Bodega 12/24-volt RV Refrigerator review – Portable cooling when you need it most

Bodega R50 Fridge 28

REVIEW – I can think of plenty of situations apart from RV camping when portable refrigeration would be advantageous – power outages, a little extra ice or food storage for a family reunion, and emergency medication storage come to mind. If you need cold, Bodega’s R50 RV refrigerator is fabulous! What is it? The Bodega […]

Technaxx TX-168 Pro universal car alarm review – Portable protection for your car!

Technaxx TX 168 Pro Car Alarm 17

REVIEW – A few weeks ago, my daughter came home from work and reported a car parked adjacent to hers had been damaged and burglarized for the coins in the cup holder. She’s savvy enough to not leave anything valuable in her car, even if it’s only a few dollars in coins, but it got

REVIEW – Did you purchase an iPhone 14 Pro Max? If you answered yes, you probably need a case to protect it. Of all the case makers I have had the pleasure to review cases from, Nomad is one of the best. They recently sent me one of their newest cases, the Sport Case. And

Annke BSP001 – 360° Omni-directional Pick-up Conference Speakerphone review

Annke Speakerphone 1

REVIEW – Several months ago I returned to work full-time, but that does not mean that things returned to normal. Being in the office again after Covid looks quite different with what seems to be at least double the number of meetings, but with everyone attending from their offices or cubicles and all via Microsoft

RightOnTrek Next-Generation Backcountry Meals review – for the hungry trekker!

REVIEW – Very recently my partner has shared with me the wonderful world of hiking. I have exactly zero shame in admitting that when choosing trails, he picks the ones that have the most opportunities where we can stop and  “take in the scenery” (AKA Cat can remember how to breathe and not expire). What

Worx 20V Power Share Portable Air Pump Inflator review – this small pump does it all

worx portableairinflatorpump review 6

REVIEW – There’s not a lot worse than having to pay for air to inflate the tires on your car or bike. Not to mention finding a place that has an air pump these days. I own a portable inflator, it is nice, but it needs to be plugged into your car’s 12V outlet. That

Aspiron Canister Steam Cleaner 3

REVIEW – I jump at a review item every now and then, only to find out it’s not exactly what I thought it was. I initially thought the Aspiron Canister Steam Cleaner was a carpet shampoo/steam cleaner, but it turns out it’s not. However, I found that I really could use it. What is it?

Creality Ender 3 Max Neo 3D printer review – Max out your 3D prints with this powerful large format printer!

Ender3MaxNeo Rev 001

REVIEW – After getting bit by the 3D printing bug a few years back the desire to print larger, more complex items quickly followed. Unfortunately, the price of large format 3D printers runs pretty high, with some models costing well into the thousands. But, since I’m only interested in printing items slightly larger than possible

AGM H5 Pro smartphone review – a rugged phone that delivers great performance

AMGH5 17

REVIEW –  I’ll admit I’m a bit of a phone diva.  I get suckered into the latest and greatest phone with shocking regularity, even though at this point I think we can all admit that innovation between models is marginal and the prices of flagship phones are ridiculous.  With that in mind, I was curious
