REVIEW – I remember buying my first Light Emitting Diodes from Radio Shack in the 70s. They were anemic red and a pair was $1.99. In 2023 dollars, that would be over $9. Now for about $90 ($15 each), Rollin Light sells a six-pack of room-filling LED lights! How do they work? Let’s have […]

REVIEW – I’m getting a little long in the tooth. Enough so that whenever I do yard work, my back hurts. It’s from doing stupid things in my youth that I’d rather not comment on. I’ve tried rubs, ointments, salves, patches, you name it. So, when the Sportneer Elite D9 percussive massage gun came up
REVIEW – They say you should never buy groceries when you are hungry. I’m not sure the same when reviewing items, but it didn’t hurt. This time I get to make lunch with the VEVOR Commercial Sandwich Panini Press Grill. What is it? This panini press is equipped with a cast iron grill covered in

REVIEW – Sometimes it’s fun to kick it old school by listening to FM radio. I do this whenever I’m in my car, but when I’m home I can use a device like the MUZEN AUDIO OTR Metal Bluetooth speaker which has a built-in FM radio. Let’s tune in to a local station and take
REVIEW – Mmmmmmm smoked chicken! I love to make smoked meats on my pellet grill. A whole chicken was one of the first things I ever made on it. It is a cheaper piece of meat compared to brisket, so I figured if I messed it up, it would not cost me as much. The

REVIEW – Do you like gold? Do you appreciate good audio quality? Are you discerning when it comes to product design? If you say yes to these questions, there may be a speaker made just for you.

REVIEW – This is a smart bird feeder from Birdkiss. My plan was to document assembly and setup and then take it to the other side of the country and install it at my mom’s since she loves birds. That plan went out the window when I started using it. The birds showed up and
REVIEW – Since I returned to work after the height of the Covid pandemic, I have spent my days locked in my office working at my computer and attending all meetings virtually.

REVIEW – As an 80’s child I can’t help but be a little jealous of the toys on the market now. Especially any toys that require batteries since battery technology has improved so much since then. So when the Bezgar HP161S Brushless 1:16 Scale Radio Control Car came up for review the little kid in

REVIEW – How do you create a perfect EDC flashlight? The list of items I would want include a decently bright main light, several other intensity levels, small size, light weight, and durability. If we could throw in rechargeability rather than needing batteries and good battery life, that would be a big plus. And, besides
