REVIEW – Govee already has a ton of smart RGB lighting options on the market, and now they’ve added the Govee Lyra floor lamp. This product casts a very customizable light pattern on a wall to add flair or ambiance to your room. It’s a freestanding lamp with a long LED lightstrip encased in an …

REVIEW – I’ve long wanted to add some kind of wall lighting in my basement office (which due to a single tiny window seems to always feel dark). I’ve considered purchasing much more expensive wall lighting solutions but hadn’t pulled the trigger yet so I was excited when Govee sent over their upcoming Govee Glide …

REVIEW – I was introduced to stand mixers over 17 years ago while creating a wedding registry at Target. The eye-watering price of the brands available back then was a shock, and many of the units on the market still cost a small fortune. However, our wedding-gift stand mixer has lasted all these years, lending …
GEFT Stand Mixer review – low price, hopefully not low lifespan Read More
REVIEW – I’ve never dabbled in 3d printing before, one big reason being that it seemed to be a complex hobby with a steep learning curve. I’ve eyeballed some cheaper 3d printers in the past but never pulled the trigger after reading reviews where they were either limited in functionality, or not as beginner-friendly as …

REVIEW – This review was an interesting challenge. I was expecting the Vastking K100 Windows laptop to fall short of my expectations based on the spec-sheet, but it surprised me in both good and bad ways. If you’re looking for an entry level laptop that is “good enough”, this might tick the boxes for you, …

REVIEW – I’ve been using the Mobile Pixels DUEX Plus dual monitor screen since I reviewed it, but the small size does detract from the convenience of being attached to the laptop. When the offer came up to review the KYY 15.6 inch USB-C monitor, I jumped at the chance. I was hoping that the …

REVIEW – Are you in the market for a phone that lasts two or even three days without recharging? Do you also find yourself in an environment where you’re splashed or immersed in liquids frequently? Do you mind carrying something the size and weight of a baby hippopotamus in your pocket? Should I stop with …
DOOGEE S86 smartphone review – a tank, both in build and size Read More
REVIEW – I’ve owned and reviewed a couple of projectors, but never a “portable projector”. This category of projectors tends to be smaller (for portability of course), and typically includes built-in batteries to allow for viewing away from a power source. As a tradeoff, they have lower brightness levels and lower native resolutions than …

REVIEW – The Fishda Double Head massage gun caught my attention immediately with the dual head design. I’ve been eyeing massage guns like these for a while so I was excited when Fishda sent this unit for review. Unlike the massagers I found in my parent’s room as a child, these massage gun devices are …

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Working from home is the new normal for many lately, but this has been my normal for near a decade now. One piece of advice I received early in my work-from-home stint was to get away from the desk whenever possible. I definitely feel it when I’m at a desk for more …
REVIEW – It seems like every few months we’re reminded of the fragility of our modern infrastructure with events like earthquakes, winter storms in Texas, pandemics, and other disasters. The Bluetti AC200P 2000Wh/2000W Portable Power Station is an option for emergency battery backup, and on paper it would also be great for RV/cabin use or …

REVIEW – The Epomaker AKKO 3068 Silent Bluetooth 5.0 keyboard is a fusion of the wireless Bluetooth combined with a nostalgic design. On paper, this ticks all the boxes for what I want in a mechanical keyboard these days – design (highly subjective to your tastes though, if you love RGB gaming flashiness you’ll want …

REVIEW – Sometimes you need highly specialized tools for special situations, but there’s always a struggle to decide when to use a multi-use tool instead of a one-use tool. The Cyansky Multi-color Long Range Hunting Flashlight bills itself as a do-it-all long range hunting flashlight with multiple modes and light spectrums for different hunting situations. …

REVIEW – There are more wireless earbuds than you can shake a stick at these days, so I wasn’t expecting much from the Creative Outlier Air V2 In-ear headphones when they sent me a pair to review. Who would have thought that they’d be the best-sounding wireless earbuds I’ve tried yet? In this review I’ll …

REVIEW – Interest in the contents of the air we breathe has taken a dramatic uptick recently for some reason (cough…COVID…cough), but we residents of Salt Lake City and nearby suburbs are very familiar with dangerous air. We often set the record for the most harmful particulate pollution in the United States in the winter, …
