Monoprice Soundstage 3 portable speaker review – more speaker, less portable, all great!

monoprice speaker 8

REVIEW – When people discuss portable speakers today, most imagine a small Bluetooth speaker that you can clip to your backpack that you can enjoy at the beach, set your drink on top of, or maybe even accidentally knock it into the pool without damage.  That is not this speaker, which is a refreshing change.

Vosteed Gator 3.98” blade folding knife review – a beast of a knife

Vosteed Gator 01

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a few Vosteed knives so far including one of my favorite knives, the Vosteed Raccoon pocket knife, and have been impressed with each knife. I was hoping they would come out with a larger blade as most of their offerings are around the 3.25 inch length. Enter the Vosteed Gator folding

wizmaker 11

REVIEW – I have always been fascinated by the cool crafting projects I have seen for sale at various farmer’s markets and artists’ shows in the area.  I am talking about the kind of crafts where you see flat wooden ornaments with different names inside of them, etched tumblers, etched glass, and etched and cut

soocas neos 9

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Even though I brush my teeth twice a day and floss regularly, I still have problems with build-up behind my lower front teeth due to how they are crowded. This is my trouble spot and where the hygienist always spends the most time torturing, I mean cleaning. That is until I switched

Edifier WH950NB Bluetooth Active Noise Canceling headphone review – A lot of headphone for the buck

Edifier WH950NB 2

REVIEW – Four years ago (has it been four years?), I reviewed the Edifier W860NB Bluetooth Active Noise Canceling headphone. I liked those headphones but had some reservations I’ll get into later in the review. Four years later, Edifier has released the new WH950NB headphone—and boy, did they learn some things! What is it?

Nanoleaf Essentials Smart Bulb and Lightstrip review – they have what matters

nanoleaf essential lights 1

REVIEW – The gadget industry has talked for years about everyone having a smart home, but the way they’ve gone about hasn’t been very smart at all.  Every vendor has their own products, their own hubs, their own standards, and their own protocols.  This has made it difficult if not impossible for the various smart

Bitvae Water Flosser review – No parsley between YOUR teeth!

BITVAE 11

REVIEW – Just prior to the The Bitvae Water Flosser coming up for review my dentist told me to start water flossing. What timing! The concept brings back my memories of the original boxy, water flosser my Mom bought. It sat on a wall mount because there were no countertops in our house, just standalone

Eargo 7 Hearing Aid review – a definite help for those with mild to moderate hearing loss

Eargo 7 12

REVIEW – If you are hard of hearing, the years 2017 and 2022 should mean something to you. In 2017, Congress passed the “Over-the-Counter Hearing Aid Act“ and in mid-2022, the FDA finalized the rule enabling access to over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids. It took ‘em long enough. Before these historic laws, hearing aids were prescription

UGREEN USB 9-in-1 Docking Station

REVIEW – Using a computer today often requires plugging in a large number of external devices – monitors, keyboard, mouse, speakers, storage, and so many other devices to plug in and use. With laptops and smaller form-factor computers having a limited number of connections it’s important to find a quality hub or docking station to
