REVIEW – A multicooker is an appliance that has many of the cooking capabilities of other appliances, which means it can perform a variety of functions, like boiling, frying, stewing, baking, and steaming. This should allow someone with limited kitchen space to replace several single-function appliances, like a slow cooker, a steamer, an air fryer,

REVIEW – As the mother of a teenager I can tell you that gift giving this holiday season is getting trickier and trickier. I’m always on the lookout for a clever gift or stocking stuffer that I think will be a winner with my kid. The GoCube 2×2 takes all the fun of a Rubik’s

REVIEW: The Treblab Z7 Pro Hybrid Active Noise Canceling Headphones are among the most comfortable over-ear headphones I’ve used. But comfort is little consolation if the sound is only so-so, right? Don’t tune out yet! I used the Treblab Z7 Pro headphones for phone calls plus a range of music listening and as a tease

REVIEW – Even though it is wintertime, we are still getting days up into the upper 80s here in south Texas. I have always been a fan of the nugget ice you can sometimes find in various restaurants. It is super crunchy and easy to chew. It also tends to make a nice almost slushy

REVIEW – The internet. We all use and rely on it every day. What happens if you can’t connect or your speed slows down or becomes unreliable in part of your house? The problem could be your internet service provider or it could be with your network hardware. If you’ve decided it’s time to buy
REVIEW – For millions of Americans, working from home has become the new norm (I hate that term). It’s my new norm, anyway. As we try to make our home and mobile offices more accommodating, we constantly look to upgrade and improve working conditions. Since most home office workers have to use video software for

REVIEW – There are lots of so-called “Rugged” cases out there available for a variety of phones. Rokform has been making them for a long time and simply put, they make them differently. I got the chance to put the aptly named Rugged Case for iPhone 13 Pro into regular rotation and find out what

REVIEW – I bought an 11 inch iPad Pro with the intent of switching all my favorite analog activities to digital. I wanted to journal on the iPad and draw on the iPad. To do this, I needed a stylus, and I splurged on an Apple Pencil. At $129, this wasn’t an easy purchase because

REVIEW – We’ve lived in our current home for over 20yrs and in that time, we’ve never put up Christmas lights. Why? Probably the main reason is that I don’t have outdoor power receptacles and have not wanted to run extension cords into the garage. Is there a solution? You bet there is. It’s Venusop

REVIEW – StarTech.com, makers of networking and display products, must have gotten tired of trying to find gear bags for their installers, because they have just launched a line of their own. Available in two sizes and one colorway the Professional IT Tech Backpack is designed for those who have to carry their gear with

REVIEW: The Ryobi RY40407VNM 40 Volt Cordless Jet Fan Leaf Blower is a ‘uni-tasker’. It simply blows stuff from where it is, to where you want it to be. This is the first Ryobi tool I’ve handled and it has me thinking about other 40 volt Ryobi tools since they all use the same battery.
REVIEW – Are you eying up some new holiday decorations but fretting about where to put them? Did you go overboard on Black Friday shopping, and now you’re short on storage space? Are you dreading Christmas morning because you have nowhere to put those brand-new goodies? Fleximounts overhead garage rack could be the solution you’ve

REVIEW – I know air fryers are all the rage right now, and although I never really thought I needed one, when one appeared on my doorstep I decided to give it a try. If you cook lots of frozen foods or reheat fried foods, I can definitely see the appeal! The Ultenic K10 5.3QT

REVIEW – Do you use an alarm clock to wake up in the morning? I have been using my iPhone and an Amazon Echo Dot for several years now, but is an old school clock radio a better option? Let’s find out by taking a look at the USCCE Digital Clock Radio. What is it?

REVIEW – In case it wasn’t obvious from the photo above, Nomad makes a bunch of cool solutions for iPhone 13 Pro. Pretty much every recent iPhone in fact, but we’re going to focus on those for iPhone 13 Pro for this review. We’ll be taking a closer look at the Modern Leather Case, the
REVIEW – We live in a more rural setting, but our kids are more urban. Our daughter is finishing her last year at college, and our son moved to a job in a major city. She’s able to walk to classes, but her campus is huge, and some buildings are over 30 minutes away. He

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – How many paper towels do you throw away in a day, week, month, year? I know we use a combination of paper towels that come on a roll and paper napkins at my house. Convenient? Yes. Wasteful? Definitely. Is there a better alternative to paper towels? That’s where the Yowel comes in.

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – You’re a geek and one of your buttons just popped off. What do you do? Go find a needle and thread and sew it back on, or replace it with a titanium button that has a built-in NFC tag? If you’re reading this, I think we already know the answer to that
