Emotn N1 Netflix officially licensed projector review – a great 1080P projector choice

I’d class the next group into a mid-tier, where most have much better optical […]

YARGO YP100 100W solar panel review – lightweight and works great

Yargo SolarPanel 6

REVIEW – Every time we get a power bill, our carrier makes a point of showing us that we are using way, way more energy than our neighbors. While we try to be conscious of our power usage by using energy-efficient appliances and turning off lights we’re not using, it still makes us feel bad.

Olafus 80W Outdoor Motion Sensor LED Security Light review

Olafus Led Security Light 4 1

REVIEW – Living in the suburbs of NY is a nice life, but it is not one to take for granted. Many folks believe that the further into the suburbs they move, the less crime exists.

Rollin Light 6 inch RGBCW lights 02

Β  REVIEW – Β I remember buying my first Light Emitting Diodes from Radio Shack in the 70s. They were anemic red and a pair was $1.99. In 2023 dollars, that would be over $9.Β  Now for about $90 ($15 each), Rollin Light sells a six-pack of room-filling LED lights! How do they work? Let’s have

sportneer elite D9 percussive massager 1

REVIEW – I’m getting a little long in the tooth. Enough so that whenever I do yard work, my back hurts. It’s from doing stupid things in my youth that I’d rather not comment on. I’ve tried rubs, ointments, salves, patches, you name it. So, when the Sportneer Elite D9 percussive massage gun came up

REVIEW – This is a smart bird feeder from Birdkiss. My plan was to document assembly and setup and then take it to the other side of the country and install it at my mom’s since she loves birds. That plan went out the window when I started using it. The birds showed up and
