REVIEW – I have reviewed several air filters over the past few months. I have come to find that a big part of getting the right air filter is getting one correctly sized for the room you are filtering. It also matters as to what types of things you are trying to filter out of …
REVIEW – Steam. The universal cleaner. Steam cleans everything. It disinfects, sanitizes, and has a way to get out stains that other cleaning products simply can’t. Especially in today’s world, steam can offer a degree of cleaning that is more important than ever. Costway has a consumer-grade steamer that offers a wide variety of cleaning …
REVIEW – Back in October 2018, I reviewed the Matrix Powerwatch X, the first smartwatch powered by the wearer’s body heat. Since then, Matrix Industries has been developing the next generation of product and offered us the opportunity to review the PowerWatch Series 2. Let’s check it out. What is it? The Matrix Industries PowerWatch …
REVIEW – Some items are very much personal choices: phone cases, shoulder bags, etc. The fit/feel/function just has to line up on all counts for something to fit one’s routine. I have family members who are hard on their phones, and opt for thickness, cushion, and protection in their phone case selection. Other colleagues …

REVIEW – I’ve always liked larger, take-up-the-whole-wrist watches, but the few I own have gone unworn since getting my Apple watch. I recently passed my Dad’s Shinola Argonite to my son who has this unexplained connection and appreciation to all things analog. It felt good to give him something that his Grandfather wore daily. The …

REVIEW – Watches. There are two schools of thought on watches. You either love them or you have no use for them. I am in the latter school – I love watches. It’s actually a little bit of an illness. I have more than 25 watches. When the opportunity to review the Zinvo Blade Acid …
REVIEW – When I was younger I had a projector instead of a TV. I loved the larger picture, but as a heavily used living room TV it was far from ideal: any light in the room detracts from the picture, the constant fan noise was annoying, and the unit broke after less than a …

REVIEW – I live in New York City, which is the epicenter in the United States for the life-changing Covid-19 outbreak. For the past 2 months, I have been working from home and have been a part of conference calls that last for hours at a time. It quickly became evident that I needed a …
REVIEW – I’m just going to start this review by saying I really like this stylus. I’m not an artist but having a pen-like pointing device and writing instrument has been pretty convenient for some of the work I do on my iPad. I have fairly large hands and sometimes when I select text or …
REVIEW – Coffee is life, and I love a good coffee gadget! I’m testing the ANKOMN 2-in-1 Smart Coffee Measuring Scoop, a clever little accessory that makes my morning routine *just* a bit easier. Plus it matches my new favorite mug! Hey! Ho! Let’s go… to the review! What is it? It’s a coffee scoop …
REVIEW – Truly wireless earbuds have been around for a while and are nothing new. However, TW earbuds with active noise cancellation is a more recent development. Recently, I was given a pair from a company called Ausounds to review. Having never used a pair of ANC earbuds, I was eager to give them a …

REVIEW – There have to be hundreds of wireless Bluetooth earbuds out on the market today. Recently, I have seen a jump in those that are directly copying the design style of AirPods. Boltune is one of those companies that jumped on the AirPod mimick bandwagon. They have two different versions that I was sent …

REVIEW – Chromebooks haven’t been reviewed much here on the Gadgeteer, the last real reference I can find is around 2018. Julie has made mention in passing over a number of her “finding the right device” reviews, but nothing substantial. Well recently my 2013 Nexus 7 tablet finally passed away and I started looking for …
