Epson Workforce Pro WF-7310 printer review – A very capable wireless-wide format printer

REVIEW – Sometimes it seems like printing has gone the way of the CD for software installation. However, depending on your line of work or need to print, physically sign and mail documents for antiquated processes still used in real estate and other industries, having a dependable printer can be anything from a life saver […]

By Mike Dixon / November 15, 2021 / Reviews / Camping, Outdoor Gear / 3 Comments

REVIEW – I’ve been watching the CampStove products from BioLite since they were first introduced in 2012. I was enamored by the concept of charging a device using only wood fuel. When an opportunity to test the latest BioLite CampStove Complete Cook Kit came along, I was absolutely delighted to try it out. What is

Satechi USB-C Hybrid Multiport Adapter review – adds SSD storage to your USB hub

By Matt Gregersen / November 15, 2021 / Reviews / Storage, USB hub / 7 Comments

REVIEW – If you’re anything like me, you always want/need more storage on your device. Certain fruit-themed brands charge a massive premium for larger storage options so many of us end up with very limited hard drives on our computers or tablets. Satechi has previously helped with that gap by providing external USB-C SSD (solid

Remi custom night guard home kit review – end the daily grind

By Garry Kolb / November 14, 2021 / Reviews / Health and fitness / 2 Comments

REVIEW – The daily grind. For most, that means going to work. For some, however, that means the nightly activity of grinding teeth. Grinding can cause serious issues and even tooth loss. Dentists will make bite guards for you, at a cost, and if you don’t have good dental insurance, that cost can be high.

Vissles LP85 with Corsair Dark Core RGB Pro SE mouse

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Mechanical keyboards have been around in computer systems for many years, varying in style based on switch types, keycaps, key travel, clickiness, sound, height, etc. Many options are available from pre-made keyboards to kits you can build yourself.

July Carry-On Pro review – a roll aboard suitcase, laptop sleeve, and charging combo

By Garry Kolb / November 13, 2021 / Reviews / luggage, Travel Gear / 2 Comments

REVIEW – Carry-on suitcases are a dime a dozen. Everybody makes one. They all do pretty much the same thing – hold your junk and fit in the overhead bin on an aircraft. Why should we care about any new ones that come on the market? To be noticed in the fray, it would need

SteakAger Pro 15 beef dry ager review

By Garry Kolb / November 12, 2021 / Reviews / Cooking, Food, Home and Kitchen / 2 Comments

REVIEW – If you’ve ever eaten at a high-end steakhouse, one of the things they regularly tout is dry-aged beef. Dry-aging is a process to improve the quality of beef. It takes a long time and a serious space commitment in a refrigerator, and therefore, costs more. That’s why you typically only see it at

Generark HomePower 2 Backup Battery Power Station and SolarPower 2 review – an impeccably dressed monster

By Bill Henderson / November 11, 2021 / Reviews / Batteries and Chargers, power station, Solar / 2 Comments

REVIEW – In late 2020, I reviewed the Generark HomePower One, a beast of a portable solar generator at 1000 watt-hours strong. I also chided Generark, because the HomePower One is a clone of the Japanese version of the Jackery Explorer 1000. That’s not a slight, because, with its fold-down handle, the Japanese Jackery is

Brydge MAX+ iPad Pro 12.9″ keyboard case review

By Dave Rees / November 11, 2021 / Reviews / iPad keyboard case / Leave a Comment

REVIEW – Tell me this doesn’t look like the long rumored/envisioned/just announced 14” MacBook Pro. The designers at Brydge have done it again…getting ever closer to transforming your overpowered iPad Pro into a touchscreen MacBook Pro. For years now, Brydge has been creating Bluetooth keyboard cases that add greater functionality to Apple’s flagship tablets. For
