Dreame H15 Pro Heat 24

REVIEW – Let me begin this review by saying that my wife—“Queen Cheri”—is a clean freak. She hates dirty floors. We use a Noesis Florio robot vacuum to clean 1-2 times per week, and then she vacuums every Saturday using her beloved Dyson stick vacuum. After she’s done vacuuming the floors spotless (the Dyson’s laser

REVIEW – We live near a very large lake that has an abundance of wildlife. There’s a public dock that I love to take my camera to and try to capture some images. There are a ton of alligators, sandhill cranes, ospreys, eagles, etc. Bringing them closer to me would be great, but they don’t

Edifier ES300 Tabletop Wireless Speaker review – Quality isn’t cheap

Edifier ES300 17

REVIEW – It’s no secret how much I’ve grown to appreciate what Edifier has accomplished in the speaker market. The sheer quantity and quality of their audio product are impressive.

xplus piccolo n150 6

REVIEW – For some reason, I really like tiny gadgets. It’s not only that they are easier to carry around, but also just the mere fact that there’s so much power in a small device like this. Recently, I saw an ad for the X-Plus Piccolo N150, an 8-inch convertible laptop with full Windows 11

Vulcao Golf Club/Ball Cleaner Bag and Brush Set review – Cleaning up your golf game

vulcao cleaner 22
