Bitvae C6 Water Dental Flosser review – An easy way to floss for floss haters like me

bitvae flosser 16

REVIEW – Food bits. Plaque. General dental slime. Eww, right? We all brush, well, most of us, but brushing only goes so far. Flossing helps get rid of these icky things in our mouths, but I hate flossing. I don’t like the *snap* of the floss as it gets between my teeth. I don’t like

Bluetti AC50B Portable Power Station review – same look, double the size and power

BLUETTI AC50B 2

REVIEW – Last December, I reviewed the newly designed Bluetti AC2A Portable Power Station. I said then that it was small, powerful, yet simple. It still is. The folks at Bluetti must be pleased with their efforts with the AC2A because they’ve released a bigger brother version—the Bluetti AC50B, a more powerful 700W larger twin

Vari Studio lamp review – Hiding in the shadows on conference calls are a thing of the past.

vari studio 8

REVIEW – For over a year now, I’ve suffered with poor lighting for my Teams calls, yet had no desire to clutter up my desk with a lamp. What intrigued me about the Studio Lamp by Vari was the thin stand and, more importantly, the ability to hide it behind my monitors and yet still

TCL TAB 10 NXTPAPER 5G Tablet review – a solid midrange 5G tablet option

TCL Tab10 5G 13

REVIEW – I’ve used a baker’s dozen or more tablets over the years (Android, ChromeOS, and iOS), everything from early touchscreens that were resistive (ugh) to the latest and greatest Apple iPad Pro. The cheaper Android tablets have almost all had issues for me ranging from minor to unusable, but the TCL TAB 10 NXTPAPER

Vosteed Mini Acorn 5 1

REVIEW – Vosteed is at it again. Recently I reviewed the Vosteed Acorn pocketknife and was very impressed by its performance and the overall package, so when Vosteed came out with the Mini Acorn pocketknife I had to give it a try and compare against its older sibling. What is it? The Vosteed Mini Acorn

Curiosity Box review – A fun subscription box for thinkers, geeks, and nerds

curiositybox 4

REVIEW – Subscription boxes for adults are typically not very exciting. There are fruit of the month, coffee of the month, etc. You get the idea. Okay, some adults might get excited by a coffee of the month subscription box, but Gadgeteers will be more excited about a box full of fun geeky things, and that’s

OUKITEL P1201 Portable Power Station review – punching above its price point

OUKITEL P1201 02

REVIEW – The portable power station market seems beyond saturated to me at this point, but companies continue to put out new models. Extra choices and competition are always good for us consumers though, right? I agreed to review the OUKITEL P1201 Portable Power Station because it would fill a missing niche in our household

puncube mech wallet 1

REVIEW – I am always on the lookout for my new favorite minimalist wallet. Unlike many women, I don’t carry a purse or large bag when I’m out running errands. Many times, I like to carry my wallet in my jeans or jacket pocket, and for that reason, I don’t want a huge George Costanza-sized
