REVIEW – Cooking rice is an art. People eat a lot of rice. People in my house eat a lot of rice, I stink at art so it’s best to let a professional handle the job. The Toshiba TRSH01 Electric Rice Cooker is just the expert I need to rescue my family from my kitchen […]
REVIEW –Yep, I admit it. I listen to Christmas music year-round, and love to start decorating the day after Halloween. My Christmas lights are up and some of my neighbors are scolding me for being so early. Scrooges! :-). Notvech Christmas Icicle Lights are a perfect way to start the season! What is it? Novtech

REVIEW – The National Fire Protection Association reports that fire-related fatalities decrease by 55% when a working smoke detector is present, so it’s never a bad idea to add another one to your home. I have plenty of security cameras, but it would be ideal to know the difference between optional viewing, and “Dude! You

REVIEW – I love home automation, especially when a gadget makes something more accessible or useful. SwitchBot’s new blind openers are just such a beast. Since some of the window coverings in my sunroom are cumbersome to access, I jumped at the opportunity to have a look at these useful little robots. How well do
REVIEW – I can think of plenty of situations apart from RV camping when portable refrigeration would be advantageous – power outages, a little extra ice or food storage for a family reunion, and emergency medication storage come to mind. If you need cold, Bodega’s R50 RV refrigerator is fabulous! What is it? The Bodega

REVIEW – A few weeks ago, my daughter came home from work and reported a car parked adjacent to hers had been damaged and burglarized for the coins in the cup holder. She’s savvy enough to not leave anything valuable in her car, even if it’s only a few dollars in coins, but it got

REVIEW – I previously reviewed Ganiza’s V20 vacuum here and was happy with its performance.

REVIEW – The first patent for a battery-powered flashlight was in 1899. The device was called a “flash light” because it could only produce short bursts and required time for the batteries to “rest” between uses. It produced about two candlepower or 25 lumens. Now, you can have more than 3000 lumens to chase the

REVIEW – I love movies, but watching them on the “small screen” doesn’t measure up to the experience of seeing them on “the big screen.” Post-Covid, more and more movies, and series are either sent directly to video or are available shortly after theater release. So, how can you bring that “big screen experience” home?

REVIEW – Courteous of the “curse of Coronavirus,” copious commerce commenced causing chaos capable of causing cursing and crying, consequent of criminal conduct. Persevering to prevent porch pirates who persist in plundering and pillaging my packages has become a personal pastime. All alliteration aside, Euki’s ZY-E3 solar-powered Wi-Fi camera can discourage such dastardly deeds. What
REVIEW – What was that?!… Did something fall in the backyard? Is that deer feasting on the garden like its own personal salad bar? Was that an acorn falling on the shed roof, or was it that pesky raccoon trying to get into the garbage can again? Need a definitive answer to these questions? Keep

REVIEW – We all have preferences when it comes to carrying our gadgets around. I migrated from briefcase to backpack some years ago as they became more “business acceptable,” but there are times when the briefcase format is a more suitable choice. Why not both? Anuent’s Leather briefcase suits both configurations well, and, made of

REVIEW – The portable vacuum cleaner was invented and patented by James Spangler in 1908. In the 114 years since the concept remains the same, but the technology has continued to improve. Now “Stick” vacuums are ubiquitous. Every house should have one… or two… or a bunch. Let’s have a look at Ganiza’s model V20

REVIEW – Like many, I love good audio and depend on my Bluetooth Earbuds. I use them frequently while working around the house and yard, but my ears are small so finding something comfortable is challenging. JBL’s Live Free 2 headphones are attractive, sound great, and the active noise canceling is wonderful! What is
REVIEW – Bill Gates once said, “The great thing about a computer notebook is that no matter how much you stuff into it, it doesn’t get bigger or heavier. “ Computers and smartphones have continued to shrink in size, but not so much for printers. In many cases, email and text are great for transferring

REVIEW – Recently my wife and I have been taking a sign language class and I noticed some lag during Zoom meetings. My house is filled with WiFi goodness and I have a 200Gb connection so I thought my router might be causing the bottleneck. Will the Gryphon AX Tri-Band Mesh router alleviate the issue?
REVIEW – I’ve been getting into making stuff lately and have had some serious fun with the Artillery Sidewinder 3D printer. I’ve been wanting to add to my options and am joyously happy I gave Creality’s CR-Laser Falcon engraver a try. This thing is glorious fun, but it’s no toy. Read on, Gadgeteer friends! What
REVIEW – Pressure washers are both a blessing and a curse. They perform very well cleaning up a muddy or bug-goo-covered vehicle, keeping a garage floor squeaky clean, or flushing a hard winter’s grime away from vinyl siding, but… setting them up can be time-consuming and cumbersome. Thankfully, Giraffe Tools has addressed nearly all of
