WORX SPRAYER 22

REVIEW – The Worx Nitro 20V Cordless Paint Sprayer beats the heck out of brush painting in certain applications. The timing was perfect to review the Worx Nitro Paint Sprayer.

Platin Monaco 13

REVIEW – Here’s a scenario for you: For years, I’ve had a DIY surround speaker setup connected to our smart TV through a good receiver.

collabospace hurdlehanger2 8

REVIEW – Clothes, closets, hangers.  We all have them.  We all use them.  There’s no rocket science here.  But then, back in 2017, South Korean company Collabo Space decided that they would build the proverbial better mousetrap and came up with Boomerang Hanger – an improvement on the traditional hanger design.  Then, in 2018, they

exovacs deebotx1omni 35

REVIEW – I’ve mentioned before that my goal is to get robots to do my bidding before the machines become self-aware and go all Terminator on us.  I’m both happy and terrified to report that we are one step closer to that day with the new X1 OMNI cleaning robot from Ecovacs.  Let’s check it out.

Levana Oma Sense Baby Movement Monitor review – Sleep like a baby knowing your baby is too!

Levana Rev 120

REVIEW – New parents have so much to worry about these days, from getting proper formula to deciding on whether or not to get their baby vaccinated against COVID-19. Along with these new concerns come old standbys like is that rash normal, why hasn’t he/she pooped today, and is the baby sleeping safely? Technology might

isinwheel i9pro 10

REVIEW – We recently completed a 5.5-month world cruise with a couple of extensions in the Baltic.  One thing that stood out to us in Europe, and especially the Scandinavian countries, was the huge number of bicycles and scooters – electric scooters.  Most were the rental variety, like Lime and others, but wow – scooters

buydeem 3qt dutch oven 1

REVIEW – Like most young couples, my wife and I started our marriage with a cheap set of pots and pans. They got the job done, but they didn’t last forever. As we began to look for better quality cookware, and we eventually discovered cast iron. Over the years we’ve purchased a handful of cast
