FVeB 01

REVIEW – There are few things that bring me as much happiness as riding bicycles. When it comes to running errands, a cargo ebike removes a lot of hurdles and even may create an opportunity for removing the need for a car. The Flyer Via is a great example. It’s a kid carrier out of

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,
