Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – Last year, I had the privilege of reviewing my first OnePlus phone, the OnePlus 10 Pro, and now over one year later, they have sent me their latest flagship phone, the OnePlus 11 5G. The 10 Pro wasn’t enough to make me want to switch to it from an iPhone as my daily […]
REVIEW – We live in a community that has several pools that we enjoy. But we have to walk/bike to them, so we carry everything with us when we go. That means that we carry our floaties to the pool and blow them up when we get there. So while everyone else jumps in the

REVIEW – Since the pandemic, we added a large air purifier to the main living area of our home and some small ones in our bedrooms. When we were offered the AIRTHEREAL ADH70 HEPA air purifier for review, Mason requested this one for his room because he liked the look and features. We gave it

REVIEW – Things get mislaid. With as much gadgety goodness as most of us have littering our lives, this is especially true for Gadgeteers. Some companies even have gone into the business of helping us keep track of our stuff – we’ve reviewed various tracking devices and services here over the years. Targus has recently

REVIEW – Many laptops include only one USB port. The Tikier 10-port USB 3.0 hub solves the need to perform the USB swap by providing all the ports most people will ever need and up to 12 watts of charging power per port. I have one to review; read on to see what I think!

REVIEW – I have never had the opportunity to cook with a wireless meat thermometer, so I was very excited to test out the ARMEATOR ONE Smart Bluetooth Wireless Meat Thermometer when it arrived at my doorstep. Would this wireless thermometer work when my grill is closed? Could it take the heat, so to speak?

REVIEW – I have almost as many bags/backpacks as I have portable batteries. It’s gotten to the point that I am hiding them from my wife every time I get another one. I mean, can you have too many?? Sometimes the situation requires a unique set of features for your bag, am I right? There are

REVIEW – Once again it is summer in NY and the hot sizzling tempos are here. While I use window ACs in most of the rooms in my home, a good oscillating fan that is capable of providing actual cooling would be a welcome device, especially with these ridiculous prices for electricity. Since I am

REVIEW – The Lumintop Thor1 Spin Gyro LED flashlight is certainly the flashiest, most unique flashlight I’ve ever laid my hands on. I mean, look at it. If a flashlight and a disco ball had a baby, it would look just like this. It’s silver, it spins, it lights up, and even glows in the

REVIEW – When I reviewed my first e-bike, the TurboAnt Thunder T1, in 2021, I instantly became enamored with the world of e-bikes. After riding over 1700 miles on the Thunder T1, I decided it was time to explore other options in the e-bike market. That’s when I got a review offer for the Heybike

REVIEW – In 2013, Nomad launched an IndieGoGo campaign for the ChargeKey, a short charging cable for iPhone and Android phones designed to fit on your keychain. That successful crowdfunding campaign went on to bring in over $172,000 and now a decade later, Nomad is bringing back that classic charging cable that has been updated

REVIEW – It is summer again, and it feels like the entire planet got hotter this year. I recently took the window AC out of my home office/studio and installed it in one of the windows of my living room to silence my kids’ complaints. Now my office is burning up and I need relief.

REVIEW – The further I travel from civilization on my solo Overlanding adventures, the more I realize the importance of staying connected. It turns out though, remote places with beautiful scenic views often don’t get reliable cell service. Luckily, I was offered the chance to review a cell signal booster specifically designed for the Offroading/Overlanding
REVIEW – Not only have I come to appreciate the broad selection of Huion pen tablets and pen displays, but I also depend on them in my daily work. My desktop contains two 24 in. Huion pen displays—the Huion Kamvas 24 Plus and now, the Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4K). The 24 Plus has proven

REVIEW – If using your traditional mouse for eight hours a day is starting to cause you pain, or if you’re really short on desk space, a trackball mouse might make your computer time more comfortable. These devices stay stationary and allow you to move your cursor by actuating a trackball. Think ‘Golden Tee’ but

REVIEW – In preparation for my county’s fair it was almost perfect timing that TORRAS provided the Coolify Zone Wearable Fan to test / evaluate. Can a device, worn at one’s waist effectively cool one down while walking around in a blistering summer heat? Exactly how effective is the TORRAS Coolify Zone Wearable Fan in

REVIEW – We are a family of cyclists. We love to bike for recreation, but we’d also love to be able to take our bikes to work and school. The problem? Our climate gets very hot and humid, and nobody wants to start the day a sweaty mess. Enter the eBike. We chose to test

REVIEW – When it comes to luggage, bags are pretty much all the same, right? That’s what I thought until I saw these carry-on bags from PROPS Luggage. They look like regular rolling bags, but they hide a feature that makes them way more convenient to use than all the other bags in my closet!

REVIEW – So you like puzzles do ya? Then prepare yourself for a challenge like no other! Not only is the ROKR Magic Cello a 3D Wooden Puzzle, but it’s also a fully functioning mechanical music box once you get it assembled! But make no mistake: it is quite the challenge. Did the Cello beat

REVIEW – During my time with the FBI, I remember the keycard access controllers were combined with the incredibly clever Hirsch ScramblePads. Think of your regular ATM keypad, but the numbers underneath the buttons change each time you enter your code. This increases security since it’s harder to “crack” the code just by fingerprint smudges
