REVIEW – Fads come and go in life, remember JNCO jeans? As a lifelong bicycle rider and former bike mechanic during college, you see fads come and go in the bike industry as well. I saw electric bikes as the new air fryer. Everyone is making one but my microwave, toaster oven, and normal bikes …

REVIEW – I do not sleep well when I’m hot. I use a thin blanket and always have a fan on at night. I even have a special cooling pillow so when I saw a blanket that can keep you cool I jumped at the chance to try it out. Let’s see if the Elegear …

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Like most electronics, flashlights keep getting smaller and more powerful but is it worth buying a new flashlight just for 50 or 100 more lumens than the one you have? Does the Wuben X-0 Knight flashlight bring anything new or different to the everyday carry flashlight to compel you to upgrade from …

REVIEW – My 7 year old son and all his friends have scooters that are way cooler than what I grew up with. Back in my day, a scooter was just a skateboard with a handlebar bolted to it so I jumped at the chance to review the 5th Wheel M2 electric scooter to see …

REVIEW – With spring finally arriving in the Pacific Northwest this year my wife wanted to start a garden in the backyard. The idea of swinging a pickaxe to break up soil all weekend did not sound fun so to save my back I jumped at the chance to review the Eveage corded electric tiller. Let’s …
REVIEW – I have dabbled in 3D printing but I have only used a Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) style printer where a thin filament is heated and extruded onto a platform to build up your desired object. Stereolithography (SLA) is the other side of the 3D printer coin where a UV laser or light is aimed …

REVIEW – I have two cats, a son, and a spouse who sheds more hair than all of us combined so sweeping and vacuuming are daily duties in my house. I enlisted the Shellbot SL60 robot vacuum to help combat the waves of wayward follicles. Let’s see if it can help me hold the line. What …

REVIEW – The Proscenic P11 Smart is a cordless “stick” vacuum cleaner that never seemed like a necessity to me. Prior experience with cordless vacuums showed me the batteries never lasted very long and they were never powerful enough to be useful. I was content to just be stuck with my heavy plug-in floor vacuum …

REVIEW – If you’re like me you probably haven’t thought about your headlamp much since you bought it. I have a few that are pushing 10 years old now but which I have regularly used for working in those dark spots around the house, for biking, running, fishing, working on cars, and just in general …
