REVIEW – In late 2020, I reviewed the Edifier TWS NB2 wireless earbuds. I said then that they looked as good as they sound. Well, it’s 2022 and Edifier has upped the game with the NeoBuds Pro true wireless stereo earbuds. Edifier wisely carried over the handsome looks of the TWS buds while upgrading almost […]

REVIEW – A cordless stick vac was not something I thought I’d ever need. We have a LIDAR-guided robot vacuum that handles the task a few times a week, a more traditional upright vacuum for deep cleaning, and an older corded hand-held vacuum for spot cleaning. So when the opportunity to review the Levoit cordless

REVIEW – Living in the middle of nowhere means that you have to be self-sufficient. While I don’t live off the grid, large storms can easily knock out my power for hours. It isn’t bad enough that I need a backup generator but I still need to be able to charge phones and lanterns while

REVIEW – The Orico AT150 outdoor portable power station. Is it weatherproof? Well, no, but it is otherwise a nice power source for multiple, simultaneous device charging or operation. And it has an AC outlet so you can use your shaver on Zoom calls while you’re camping! We review some honkin’ big power stations around here
REVIEW – No matter how many earbuds and headphones I buy or get for review, I am always intrigued by new designs and the possibility of getting something that fits my needs better than I could imagine. Each day when I walk the mile between the railroad station and my job, I am concerned that

REVIEW – Many of us are still working from home due to the pandemic. I recently retired from my day job with Cummins Inc after 34+ years, but I did WFH for 2 years and continue working full-time on The Gadgeteer. I know I sit for too long in front of a computer each day,

REVIEW – If you have ever tried to make custom shirts without a heat press, you’ll know how hard it is to get vinyl or inkjet-iron-on designs to successfully adhere. Success requires even pressure and the correct heat, which is where a device like the VEVOR Heat Press machine comes in. What is it? The

REVIEW – Drop has partnered with Axel Grell to create true wireless stereo (TWS) in-ear monitors (IEMs) that have fantastic sound characteristics. Like many TWS, these earbuds do much more than just reproduce sound, but how does it perform in these other areas? I have one to review. Read on to see what I think!

REVIEW – Is good sleep evading you? Or maybe you wish it was easier to tune out with a meditation session? Sure, there are apps with soothing sounds and coaching, but the screen attached to the device needed to select and run those apps is kinda defeating the purpose. Morphée has a very different approach

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a handful of portable (and semi-portable) power stations over the years, and there are a couple of things I look for in a good power station now: good battery-to-price ratio ($1 per watt-hour of battery capacity has been the average going rate for a few years now), an informative display that

REVIEW – “A breath of fresh air”, might just be the complement of this decade. In these years of lockdowns, face masks, and Mother Nature’s grand vengeance of pollen, I think my air purifier has become my best friend. My current air purifying unit is HUGE; because of how it processes air for big spaces,

REVIEW – Mechanical keyboards have become very popular due to their ability to be customized, but I bet you’ve not seen a mechanical keyboard like the one I’m going to show you today. Let’s take a look at the Kwumsy K2 mechanical keyboard with 12.6″ touchscreen. What is it? The Kwumsy K2 mechanical keyboard with
REVIEW – I live in the Pacific Northwest where it rains, a lot. I try to enjoy the outdoors as much as possible and if you want to listen to some music while outside with others you need a waterproof speaker. Enter the Tronsmart Trip waterproof Bluetooth speaker. Let us see if it can hold up

REVIEW – Today more than ever, security is a big deal. One way to assure you and your property are protected is by using security cameras. The security camera I was using died after 2 years of good service. So I needed a replacement. I don’t necessarily live in a bad neighborhood, but I live
