xTool P2S 55W Desktop CO2 Laser Cutter review – A laser cutting and engraving dream machine

xtool p2s55wdesktoplasercutter review 1

REVIEW – I was bitten badly by the laser engraving bug when I reviewed my first laser engraver, the LaserPecker LP5. It’s a great portable machine, as I said in my review. However, the more I used it, the more I wanted something larger. The xTool P2S is such a machine. I recently got my […]

SwitchBot K10 Pro Vacuum Combo 32

REVIEW – I reviewed SwitchBot’s K10+ small but powerful robot vacuum here and love it! It’s outstanding at navigating small spaces, under chairs, and into corners that are a galaxy far, far away from larger models. SwitchBot’s engineers have added a cordless stick vacuum to the package for a better cleaning experience. Amazing! What is

AMZChef Cold Press Juicer review – Is the juice worth the squeeze?

IMG 9802

REVIEW – Juicing (in the sense of extracting juice from fruits and vegetables, not in the sense of being “juiced” or under the influence) is a popular health practice for many. Since we never lived in an area where typically juiced fruits were abundant growing up, my mom always got concentrated orange juice in a

ACMER P3 IR&Diode Enclosed Dual Laser Engraver review – a powerful, versatile, safe, and easy to use laser engraver!

acmer p3 laser engraver 11

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a couple of laser cutter/engravers so far, but I haven’t had the chance to review an IR laser yet. Infrared lasers open up engraving and cutting with a range of new materials like metal and stone that diode lasers can’t handle, at a lower cost than most CO2 laser cutter/engravers. I

Redodo 12V 140Ah Bluetooth Lithium Battery with 150A BMS review

Redodo Bluetooth Lithium Battery 1

REVIEW – As I continue to build and remodel my garage, I am trying to think about the design including what devices and capabilities I need and can fit in the relatively small space. The design must include power options for 12V vehicles and those options must be mobile, powerful, capable, and flexible. Enter the

apexel 120x lens 20

REVIEW – I have been interested in macro photography since I was a kid and my dad won a photo contest for a close-up picture of a dandelion flower. My own macro photography is now done on products for my reviews. But I still enjoy trying to capture extreme close-up shots of flowers and nature.

KAMRUI E3B Mini PC review – Great little form-factor PC!

KAMRUI E3B Mini PC 9 scaled e1734221066922

REVIEW – Small form factor PCs have been around for years and have become more and more powerful as technology has continued to advance. Recently, I’ve been looking for a spare computer to use with my 3D printer and a laser engraver that have a fixed location. Up until now I’ve been using a laptop,

Marchpower 2-in-1 cordless water flosser review – Quickly removes the gunk from between teeth

marchpower 2in1flosser 1

REVIEW – Do you have to use dental floss? Maybe you have really crowded teeth and have problems getting the floss between your teeth. Maybe you’re lazy and think that brushing is enough. First of all, brushing alone is great, but not flossing shouldn’t be an option. Leaving food between your teeth that the brush

Nank Runner Diver2 Pro bone conduction headphones review

NankRunnerDiver2Pro 4

REVIEW – Most hearing folks, at some time or other, want to listen to content privately, whether it’s due to the personal nature of the audio, or to avoid irritating others. Earbuds and headphones tend to filter out the rest of the world, some even creating anti-noise to cancel out unwanted sounds. But what if

Case Black Carbon Fiber Weave CT2 Hunter knife review – A phenomenal little EDC fixed blade

case taylor 1

REVIEW – I’m typically a folding pocket knife kind of guy. It’s not that I don’t like fixed blades. I love them too, but I never found one I could conveniently carry all the time. Most of the time the fixed blades are too big or the sheath is bulky and uncomfortable. But, I watch

Ultimea Poseidon D80 Dolby Atmos 7.1 surround sound system review – Simple setup small speaker surround sound! Slick!

Ultimea Poseidon D80 7 1 surround sound system 11

REVIEW—Home theater surround sound has been around since 1992, but I’ve been reluctant to put it in my living room. It’s not that I didn’t want it, but I didn’t want to route the speaker wires through the floor or attic. Ultimea solves that problem with a wirelessly connected subwoofer and surround speakers with its

WeCreat Vista laser engraver review – The compact and capable craft laser engraver

WC Vista 001

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed quite a few lasers, but never one from WeCreat. When the review offer came along, I thought it would be a good time to review a laser that was a bit different than the ones I previously reviewed. The WeCreat Vista had a few unique features, so I was all about
