REVIEW – I’ve used quite a few tents in my days, from tiny to huge and cheap to mid-range/name brand. In fact, some of my earliest memories of camping are of my father connecting separated pole segments for a big canvas tent that was leaky and heavy and took nearly an hour to set up […]

REVIEW – I have been carrying a cheaper Kershaw pocket knife for the past few years, and I’ve been continually surprised by how often I use it to open packages or do one of a million other odd chores around the house. I would never have considered spending upwards of $200 on a pocket knife

REVIEW – Have you ever been wearing your boring old sunglasses and thought “I wish these would auto dim in this bright light, or be less shaded in this shady area”? And also thought “ooh and they should let me take phone calls and play my music and podcasts too”? If so, you’ve come to
REVIEW – In a world where electric scooters are on nearly every street corner, it takes something special to stand out. Ninebot is a scooter brand that’s been around for some time now, and they make many of the kick-scooter style electric scooters you see for rent in urban areas. Segway has been around longer,
Segway Ninebot S MAX review – hoverboards made easy Read More
REVIEW – I’ve been using tablets for a decade now, starting with the Motorola Xoom in 2011 (oof!), and continuing with a bevy of iPad and Android tablets through the years. It’s crazy to me that 10 years later, the dynamic still hasn’t changed much: for the best experience you should go with an iPad,

REVIEW – As I prepare to enter my middle-age years, I have done a lot of reflecting lately. One of the trends I have noticed the older I get is to gravitate towards paying more for quality rather than always buying the cheapest functional version of something I need. Case-in-point: I probably used and wore

REVIEW – There are so many headset models on the market today that it can be daunting to research and find the perfect one. You could spend hours reading reviews and comparing spec sheets and only be able to cover a fraction of the models available. For me, it takes either an exceptional performance-to-price package
REVIEW – My large full size keyboard at my workstation has been a bit of overkill: I rarely use the number pad and could definitely use that space to the right for more mouse space. I was excited to review the Epomaker SK21 numpad and move to a smaller everyday keyboard. Overall I’m pretty pleased
Epomaker SK21 numpad review – customizable and versatile numpad Read More
REVIEW – I play games on my phone nearly every day, and while I sometimes suffer from hand cramping after long gaming sessions, I’ve never thought “I wish I could cool my phone more to get higher framerates in this game”, but here I am testing a device designed to do exactly that. Gamesir sent
REVIEW – If you’re like me and have been using a full size keyboard including a 10-key number pad for most of your life, the world of tiny keyboards can be a bit of a shock. Just last year I started experimenting with different keyboard layouts (I don’t need numpad as often as I used

REVIEW – If I had a dollar for every time I went camping or took a trip and had a bad experience with a cooler and ice, I would have at least three dollars. Traditional coolers can have a variety of issues like leaks, soggy food from melting ice, broken backs from the weight of
BougeRV 30 Quart (28L) Portable Refrigerator/Freezer review – make all the things cold Read More
REVIEW – Most of us have spent our entire lives using gasoline or corded electric lawn tools. I had infamously bad gas lawnmowers when I was a kid, where you had to yank the starter cord 10 or more times with all your kid-strength to get it going, then you had the hassle of mixing
REVIEW – We’ve been getting quite a few power stations sent to us for review here at The Gadgeteer lately. The Puleida Portable Power Station caught my eye because it was the antithesis of the last power station I reviewed (the massive Bluetti AC200P power station – which is most definitely not very portable). Puleida’s
Puleida Portable Power Station review – Definitely portable and powers most things Read More
REVIEW – Years ago we had a centrifugal juicer designed only for citrus fruit. While I liked the juice, it took up a large amount of space for something we only used occasionally for only a few types of juice. Enter the NutriBullet Slow Juicer, which can juice pretty much any fruit or vegetable. I’m
NutriBullet Slow Juicer review – juice all the things Read More
REVIEW – The Ultenic T10 Robot Vacuum and Mop with Self Empty (I feel like there was a missed opportunity to shorten this to “U.T.R.V.M.S.E”) ticks off all the boxes I would want for a robot vacuum: LiDar navigation, self-empty, and mopping functions. Ultenic sent it over for review, so I used it regularly for
Ultenic T10 Robot Vacuum and Mop with Self Empty review – Great vacuum but mediocre mop Read More
REVIEW – Govee already has a ton of smart RGB lighting options on the market, and now they’ve added the Govee Lyra floor lamp. This product casts a very customizable light pattern on a wall to add flair or ambiance to your room. It’s a freestanding lamp with a long LED lightstrip encased in an
Govee Lyra floor lamp review – excellent wall accent lighting with neat features Read More
REVIEW – I’ve long wanted to add some kind of wall lighting in my basement office (which due to a single tiny window seems to always feel dark). I’ve considered purchasing much more expensive wall lighting solutions but hadn’t pulled the trigger yet so I was excited when Govee sent over their upcoming Govee Glide

REVIEW – I was introduced to stand mixers over 17 years ago while creating a wedding registry at Target. The eye-watering price of the brands available back then was a shock, and many of the units on the market still cost a small fortune. However, our wedding-gift stand mixer has lasted all these years, lending
GEFT Stand Mixer review – low price, hopefully not low lifespan Read More
REVIEW – I’ve never dabbled in 3d printing before, one big reason being that it seemed to be a complex hobby with a steep learning curve. I’ve eyeballed some cheaper 3d printers in the past but never pulled the trigger after reading reviews where they were either limited in functionality, or not as beginner-friendly as
ANYCUBIC Vyper Auto-Leveling 3D Printer review – beginner friendly but not basic Read More
REVIEW – This review was an interesting challenge. I was expecting the Vastking K100 Windows laptop to fall short of my expectations based on the spec-sheet, but it surprised me in both good and bad ways. If you’re looking for an entry level laptop that is “good enough”, this might tick the boxes for you,
