REVIEW – Ever since I got to rent one of the electric two-wheeled scooters in downtown San Antonio, I have always wanted to have a scooter. It is so much fun to zip around on those things. In the past year or so, the amount of electric scooters that have shown up on the market […]

REVIEW – If you’re anything like me, you’re sick of the process of putting up and taking down seasonal house lighting. Multiple times I’ve climbed the 20-foot ladder to install lights in the snow and ice in December, then procrastinated taking them down until at least July or August, at which point I say “might
Govee Permanent Outdoor Lights review – never climb that ladder again Read More
REVIEW – Frequently indulging in a diet full of candy bars, chips, pizza, cake, cookies, etc. will obviously impact your waistline, but have you ever wondered how foods impact other areas of your health, like your blood sugar?

REVIEW – Way back in 2019, I reviewed the Theragun G3Pro percussive massager. Since then, it has become a regular part of my ache and pain relief process. I still use it regularly and am glad I have it. Since we are retired, we travel a lot. The Theragun never comes with because it is

REVIEW – I’ve tried several wireless microphone systems with my phone and camera. However, there was always something about them that I didn’t like.

REVIEW – We’ve all seen kids of all ages (including myself) scooting around on a variety of kick scooters for a number of reasons: they’re fun, it’s easier and faster than walking, and … did I already say they’re fun? While our own child is still too small to scoot, I have a roster of

REVIEW – Having a tripod for your video camera is just another tool in the proverbial toolbox for filmmakers and videographers alike. But not all tripods are made alike. The SmallRig SmallRig FreeBlazer Heavy-Duty Carbon Fiber Tripod Kit is one that is worth checking out. If you have used a standard video tripod before then the

REVIEW – Earlier this year I reviewed the VIOFO A139 Pro dashcam; I was happy with it when I reviewed it, and I’m still happy with it now. VIOFO has upgraded their introductory model, the A119, with several new features.  I installed the A139 in my wife’s car, a Honda CR-V, so I’m planning to

REVIEW – In 2018 I reviewed an Airdog X5 air purifier and absolutely loved it due to the fact that it didn’t require the purchase of new filters every 6 months or so like many other air purifiers on the market. The Airdog allowed you to wash the main filter and it worked great until

REVIEW – Last year I reviewed Vosteed Nightshade knife, an everyday carry pocketknife, and it instantly became my favorite EDC. Since that time, Vosteed has released three variations of this knife, so I’m back to provide an update. What is it? The Vosteed Nightshade is an everyday carry pocketknife with a distinctive leaf-shaped blade. It

REVIEW – I have suffered from Plantar Fascitis for many years and I have worn special shoes designed to provide relief for probably 15 years. Several years ago I even received steroid shots in my heel. One thing that I have found that provides good relief after a long day on my feet is a

REVIEW – Did you ever ride a scooter as a kid? Balancing on one leg while kicking with the other to make yourself fly down the sidewalk was a lot of fun and good exercise. Now imagine that scooter has an electric motor and can go up to 19 miles per hour. That’s what Hiboy

REVIEW – If you told me in 2004 that in a few short years there would exist PCs (and Macs of course) that would be the size of a small stack of CDs, I would have rolled my eyes at you. My latest gaming PC then was the size of a small refrigerator, and laptops

REVIEW – I’ve been using Mobvoi’s TicWatch C2+ for the last few years and really enjoying it, but I’ve been thinking about an upgrade.

REVIEW – I previously reviewed the Naenka Runner Diver bone conduction swimming headphones and really liked them so when Naenka offered their new Runner Neo headphones for me to try I couldn’t say no.

REVIEW – I’ve been having a lot of fun reviewing mechanical keyboards this year and although I see no end in sight for new keyboard reviews, I have to say that I may have already found my favorite. Not to let the cat out of the bag with this review in the first two sentences,
REVIEW – I’ve been working from home for over ten years now, and somehow, I still have a lot of meetings online. At my company, we use Microsoft Teams and Slack for our calls, so I need a headset with a microphone that allows me to hear and be heard clearly by my co-workers. For

REVIEW – We review quite a few projectors here at The Gadgeteer, and they’ve sure come a long way in the last few years. Portable and small projectors especially have often been either very dim or low resolution (or both), but the XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro 1080P Portable Projector looks to be neither of those

REVIEW – With climate change and car-choked city traffic dominating the news, moving to a bike has never been more in the public consciousness. While I’ve been a biking advocate for years, I’ve never owned an eBike. I finally was given one, the KBO Flip, to review, and I have thoughts. These are shared below.

REVIEW – Although our kids are grown and gone, we often have families with kids over to our house. I thought it would be cool to have a building brick set or two available for them play with while they are here. In this review, I’m looking at the JMBricklayer Chameleon set to see if
