REVIEW – Last summer, I reviewed the EcoFlow Wave air conditioner and if you read that review you know that I was pretty excited to review it and quite pleased with its purpose and function. I was about the take it out of storage when I learned of the opportunity to review the new EcoFlow […]
REVIEW – I’ve started carrying a pocketknife in my EDC, and I *may* have developed a new obsession. My latest acquisition is this nifty cutter: the K.100 Engraved Blade Pocket Knife from Tactica. This simple & sturdy knife gives off a bit of a tactical vibe, but it’s also got some great details in the
REVIEW – In my job I often work in dark spaces, under counters, in equipment racks, in ceilings, all situations that require me to use a flashlight, preferably hands-free. I’ve held flashlights in my teeth before but since they’re almost always made of metal that’s not very comfortable. I can use a work light, sitting

REVIEW – As electric vehicles continue to increase in popularity, public charging stations are becoming more congested. If you have a driveway or garage where you can install a dedicated EV charger, it will pay off pretty quickly in terms of both cost and time saved. This time around I have the 40A MaxiCharger from

REVIEW – Last year I tested and reviewed a countertop water filter system that has now become a daily usage appliance in my home. We went from buying cases of water monthly to buying one case every 2 months. In my basement, I have a media space and a bar where we entertain. On the

REVIEW – The Eve Flare is a lightweight, battery-powered, plastic ambient lighting sphere that can be controlled by Apple HomeKit to adjust the lamp’s brightness and color.

REVIEW – I think every review I have done lately has me mentioning how fricken fracking hot it has been in Texas lately. Heat is something you learn to live with, and personally, I prefer the heat over cold any day. You learn how to be smart in the heat and protect yourself from overheating.

REVIEW – It seems that the smartwatch has become as much a fashion accessory as an intelligent wearable. While Samsung lags behind that other Fruit-flavored brand when it comes to accessories, recently third-party manufacturers are stepping up and filling in the gaps. Case in point: Pitaka, who entered the fray with a fashion-forward carbon fiber

REVIEW – I have been fortunate to be able to test several mini PCs as a search for my new compact setup and possibly use them to replace my laptop and my larger computers in my home office/studio. So far, all the mini PCs I have tested have been built with AMD CPUs. Now I

REVIEW – If you have an older or base model car, you may not have an entertainment system that easily integrates with your phone. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay offer a feature rich mobile experience and are an OEM option on many new cars, but what if you didn’t get it from the factory? For

REVIEW – Summer is officially here in South Texas, and for me and my family, that means BBQ! I am not talking about tossing some hamburgers on the grill or loading up your kettle grill with charcoal and grilling up a steak. I am talking about hours of slow-cooking a big chunk of meat into
REVIEW – So my wife doesn’t like my E-Win Racing Knight KTB gaming chair that I previously reviewed front and center in the living room. Crazy right? So when Vari offered their very classy looking Upholstered Desk Chair for review I thought maybe this could get spousal approval. Let’s see how it does. What is

With some many companies jumping into this booming market, finding the right scooter in a sea of options can feel daunting. Fluid has brought to market the Mosquito

REVIEW – SkyNet didn’t take over the world all at once. No, it did it in steps, incremental improvements until it was able to eventually become self-aware and the robot overlords took over. I don’t want to alarm you but it’s happening today. We’re witnessing it with the latest incremental improvements from robot vacuum experts,

REVIEW – The Olight Warrior Mini 3 flashlight is a new flashlight from Olight. Can a 4.25” LED flashlight with non-sharp, shallow crenulations be a worthy weapon, or might it be best suited as an excellent flashlight with a surprise feature? I’ll focus on the build quality, light production, and features of the new Olight

REVIEW – Portable gaming monitors have been fairly expensive since the first models hit the market since the panels made for gaming are more demanding than your average consumer panels. Many gamers today demand high refresh rates and minimal input lag, especially if they’re using said portable monitor for e-sports or other fast-paced titles. Previously
REVIEW – We’ve reviewed many power stations here at the Gadgeteer, partly because they’re so versatile. You can use them for emergency backup power for computers, tablets, phones, or pretty much any other device. Paired with a good solar panel (or two) you can create an off-grid energy solution for camping, RV’s, and many other

REVIEW – I have had a robot vacuum in my house since 2018, when I reviewed the Deenkee I7 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner. Since then, robot vacuum cleaners have come a long way in being more efficient and offering other functions like mopping and vacuuming. In my ongoing effort to keep my house clean with as
