Keychron K1 Pro wireless mechanical keyboard – low sound, low profile

keychron k1pro 01

REVIEW – I’ve often looked for a nice keyboard that will work with my Mac. Yes, all keyboards work fine, but I prefer those with the MacOS specific keys. I also prefer the smaller tenkeyless design as they take up less room. This time, I got to try the Keychron K1 Pro mechanical keyboard. What […]

Vangoa VBU-20 Banjolele review – a whole bunch of fun at a great price!

Vangoa Banjolele 26

REVIEW – You read that right! A banjolele is exactly what it sounds like: the love child of a ukulele and a banjo. The Vangoa VBU-20 Banjolele is designed to be an entry-level instrument that you can learn on without spending a whole bunch of cash. In my opinion, it accomplishes that mission. To the

Ca’Lefrot 15 inch 80 Can Beverage Refrigerator review

Ca Lafrot Beverage Fridge 2

REVIEW – When I planned my DIY work for my new home, my own warm and inviting media entertainment area with a full-size bar was near the top of my list. Once I built the bar, I purchased a beverage fridge to occupy the space I designed for that purpose, but its performance left much

HOVSCO HovDash folding electric scooter review

hovsco hovdash 17

REVIEW – We’ve reviewed quite a few electric bikes and electric scooters here on The Gadgeteer and I’ve yet to review one myself because I don’t really have a place to ride them where I live without transporting them to another location which isn’t convenient. When I was offered the HOVSCO HovDash folding electric scooter

Gerefet Dog Grooming Kit review – very effective but somewhat cumbersome

gerefet grooming kit 1

REVIEW – For Christmas, we got a pair of toy poodles, a high-energy brother-sister pair.  Poodles don’t shed, which is great, but they do require regular grooming, usually every six weeks or so.  Groomers aren’t cheap, and I calculated that I could easily spend $1500 a year on grooming expenses alone.  I think I can

DREO ChefMaker Combi Fryer review – It’s an air fryer with super powers

dreo chefmaker 14

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – When I was contacted by DREO to see if I would like to test their ChefMaker Combi Fryer, I had to check the company name again because the DREO I know makes heaters, fans, and air purifiers. But now they also make air fryers so let’s take a look at the DREO

AOSEED X-Maker 3D Printer review – It’s ready to print right out of the box!

AOSEED XMaker Review 27

REVIEW – Interested in 3D printing but put off by how unapproachable it can seem?  The learning curve to get into 3D printing can seem steep, but it doesn’t have to be.  The X-Maker 3D printer by AOSEED has been designed around making 3D printing accessible to anyone by simplifying not only the hardware but

XTool D8 automotive smart diagnostic system review – Powerful OBD2 car care for weekend warriors and professionals!

XTool D8 89

REVIEW –  I just saw a meme with a group of people forming a queue at a suburban house with the caption, “This is what happens when your neighbors find out that you’re a mechanic.” Does this sound like you? If yes, or if you are passionate about taking care of your chariot… or many

IgniteX JS6: Modular Magnetic Car Tools review – everything but the impact wrench

ignitex js6 27

REVIEW – If you’re anything like me, you’ve got a random set of tools and gadgets in the trunk of your car/truck/SUV. Over the years my kit has ranged from full toolkits and car-DC-powered tools to an assortment of battery-powered tools and everything in between. When the offer to review the IgniteX JS6: Modular Magnetic

Vosteed Corgi Folding Knife review – an EDC knife for the discerning gentleman

Vosteed Corgi 01

REVIEW – If you like knives but haven’t heard of Vosteed yet you are going to be glad you read this. I’ve reviewed a few of their impressive knives so far including the Vosteed Racoon folding knife. So when they asked me to review their new knife named after another furry animal how could I say

Heybike Tyson electric bike review – batteries and a whole lotta fun included

heybike tyson 8

REVIEW – Electric bikes are most definitely popular right now.  We get submittals for electric bike reviews all the time.  I’ve reviewed one in the past and when given the opportunity,  I was more than happy to get my hands on the Heybike Tyson. It’s smaller than the other bike I reviewed but still beefy

EcoFlow Whole Home Backup Power Solution review – The ultimate off-grid solution

EcoFLow WHole House Backup System 5

REVIEW – Do you remember Hurricane, Sandy? If you lived anywhere that experienced that incredible storm, I am sure that you do. At that time, I was living in an apartment in Queens, NY and I was without electricity for 14 days. 14 days of darkness and extreme cold because the building maintenance had to

Ganiza 5-in-1 Hand Blender review – one package, four appliances

ganiza blender 1

REVIEW – When it comes to serious blending of ingredients in our kitchen, there’s no doubt that our Blendtec blender is the tool of choice.  There’s no blending task that it can’t handle.  Some recipes, however, don’t really require that kind of power, and it would be handy to have a smaller, hand blender available.

Bestqool Pro100 red light therapy device review

bestqool pro100 8

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed several red light therapy devices from a laser helmet that claimed to restore thinning hair (it didn’t for me) to an infrared wrap that claimed to help with sore joints (again, it didn’t really help me). So with that track record in mind, why did I agree to review the Bestqool

Troubadour Embark Duffle Bag review – when ordinary is not good enough

troubadour embark 16

REVIEW – When I travel, I already have a couple good suitcases to carry what I need.  Sometimes, however, they are too much space—think overnight trip—and at other times they are not quite enough, like when I travel to a conference for the week.  For times like these, a good duffle bag is exactly what
