Vastking Kingpad M10 Android tablet review – great screen, fine everything else

kingpadm10 29

REVIEW – I’ve been using tablets for a decade now, starting with the Motorola Xoom in 2011 (oof!), and continuing with a bevy of iPad and Android tablets through the years. It’s crazy to me that 10 years later, the dynamic still hasn’t changed much: for the best experience you should go with an iPad,

OKMO 1000W portable power station review – Power that goes anywhere

OKMO G1000 1

REVIEW – Our power doesn’t go out very often here, but when it does, it’s very inconvenient because my wife and I both work from home. When the OKMO 1000W Portable Power Station review offer came along, I jumped at the chance to have a little backup power. What is it? The OKMO 1000W Portable

ChefsTemp Finaltouch X10 cooking thermometer review

ChefsTemp 15

REVIEW:  What does the ChefsTemp Finaltouch X10 do that other instant-read thermometers don’t do? There is something, and it’s pretty cool. Righties and lefties (hands, and politics) should appreciate the feature. But does it do its main thing well?  What is it The ChefsTemp Finaltouch X10 is a battery powered, instant-read, probe type cooking thermometer.

flexispot modish 1

REVIEW – I’m a software guy, working in the areas of DevOps, cloud engineering, and data modeling.  What does that really mean?  Just this:  I spend a lot of time sitting, working on my computer at my desk, and I don’t spend nearly enough time during the day standing, walking, or exercising.  As I’m a

TCL MOVEAUDIO S600 TWS earbuds review – an affordable alternative to AirPods Pro

TCL S600 22

REVIEW – You might think that when choosing totally wireless earphones, the sound quality would be the deciding factor. Maybe not. There’s also comfort, call quality, ease of use, brand cachet, and of course—price to consider. Generally, you can have any five of the six listed. For instance, if you opt for sound, comfort, call

Sleep Number True Temp sheet set and pillows review

sleepnumber truetemppillowssheetset review 1

REVIEW – Did you know we spend about one-third of our life either sleeping or attempting to do so? Obviously, good sleep is important, so I recently traded in my boring old mattress for one of those fancy memory foam mattresses. The sleep experience has been night and day different. But, my sheets and pillows still

Tom Bihn Techonaut 45 backpack review – you get what you pay for

tom backpack 01

REVIEW – As I prepare to enter my middle-age years, I have done a lot of reflecting lately. One of the trends I have noticed the older I get is to gravitate towards paying more for quality rather than always buying the cheapest functional version of something I need. Case-in-point: I probably used and wore

Datacolor ColorReader EZ review – Match and find paint colors in a click

DCEZ 01

REVIEW – Color is big business. It’s something most of us take for granted, but getting the color right can be quite complicated. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about paint colors, or the space gray of a MacBook Pro; in either case, there’s someone (or many someones) behind getting that exact shade right. It’s

redkey f10 13

REVIEW – Cleaning the house. It’s a chore we all have to deal with. Vacuuming can be a pain because you have to plug in your vacuum cleaner and drag the cord all around the house with you. Getting rid of the cord would be a benefit, making it easier to clean anywhere around the

TaoTronics 3-in-1 10,000 BTU Portable Air Conditioner, Fan, Dehumidifier review

TaoTronics Portable AC 3

REVIEW – Moving from an apartment to a house automatically meant that I would need more Air Conditioners to battle the NY summer. Since my house does not have central air, window AC units were the other option. But in my kids’ room, I preferred to use a portable AC since it is much safer
