By / / Featured, Deals, Must Read, Reviews / , , / Leave a Comment
INKWON Tag the gadgeteer review 5

Pocket printers usually pick a lane. Polaroid wants you printing photos. Phomemo wants you printing labels. Nothing on the shelf has tried to handle photos, stickers, heat-transfer t-shirt prints, and temporary tattoos out of the same box. INKWON’s first product, the INKWON TAG, makes exactly that pitch on Kickstarter. INKWON Printing is a Kowloon, Hong […]

Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 Review the gadgeteer 32

Most ergonomic chairs promise your back will thank you. Then you lean forward to type, shift sideways to grab your coffee, or recline to watch a video, and that promise quietly breaks. The lumbar pad stays where it was. The armrests don’t follow. Your lower back finds open air where support used to be. Sihoo

beatbot astrorinse aquasense x review the gadgeteer 37

The AstroRinse station is the reason the Beatbot AquaSense X exists. It’s the first automatic filter-cleaning station built for a pool robot, and The Gadgeteer is among the first publications to put it through real-world testing. The robot docks, the station rinses its filter, empties its debris bin, and three minutes later everything is clean

Bebird EarSight Ultra X Review the gadgeteer 12

You know the feeling. Something shifts in your ear canal when you chew, or presses against the wall when you lie on your side. You grab a cotton swab, tilt your head, and start digging blind. You can’t see what you’re pushing. You can’t tell if you’re clearing the blockage or compacting it deeper. The

I’m a fan of e-paper devices. My first e-reader was a Sony PRS-505 (from Julie!), and much later, I joined the Kindle ecosystem when the devices were finally affordable. I have gotten a ton of use out of my Kindles over the years, until I upgraded to a Kobo Libra Colour shortly after its launch in early 2024.

REVIEW – Every hotel Wi-Fi network is a trust exercise you’re losing. Connect a laptop to the hotel’s guest network, and within seconds your device has announced itself to every other machine on that shared subnet, broadcasting its name, services, and open ports to strangers you’ll never meet.

Soundpeats Air5 Pro 21

Last September, I reviewed the Soundpeats H3 hybrid earbuds. What I said at the beginning of the review bears repeating: Reviewing earbuds (earphones, in-ear monitors, etc.) today is both good and bad news. The good news is that it’s almost impossible to buy a terrible pair of earbuds. Unless you bought a $15 pair at

DJI Power 1000 Mini Price

ARTICLE – Portable power stations weren’t supposed to get better by getting smaller. The whole category started because people needed more capacity, not less bulk. But that’s the tension DJI is now betting on with the Power 1000 Mini, a 1,000 Wh lithium iron phosphate battery that weighs 11.5 kg and measures 314 x 212

REVIEW – The Hill Country Region in Texas, including the city of San Antonio, has very hard water.  A large majority of our water comes from limestone aquifers. We have had a water softener in our homes since 1998, and it makes a huge difference in reducing calcium buildup in our appliances and bathroom fixtures.
