Pitaka MagEZ Car Mount Pro 2 for Tesla review – A great charger with mount troubles

PMCM 13

REVIEW – As our phones become more and more integrated into how we operate our vehicles it becomes increasingly important to have them securely mounted to the dash within sight and out of hand. Finding the right solution for your particular car can be tricky, but Pitaka has a new entry to help. With both […]

ESR Classic Hybrid MagSafe Case for iPhone 15 Pro and Power Bank Wallet review

ESRM 01

REVIEW – Phones cost enough that a case is all but required to protect your investment. That doesn’t mean you can’t still show off your phone or your personal style. ESR’s Classic Hybrid MagSafe Case offers lots of protection in a clear package and for my review they also sent along their Power Bank Wallet

Mbacco Wallet review – Not too big or too small, exactly right

MBCW 01 1

REVIEW – Minimalist wallets have been a thing for a while now, but the thing is many of us need more than 2 to 3 cards on us. ID, main credit card and… how do you down-select? Medical, EV Valet, corporate cc? Okay, need a bigger wallet. So here’s an interesting option from Mbacco. Compact

TwoTrees SK1 CoreXY 3D Printer review – Affordable speed and quality

TTSK 01

REVIEW – 3D printers just keep getting better and better. The best machine is still likely to be one you already have and know how to use, but if you’re looking for new features or faster speeds, or are just getting ready to drop cash on your first printer, there’s never been a better time.

Feizbo L-Shaped Basic Standing Desk review – Great value and Up to you (or Down)

FLST 01

REVIEW – Have you upgraded to a standing desk yet? Sitting in one position for too long isn’t good, so it’s worth investigation. I switched a few years ago and haven’t looked back. We recently converted a bedroom into an office for my wife using some extra mismatched desks from lockdown times. It was time

Secretlab TITAN Evo Gaming Chair review – Way too good to be a secret

SLTE 01

REVIEW – Think about where you clock most of your hours. Sleep and work probably rank right up there. Your desk might be for work or gaming but either way it’s a lot of time sitting and in my opinion quality and good ergonomics are worth paying for. Secretlab’s TITAN Evo gaming chair recently arrived

ELEHEAR Alpha Pro hearing aids review – Is this OTC solution for you?

EAHA 07

REVIEW – Late last year (2022) the FDA issued a final rule that improves access to hearing aids with the creation of a new category OTC or Over-The-Counter where devices can be purchased without medical approval. The Alpha Pros from ELEHEAR fall into that category and at $999 they seem like a bargain compared to

Aer Travel Weekender review – Have duffle, will travel

AWTD 01

REVIEW – Aer got their start by crowdfunding a combination gym/office bag and as they approach a 10 year anniversary next year, they now have quite an exhaustive collection of bags and travel essentials. I still have their first generation Travel Pack and after all this time it’s barely showing any wear. So a chance

Obsbot Tiny 2 4K Webcam and Smart Remote 2 review – Do AI, Gestures and Voice Control make a better experience?

OT24 01

REVIEW – Most external monitors (even the fancy ones) don’t have built-in webcams, and if they do it’s nothing to write home about. Most laptops do have one built in, but they’re almost always just “good-enough”. Even a great, built-in webcam cannot match what’s possible for a webcam with a cutting edge image sensor, gimbal,

LuluLook Titanium Link Strap for Apple Watch & Sapphire Tempered Glass with Titanium Frame review

LTLS 01

REVIEW – If the headline gave you a little deja-vu, you’re not alone. I reviewed the Titanium Band from LuluLook in April of this year. This is not that band. It is a new one called the Titanium Link Strap. It’s still titanium and it’s still a band designed for the Apple Watch Ultra. LuluLook

Autel MaxiCharger AC Elite Home 40A EV Charger review – EV charging simplicity

AMEV 01

REVIEW – As electric vehicles continue to increase in popularity, public charging stations are becoming more congested. If you have a driveway or garage where you can install a dedicated EV charger, it will pay off pretty quickly in terms of both cost and time saved. This time around I have the 40A MaxiCharger from

Pitaka MagEZ Slider 2 review – Faster, better, stronger

PMZ2 01

REVIEW – Back in May of 2022, I reviewed Pitaka’s MagEZ Slider. There was a lot to like and a couple of things to improve upon. Version 2 is now out and they’ve addressed pretty much everything I was looking for. As luck would have it, I had a week long tradeshow during this review

Velotric Thunder 1 EBike review – Beautiful, integrated and should get even better with app updates

VT1E 01

REVIEW – I’ve always loved bicycles… and gadgets and while electric bicycles have been around a while now, it’s only within the last 10 years that their sophistication and affordability has brought them front and center. Electrifying a bicycle enables one to go further with less effort, charge harder, or arrive at work without having
