PurO²xygen P500i HEPA Air Purifier 06

REVIEW — In March 2023, northwesterly winds pushed Canadian wildfire smoke into my corner of the world. It was an eye-watering, cough-inducing house party reminiscent of the COVID quarantine days. It was no fun and downright dangerous for people with breathing and allergy issues. How can we stifle the smoke? Give the PurO²xygen P500i HEPA

Quntis Bathroom Light Fixture 10

REVIEW – I remodeled my bathroom a few years ago and replaced the light over the vanity. Even with an exhaust fan, rust formed on its metal body much more quickly than anticipated. It wasn’t lovely and needed a contemporary replacement. Quntis offered one of their dimmable, color-temperature adjustable, four-globe lamps for review, and I

REVIEW – My pockets seldom lack my phone, wallet, flashlight, and multitool. Sometimes, bringing “the big gun” isn’t practical or necessary. For times like this, The Leatherman Skeletool CX multitool is ideal. What is it?

Hava T01 Washing Machine 13

REVIEW – I didn’t live in a dorm in college, nor did I live in apartments that had laundry facilities. Keeping clothes clean was daunting, inconvenient, and sometimes destructive. On one occasion, a timed lock on a laundromat door stranded me without my clothes, belongings, and car keys, resulting in a close encounter with the

Ultenic AC1 Elite wet dry vacuum 34

REVIEW – I mostly walk around the house barefoot, so keeping the floors squeaky clean is essential. Vacuuming and mopping using the Ultenic MC1 vacuum happens thrice weekly. Visually, they look great, and I seldom feel any dirt underfoot, but I was surprised with the crud Ultenic’s AC1 Elite cordless wet/dry vacuum cleaner picked up. What

REVIEW – My 58-year-old house still had the original, outdated, inefficient ceiling fans.

Leatherman Surge 30

REVIEW – I’ve tried hundreds of multitools, but none suit my needs better than Leatherman. I’ve had one as my constant companion since 1984 when the original PST (Personal Survival Tool) replaced a gaggle of gear required for college classes. Initially introduced in 2005, the Leatherman Surge has received a few makeovers and is still

REVIEW –   Ultenic is a relatively new company, launching its first cordless (Models U10 and U11) and robotic vacuums (Model D5 and T10) in 2021.

REVIEW – Printing on small stuff can be challenging and aggravating, if not impossible. I’ve misloaded envelopes countless times (add growling and snarling sounds here), and printing even smaller labels was out of the question. Now, it’s easy with Bentsai’s BT-HH6105B2 handheld printer.

REVIEW – In 2021, FEMA reported 353,500 house fires, 2840 deaths, 11,400 injuries, and $8.8 billion in loss. In the same year, there were 1,067 carbon monoxide fatalities.

REVIEW – Some years ago, I had a snowblower with a gas engine of a similar size and shape to the Worx in this review. It was frequently frustrating and a pain in the patoot to start. The fuel smelled awful, stalled at the most inopportune times, and I damaged my rotator cuff trying to

REVIEW – I previously reviewed Longer’s 30W B1 with air assist (read it here) and have loved it since. The combination of raw power, ultra-fast cutting, and air assist made it the go-to machine for engraving and cutting. They’ve released an even more powerful version, topping at 48 watts for the fastest results. Please join

REVIEW – I’ve used an air fryer for several years and appreciate its utility, speed, and convenience. I use it far more than my oven, it doesn’t turn my kitchen into a sauna in the summer months, and reducing the amount of oil I consume is a healthy bonus. HYSapientia’s Air Fryer Oven has impressive

  REVIEW – If you ask a dozen witnesses for a report of an event, you’ll get 12 different versions.

REVIEW – Several years ago my vehicle suffered a mechanical failure stranding my family at a campground at the north end of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel. It was an easy fix, but the nearest auto parts store was miles away with no bicycle, taxi, or ridesharing available. A park ranger took me to
