REVIEW – I previously reviewed the Arcade Belts Carto A2 Stretch belt and I’ve worn it daily since so when Arcade asked if I would check out their new National Geographic inspired belt I couldn’t say no. Let’s see how the Arcade National Geographic 1888 performs. What is it? Arcade Belts and National Geographic have […]

LEXGO L10 Electric Scooter review – Hey, ho! Let’s Go!

Lexgo L10 Electric Scooter 24

REVIEW – An interesting addition to electric scooters popped up recently with some new functionality that I had not seen before. A brand called LexGo out of Italy has a series of electric scooters with a smart helmet that pairs to the scooter, something I had never seen before. It also has a collapsible basket

Trot Elevated Complete Pet Bowl Set review – The last bowl set your doggo will ever need

trot elevatedcompletepetbowlset review 1

REVIEW – Meet my dog, Cooper. Cooper is a one-and-a-half-year-old French Bulldog. Since French Bulldogs often suffer from digestive, neck, and back problems, Cooper must have the correct type of food bowl. This means the bowl must be raised off the ground, and I prefer a slow feeder bowl to help with his digestion. The

Huion Kamvas Pro 19 graphics display review – When bigger isn’t better for you

Huion Pro 19 17

REVIEW – Last June (2024), I reviewed the excellent Huion Kamvas Pro 27 graphics display. It’s big, has a beautiful 4K screen, and it’s expensive at $2,000. However, if that price is a budget buster, there are two good choices available from Huion—the Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4K) or  the new Kamvas Pro 19—this review.

CARLUEX Go 25 e1724732270423

REVIEW – Wireless CarPlay debuted in 2017 and wireless Android Auto came out in 2019 but not all cars support wireless protocol. The CARLUEX GO Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto Adapter allows wireless connections and other features on vehicles limited to a wired USB connection. I have one to review; read on to see what I think!

Switchbot K10+ Pro Mini Robot Vacuum review – The “Yoda” of robot vacuums

SwitchBot K10 plus mini robot vacuum 42

REVIEW – An Amazon search for “robot vacuum” yields an insane10,000+ results. My first was a Dyson 360 Eye in 2016. Since then, I’ve had at least two patrolling my house, gathering the flotsam and jetsam my family, pets, guests, and the wind leaves behind. I don’t know what I would do without them! My

Geekom AX8 Pro mini PC with AI mini PC integration review – A petite, power punching PC

geekom ax8pro 15

REVIEW – In my role as a Gadgeteer, I get to review different gadgets that require or benefit from being connected to a PC, whether through a USB connection or a wireless connection. My “personal” PC is a work-issued laptop that sometimes gets the job done for work but certainly isn’t the workhorse I crave.

iGulu F1 smart beer maker review – It’s like a bread machine, but for beer!

igulu brewer 13

REVIEW – We’ve dabbled a little in home brewing but our results were not consistent. And what’s worse than spending time and money and then waiting months for a beer that’s just meh? When we saw this, it seemed like an almost guaranteed way to get (fast!) results. Like a bread machine for beer! We

Hurom H70 Easy Clean Slow Juicer review – When my Mrs. misses fresh juice! 

Hurom H70 Easy Clean Juicer 03

REVIEW—My brain short circuits when considering the love/hate relationship with my juicer. Why such emotion for a kitchen appliance? It’s a pain to clean, prompting me to look at the Hurom H70 Easy Clean Slow Juicer. Can it alter my perceptions of kitchen reality? Oh, gosh! I sure hope so!     What is it? The Hurom

Shokz Openfit Air earbuds review – All your audio, while still hearing your environment

shokz earbuds 4

REVIEW – I exercise a lot outdoors, alone.  That gives me an opportunity to listen to music, podcasts, and audio books, which I absolutely love.  But running and riding bikes on streets with cars can be a bit dangerous, even more so when you can’t hear those cars coming. My “go-to” ear buds for my

GoveeLife Smart Thermo-Hygrometer 3 Lite (1 Wi-Fi Gateway + 1 Sensor) review

Govee Smart Thermo 30

REVIEW – My home office/studio is quite packed with equipment that includes multiple large EcoFlow power stations, several computers and monitors, and the network rack with the switches, security DVRs, etc. I am never worried during the NY winters because the equipment remains relatively cool. Still, during the summer, and especially this summer, the room
