The Leatherman Skeletool CX is a lightweight, stainless steel, folding multitool with needlenose pliers, wire cutters, a knife blade, a […]

HAVA T01 portable washing machine review –  Big cleaning in a small space!

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 cordless wet/dry vacuum cleaner review – Turns “Eeew” into “Oooo!”

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

Leatherman Surge Multitool review – “Jack of all trades” tool excellence!

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

Ultenic MC1 robotic vacuum mop 08

REVIEW –   Ultenic is a relatively new company, launching its first cordless (Models U10 and U11) and robotic vacuums (Model D5 and T10) in 2021. Their new flagship, MC1, has earned a place in my “orderly enthusiast” home, especially for mopping hardwood floors. Please join me for a closer look. What is it? The Ultenic

Bentsai BT HH6105B2 Handheld Ink Jet Printer 69

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.

LG Washer Dryer and Sidekick Washer 11

REVIEW –   Doing laundry isn’t one of my favorite jobs, but it’s as sure as death and taxes. Clothes get dirty, and keeping them clean can be a pain.

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.

NomVdic P1000 projector 45

REVIEW – I’ve always been a major movie buff. At one point, I went to the cinema four or five times a week until COVID-19. During this time, cocooning became a thing we all had to do, and golly gee, I missed it. If you have a flair for film or want larger-than-life sports at

Worx Nitro 40V Snowblower 30

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.

HYSapientia Air Fryer Convection Oven review – I use it as much as the microwave and more than the oven!

HYSapientia HYS AFO 01A Air Fryer 07

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.

Dynamic Scooter Model B 39

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
