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!
PROPS Luggage review – this carry-on bag has legs! Read More
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
ROKR Magic Cello puzzle review – it will test your mechanical puzzling skills! Read More
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

REVIEW – I have been using Withings scales every day to track my weight since I reviewed their first WiFi Body Scale back in 2010 and more recently, the Withings Body Cardio Scale that I reviewed in 2016. I find their scales to be excellent as far as reliability and ease of use. Can I

REVIEW – I cannot wear “in ear” headphones. They just hurt too much! I even avoid the popular Apple AirPods. Besides bone conduction and traditional over-the-ear headphones, there’s this interesting middle ground of “air condition” headphones that sit just outside your ear. What is it? The TOZO OpenReal True Wireless Earbuds are a stereo, Bluetooth

REVIEW – With two dogs and two teenagers, I spend a lot of time vacuuming. My robotic vacuum is programmed to clean once a day, but I also find it helpful to have a cordless stick vacuum handy for quick clean-ups, stairs, my car, and hard-to-reach spots. Let’s see if the Belife cordless vacuum fits the

REVIEW – Do you want a little more real estate on your monitor? Do you normally have more than a few applications running not to mention numerous tabs open in your browser of choice? Me too. I usually have my work email, Teams, Chrome with at least 8 tabs, and various other applications open all

REVIEW – A lot of electric modes of transportation get reviewed at the Gadgeteer and while I’ll ride the occasional scooter, the electric bike is by far my favorite gadget to review. I think they could be game changers for a lot of people because they are so quick and convenient for short trips, particularly

REVIEW – I have been looking at various companies and their TV backlight products for some time. I have an 85″ TV in my media area in my basement and I have always felt that backlighting the TV would produce a really nice effect. Over the past few years, I have reviewed several lighting products

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Have you ever power-snorkeled? We have. We did it in Grand Turk. You don your mask and are given what amounts to a caged propeller with handles and a trigger. Hold it in front of your body and pull the trigger. The propeller spins and pulls you through the water. It is
NEWS – We love our mechanical keyboards here at the Gadgeteer, and I stumbled across an interesting collaboration between ProtoArc and RoyalAxe. This caught my attention as ProtoArc is an ergonomics-first brand, while these RoyalAxe boards are more in the gamer or conventional keyboard vein. All of the keyboards in the ProtoArc X RoyalAxe lineup have

REVIEW – I love my cat, but scooping poop is not on my favorite activities list. I’ve owned several automated litterboxes to help facilitate the feces and love Leo’s Loo Too! C’mon, fellow Gadgeteer. Let’s have a look! What is it? Casa Leo Leo’s Loo Too is a Wi-Fi-connected automated device that empties soiled clumping
