REVIEW – I commuted an hour to work each day before the pandemic. This meant that I had to rush out of the house early in the morning just to sit in a car. In order to get to work on time I started skipping breakfast and instead drinking a meal shake in the car.

REVIEW – If you’re a regular visitor to The Gadgeteer, you’ll know that I’ve adopted a low-carb Keto lifestyle as a way to control my pre-diabetes.

REVIEW – Our dining table was taken over with paperwork, so my wife decided she needed a dedicated workspace in the guestroom. Something nicer than the folding table!

REVIEW – I recently moved and am now the proud owner of a home with my first pool. And as pretty as that pool is, the pump and heater were not long for this world. They gave up the ghost after about two months, but luckily a package an Aiper Seagull 3000 robot pool cleaner
REVIEW – For the past 15 to 20 years, I have struggled with chronic insomnia. In an effort to get some kind of a restful night, I use a combination of medicinal sleep aids along with any device that I can find that can calm my mind. I have found that the sounds of rain

REVIEW – Do you suffer from phone battery anxiety, that nagging fear that your phone is going to run out of battery at any moment, causing you to charge it up every chance you get? You could carry around a portable battery pack but those are usually too bulky or low in capacity, plus you

REVIEW – Now that I have another driver (with a fourth starting this summer), I’ve been on the lookout for a high-quality dash cam for my son’s car to serve as another set of eyes in the event of a collision or other incident while he is on his way back and forth to school.

REVIEW – A couple of months ago, I reviewed the Artiphon INSTRUMENT 1 and now I’m back with another musical instrument from Artiphon. I enjoyed testing the INSTRUMENT 1 but found that it was more than I needed in a music-making device. Lucky for me, Artiphon makes another device that is much smaller and has

REVIEW – When we were kids, my sister and I enjoyed watching birds from our bedroom windows. We each kept notebooks where we recorded the birds that we would see. Dorky? Yeah, but we loved it and it was before I even knew that bird watching was a thing. When I was offered the Netvue

REVIEW – Here we go again with another Litheli product test and review. This time around, I am checking out the LitheLi 40V Cordless Brushless Snowblower.

REVIEW – The Denqir Mini Chainsaw is made for limb pruning and small tree cutting when loppers aren’t powerful enough for the task.

REVIEW – Thus far I have been very successful at remodeling my basement and one specific reason is that I am a guy who believes in having just about every relevant tool and a few that may not be relevant but can be invaluable when trying to do something slightly “irregular” or outside of the

REVIEW – Nomad has been making their Base Station product for a few years now. They’ve been able to stay true to a design theme while varying materials, footprint and Apple Watch compatibility. Magnetic alignment is the addition this time around and while that may seem minor or trivial, it makes a pretty big difference

REVIEW – I love the look of leather jackets. However, where I live in south Texas we have a winter that cannot make up its mind. One day we are in the ’80s, then the next day we have highs in the 40s. The cold snaps often don’t last more than a couple of days
