Ohwill 20

REVIEW – When I took this reviewer role at The Gadgeteer, I did not think I would be reviewing furniture, but here we are!  I love gadgets, but I also love all things analogue as well.  I journal with pen and paper every day.  I listen to vinyl on occasion.  I read physical books (most […]

ecovacs x11 10

REVIEW – Every new robot vacuum/mop that I review seems like it will be my last one. Why? Because each one has upped the game, so what could possibly get better? Then, I test a new one and get proven wrong. The new flagship Ecovacs DEEBOT X11 ONMICYCLONE is the latest culprit that raised my

SolidSafe BMX battery review – They nailed it. No, really.

SOLID SAFE 5

REVIEW – The SolidSafe BMX portable battery is a Kickstarter project that features a normal looking charger device with secret sauce inside. The company claims a nail through the battery won’t affect its operation. Where’s my hammer? This ‘all or nothing’ project is open until September 15, 2025, but they’re already way over their funding

Fender x Teufel Rockster Cross Portable Bluetooth speaker review – Bigger and badder

Fender Teufel Rockster Cross 5

REVIEW – When guitar amplifier maker Fender joined forces with Germany’s Teufel Audio, it solved two issues. First, Fender got instant recognition in the portable Bluetooth speaker market. Secondly, Fender can now compete with Marshall, another amp company who have made some popular Bluetooth speakers. It’s a win-win for Fender. When I reviewed the Fender

Litheli W1 Pro review – An Electric Foldable Utility Camping Wagon with Power Bank

LW1P 01

REVIEW – I’m pretty sure I would not ever placed Utility Wagon on my “what do I really need” bingo card, but here we are. One recently came up for review from Litheli, a brand I’m only familiar with due to a string of reviews on the Gadgeteer by Julian. As a result I found

SwitchBot Roller Shade 22

REVIEW – I asked to review SwitchBot’s roller shades in early 2025, but somehow, FedEx damaged the package. It took a while to straighten out, but I was very excited to receive one!

Swytch Max+ eBike Conversion Kit review – A solid evolution and a great battery

SBMP 01

In July ’24 I reviewed the Swytch Go, further back was the Swytch Air in January ’23, and in November ’19, the Swytch Universal eBike Kit, AKA the one that started it all. This time around Swytch has evolved the battery system
