REVIEW – There are now enough wet/dry vacuum cleaners available today that you can decide which one to choose based solely on how it will be used. Case in point: The iLife W90 Cordless Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner and Mop. This handy wet/dry vacuum suits apartments or smaller homes best. What is it? The iLife […]

REVIEW – The main level of my house gets chilly. It has a sunroom that’s beautiful but not terribly insulating, and hard floors that get cold. My husband’s office is in the adjoining living room, and he keeps a space heater under his desk just to make it bearable. When the TURBRO Inflame electric fireplace came

REVIEW – As you can probably imagine, a lot of packages get delivered to Gadgeteer HQ (aka my house). That means I need to open those packages which requires a knife. I have a handy dandy utility knife that works great, but is there a better/safer alternative to an ultra-sharp box cutter? Slice offered to

REVIEW – Portable power is a great thing. You can use these portable power stations to keep your portable electronics running at the beach, at a party, well, you get the idea. But…what powers the power station? What happens when that runs out of electrons? If you’re out camping and burn through your electronics battery

REVIEW – Having just invested way too much money in a new vehicle, I am a bit anxious about any harm coming to it. To help alleviate my anxiety, I started looking for a dashcam that could record what happens while I am on the road but also remain unobtrusive and protect my precious gas

REVIEW – Growing up, I had a few different construction toy sets. My favorite was, of course, my Legos. I always enjoyed them but over the years, my interests changed and I moved away from building things. Then along came my triplets and their younger brother. Over several birthdays, they acquired a few smaller Lego

REVIEW – A well-organized garage (or shed) is a beautiful thing. This year’s spring cleaning included a new addition: the Garden Tool Organizer from My Thing Logic. This rack is designed to onboard all of your outdoor tools and gadgets, and it’s got wheels to zip around the yard! Does it fulfill my journey to

REVIEW – Aren’t all pocket knives the same? If the only reason you need a knife is to open that never-ending stream of boxes from Amazon, then sure, any everyday carry (EDC) pocket knife will do the trick. It may, however, surprise you to know that pocket knives come in a wide variety of styles

REVIEW – Once MagSafe came around, I embraced it fully, getting a MagSafe case and finally truly embracing the Wireless charging craze. One thing I had yet to upgrade, however, was the phone mount in my car, as I desired to, but just couldn’t find one that I felt comfortable spending my money on. The

REVIEW – It has been a long time since I last reviewed any earbuds. If you read my previous reviews, you know that I like to review earbuds that have a similar design to my Apple AirPods. When I saw the Kaja Audio Go-To’s earbuds, I decided to test and review them to see how

REVIEW – Getting a good night’s rest after a day of hiking or biking to your campsite is critical to recovering for the next day. Sleeping pads and air mattresses help keep us comfortable, but inflating and deflating them can be a chore. The Tiny Pump 2x by Flextail is purpose-built to be a small,

REVIEW – Recently there have been some security issues with gadgets containing cameras, including Roomba robotic vacuum cleaners, where pictures taken in the privacy of the home wound up in public places. In light of these issues, I’ve decided to replace the Yeedi vac 2 pro robot vacuum that we are currently using, as it

REVIEW – I have a weird relationship with the iPad. I buy one, don’t use it, sell it, buy another, rarely use it, sell it… you get the idea. Right now I have the 2022 11-inch iPad Pro which I’ve been using to read books, and comics, and even draw (redraw) one of my own

REVIEW – Like many other products, the projector world can be sorted into tiers based on performance and functionality. At the bottom of the group are the cheap, dim, hard-to-focus low definition models that might not even include any smart functionality. I’d class the next group into a mid-tier, where most have much better optical

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – I’ve been reviewing quite a few mechanical keyboards lately because I’m on a personal quest to find the perfect one for my computer setup/workflow. The newest mechanical keyboard that I’m testing is the Whatgeek x 3inuS Kebohub EE01 mechanical keyboard which is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter. This is no ordinary keyboard

REVIEW – Every time we get a power bill, our carrier makes a point of showing us that we are using way, way more energy than our neighbors. While we try to be conscious of our power usage by using energy-efficient appliances and turning off lights we’re not using, it still makes us feel bad.

REVIEW – If you have ever watched your wedding ring in slow motion roll down your sink drain you probably wished you had a borescope to get it out without taking the plumbing apart. Enter the Depstech DS580 Dual Lens 5.0MP Borescope with 5” Display to save the day. Let’s see what it can do. What

REVIEW – Living in the suburbs of NY is a nice life, but it is not one to take for granted. Many folks believe that the further into the suburbs they move, the less crime exists. I believe that crime occurs everywhere, and unless specifically targeted, setting up cameras and security lights creates a visible

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed quite a few power stations with the Gadgeteer so far, and I have my own list of what I like to see on my ideal power station: ETA to full/empty while in use, LiFePO4 battery chemistry, enough AC/USB/DC options to charge the various things I need to charge on the go
Powdeom 700 Watt Portable Power Station review – charge pretty much anything on the go Read More
