Noesis Florio vacuum review – It just might change your mind about robot vacuums

Noesis Florio 1

REVIEW – Years ago, I thought about getting an iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaner—until my wife squashed that idea like a bug. Her objections were quite valid at the time. We have dogs—and dogs sometimes have accidents. There were too many stories of robot vacuums covering the floor with those accidents. So we relied on vacuuming […]

DEAL NEWS – The Fourth of July is one of those times when families just have to cook out. It’s almost a law in the US. If you’re dreading backyard barbecues because of rusted, dirty gas or charcoal grills, maybe it’s time to consider something different such as a wood pellet grill from Z Grills.

Decrum Bomber Leather jacket 18

REVIEW – After seeing the title, you might be wondering why a jacket is being reviewed on The Gadgeteer. Fair question. An article of leather clothing is not even remotely a gadget. However . . . a jacket can hold gadgets, right? Okay, it’s a stretch, but we’ll take it because everyone possesses at least

Tribit XSound Plus 2 19

REVIEW – Reviewing the new Tribit XSound Plus 2 has presented me with a dilemma. I’ve reviewed many Tribit speakers (and still use many daily) and I’m not sure I can be unbiased. Each speaker Tribit makes has proven to be a bargain that also sounds like it costs more. I keep waiting for them

Huion Kamvas Pro 27 graphics display review – a pro that’s big in size and features but reasonable in price

Huion Pro 27 15

REVIEW – As someone who has been using Wacom graphics and display tablets for most of my career as an art director, I (finally) began to chafe at how expensive Wacom tablets became. It’s now even more true when you factor in price vs. quality. True, Wacom was—and still may be—the best money can buy.

Ekster Finder Card 3

REVIEW – Let me state up front that I own 4 Apple AirTags and find them incredibly useful. However, they are a bit bulky which limits their usefulness. I always wanted to hide one in my wallet “just in case”. Well, now I can—but it ain’t from Apple. Wallet maker Ekster has come out with

IMOUMLIVE Chainsaw 15

REVIEW – For the majority of my tree-trimming needs (I have a lot of trees), I rely on my trusty EGO EGO POWER + 18 in. chainsaw. This thing is a beast. However, It’s also overkill for smaller branches too large for a manual lopper. For those in-between jobs, there’s the IMOUMLIVE Brushless 6-Inch Mini

TerraMaster D8 Hybrid review – A flexible hard drive enclosure for almost any use

TerraMaster D8 Hybrid 7

REVIEW – At the beginning of the year, I reviewed the TerraMaster D6-320 6-bay external hard disk enclosure. I may be slow, but it was the first hard drive enclosure I’ve ever used. After setting it up, I quickly regretted not having bought one sooner. The D6-320 allowed me to reduce 5 external drives (and

FlexiSpot E7 Plus 1

REVIEW – In June of 2023, I reviewed the FlexiSpot E7Q Odin 4-Leg standing desk. Its stability is phenomenal. I like it so much that it replaced my trusted (and really good) UPLIFT standing desk. The E7Q remains my daily driver, so to speak. Its four motors (one per leg) will quickly and quietly raise

JLab Epic Lab Edition Earbuds review – a step up for JLab

JLab Epic Lab Edition 3

REVIEW – When normal people (not audiophiles) shop for earphones, sound quality is usually not at the top of the list. It’s always price and convenience first. Some earbuds (earphones, in-ear headphones, whatever) are expensive ($500+) while others are more affordable and thus, more popular. JLabs is an audio company famous for its line of

Gaomon PD1610 24

REVIEW – There’s an interesting fact many people looking to buy a graphics tablet maybe don’t consider—size. Oh, I know size is a factor because the larger the tablet, the more it costs. But there’s something else and it’s this: If a display tablet is 16 in. or less, it will not be the main

REVIEW – Recently, my wife (Cheri) and I went on a 10-day whirlwind tour of the UK. It involved a lot of bus travel, changing hotels, and walking. She dreaded lugging her oversized purse all over England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. That’s when we were offered the Troubadour KI Crossbody Bag to review. While the

Withings ScanWatch Nova 4

REVIEW – What defines a watch? Years ago, that would have been silly to ask. Today, however, it’s a legitimate question. In nine short years, the most popular watch in the world—by far—is the Apple Watch. But is it really a watch? To me, a watch is a mechanical time-keeping device worn either in a

Olight Javelot 7

REVIEW – This is the second Olight flashlight I’ve reviewed. The first was the Olight Seeker 4 Mini, a small but incredibly useful flashlight. The brand-new Olight Javelot light is about twice the size of the Seeker 4 Mini, but not twice as powerful. This made me wonder why anyone might prefer the Javelot, especially

Goal Zero Yeti 300 2

REVIEW – Recently, Goal Zero released three new portable power stations: the Yeti 300, 500, and 700. Each provides—you guessed it—appx. 300, 500, and 700-watt hours of power using the newer LiFePO4 battery technology—more on that later in the review. A few years ago, this announcement would have been big news. Today—not so much because

REVIEW – If you search for “Lodge” on Google, you’re going to get a bunch of links to the famous cast-iron cookware followed by Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and the Great Wolf Lodge. What you won’t see are any links to a solar-powered Bluetooth speaker. That’s a shame because the Lodge Solar Speaker 4 Series-2

REVIEW – Throughout my career as an art director, I’ve used many drawing tablets, displays, and even a few Apple iPads. In the display arena, for what seems like forever, Wacom was “it”—the only game in town. Then, competitors began showing up and recently have been giving Wacom some real competition.

  REVIEW – Earlier this year, my wife and I bought a Tineco iFloor 3 cordless wet-dry vacuum from Costco to replace our Roborock Dyad that bit the dust after one short year. We really like the iFloor 3 and still use it. However, Tineco offered the Floor One S7 Steam Vacuum for review and
