REVIEW – Late last year (2022) the FDA issued a final rule that improves access to hearing aids with the creation of a new category OTC or Over-The-Counter where devices can be purchased without medical approval. The Alpha Pros from ELEHEAR fall into that category and at $999 they seem like a bargain compared to […]

REVIEW – A while back, I reviewed the Luxear Arc-Chill Cooling Comforter. I found that it was a very well made and comfortable summer comforter with some neat technology that could actually keep you cool on steamy nights. Luxear also has cooling pillowcases with the same technology built in. But does it work the same

REVIEW – Sometimes a review offer will come in for us Gadgeteers that couldn’t have been timed better. In this case, our 14 month old toddler is starting to walk/run everywhere, and he got a balance bike for his first birthday but hasn’t been able to get the hang of that model yet. The Cooghi

REVIEW – It’s been several years since I have even thought about getting a scale, let alone one of the fancy types. I’ve been on old faithful, the cheapest you can get, and it was time for an upgrade. Simple and easy to use was important to me, and the iHealth Nexus Pro wireless body

REVIEW – The world of e-bikes is growing larger and larger every day. I have been fascinated by them since they started to become more mainstream. When the Oraimo TRCKER 100 (yes, it’s spelled that way by the manufacturer) came up for review, I knew I had to jump at the chance. Boy, am I

REVIEW – Where is your favorite spot to read? Mine is on the couch. I typically read on my phone or a dedicated eReader device. But I also read actual physical books and when I do, I need light and a lot of it because I have scars on my cornea from a condition called

REVIEW – This year my wife has experienced an amazing summer gardening season with crops that have produced bountifully each day. I can’t remember the last time we went to the market to buy greens. Despite overwhelming evidence of her green thumb, she vehemently denies having that skill. Nevertheless, she has been so successful, that

REVIEW – I bring my laptop to Scout meetings, but sometimes power outlets are hard to find in some older buildings. Enter the XBA 10ft retractable cord reel. Now I’ve got an extension cord that tucks away neatly in my bag with plenty of outlets to spare. What is it? The XBA 10ft cord reel

REVIEW – I have been on a power station review kick these past few months. I have been looking for the perfect portable power station to take with me during all-day action photo shooting events at high school marching band competitions. I get a small table on the track up against the stands. On that
REVIEW – We have reviewed dozens of 3D printers here on The Gadgeteer, but so far, I’ve personally only reviewed 3 and the first 2 didn’t even count because they were more like toys than real 3D printers. But today, I want to show you my current favorite and best one that I’ve reviewed so

REVIEW – The Canon PIXMA G620 is an inkjet photo printer designed for consumer use. In a previous article, I reviewed the G620’s ability to print from my personal computer, a Mac mini, and I found that after learning how to configure a few settings, it printed beautiful photos, both on 4 x 6 glossy

REVIEW – Whether you are a photographer, filmmaker, videographer, or all-around content creator, chances are that you are using a light source in one way or another.

REVIEW – Aer got their start by crowdfunding a combination gym/office bag and as they approach a 10 year anniversary next year, they now have quite an exhaustive collection of bags and travel essentials. I still have their first generation Travel Pack and after all this time it’s barely showing any wear. So a chance

REVIEW – In what seems like a lifetime ago, I intended to make photography/videography my business and not just a hobby. Real life kicked in, though, and I had to get a job that made more than $100 every few weeks taking the odd wedding pictures. My plans were lost to time until a few

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed or purchased several electric bikes over the past few years, and I’m starting to fully comprehend how diverse the market is these days.

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – If you’re in the market for a home projector, there are probably two key specifications you’re looking for: resolution and brightness. Many entry level projectors are 720P (or even worse), but you’re going to want at least Full HD (1080P) for any decent sized screen. If you’re going really big, then you

REVIEW – I’m always on the lookout for a good ergonomic mouse as I’m in front of my laptop 8 hours at least 5 days a week. I had been using one of those upright type mice by Logitech and it was fine. I had it for years and it finally died. So when the
