REVIEW – There’s a huge range of electric skateboards on the market with more coming every year. There’s short boards, long boards, fast boards, slow boards, and price points from a few hundred dollars (or even lower) to multiple thousands of dollars. Maxfind has 7 different models for different types of riders and styles, and […]

REVIEW – As an elder millennial, I’m well into the phase of life where everything constantly hurts, and I’ve begun pulling back and leg muscles on an annual/semi-annual basis instead of every few years. When the offer to review the Healing Mosey MoseyLumbar™ Multi-function Lumbar Lift and Lower Back Massage Device came in, I had
REVIEW – When you’re looking for a power station, there are quite a few features and specifications to pay attention to. Do you want the power station to last you years and years (probably, with such a large investment), or do you value fast wall recharging of the station over longevity? How many devices do

NEWS – A short while ago I had the pleasure of reviewing the Nerdytec Couchmaster CYCON², and it’s now the only way I’ll play mouse-and-keyboard games on the couch (I previously tried various lap desks with mixed results). It came with a small mousepad which has worked fine, but if you want to enhance the
REVIEW – Most of us use a smartphone these days, but our most desired traits and features can vary wildly from person to person. For years since the inception of smartphones there weren’t many, if any, gaming focused devices until the last few years. This market segment has exploded with new options, and REDMAGIC has

REVIEW – Nearly all of us carry a smartphone these days, but when it comes to mobile gaming touchscreen controls can range from slightly inconvenient to infuriating. There are quite a few high quality games (not to mention cloud streaming services) that are ported from consoles or designed for controllers and then adapted to touch

REVIEW – If you’re anything like me, you’re sick of the process of putting up and taking down seasonal house lighting. Multiple times I’ve climbed the 20-foot ladder to install lights in the snow and ice in December, then procrastinated taking them down until at least July or August, at which point I say “might
Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights review – never climb that ladder again Read More
REVIEW – We’ve all seen kids of all ages (including myself) scooting around on a variety of kick scooters for a number of reasons: they’re fun, it’s easier and faster than walking, and … did I already say they’re fun? While our own child is still too small to scoot, I have a roster of

REVIEW – If you told me in 2004 that in a few short years there would exist PCs (and Macs of course) that would be the size of a small stack of CDs, I would have rolled my eyes at you. My latest gaming PC then was the size of a small refrigerator, and laptops
GEEKOM AS 6 mini PC review – pintsized PC packs a punch Read More
REVIEW – We review quite a few projectors here at The Gadgeteer, and they’ve sure come a long way in the last few years. Portable and small projectors especially have often been either very dim or low resolution (or both), but the XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro 1080P Portable Projector looks to be neither of those
XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro 1080P Portable Projector review – small but mighty Read More
NEWS – When I first saw the specs on the Ausom Leopard electric scooter, I thought they’d forgotten to convert kilometers per hour to miles per hour. A second glance though confirmed what I’d read: top speed of 34 mph, range over 50 miles, and hill climb capability of 25°! Since you’d be zipping around
This incoming Ausom Leopard electric scooter looks like an all-terrain monster! Read More
REVIEW – Portable gaming monitors have been fairly expensive since the first models hit the market since the panels made for gaming are more demanding than your average consumer panels. Many gamers today demand high refresh rates and minimal input lag, especially if they’re using said portable monitor for e-sports or other fast-paced titles. Previously
REVIEW – We’ve reviewed many power stations here at the Gadgeteer, partly because they’re so versatile. You can use them for emergency backup power for computers, tablets, phones, or pretty much any other device. Paired with a good solar panel (or two) you can create an off-grid energy solution for camping, RV’s, and many other
Acenergy S1200 Portable Power Station review – a nice larger power station option Read More
REVIEW – I think we’ve got at least a dozen random power banks at this point scattered around our house, with quality and usefulness varying wildly between them. Most aren’t capable of charging anything larger than a tablet though, and even the ones that can charge laptops do so very slowly until you get to
Baseus Blade laptop power bank review – slim but hopefully not shady Read More
REVIEW – Portable monitors have exploded over the last few years, with a wide variety of brands and sizes, though most tend to be the ~15″ 1080P sort. I’ve seen a couple of gaming-focused portable monitors, but many have been a low 60 Hz refresh rate, which isn’t the best for gaming. Models with high
REVIEW – You may have noticed a large number of power station reviews showing up on the Gadgeteer recently, it’s been a flood of new models and brands almost weekly. This being a typical week, I’ve got a new brand/model that’s shown up for testing, so I’ll dutifully take it through its paces, then add
Blackview OSCAL PowerMax 700 Portable Power Station review – ticks all the boxes for me Read More
REVIEW – Most urban and suburban areas are awash with scooters, both privately owned, and in many cities there are fleets of rental scooters strewn about like a hurricane had just hit. I am just old enough to be from the generation prior to peak scooter popularity (all the kids were scooting around on Razor

REVIEW – I ship quite a few things out, having crossed the 1,000-items-sold-on-eBay milestone recently (I’ve been a gadget-head long before writing for the Gadgeteer, aided by the ability to sell my old stuff in order to fund new toys). A few months ago I was able to review another thermal printer, but it was

REVIEW – Over two years ago I reviewed a portable monitor that attached to your laptop and provided a second screen. While the functionality was impressive, the small size of the monitor and the necessity to attach semi-permanent magnets to the laptop lid was a downer, and I ended up not using it for very

REVIEW – I’ve had a small mini-fridge in my basement office for years, which has been very handy for whatever cool beverage I want while working. Said mini-fridge is pretty cramped and the temperature is unreliable though, and the noise and form factor is not ideal. I hadn’t even considered a higher end beverage cooler,
