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

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 – 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

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

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
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
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”

REVIEW – xTool recently released their newest portable laser, the xTool F2. I did not get to review the original F1 laser, so I was excited to be chosen to review the F2. Read on to find out how this tiny laser is loaded with big features; it even surprised me. Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price:

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

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

REVIEW – In a perfect world, every content creator would have their own personal videographer, someone who is always ready to keep the camera focused on them. That’s not always possible, so I am testing a new AI-powered gimbal from Hohem to see how well it can do this job. ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $239

REVIEW – Here we go, folks!! Cycrown came through and finally sent me the CycHunter ebike, and I am very excited to assemble it and take it for a spin. If you can recall, I recently tested the Cycrown Dremax and Roma ebikes and wrote a comparison review. I love those bikes, but the entire

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

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

REVIEW – Aventon is one of the more recognizable entry level electric bike brands and I was thrilled when I was identified to review their all new Adventure 3 class 2 E-Bike. I have previously reviewed two hub drive class 2 E-Bikes along with owning one of those higher priced mid drive class 1 E-Bikes.

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

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
