STRAUTO Universal Inflator 17 e1748144445847

REVIEW – Having what seems like a fleet of bicycles and a myriad of fun things that all require inflation like float tubes, paddle boards, and kayaks means a lot of work to keep things topped off. I have several air pumps and while it’s not bad exercise, it’s not my favorite thing to do. […]

Algolaser Pixi Laser Engraver 36

REVIEW – There are a wide variety of laser engravers and tools out on the market today. Many of them are built on very similar frameworks and are difficult to distinguish one from another.

Laura Ashley Hand Mixer 11

REVIEW – I love kitchen gadgets, especially ones that are well designed and aesthetically pleasing. The Laura Ashley hand mixer up for review today looked like it might meet those criteria and while our old hand mixer mostly works, it’s well over twenty years old at this point and could easily stand to be retired.

Flexispot Folding Chair 15

REVIEW – I spend quite a few hours most days in an office chair, which can really get old with even a decent chair to sit in. I’ve started looking at different options because while a standing desk is nice occasionally, I find it’s nice for a break but I still need to go back
