy the PhoneSoap cleaner, as I carry a personal and work phone daily in law enforcement, and it would be great to know they could both be clean easily. What a great idea! Thanks.

  13. Just subscribed to the newsletter.

    Must tickled by the boombox so that I could listen to tunes while on my tractor!

  14. I’d love the solar powered flashlight since I live in Colorado where sun is plentiful and hiking is necessary 🙂

  15. Lynette Tuggle

    The Kenu Airframe Wireless. I’ve been looking for a great phone charger/displayer and haven’t found it yet.

  16. Brandon Turner

    I would love to have the phone soap. I know that cell phones are one of the most filthy things we touch everyday & would lime to have a device that doesn’t have so much bacteria on it.

  17. Definitely the Eve Aqua. We’re in an ongoing lawn rehab here in NC, and this would shave considerable time off the watering duties. Also, we do get the Gadgeteer News Letter.

  18. Richard D Schulte

    Kano computer kit. Hoping to get my nephew away for gaming all the time and experimenting with creating.

    Also a newsletter subscriber.

  19. I have chosen the E. Lumen Solar Flashlight as the prize I most wish to win. I realize I need a sturdy, long lasting and dependable light for keeping safe and functional. I have subscribed to the newsletter.

  20. To me, Adero: The First Intelligent Organization System is the most interesting for me. As a Smart Luggage is something that’s interesting, but something I haven’t felt the need to have from a capability. And this would allow me to test that.

  21. Arthur McTaggart

    I’d be tickled pink to win the Moodo Diffuser. Get some of the stinky out of the office I share with a million other people!

  22. PhoneSoap – I have always wanted something like this for my cell phone. It’s concept reminds me of the devise made for sanitizing ones toothbrush!

  23. I’m most interested in the Kenu Airframe Wireless charger.

    I’m contemplating a Qi charger for the car, and that would fit the bill.

  24. I’d be most excited to win the Kano computer kit. My kids have expressed interest in this kind of thing and I want to let them explore to see if they want to pursue more advanced computer-engineering type projects with me down the line.

  25. Eve Aqua – I need this because I always leave the sprinkler running way too long. Plus, I’m really lazy and hate going out to turn it off.

  26. I am most excited about the Mujo wallet iPhone case because I hate carrying my wallet around and they make great cases.

  27. All the prizes look great but I’m most excited about the Keyport Anywhere Tools because I want to simplify my keychain.

  28. I’m a subscriber to the newsletter. I re-subscribed just in case. Crossing my fingers … 4/11 can’t come soon enough!

  29. 1- The Kano : Computer Kit Touch
    Because my kids are in that age group where learning to code with this item seems both effective and fun.

    2-Already subscribed to the newsletter.

  30. Definitely the awair. I build air quality sensors for school and would love to see how they compare to commercial products.

  31. Karen Perez Kuryla

    Kano: Computer Kit Touch
    My boys are very computer game oriented. It would be great to have something close to their passion that will incorporate a learning opportunity.

  32. The Roland recorder – I’ve been in the market for a recorder for a while but have not been able to choose one.

  33. I’m most excited about the Moodo diffuser. I love that it’s got so many combinations and is controlled by smartphone.

  34. The SCOSCHE: BoomBottle looks like a great bottle I can take to work with me so I can play my music and not have my drink spill all over.

  35. The Awair Glow is to me the most exciting. Perhaps I can get confirmation that allergies is what is bugging my eyes, or not.

  36. I would most be interested in the boom bottle. Combines two of my favorite things, I love water and I love music.

  37. We just bought a new Subaru Ascent and the Kenu Airframe Wireless would be a perfect and useful addition to the interior.

  38. I have to say the SoapPhone. Why, well… I use my phone a lot and really until I read this I never really thought about the germs on my phone (I remember seeing a review but skimmed by it).

    I have to say, the tags… what happens if you forget your phone. I am always forgetting my phone. The tags are useless to me, if I do not have my phone. Well, that was my first reaction reading it.

  39. the Roland R-07 audio recorder would really make me happy. As I am forever writing myself notes and list and then losing them.

  40. Which of these prizes are you most excited to win and why? The Kenu. Because it will solve a hurry up and go issue I have when I pop into the truck. As well as making sure to keep it charge quickly. The others are great. But this one particular one fill my needs.

  41. I would love to get the Sphero Mini fir my kids and the Adero kit for the family since we travel a lot and the kids keep forgetting things in their bags

  42. For me, it is the PhoneSoap. I like that it works with all operating systems, charges the phone and cleans it. I have to be honest, I am a bit phobic about germs lol.

  43. They are all great prizes but the phonesoap wireless interests me the most because I know I’d get so much use out of it and love what it does.
