REVIEW – I’ve used quite a few portable monitors to date, ranging from pressed-into-service iPads used as secondary screens to portable gaming monitors to double monitor setups clamped onto laptops. From all of those, I’ve found a single large monitor to be the most practical option for me. The one type of portable monitor I […]
REVIEW – BLUETTI has made a name for themselves the last few years by pumping out relatively high quality power stations. We’ve reviewed several of those in the past here at the Gadgeteer, but today I’ve got their latest foray into a new product category: a portable refrigerator/freezer. BLUETTI calls it the Multicooler, and when
REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a smattering of different portable coolers with a variety of sizes and capacities, but this marks the first “drawer style” car cooler I’ve gotten my hands on so far. Why would you want a drawer style cooler, you might ask? Drawer style coolers are popular for RV and custom camping vans,

NEWS – As someone who owned a Windows Mobile phone before the first iPhone ever hit the market, you could say I’ve tended to surf the bleeding edge of mobile phone technology (for better or for worse). The last few years I’ve owned no less than four different folding phone models, but even though I
REVIEW – I’m always on the prowl for new keyboards to try out, especially mechanical keyboards with features or switches that I haven’t experienced yet. In the case of the Feker K75 mechanical keyboard, we have both new switches (Kailh Vanilla Ice Cream in the unit sent to me, Corgi Linear also available) and a

REVIEW – I’ve noticed a couple of trends in the power station product category over the last few years that I’m excited about: LiFePO4 battery chemistry (for longer lifespans), faster charging (both through solar and AC inputs), and UPS functionality (the ability to use the power station as a backup emergency power source with items

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed e-bikes of so many shapes and sizes now that I didn’t think another one would surprise me with new features. I was therefore mildly shook when I saw the description of the Freebeat MorphRover Ebike with an included at-home workout station, but I was worried that a package like this would

REVIEW – When we purchased our car a few years ago, I was immediately annoyed with the requirement to plug my phone in every time I wanted to use Android Auto. I’ve tried another “convert wired Apple Carplay/Android Auto to wireless” dongles in the past, but was plagued with disconnects and dropped connections so I
REVIEW – I was always envious of other kids with battery powered cars when I was a kid, but as I grew up I found out that those 80’s era children’s cars tended to have battery lives in the 10’s of minutes and you were lucky if they could go faster than 2 miles an
REVIEW – If you’re looking for power stations in the 1000-2000 Wh range, there’s a huge range of options so you’ll probably be looking most closely at factors like longevity, port selection, and cost. One of the features I have rarely seen so far is the inclusion of a high-amperage RV style port, but today
REVIEW – I recently reviewed the ALLPOWERS S2000 Pro Portable Power Station, which is a good all-around power station without any glaring faults. ALLPOWERS also sent the S2000 non-Pro for review, so I also tested it out, and the big question is whether or not it’s worth saving $100 over the Pro version or not,

REVIEW – I’ve used some of my luggage pieces for nearly 20 years now, and they’re definitely looking the part. I’ve replaced a few pieces over the years (and the ones I haven’t replaced look like they’re about to explode spontaneously). Hardside luggage with 360° spinners style is the only type I’ll get from now

REVIEW – I’ve used thermal printers for years now for shipping all sorts of things, as well as printing random other stuff (for example I have a series of commonly used recipes stuck inside our cabinets that I have printed over the years: as useful as smart home displays and smartphones are, sometimes it’s just

REVIEW – I am a recent convert to the world of cargo bikes (especially electric cargo bikes). I’ve tried out some models in the past but the huge bucket bikes all handled like whales, while other models were hit and miss for sizing, comfort, and cargo flexibility. Earlier this year, though, I was able to

REVIEW – A galaxy or star projector has been on our wishlist for a while, as we have a toddler rapidly approaching the age where he’ll probably want a nightlight and/or be interested in the stars and planets. Govee offered their new Govee Galaxy Light Projector Pro for review, and it looked perfect for our
REVIEW – We’ve reviewed a LOT of projectors here at The Gadgeteer, but I personally haven’t had the chance to try out a native 4K one yet (though I’ve tested some great 1080P models). The Paris Rhône 4K SP005 LCD Projector looked pretty similar to other one I just reviewed (the KJM K3 1080P projector)
REVIEW – If you haven’t tried out sous vide cooking yet, I highly recommend exploring it! We have had a cheap sous vide cooker for years that we used attached to a large square food storage container and have cooked everything from roasts to seafood, and of course steaks. The resulting meal is almost always

REVIEW – Like many people, my eyes ache after hours in front of screens. Some of it is due to not enough breaks while focusing at text, but I’ve also discovered in the last few years that certain screens are much worse than others for me (probably due to my aging millennial eyes). I also

REVIEW – If you’re one of the many people who grew up camping or going on day trips with coolers full of ice for drinks and/or food, you know the problems you run into: ice melting, food getting soggy, and everything is dripping wet all the time. I’ve reviewed a couple of portable refrigerator/freezer units
