Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – These days I often create a short video to add to my reviews here at The Gadgeteer. A couple of recent examples include the setup of UREVO’s treadmill and Flexispot’s standing desk. As we’ve said many times on this blog, lighting is key to good photography, and that’s also true for good videography. […]
PIXEL K80RGB Lighting Kit review – wonderfully bright but fatally flawed Read More
REVIEW – My son and I discovered Keychron about a year ago. We’re both Mac users and were looking to see what all the fuss was about with mechanical keyboards. We bought him the K1 model (104 key with brown Gateron switches) and were almost immediately obsessed. I picked up a K1 and then a
Keychron Q1 review – A stunning QMK Custom Mechanical Keyboard Read More
REVIEW – Confession time. I generally like stock speakers. I know, I know. The treble usually sounds like a tinfoil thunderstorm and the bass doesn’t go low enough, or the crackle when one side of whatever speaker-equipped entertainment device you’re working with inevitably dies. (RIP driver-side rear speaker in my ’93 Thunderbird.) But I never thought

REVIEW – My hardwood floors take a constant beating. Between the menagerie of pets and farm boots being worn inside my floors are always covered in dirt and grime. While I have a robot vacuum to take care of the larger stuff, I have always struggled keeping up with the spills and dog drool that

REVIEW – Have I been called a prepper? Guilty. I try to be super prepped for an earthquake, which is far and away the most likely natural disaster to hit Southern California. When the Oupes power station came up for review, it was one piece of equipment that was missing from my kit, and I

REVIEW – This past June we moved into a new house with a little over 1800 square feet of tile. I hate housework. I would rather be outside working in the yard any day before dusting or cleaning the inside of the house. With that much tile, vacuuming and mopping is a real chore. I

REVIEW – I typically don’t need to charge my phone while I’m at my desk. However, occasionally I have found the need/desire to top off my phone battery, but I wouldn’t say I like using a cable. When the Nomad Base Station Mini review offer came along, I thought it would be a great time
Nomad Base Station Mini review – a wireless charger with the luxury of leather Read More
REVIEW – My wife purchased a Series 6 Apple Watch earlier this year and had to settle for buying Apple’s unattractive sports band to go with it. I recently reviewed Bellroy’s watch strap, which is a nice upgrade for when she wants to look a bit classier. She really likes the strap, but she also

REVIEW – Creating steady video and moving around from various angles used to be difficult and physically intensive. I was recently sent the Hohem iSteady X2, a gimbal designed for smartphones, and it’s a huge creative boost. I’ve tested it in several use cases, and am ready to report. What is it? An electronics-driven gimbal

REVIEW – We all have a lot of devices to charge – phones, watches, tablets, laptops, Bluetooth headphones, flashlight batteries, and the list goes on and on. What we don’t always have is a convenient place to charge multiple devices. Even if we do have a multi-outlet charger, what if we want to charge on

REVIEW – We all know that we should brush our teeth at least 2 times a day and we should be flossing as well. I was a slacker when it came to flossing until about a year ago when I finally made it a habit to floss every morning. But for some weird reason, I

REVIEW – You may have seen this one on “Shark Tank” back in 2019. Designed to be an all-in-one gym tool the Terra-Core offers all kinds of possibilities in a tank-like build. Lots to cover here, with lots of pictures. To the review! What is it? It’s a multipurpose balance trainer that can be used

REVIEW – As I get older I find that staring at a monitor all day has affected my eyes and I need a good light that spans the length of my monitor so that I can read the writing on the screen without squinting. Recently I reviewed similar lights and I really like them. Since

REVIEW – I have been using a toothbrush from Cybersonic for many years, and it continues to serve me well. Cybersonic updates the models every few years, so I have not had much to complain about. However, I also have not been able to compare it to its competitors who I know would be striving

REVIEW – The Amazfit T-Rex was released in late 2019 and demonstrated the most rugged Amazfit watch ever created. A little more than a year later, Amazfit has released the Amazfit T-Rex Pro. The new watch has a bunch of sensor and durability improvements. I have one to review. Read on to see what I think!

REVIEW – The EPOS H3 gaming headset offers great sound quality, excellent battery life and several connectivity options. What is it? The EPOS H3 gaming headset is a high-quality gaming headset with integrated controls, wired or Bluetooth connections, a handy flip-up/flip-down microphone, and a $179 price tag. What’s in the box? EPOS H3 gaming headset

REVIEW – I enjoy keeping a paper journal, notebook, diary, log, whatever you want to call it. I use one every day to write down 3-4 tasks that I want to accomplish because I’ve found that writing them on paper and checking them off as I finish them, actually makes me more productive than putting
NeoLAB LAMY Safari all black ncode smartpen review – Analog meets digital Read More
CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Everybody poops. There, I got that out of the way. And since everybody poops, everybody consumes a lot of toilet paper. Our house has a septic system, so the paper (theoretically) dissolves and slowly works its way back into the Florida (where I live) aquifer as clean water. I’m not convinced about
REVIEW – Smartphone cameras have become phenomenally good in the last few years, but no amount of optical image stabilization or digital trickery can match a good gimbal (yet). So is the Hohem iSteady V2 gimbal a good gimbal? I took it through it’s paces and will now break it down in review format, as
Hohem iSteady V2 gimbal review – a smooth operator Read More
REVIEW – Even in uneventful times everyone should own or have access to a good first aid kit. In many emergencies being able to respond quickly with the appropriate gear is one of the few ways to prevent catastrophe. Having worked briefly as a first responder, I know that having the right resources available in
