REVIEW – We have already had a few 100-degree days in San Antonio, TX. That means it is pool time. I love being in the pool, but I hate cleaning it. Having a robot pool cleaner at my beck and call, especially one that can run for a long time, clean the walls and floor, […]

REVIEW – I’m sorry if you’re a Vegan, but in my opinion, one of the best smells in the universe is a brand new leather wallet. My nose is doubly happy because I have two new wallets to show you today. The Haptic Dash Wallet, and the Cash Wrap. One is for a minimalist, and

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed and owned quite a few Ebikes (and non-E bikes) during my lifetime, but one style has eluded me thus far: the cafe racer (also known as “scrambler” or moped) style Ebike. I see more and more riders zooming around on these bikes in my town and I’ve always wondered what they’re

REVIEW – I am so deep into the world of content creation, and I create a variety of videos. Solid microphones with great audio and reception are a critical part of my process. Lately, I have been working hard at building myself a new studio in my home, and I want to make sure that
REVIEW— SwitchBot’s previous incarnation, the Lock Pro, is still on duty, keeping my storage room, lawn mower, and OrangeStorm Giga 3D printer secure. I love being able to unlock the door without fumbling with keys. One of my neighbors commented that he thought it was very cool. I couldn’t agree more. SwitchBot has an updated version,

REVIEW – Robot vacuums are one of those things that you really do not need, but are oh so nice to have. So when we got our first one about 4 years ago it went over really well in your household. Cut to about 4 months ago, and that original one has just worn out

REVIEW – Years ago, a Dremel kit was a must-have toolset for DIYers and crafters. They were very useful tools with a variety of bits for different tasks, but they were bulky with a thick power cord. These days, rechargeable cordless tools are more convenient and compact. Today, I want to introduce you to the

REVIEW – There are more and more occasions that a good pair of earbuds can save you a whole lot of grief. I’m talking about mowing the lawn, power tools, drowning out the gamer sitting behind you, or you just need some quiet study time. Those moments that a nice soothing song and some noise

REVIEW – The brand of this tablet, 8849, is the height of Mt. Everest in meters. That pretty much tells you everything that you need to know about what this tablet is intended to do. If you ever need a tablet for your end-of-the-world go-bag, the 8849 Tank Pad Tablet is the one to choose.

REVIEW – Summertime is travel time and that means I’ve got to keep my power banks handy. You never know what the power situation will be on a flight, and as a gadgeteer, I’ve got way too many things that need charging. Between the watch, the ring, the earbuds, the tablets and my phone, I’m

REVIEW – Summer is around the corner again, and so is the heat. Last year, we had six air conditioners running in my home daily. The electricity bills were enormous. I want to substitute some good-performing fans this year to help lower the cost. Enter the Dreo TurboPoly Fan 508S. ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $129.99

REVIEW – As I’ve gotten older, I developed what’s called Interstitial Lung Disease. In a nutshell, I can’t exert myself as I once did with yard work, especially in the hot, humid Florida climate. That resulted in having to spend hundreds of dollars per month for a lawn service (we have a 1-acre backyard). When

REVIEW – Many people are still work-from-home and also want to game or do personal computing at the same desk that they work from at home, and that’s where a KVM can help. I personally have to switch between computers fairly often and end up swapping 2 or 3 cables a few times a week
REVIEW – Each May, we give our pool vacuum a good workout when we open our inground pool for the year. At the end of last season, our third pool vacuum died. When we saw the option to review the AIRROBO PC10, we knew we’d put it to good use. This is our fourth vacuum

REVIEW – I have a Ninja blender and coffee maker so I have only associated Ninja with small kitchen appliances. When they asked me to review their new FlexFlame Propane Grill and Cooking System I had no idea they even made grills. Well, turns out they make a lot of products I had no idea
REVIEW – I recently had to get rid of a couple of pieces of furniture that had just worn out after years and years of use and I’ve been on the lookout for a good replacement chair. I needed something that wasn’t too big and the OHWILL Swivel Rocker Recliner chair came along and looked

REVIEW – I’m a bit of a productivity nerd and like trying a variety of apps, systems, and methodologies. But the one thing I always have problems with is focusing. If something can distract me, it will. So I was happy to accept an offer from New Thing Lab to test out a prototype of

REVIEW – In the last few months I’ve seen several police officers and insurance brokers talk about the importance of getting a dash camera for cars, so I’ve been on the lookout for a good camera I can put in the car my kids have been driving around. I have an older Pontiac Vibe that

REVIEW – I have reviewed several e-bikes for The Gadgeteer and, in doing so, have found a new hobby. Each one has been different in some way from the last. Different-sized wheels. More or less powerful motors. Rear-drive or mid-drive motor. 1, 2, or 3 batteries. So many options. Another interest of mine would be

REVIEW – I love that companies are developing a variety of hobby 3D printers for makers. Being able to bring my ideas to life is amazing! PioCreat is a subsidiary of Creality and recently completed a successful Kickstarter campaign for their new HALOT-X1 resin 3D printer, and I was given the opportunity to review it,
