Xencelabs Pen Tablet Medium with Quick Keys review – Maybe the best pen tablet yet

Xencelabs Pen Tablet 23

REVIEW – For those digital artists who are looking to buy a pen display, it’s easy to overlook the pen tablets that started it all—those black slates with no built-in screen that lay flat on a desk. True, display tablets are wonderful—I use one every day, but I didn’t begin my career using one. That […]

HOVSCO HovBeta 20″ Foldable Fat Tire electric bike review – a truly excellent foldable ebike

hovsco folding bike 01

REVIEW – I’ve been riding electric motorcycles and more recently ebikes for almost a decade now. I love electric bikes, especially as a way to get around town quickly and efficiently while still offering the opportunity to get a good workout when I want. We’ve been looking for a while to get a good second

Epson EcoTank ET-2400 Wireless Color Supertank Printer review – Never buy ink cartridges again!

Epson ET2400 Rev 100

REVIEW – A good printer is a standard part of most home offices. Having worked as a print professional for years though, I’ve never owned my own printer. Why spend money on a printer at home when I’ve always had access to cutting-edge printers at work? Well, now that I work in technology I’ve finally

Clip & Carry Leatherman Bitlokr, Kydex sheath, and Storage Case review – Efficacious EDC excellence!

Clip Carry Gear 45

REVIEW – My Leatherman tool is as much a part of my daily attire as my shoes. The bit kit is rarely far behind and is usually accompanied by a plethora of paraphernalia. Over the years, I’ve used many different EDC methods and was eager to have a look at a few of Clip &

XGIMI Horizon Pro 4K Video Projector review – Holy crap, that’s a nice picture!

XGIMI Horizon Pro 4K Video Projector 21 1

REVIEW – I’ve just introduced XGIMI’s Horizon Pro 4K projector to my video collection and now my favorite movie characters are jumping for joy!  It’s like watching films again for the first time! When my daughter saw the image for the first time, her response was, “Holy crap, that’s a nice picture!” I wholeheartedly agree

Imalent SR16 55000 lumen flashlight review – Annoy your whole neighborhood!

SR16 20

REVIEW – I believe that you can never have enough flashlights.   We currently own what I consider two top-end, heavy-duty flashlights. They are the Imalent DM35 and a Thrunite TN12 Pro that I have previously reviewed on The Gadgeteer. Both are great flashlights and do an awesome job of lighting up the night. However, when

HiCOZY Ice Maker review – a convenient source for extra nugget ice

hicozy ice maker 1

REVIEW – Most Friday nights we have company over to our house.  Sometimes it’s just a couple, but other times it’s an entire crew.  On those nights, the ice maker built into our fridge struggles to create enough ice for everyone to keep their sweet teas icy and their sodas cold.  Sure, we could swing

Groove Life Groove Wallet review – quickly ejects your cards with a thumb swipe!

groovelife wallet 10

REVIEW – I love minimalist wallets because I don’t typically carry a bag (I’m never going to call it a purse!) when I’m out and about. I don’t want to bulk up my pockets, so when it comes to wallets, they have to be thin but functional. The newest wallet that I’ve been testing is

Toshiba CAF-Z85US Air Purifier review – Totally silent, totally clean

Toshiba Air Purifier 3

REVIEW – If you suffer from allergies, coughing, or just feeling down during various seasons, it may be related to the air quality in your home. For reasons I haven’t figured out, our family seems to be more sensitive to our environment than we used to be. I don’t think it’s the food we eat—my

geometric 5

REVIEW – I have been searching for the perfect case since getting my new iPhone 14 Pro in October.  I used a Noreve Wallet Case I reviewed here on my iPhone 11 Pro last July.  I love having my wallet and phone all in a single carry item.  I was intrigued when the Geometric Goods

GOOLOO GTX300 Power Station review – convenient power in a tidy package

gooloo gtx300 5

REVIEW – Portable power stations are becoming increasingly popular because they are incredibly useful.  Now they are available in a number of different sizes, to meet varying needs.  Some of the larger ones are upwards of 2000 Wh, but that’s definitely not something you’d want to carry with you.  Those typically have wheels built in!

Jiccoda LE-1 Laser Engraver review – Also on the cutting edge

jiccoda le1 5

REVIEW – Laser engravers/cutters are everywhere these days.  Seems like a lot of people discovered during COVID that making unique, personalized, and custom gifts is a great way to cut costs and even, perhaps, develop a side hustle.  Like with any hobby, though, having the right tools is the difference between great gifts and owning a

EliAndElm SideSleeperPillow 9

REVIEW – I’m trying to get used to side sleeping, but it’s not easy to get into that habit! So I’ve got this fancy Eli & Elm Side Sleeper pillow to see if it helps. It’s designed to position you — and keep you — on your side at night. It’s also a premium pillow

BougeRV 100W CIGS Flexible Solar Panel review

BougeRV 100W CIGS Flexible Solar Panel 8

REVIEW – The BougeRV 100W CIGS Flexible Solar Panel is an extremely light, thin and flexible solar panel. Can a solar panel that can be fitted to curved surfaces actually continue to work? Does this very thin, less than a sixteenth of an inch thick solar panel convert sunlight to electricity as advertised?  Let’s find
