Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
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 […]
REVIEW – I’m no stranger to Govee and have several of their products actively serving in my home – outdoor light strips on the front of my house, in the bathroom, and bedroom, and a light curtain in the front window. All have been reliable and great fun. I love the ability to change the

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

REVIEW – After several years of use, the blinds and curtains in my living room had definitely seen better days. They were in urgent need of replacement. Fortunately, The Gadgeteer received an opportunity to review customizable motorized shades from Graywind, and I eagerly took the chance. Graywind offers a variety of blinds, and I decided

REVIEW – I’ve been a woodworker for most of my life. Starting with simple tools and crude techniques, I think I’ve improved over the years. Advances in woodworking have truly been extraordinary. It’s a great time to be a woodworker. CNC machines are what I consider the pinnacle of these advances. Projects that can be

REVIEW – I’ve had solar-powered LED lights as part of my outdoor landscape decoration for years now. However, one feature I’ve been waiting for is an outdoor solar-powered light with user-customizable color patterns. Linkind has made that dream come true with their new SPG Smart Solar Pathway Lights. Let’s take a look, install them, and

REVIEW – Whenever I am working in my garage workshop, I always find myself in need of a flashlight. And, in most cases during the summer, I eventually start to sweat and need a fan. How about two for the price of one with this Qardoz 26800mAh Portable Fan Rechargeable with 18W Detachable Solar Panel?

REVIEW – Two years ago, I reviewed the usmile Y10 Pro electric toothbrush and was very impressed by how well it cleaned my teeth and the amazing multi-month battery life. I was so impressed that I was still using it until they sent me their brand new usmile Y20 Pro smart electric toothbrush. It looks

REVIEW – We seem to have developed a skunk problem in my neighborhood. I say that because my dog has been sprayed no less than five times this summer (three times in one very smelly week) and has had multiple “encounters.” Now, that might seem odd since I live within the city of Los Angeles

REVIEW – I have been an Apple junkie since the 4S came out, so the Android ecosystem is a whole new frontier to me. My aunt, however, is getting into Android, so I thought I would try one myself to see how far they’ve come. The TABWEE T90 11 inch tablet is affordable, has a

REVIEW – Many who live in Texas seem to suffer from allergies. Our family certainly does. Thus, I have been searching for air purifiers that might help us out. When the Alen BreatheSmart 35i Air Purifier came up for review, I wanted to see if it would clean our air to decrease our allergy symptoms.

REVIEW – I am doing some remodeling in my house, and I finally get to create my book nook. I have been dreaming of this tiny space forever, and knew that the lighting would need to be something extra. The Govee Uplighter floor lamp is more than just a light for reading. This lamp can

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

REVIEW – I have spent the past few months moving into my new office/studio and working hard to ensure that I only use the necessary and best equipment so that the appearance mirrors the concept in my head, and that there is the capability and functionality that I need. I use a large 49″ monitor

REVIEW – If you’re into flashlights like me or just looking for a serious everyday carry upgrade, then the Nitecore EDC37 USB-C Rechargeable Bright Flat Flashlight is one worth checking out.

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

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! My wife and I redecorated our bedroom and wanted shades worthy of Gadgeteer status. I’m pleased to report that my enthusiasm wasn’t

REVIEW – One of my favorite things is walking into my house and having it smell like a delicious cookie, pumpkin spice, or apple pie. Having six kids can start to smell…. strange… I have owned candle warmers previously, but would forget to turn them on, or off, and would frequently need to replace everything.

REVIEW – If you that review headline seems familiar, you’re not imagining things. 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
