REVIEW – Do you ever try a new product with low expectations, only to be surprised that it has a feature or characteristic that you now can’t live without? This was the case with the Vari Curve Electric Standing Desk: I expected a minor upgrade over my previous $200 standing desk, and ended up realizing […]

REVIEW – As someone who has sold thousands of items on Ebay over the last few decades, I should have invested in a thermal printer long ago. Instead, for thousands of items I’ve either printed out shipping labels on regular paper and cut them out and taped them on, or used 2-labels-per-sheet pages and had

REVIEW – Coffee is life. While I’m not addicted to the point where I can’t function without it, I sure do enjoy a cup or two each day, and some of my top travel memories are discovering new coffee shops around the world. I’m fine with a standard drip-brew cup, but a well-made espresso just
REVIEW – The last time we travelled, I brought no less than 5 different chargers for various phones, tablets, laptops, and other devices. If only I’d had a single charger capable of charging them all, especially if it could charge several at once! Today I’m reviewing the VOLTME 140W USB C Charger which should be

REVIEW – Thanks to the “Zoom era”, most of us are very familiar with webcams and streamed events, whether those are for school, work, entertainment, or even church services or events. Most of us have also noticed the vast differences in quality and capabilities of various webcam models in the last few years. Most webcams

REVIEW – More and more of the electronic products in our house are becoming smartified (I’m pretty sure that’s the technical term). What started as a dabbling with a couple of WiFi-controllable lights years ago has become an epidemic at our house with doorbells, lights, coffee makers, speakers, air fryers, and more available to control

REVIEW – I started an exercise-while-working habit over a decade ago with a cheap plastic table, custom wooden risers, and a cheap exercise bike. Many years and iterations later, and here I am reviewing a treadmill from a brand I’ve never heard of before: TODO. I’ve already burned out two cheaper treadmills now with my

REVIEW – I’ve been printing all sorts of things ever since I reviewed the Anycubic Vyper FDM printer last year and the Elegoo Saturn 2 resin printer this year. I love being able to print out handy items for spots around the house, or figures or terrain for board games. Every year it seems like every 3D printer
REVIEW – The many “solar generators” we review here at the Gadgeteer are only as good as long as their battery charge lasts, unless you pair them with a good solar panel set. Whether you’re setting up a solar generator system for an RV or cabin, or around your own house, or as a backup

REVIEW – I’ve been slowly amassing a mechanical keyboard collection through my own purchases and through review offers sent to us at the Gadgeteer. I’ve tried clicky and silent mechanical switches, metal and plastic builds, tiny ten-keyless versions, wired and Bluetooth, and even swapped out switches and keycaps on multiple boards. The great thing about

REVIEW – Electric vehicles are everywhere nowadays, and it can be tough as a parent to pick out an electric mobility option for a kid or tween with the vast array of choices. Many are dangerously fast for kids, or woefully underpowered, or have a restrictive short range. I’ve seen sketchy scooter and e-bike models

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
