botslab s8plus 7

REVIEW – My wife got us a robot vacuum cleaner a couple of years ago. It was our first, so we didn’t want to spend a ton of money on it. It was fine.  It did its job ok. I mean, it did help put a huge dent into cleaning up the fur and dirt

Thankfully many of those devices use USB-C connectors and there are lots of adapters available but wouldn’t it be nice if you could connect multiple external devices at once? Satechi has a solution for that in their USB-C Mobile Pro Hub SD. What is

dyad 15

REVIEW – As I mentioned in my Tineco Floor One S5 review, I have about 1800 square feet of hard surfaces to clean in my home. I am fortunate to have a Roborock S7 MaxV that vacuums and mops my entire house several days a week.  I got that robot vacuum after reading Julie’s Roborock

ZMQA 01

REVIEW – Have you ever been in the middle of an epic VR session and had your session rudely interrupted by a dead battery? The only thing worse is being excited to get in there and have the system dead before you can begin. Super frustrating to be sure. Today we have two accessories from

Bob and Brad leg compression massager with heat review – putting the squeeze on achy legs

bobandbrad massager 16 e1673725247988

REVIEW – Tired and achy legs.  When you’re active, they come with the territory.  When you’re old and active, the territory seems to get much larger.  If only I had a masseuse on standby that could come over at a moment’s notice to give me a nice foot/calve/thigh compression massage.  Hey – even better, if

Vokboard Riot Electric Skateboard review – Instant fun and big grins

VRES 01

REVIEW – I grew up skateboarding and loved bombing down hills. Stopping was accomplished by… dragging one foot as a brake, a power slide (if you could control it), running off the front (trying to keep your feet under yourself), or unceremoniously hitting a small stone or crack and having the ground come up at
