REVIEW – I’m not typically one to jump at a review offer for an essential oil diffuser, but the Airthereal Ultrasonic Flame Diffuser had a few things going for it which piqued my interest. Design, ambiance, and mist output made this a contender for a spot in my home office – but will it stay? […]

REVIEW – One more game! That seems to be the cry of every video gamer, especially when we’re on a roll. Unfortunately, long bouts of gaming tend to go hand-in-hand with slouching, hunching, and other types of bad posture, and if we’re not careful, the end result can be a variety of health risks. Wouldn’t it
REVIEW – Call me a barbarian, but I don’t have the water and ice thing in the door of my fridge. It was a conscious decision based on the fact that I’d much rather have another cubic foot of freezer space than have ice on demand. My family has adjusted to our primitive living arrangements,

REVIEW – I’ve already got one EV parked in the garage. I enjoy the convenience of charging at home and the thrill of strong acceleration. This time I’m scaling much smaller with the Atomi Alpha Electric Scooter. My EV fleet has now increased by one. What is it? The Atomi Alpha is a sleek lithium-ion

REVIEW – Can the Hollywood Racks RV Rider EBike Rack accommodate two completely different styles of EBikes both of which have fenders? Is this bike rack restricted to only being limited to use with an RV? What trade-offs have been made in this bike rack compared to other bike racks? Read on to see how

REVIEW – Looking for a leather bag on a budget? I’m testing the Anuent 13″ Leather Messenger Bag. This little guy is just the right size for essential tech, has a bunch of character, and costs less than 60 bucks! It looks like a bargain… but does it stand up to testing? To the review!

REVIEW – From the first time I tried a network device from EnGenius, I was hooked on their products. Even as recently as several weeks ago, I tested and reviewed one of their business Access Points, which is now providing very fast internet connectivity for my basement. I have several network switches within my home

REVIEW – Where I live in California, the threat of power outage due to earthquakes, wildfires, or heat emergencies is very real. Is there a non-gas generator that can step up to the task? We’re talking far beyond charging up smartphones or tablets. What about higher-draw appliances? I put the Zendure Superbase Pro 2000 Power

REVIEW – We have all noticed that our portable screens have been getting slimmer. Part of this is the removal of optical and floppy drives and part is due to fewer ports, which tend to need more device thickness to support properly. Most of us only need our main screen, maybe a phone, and some
REVIEW – More and more of the electronic products in our house are becoming smartified (I’m pretty sure that’s the technical term). What started as a dabbling with a couple of WiFi-controllable lights years ago has become an epidemic at our house with doorbells, lights, coffee makers, speakers, air fryers, and more available to control

REVIEW – As I continue to work on testing and reviewing products, I have found that videos add a lot of value to the review and to the interest of readers. A great tool for recording on the go and for adding interest and flexibility is a gimbal. Over the years I have tested a

REVIEW – Ever since I had my first banana seat with a flower basket on the front bicycle, I have always loved to ride bikes. After I graduated from college, I got my first real road bicycle, a Specialized Allez Comp. I rode that bike on several MS 150 rides and made some lifelong friends
REVIEW – I’m a big fan of multi-device chargers. I use one by the side of my bed every night to charge my iPhone and Apple Watch. I also use one at work when I need to charge my iPad, Android tablet, and Android phone to keep them up and running. I’ve never had a
REVIEW – As I mentioned in one of my recent video Gadgeteer video podcast episodes, I’m on a quest to find a great mechanical keyboard. That means you’ll be seeing some reviews from me in the future weeks and months to come. The latest mechanical keyboard that my fingers have been dancing across is the

REVIEW – I spend a lot away time away from home either at work or at times internationally. I often have to access resources that I am authorized to access, but unable to because of the foreign/unknown IP that I am connected with because I am away from home or out of the country. I

REVIEW –It’s gift-giving season and while I don’t want to oversell it, one of the best gifts I think you could give to your loved one is one less thing to do. What if you could give your significant other something that basically takes all the thinking out of cooking? Like you just toss groceries

REVIEW – Since I started testing and reviewing gadgets for the Gadgeteer, I have been able to enjoy several different sizes, brands, and types of portable Bluetooth speakers with various capabilities. I could possibly be referred to as some sort of collector since I still have and play off of them at one time or

REVIEW – Are you still charging your on-person devices with individual cables? I hope not as there are a lot of multiple device options out there to solve that exact problem. If you’ve got a recent phone, an Apple Watch and some wireless charging earbuds then Zens has a solution right up your alley. I’ve
REVIEW – I know, I know… There’s a flashlight in your phone and that’s great, but admit it, there are plenty of times it just can’t cut the mustard and you need a real flashlight. If you are looking for bright, compact, and rechargeable, the Thrunite T1 just might find a happy place in your
REVIEW – In my quest to make the iPad into a laptop (and desktop replacement), I have been on the look out interesting accessories that can help me with this task. When the people at Benks offered to send me their Infinity Pro Magnetic iPad Stand, I didn’t hesitate to accept the offer. Let’s take
