REVIEW – I’ve got a big trip to Europe planned this summer and anyone who’s been there knows you need to get your plug and power adapters sorted out because Europe has all kinds of wacky plugs! In preparation, I’m testing out the UGREEN 65W USB C charger and power adapter. I’m always surprised by […]

REVIEW – Even though it is the dead of winter here in the Houston area, there are still so many beautiful days in which to enjoy our (relatively) new back patio. We have a little work to do to finish (like putting in a fire table), but at the absolute top of our list was

REVIEW – Tired and achy legs. When you’re active, they come with the territory. When you’re old and active, the territory seems to get much larger. If only I had a masseuse on standby that could come over at a moment’s notice to give me a nice foot/calve/thigh compression massage. Hey – even better, if

REVIEW – I grew up skateboarding and loved bombing down hills. Stopping was accomplished by… dragging one foot as a brake, a power slide (if you could control it), running off the front (trying to keep your feet under yourself), or unceremoniously hitting a small stone or crack and having the ground come up at

REVIEW – I prefer headphones that hook over my ear since in-ear headphones never seem to fit me quite right but mainly so I can keep them loose which allows me to still hear the outside world. I like to remain aware of my surroundings when running or biking outside so I was very curious how

REVIEW – I’m a watch guy. I have a collection of wonderful (and expensive) watches. There are times when you want to wear a great-looking watch but not an expensive one. Today’s review fits that bill – the Hnatuy Hero-X watch from Didamoda. I’ve reviewed several watches here at The Gadgeteer. Of all those, this

REVIEW – My main form of entertainment these days is YouTube videos. I like knife reviews and teardowns, old tool restorations, and gadgets of all kinds. Hats off to all of you folks who do make the videos I watch. It’s not nearly as easy as it looks. Because of that, I want to start

REVIEW – One way to stay healthy and enjoy the great outdoors is to go trail biking. Sometimes, however, we need a little help, whether it’s climbing a steep hill or finishing that last extra mile. The perfect bike for trips like this is a fat tire eBike, and I’m hoping that the VANPOWERS Manidae

REVIEW – While I love wireless charging, wired charging is faster and more efficient. And larger devices don’t usually have wireless charging options. I posted a news item about this unit as soon as I saw it because it scratches an itch for me. I like to be able to go anywhere and have the
REVIEW – Lightheaded? Unexplained headache? Feeling nauseous? Irritable? Tired? Sure, it could be the leftover taco you had for lunch, but it might be because the carbon dioxide levels in the room are high. Want to find out? If yes, have a look at Kaiweet’s EH-8 Carbon Dioxide Detector. What is it? The Kaiweets EH-8

REVIEW – Sound mixers are an old idea, but digital technologies have made them both smaller and less expensive. Synido has just released two new mixers for personal use: the LiveMix solo and the LiveMix duet. The Solo has a single XLR mic input and a single instrument input, whereas the Duet has two XLR
REVIEW – What’s better than a comfortable gaming or office chair? One that can give you a massage while sitting in it! When I sit too long I start to have lower back pain so when Osim asked me to review their uThrone Massaging Gaming Chair I jumped (or rather sat) at the chance to

REVIEW – 6 months ago, I packed up my wonderful Bowers & Wilkins 607 speakers I used for music and TV sound ( along with a subwoofer and two Audioengine speakers for surround) and replaced them with the Platin Monaco 5.1 wireless surround sound speaker system. The Monaco 5.1 is a complete surround sound system—in
REVIEW – Because gallium nitride (GaN) has greater energy efficiency and power density than silicon, it has permitted smaller, higher capacity power adapters than had been previously possible. I have a Unitek GaN charger that supplies a total of 90W out of 4 ports or 100W out of one. Read on to see what I think!
