SPARKX i7 Color Combo AI Review – When 3D Printing Stops Feeling Intimidating

By / / Featured, Must Read, Reviews / / Leave a Comment
SPARKX i7 Color Combo AI 3D Printer 57

REVIEW – 3D printing has spent years promising the dream of desktop fabrication and then burying it under calibration headaches, failed first layers, and forums full of troubleshooting advice written for people who already know what they are doing. The Creality SparkX i7 takes a different bet: that the barrier to entry matters more than […]

Kismile Air Fryer Review – I can actually see how well it is cooking!

By / / Reviews / / 1 Comment
Kismile 25

REVIEW – I have a large air fryer/toaster oven that sits on the countertop that I have used for several years now.  I use it mainly as a secondary oven and to air fry things like fries and chicken.  I hate using it as an air fryer because it is such a pain to clean.

Review: The grab-and-go leaf blower that earned its spot in my rotation

OGERY Brushless Leaf Blower Cordless with Lights the gadgeteer 01

REVIEW – I’ve got 32 trees in my yard. That’s not a flex, that’s a confession. Over the past couple of months, leaves have piled up in every corner, along the fence line, wedged against the foundation, scattered across the patio like someone threw confetti at a party nobody asked for. My big-boy blower and

Jlab Epic Party speaker review – Near or far?

JLab Epic Party 1

REVIEW – After reviewing both the JLab Epic Lab Edition Earbuds and the JLab Epic Air Sport ANC earbuds, I concluded that, while JLab makes fun, affordable products, they face serious competition. When given a choice, I would rarely choose the JLab earphones. This is my first JLab speaker review. The Jlab Epic Party speaker

BondClip travel mouse review: the clip‑on mouse that stops living at the bottom of your bag

Bondarch9

REVIEW – I’m always hunting for the perfect travel mouse. My laptop bag is cramped, my water bottle has a habit of leaking, and my mouse usually ends up buried at the bottom under cables and chargers. The BondClip takes a different approach: it’s a wireless travel mouse that clips to the side of your

These Yoolax motorized dual shades give you blackout at night, soft light by day, and no cords to pull – review

Yoolax Motorized Dual Roller Shade 26

REVIEW – Opening and closing the same three blinds every morning and night gets old fast, especially when they’re on different windows and wrapped in cords. I wanted something that could give us soft light during the day, blackout at night, and do it automatically without anyone yanking on chains. That’s what led me to

Ounin 24L Combo 11-in-1 Steam and Air Fryer review – Versatile and compact cooking

Ounin KXW240 160A 11 in one air fryer 18

REVIEW – Since my kids moved out, the oven doesn’t see much action. It’s like using a bucket loader to scoop ice cream – overkill for most cooking tasks. Conversely, the stove top, microwave, and air fryer get most of the mealtime action, so it makes sense to get the most “bang for the buck”

Tacray MP1 Review: A Titanium Pen That Hides a Full Toolkit in Plain Sight

Tacray MP1 Review 19

REVIEW – Nobody asks what’s in your pocket when you clip a pen there. It’s invisible. Expected. Boring. Which is exactly why the smartest EDC tools don’t look like tools at all. They look like office supplies. The moment you strap on a holster or hang a pouch from your belt, you’ve announced yourself. But

Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro Review the gadgeteer 24

REVIEW – Pool robots have disappointed me for years with promises they never keep. Most deliver mediocre floor scrubbing with occasional wall climbing that misses half the debris, forcing manual intervention that defeats the purpose of automation. The Beatbot AquaSense 2 Pro breaks this pattern completely, offering genuine 5-in-1 functionality that transforms pool maintenance from

SwichBot Safety Alarm 07

REVIEW – We’ve all misplaced our keys… or our phone… or both, but hopefully not both at the same time ;-). It’s times like those that you’ll wish you had a tracker. SwitchBot’s Safety Alarm does that, plus adds an alarm siren and a flashlight, along with a few other tricks. Pretty cool, right? ⬇︎ Jump

Planck Creator SSD 2TB Review 12

REVIEW – Every content creator eventually hits the same wall: storage. I have an iPhone 16 Pro Max with 1TB of internal storage, and somehow it’s always full. Footage, screenshots, random app data, files I forgot existed. Every time I need to shoot something important, I’m scrambling through my camera roll, deleting clips I probably

REVIEW – My foray into the world of modern handheld heat presses was many years ago now, when I bought the original Cricut EasyPress. I mostly used it for pressing the occasional vinyl project. When I started experimenting with sublimation, I quickly abandoned my EasyPress for a much more robust lever press from Heat Press

Kensington Expert Mouse TB800 EQ Trackball review the gadgeteer 60

REVIEW – If you’ve spent any significant time at a desk, you’ve probably felt it: that dull ache creeping up your forearm after hours of pushing a mouse around. Maybe you’ve tried ergonomic mice. Vertical mice. Mice shaped like spacecraft that cost more than your first car payment. Maybe you’ve resigned yourself to the ache

nomad tracker 08

If you’re anything like me, you lose your wallet constantly. Not dramatically, not in a way that involves police reports or canceled credit cards. More like the mystery of the missing sock after laundry, except instead of accepting you’ll never see that sock again, you spend twenty minutes turning over couch cushions, checking jacket pockets

REVIEW – I’m surprised dash cams are mandated by insurance companies. This review is a result of not having a dash cam installed when we needed it, but also diving a bit deeper into when you need it to be recording which is a whole additional use case. Viofo was kind enough to send a

REVIEW – For years, my hard drive “collection” has been growing with an ever-changing array of trays, bays, and enclosures, fueling my thirst for a more elegant solution.
