Reencle Prime electric composter review – Make this year’s garden amazing!

reenecle prime 100

REVIEW—Growing your own food and flowers can be fun and fulfilling. My better half has been gardening since she was born. I am just the “hired” help. When the Reencle Prime electric composter was offered for review, I thought it might make me a gardening hero for the upcoming growing season, so I accepted it. […]

SoundPeats Pop Clip earbuds review – Comfortable and secure earbuds!

SoundPeats Pop Clip Earbuds 11 e1742015820675

REVIEW – Recently I had the opportunity to review SoundPeats PearlClip Pro earbuds and I was pleasantly surprised by the open air format and design. I hadn’t tried them before and initially thought they looked a bit odd. Oddity aside, trying new gadgets is always fun, so I gave them a shot and was pleasantly

Miko 3: The AI-Powered Learning Robot review – a small tablet dressed as a robot

MIKO 3 ROBOT 11

REVIEW – I grew up hearing the Benjamin Franklin saying “…in this world nothing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes.”. I would propose an updated version for our modern era: “…except death, taxes, and using ‘AI’ in every tech product imaginable”. Here at the Gadgeteer, we’re a “No-AI in our reviews”

AUXITO Portable Auto Jump Starter with Dual-Panel LED review

Auxito Jump Starter 16

REVIEW – I remember the days when all I had were used cars that would often break down at the most inconvenient times. On many occasions, it was because of a less than optimal battery losing its charge while parked somewhere. I can remember waiting at the side of the road with jumper cables, hoping

HTVRONT Manual Hat Heat Press review – Hats, hot off the press

HMHP 01

REVIEW – If you’ve ever found yourself thinking, I’d could put that slogan on a hat and sell a few hundred easy… then this might be the post you’ve been waiting for. HTVRONT is taking presale orders on their new Manual Hat Heat Press, and it’s easy enough to use that they should probably just

Fourteen Homes Stainless Steel Egg Whisk review – definitely better than a fork

14homes whisk 1

REVIEW – I eat scrambled eggs at least once a week, and I often have hot chocolate in the winter months. I have used a battery-powered frother to do my mixing, but it’s always frustrating when the battery dies. First world problems deserve a solution too, and today I want to tell you about the

Plugable USB Type-C Power Delivery 10-port priority charger review – Look at all the pretty lights!

Plugable 10 port charger 8

REVIEW – These days it is almost impossible to get anything done on a computer without the use of some sort of dock, or dongle, or charging port.  So many things need to be plugged in.  So many things use up those precious ports.  And that’s where Plugable USB Type-C Power Delivery 10-port Priority Charger

Catalyst Waterproof iPhone case review – Ultimate protection

CatalystTotal 6

REVIEW – Normally, when folks are looking for a phone case, it’s just for the basics: corner protection in case of a gravity incident, maybe a little lip to prevent scratches when placing face-down on a table, nice grippy sides and/or back to keep it from skittering across the dashboard in that swerve to avoid

Gerber MiniSada 3.13″ folding knife review – a budget blade under $50

Gerber MiniSada 01 e1741665080267

REVIEW – Hi, my name is Zack and I have a knife problem although I’d prefer to call myself a knife aficionado. I just reviewed the very expensive Benchmade Bugout 535-09 and of course it’s hard not to love a knife of that quality but sometimes you just need something cheap but reliable. The original

Q Golf Q Gen 2 adjustable golf club review – One club to rule them all

qgolf qclubgen2 8

REVIEW – I like to golf. I enjoy traveling. But…golfing when traveling? A pain. Why? Either I am adding to my travel baggage, schlepping a heavy golf bag (plus a travel case) through an airport, or paying through the nose to rent questionable clubs at the golf course. Neither one is a great option. Enter

Master & Dynamic ME05 Earphones review – Back to the Future

Master Dynamic ME 05 16

REVIEW – Have you ever heard the saying “You must go back to move forward”? Nah, me neither. However, that bit of sage advice might apply to the “new” Master & Dynamic ME05 wired earphones. These little gems hark back to the time when most wireless earphones were either too meh-sounding, too expensive, or both.

Rocketbook Reusable Sticky Notes review

Rocketbook StickyNotes 3

REVIEW –  In today’s digital age, I find myself frequently using my computer, phone, or tablet for note-taking and information storage. While I have made a conscious effort to transition away from physical paperwork, there are instances when I require quick note-taking of essential information, such as phone numbers or confirmation codes. Usually, I would

Arcade Motion Belt review – a great belt for work and play

Arcade Motion 20 e1741664913115

REVIEW – I previously reviewed the Arcade A2 Stretch belt and their National Geographic 1888 and both perform great although the Nat Geo belt buckle is a little too wide for some of my pants. The new Arcade Motion levels up your everyday look with a sleeker more refined look. ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $54.95

Infinicore T3 Pro 3-in-1 Qi2 charging stand review – One charger to rule them all?

Infinacore T3 3

REVIEW – The curse of having technology that you carry around everywhere is that you eventually have to park it somewhere to charge it. (Well, unless you want to also carry a battery pack around! Hey, no judgment! I’ve been that guy.) If you have a desk, table, or nightstand where you sit your devices

Benchmade Adira knife review – Sitting on the dock of the bay in Magnacut, baby!

benchmade adira 10

REVIEW – I have wanted a Benchmade knife forever! I’ve never had one.  I’ve only ever gotten my hands on them in stores specializing in outdoor sports. So when The Head Gadgeteer In Charge told us there were a couple of offers to review them, I jumped as high as my 51-year-old body could muster

Fanttik T1 Max cordless soldering iron review – Freedom to fix

Fanttik T1 Max 01

REVIEW – I’ve been soldering electronics since the 3rd grade. It’s safe to say I’ve had my share of soldering irons over the years. A truly portable, cordless iron has been somewhat elusive. I’ve tried butane-fueled, AA-battery powered, and ones that take power tool batteries. I’ve just come across one that gives them all some

DwarfLab DWARF 3 smart telescope review – Astrophotography made easier

dwarflab dwarf3 13

REVIEW – I’ve always had a mild fascination with astronomy, but my interest grew significantly after last year’s total solar eclipse. Capturing images with my iPhone during the eclipse’s totality made me curious about what it would be like to use an actual telescope. Although I’ll have to wait for the total solar eclipse in
