By / / Reviews / / 5 Comments
OUKITEL BP2000 04

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed so many power stations so far that differentiating them can sometimes become difficult: there’s only so many variations in the 1000-2000 Wh power station category. However, the OUKITEL BP2000 Home Battery Backup caught my eye because it’s advertised as specifically a home backup battery solution, and not just another standard portable […]

RallyE 1200 Pro 14

REVIEW – Only a few months ago I reviewed one of the most interesting power stations I’d seen yet: the Runhood RALLYE 600 Pro Power Station. The premise of a power station with hot-swappable batteries seems perfect for many power station scenarios like camping or RV trips, and the versatility added with solar charging and

REVIEW – A few months ago I had the pleasure of reviewing a 1:16 RC truck from DEERC that has continued to be a blast to tear around the yard and street with. This time around, I’ve got a slightly larger and slightly different style 1:14 “Fast Shark RC Car” in for testing, so I’ll

REVIEW – I’m a lifelong fan of building bricks, whether they’re from the big-name company or the rapidly growing selection of other brick companies out there. I’ve definitely noticed a quality difference between some companies, ranging from “almost-identical to the well-known brand” to “I’m throwing out this whole set before I’m even halfway done because

REVIEW – Mini PCs are an interesting product to me, someone who has pretty much exclusively used gaming laptops or self-built gaming PCs for nearly 2 decades now. One of the other mini-PCs I recently reviewed (the excellent Geekom AS6) is now serving as our Plex media server, and doing a great job at it.

elegoo neptune 4 max 03

REVIEW – I am loving this recent wave of higher speed 3D FDM printers, especially since I’ve been trying out some larger format items lately (like cosplay helmets) that can easily take 3 days or more on the previous printers I’ve reviewed. I’d also heard of Klipper while researching 3D FDM printers but hadn’t had

REVIEW – Govee has released a dizzying array of smart lighting products over the last few years, and I’m always a sucker for trying out new models in my house (often to the annoyance of my partner, she’s much less enthusiastic about adding RGB lights everywhere). Govee sent over their Govee Cube Wall Sconces, so

REVIEW – We’ve been using the same older Bluetooth outdoor speaker for at least 3 years now, a smaller no-frills cheap model that lacks bass but at least lasts 8+ hours per charge.

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – If you’re in the market for a home projector, there are probably two key specifications you’re looking for: resolution and brightness. Many entry level projectors are 720P (or even worse), but you’re going to want at least Full HD (1080P) for any decent sized screen. If you’re going really big, then you
