REVIEW – I’ve been riding electric motorcycles and more recently ebikes for almost a decade now. I love electric bikes, especially as a way to get around town quickly and efficiently while still offering the opportunity to get a good workout when I want. We’ve been looking for a while to get a good second […]
REVIEW – I’ve reviewed or purchased a half dozen electric scooters over the last few years, and I’ve definitely refined what I’m looking for in a good commuter scooter. First, it needs to be portable/foldable for public transport or stowed in a trunk for last-mile quick trips after a journey. Second, it needs to not

REVIEW – Have you ever needed (or wanted) to own your own infrared thermal camera? Until recently it was hard to find any options under $500, and even then many of them would have a vertical resolution of 100 pixels or less and less than stellar screens! The TOPDON TC001 Thermal Camera is an intriguing

REVIEW – I have boxes of my family’s documents that have been gathering dust due to scanner issues. I’ve tried both flatbed and sheet-fed scanners, but none have been able to handle the wide variety and sizes of pages and books that make up the cluttered collection. I guess the flatbed scanner has worked for
REVIEW – I’ve dabbled with several espresso/coffee machines and a couple of options for milk frothing, including steam wants on some of our machines or standalone devices. We’ve most recently been using an aging milk frother/heater in our house the last few years, but it often burns the milk a bit and has been inconsistent

REVIEW – Have you ever had an urge to bathe a night scene in more light than the noonday sun? Do you regularly need a spotlight that can illuminate things over a kilometer away? Do you like solid-metal rugged flashlights that can also act as power banks for your phone and other devices? If you
REVIEW – Keyboards are essential, but often quite boring. Mechanical keyboards are a nice step up from the standard membrane keyboards included with most systems. Mechanical keyboards have a dizzying variety of options like the actual switches themselves (which affect typing resistance, feel, noise, activation point, and more), keycaps, lighting, etc. The XVX M87 Coral

REVIEW – Another week, another power station to review. Will the GRECELL T-500 power station review stand out from the ever-growing horde of power stations that have been sent our way, or will it simply be yet another option among many? What is it? The GRECELL T-500 power station review is a portable battery. These

REVIEW – I game on phones quite often. Much of that time has been spent using something like a Razer Kishi controller, or more recently the GameSir X2 Bluetooth that I bought personally after Julie reviewed it last year. Most of the time I play streaming games like through Xbox Gamepass, Nvidia Geforce Now, or
REVIEW – By now I think most of us have seen dashboard camera footage of some kind, whether it’s a humorous mistake or a harrowing near miss on the roads. In the era before dashcams, I had a collision where I was rear ended while going down a hill, and despite a healthy following distance

REVIEW – I’ve been a flagship-phone user for over a decade now, always trying the latest and greatest when I have the opportunity. Over 10 years ago I was using early Windows Mobile devices so I could do internet things (extremely slowly) while most people were still using “dumb phones”. I’ve had Android phones, Blackberries,

REVIEW – I’ve always enjoyed sketching and doodling, but I’ve never seriously dabbled in digital art so far. When UGEE offered us the chance to try out their UGEE 11.9 Inch Drawing Tablet, I thought it would be fun to try getting better at creating things. I tried out the tablet with a variety of

REVIEW – There have only been a handful of times in my life when I wished I had a laser cutter/engraver. It’s the sort of tool that hasn’t ever been at the top of my mind, but now that I’ve received the ORTUR Laser Master 2 S2 24V laser engraving machine to review, it’s opened

REVIEW – There are two popular types of 3D printers on the market today: resin (SLA -Stereolithography) and FDM (fused deposition modeling). We’ve reviewed many of both types here at The Gadgeteer including the previous Saturn model, but this new Elegoo Saturn 2 8k 3D printer will be both my first resin printer to test,

REVIEW – I almost didn’t volunteer to review the Outdoor Master Electric Skateboard Cruiser. I’m pushing middle age, tend to be a bit clumsy, and bruised my tailbone the last time I rode a longboard (over 20 years ago). I’ve been curious about these electric skateboards I see around town, but I was worried about

REVIEW – A hair dryer has been a boring but essential part of my daily routine ever since I made the mistake of going to a barber a few years ago. I’d been using a $30 hair dryer I grabbed at Walmart for years which did the basic job of drying hair, but it was

REVIEW – A monitor calibration tool is something I’ve wanted for years, but I’ve never dropped the money on one yet. I’ve had great monitors and terrible monitors, and a spectrum of photo printers across the years as well. It’s always been a crapshoot in terms of what gets printed out versus what I edited
REVIEW – Have you ever wanted to experience phenomenal sound quality in comfortable headphones, while also looking like you’re attending a rave or gamer expo? If so, this latest product sent to me for review from Haymaker might be right up your alley. The Haymaker gaming headphones are peak “gamer product”, with carbon fiber pattern

REVIEW – With a pending baby birth right around the corner, shopping for baby products has become a nightmare of a chore for me and my partner. The vast range of choices on every conceivable necessity and convenience makes decision paralysis a real thing. And if you also care about the look and style of

REVIEW – If you have ever tried to make custom shirts without a heat press, you’ll know how hard it is to get vinyl or inkjet-iron-on designs to successfully adhere. Success requires even pressure and the correct heat, which is where a device like the VEVOR Heat Press machine comes in. What is it? The
