REVIEW – Everyone is taking pictures on their phones. I remember growing up, it was rare to have my picture taken because it was such a pain to get film developed, and then you were not even sure your picture would come out ok. Now that phones are loaded with pictures, it would be nice

I live in a two-bedroom apartment with a partner, a kid, and just enough room to avoid tripping over toys and laundry baskets. So, when I heard about the AEKE K1 AI Powered Smart Home Gym – a sleek, AI-powered home gym that promised full-body workouts without taking over your living space – I was
REVIEW – I had one of those fancy articulating monitor arms once. As monitors get larger and heavier, the HUANUO TitanLife Heavy Duty Monitor Arm feels exactly like your every day stand, but beefier. Does this monitor arm really deserve the title of “Heavy Duty”? ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $139.99 MSRP ($89.99 at the time

REVIEW – It’s fall, and that means I’m back at my day gig, teaching and molding the youth of our great nation. That, in turn, means I’m in need of many, many margaritas. The HiCozy F3 Slushie Machine & Soft Serve Ice Cream Machine landed on my doorstep JUST IN TIME! ⬇︎ Jump to summary

REVIEW – I prefer a larger phone. The larger the screen size, the better for me. But here’s the problem with oversized phones: they’re expensive, fragile, and almost guaranteed to take a tumble at the worst possible moment. That’s where the UAG Monarch Pro Kevlar iPhone 17 Pro Max Case comes in. This case is

REVIEW – Electric skateboards aren’t new, but the technology just keeps getting better. Backfire Boards sent their Zealot S3 for review and having grown up skateboarding in a town with huge hills, I was excited to see just what kind of torque I was going to get. I was not expecting the amazing execution level

REVIEW – I fell in love with bikes in my late 20’s when I decided to bike 10 miles each way to and from work. I discovered that I loved being outdoors and seeing sunrises and feeling the fresh air. Since those days, I’ve bought and reviewed so many bikes and motorcycles that I’ve lost

REVIEW – Several months ago, my kids bought me a PS5. Yep, they bought their old man a new gaming console to replace my failing PS4. And yes, I have the best kids out there. The problem now is that to play multiplayer games, we all have to communicate from different rooms. A couple of

REVIEW – When I want to escape from adulting, it usually involves reading, movies, or crafting. A good speaker makes all the difference in turning a getaway into a full-blown vacation. The Edifier Hecate G2000 Pro 2.0 speakers are a perfect conduit for escaping reality, or at least listening to music and having a dance
REVIEW – We have seen wet/dry vacuums flooding (heh) the small appliance market for some time now and I have loved many of them. However, if you have hardwood, tile, etc., and live in your home, what do you more than likely also have? Rugs. This is where I found such a shortfall of all

REVIEW – If your knives are showing their age, the PAUDIN Knife Block Set promises a complete kitchen refresh at a compelling price: $79 down from $170. That’s a 53% discount for German high-carbon steel blades, but does the quality justify the investment, or will you be reaching for the sharpener sooner than expected? I

REVIEW – I think most homeowners have experienced the “yell-real-loud-when-this-light-turns-off” scenario. You know the one: you post your loved one next to a bulb or outlet-plugged device while you trek to the circuit breaker panel, flipping switches one by one until you either plunge the entire house into darkness or finally hear them screaming, “That’s

REVIEW – When you’re starting fresh in a new house, storage space disappears fast. My friends are learning this the hard way with stacks of books, board games, and knick-knacks claiming every flat surface. They need a bookcase that can actually organize their life, and one with a drawer and doors to hide the clutter

REVIEW – For someone who has cameras covering every room of my apartment to keep an eye on my pup Addy, I wasn’t really in the market for another security device. But I live on a street in Seattle with frequent vehicle break-ins, and my truck sits exposed every night. That said, when the chance
REVIEW – Every year during fire season the sky gets hazy and the air gets a little thicker outside. I’ve seen a number of reports of the dangers of air pollution on our health, so I’ve been looking for a new air filter to add to my home. The Burtran A31 Nano-Oxy HEPA 14 Air
REVIEW – I’ve been without a propane grill for a couple of years now, using a pellet grill for smoking meat, and using a small electric grill for times when I just wanted to cook something quickly. The R.W.FLAME G20B Propane Gas Grill review offer came along, and it looked like the perfect small grill

REVIEW – Hello, my name is Julie and I’m a security camera addict. There, I said it and I embrace it. I love having lots of cameras on my property. I have five PoE cameras that I run through my Synology Surveillance Station, and for areas where I can’t run Ethernet cables, I have several

REVIEW – I love to take pictures. Who doesn’t, right? Before digital cameras, we had to take our pictures to a photo lab to get them developed. When you got them back, you had a stack of photos and a bunch of negatives. The problem for me was what to do with the negatives. Well,
