REVIEW – It feels like just yesterday that I was reviewing the VigorPool Captain 1200, one of my favorite power stations this year. Plentiful outputs, a nice design, and good carry ergonomics has made it a workhorse around the house. So, when VigorPool offered to send the new VigorPool Captain 2400 Portable Power Station I […]
VigorPool Captain 2400 Portable Power Station review – oh captain my captain Read More
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.

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
Govee Cube Wall Sconces review – nice customizable RGB wall sconces Read More
REVIEW – We’ve been using a wet/dry vacuum weekly (or at least we try to) for a couple of years, and though it’s still going strong I’m always interested in trying out new and different brands and models. I also use an Ultenic T10 robot vacuum that I reviewed 2 years ago, and it’s held
Ultenic Cordless Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner review – a nice lightweight mopping vacuum cleaner Read More
REVIEW – I have been using folding large screen smartphones for a couple of years now. I started with the Samsung Galaxy Fold 3, but in folded mode, it was too cramped so I always had to open it to do anything. The Fold 4 was slightly better, but still was not a great experience
Infinix ZERO 30 5G smartphone review – near flagship feel for cheap Read More
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. During a recent gathering in our back yard I realized how woefully underpowered it was when I could barely hear it from
Tronsmart Bang Max 130W party speaker review – many watts of sound for parties Read More
REVIEW – If you’re looking to get into the hobby of drone flying there is no shortage of budget friendly beginner drones, but based on the ones I’ve tested or bought myself around the $350 mark, your mileage will certainly vary (and sometimes will crash but hopefully not burn). The Bwine F7GB2 4K drone has
Bwine F7GB2 4K drone review – not bad if you can get it on sale Read More
REVIEW – I’ve had a string of reviews come to me lately with serendipitous timing, but the EKSTER GRID Backpack and power station takes the crown of the “perfect review at the perfect time”. I haven’t travelled since the great pandemic of 2020, so to have my first business trip right after the EKSTER bag
EKSTER GRID Backpack and power station review – perfect laptop travel bag for me Read More
REVIEW – Sometimes a review offer will come in for us Gadgeteers that couldn’t have been timed better. In this case, our 14 month old toddler is starting to walk/run everywhere, and he got a balance bike for his first birthday but hasn’t been able to get the hang of that model yet. The Cooghi

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed or purchased several electric bikes over the past few years, and I’m starting to fully comprehend how diverse the market is these days. There are bikes catered to commuters (some needing to carry or pack the bikes into transport or storage areas), delivery drivers, recreational enthusiasts, adventure seekers, and the truly
Aniioki Aq177 Pro Max electric bike review – a sweet ride Read More
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
KJM K3 projector review – fantastically bright Read More
REVIEW – Most people I informally surveyed while reviewing the Joy Pebble countertop ice maker prefer nugget/pebble ice to other larger forms of ice. I’ve personally always enjoyed pebble ice but hadn’t previously sought it out, but now that the pebble ice maker has been sitting on our countertop for a few weeks, I’m feeling
Joy Pebble countertop ice maker review – piles of pleasant pebble ice posthaste Read More
REVIEW – Having purchased or reviewed quite a few electric scooters now, I’m getting a pretty good idea of what I want in a good scooter. I definitely want enough power and speed to not feel slow and take forever to get to my destination. My most frequent routes cover hills and are usually 10-20
AUSOM Leopard electric scooter review – even better than a mental health walk Read More
REVIEW – When I was a kid, one of my most memorable possessions was a remote control car. Because this was the technology of the 80’s, it only drove (slowly) for about 10 minutes before requiring a 3-4 hour charging session, but nevertheless I still loved it. Fast forward more years than I’d like to
DEERC Brushless RC Car review – smaller than expected but lots of fun Read More
REVIEW – If you’ve taken vacations, camping trips, or had lake/beach adventures with a cooler full of ice, then you know the hassle that GoSun is trying to solve with the GoSun Chill + SolarTable 120. Traditional ice-filled coolers inevitably have a lifespan measured in hours (or days for very nice ones that you’re not
GoSun Chill + SolarTable 120 review – continuous cooling contingent solely on the sun Read More
REVIEW – Every once in a while here at the Gadgeteer, we get a product sent to us to review that isn’t just great, but so great it becomes a part of our everyday life. Velotric’s new Packer 1 cargo ebike came to me just as we were outgrowing our previous ebikes with our new
Velotric Packer 1 cargo ebike review – haul all the things in style Read More
REVIEW – While we’ve reviewed quite a few electric bikes here at The Gadgeteer, not many of them so far can go much farther than ~40 miles on a charge. If you end up riding more than that between charges, you’re likely to end up with a dead battery, and a 60-80 pound bike can
Mihogo LX 4.0 electric bike review – stylish and speedy Read More
REVIEW – If you’ve been following our site at all, you’ll know we get quite a few power stations in for review. This being (checks calendar…) a normal month, we have yet another station in. Power stations are great for creating a solar generator setup, for camping and other outdoor use, or for home backup
VTOMAN FlashSpeed 1500 Portable Power Station review – many watts, much wow Read More
REVIEW – There’s no shortage of gaming controller options on the market, with some designed specifically for certain consoles while others try to target both Windows and Xbox or Playstation consoles. Rarely do I see one trying to do as much as the PowerA MOGA XP-ULTRA Multi-Platform Wireless Controller though, with support for wireless and
