REVIEW – Last year I named the TORRAS COOLIFY Neck Air Conditioner the best thing I reviewed in 2021, and that wasn’t just my opinion – I had a lot of friends who tried it and bought one. So when Torras said they’d made some exciting changes and were launching the COOLIFY 2, I knew […]

REVIEW – A monitor calibration tool is something I’ve wanted for years, but I’ve never dropped the money on one yet. I’ve had great monitors and terrible monitors, and a spectrum of photo printers across the years as well. It’s always been a crapshoot in terms of what gets printed out versus what I edited
REVIEW – With spring finally arriving in the Pacific Northwest this year my wife wanted to start a garden in the backyard. The idea of swinging a pickaxe to break up soil all weekend did not sound fun so to save my back I jumped at the chance to review the Eveage corded electric tiller. Let’s

REVIEW – Recently my wife and I have been taking a sign language class and I noticed some lag during Zoom meetings. My house is filled with WiFi goodness and I have a 200Gb connection so I thought my router might be causing the bottleneck. Will the Gryphon AX Tri-Band Mesh router alleviate the issue?
REVIEW – The UGREEN 100W USB C Wall Charger is designed to simplify your life by ditching all those extra chargers you need to haul around for your electronics. It’s got all the right stuff: portable, 100 W power output, and four ports to plug in all the things. Does it do the job? Is
REVIEW – Think all robot vacs are the same? They certainly all seem round. Trifo’s Ollie fits that mold but had a few surprises for me through the test period, and it’s been reliable enough that it’s definitely worth a look if you’re thinking a robot vac is in your future. What is it? The

REVIEW – Have you ever noticed how some companies seem to excel making certain products—even if the general public has never herd of them? Case in point: Imalent. Ima-who? Exactly. Imalent makes flashlights—really bright flashlights. In the flashlight world (is there one?), Imalent is one of the big dogs. They make all kinds of flashlights,
REVIEW – I have now been able to test several tools from Worx and I have become a big fan. This time around I get to test a much-needed tool that will make my DIY tasks so much more flexible especially when I need to take my tools on the road. I am expecting this

REVIEW – Knives are one of the most common items included in EDC kit, so we’ve covered many of them here at The Gadgeteer, including several knives from WESN. I’ve been impressed with each of them, so I was very interested to review the WESN Samla, a modern take on a friction-folder pocket knife. Let’s

REVIEW – With the amazing advances in camera technology made in the last decade it’s now possible for aspiring videographers to create professional-level videos with little more than a smartphone and maybe a microphone and light or two. So, it’s not surprising to now see the massive camera accessories market shift toward supplying these creators

REVIEW – We moved into a new home last year and had our first pool built and finished at the end of March. We are now having 100-degree days in May and we are really beginning to enjoy that pool. Because it has been so hot, we like to spend more of our time in

REVIEW – Ergonomics! I have been fascinated by the topic since finding shoulder pain relief from moving to a fully split keyboard. The standard mouse design has been around for decades, and is the one most people are familiar with as they traditionally come packaged with their computers. Logitech is continuing to shake things up

REVIEW – I have dabbled in 3D printing but I have only used a Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) style printer where a thin filament is heated and extruded onto a platform to build up your desired object. Stereolithography (SLA) is the other side of the 3D printer coin where a UV laser or light is aimed

REVIEW – I have a lot of video meetings. Several a day. I know how important eye contact is, and it’s even more important when everyone is remote. So I tend to stare at the camera, positioned as it usually is at the top of my large monitor. But this means that I’m not looking
REVIEW – If you have gone searching for a smartwatch lately, I couldn’t blame you for being overwhelmed. Of course, there are the mainstream top-of-the-heap smartwatches with the Apple Watch, the Samsung Galaxy Watch, and the forthcoming Pixel Watch from Google, which is getting a considerable amount of buzz. And although those watches come with

REVIEW – A couple of months ago, I got to test and review the Visiontek VT7000 docking station that I have been using since. If you read that review, you would likely recall the adapters that I had to use because of my need for more USB ports. I also mentioned that the VT7000 is

adjective: Portable able to be easily carried or moved, especially because being of a lighter and smaller version than usual. Notice that when you look up the word “portable” in the dictionary, you don’t find any reference to the new Soundboks Go portable speaker. It’s true that the $700 Go speaker is a lighter and
