Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – When I decided to outfit my home office/studio, I knew that smaller 15″ monitors would work best for me for some needs because of space and because I designed the room with my podcasting workstation separate from my daily use/photo editing/video editing workspace. I went on a quest to find the best 15″ […]

REVIEW – OK, so I know most people come to the Gadgeteer to read about super high-tech stuff that will revolutionize your life, but as a crafter, this cordless glue gun sets you free! No longer do you have to huddle by a power outlet or string extension cords through your house (hello, tripping hazard!)
5StarTool 2600mAh Cordless Lithium Hot Glue Gun review – It’s a game changer! Read More
REVIEW – I hate power cords. They get tangled and are in the way, especially on small kitchen appliances. We usually use twist ties to tame them, but we lose the twist ties, and it still leaves a blob of cord dangling behind the appliance. It sure would be great if all small appliances came

REVIEW – With gadgets comes the chore of charging them. I’m all about convenience and minimalism, so when I was invited to review the RapidX Modula5 expandable wireless charging system, it ticked both boxes and I said “hook me up”. Let’s check it out. What is it? The RapidX Modula5 expandable wireless charging system for

REVIEW – Being able to power my several mobile devices off the grid has become very important to me. For the past 16 months, I have been working remotely, and having portable power allows me to sometimes leave the confines of my home office for some much-needed fresh air while maintaining my work responsibilities. Since

REVIEW UPDATES – There are a LOT of websites that post reviews, but here at The Gadgeteer, we go farther than most of those sites because we post updates on a regular basis for the products that we love (or sometimes hate). Our updates let you know how well a product holds up over time

REVIEW – Due to the coronavirus pandemic in mid-March 2020, almost overnight millions of workers in the US went from cubicles and other office settings to working remotely from kitchen tables couches, and other non-ideal settings. This unprecedented spike in working from home led to an explosion in home office equipment in the market. I

REVIEW – California is known for a lot of things (most of them awesome) but one thing that isn’t so super is our air quality. The smog situation has improved a lot over the years, and people would probably think that there isn’t much left to burn in California, but it’s a big place and

REVIEW – As I continue to set the scene for the summer and to set up the new bar in my new home, I decided to seize the opportunity to test yet another Ice Maker to not only possibly run two simultaneously to double the output of ice but also once again because I am

REVIEW – I have something of an almost diagnosable mania for luggage and backpacks. I guess it’s because I feel like the right travelling gear can really make or break your travel days. When Kabuto offered up a premium carry-on to review right before my family vacation, I was all over it! What is it?

REVIEW – I recently reviewed an air purifier from Proscenic, one designed to handle up to 1,000 square feet of space. It’s a good purifier and the right size for our house, but I’d like to find one that’s smaller, one that would work well in an apartment. I had previously tested a pair of

REVIEW – Content creators are everywhere these days. Photos are great, but video still rules for compelling content. Nothing destroys a clip more quickly than jerky video. It can make the content borderline unwatchable. Zhiyun has released their new Zhiyun Smooth Q3 smartphone gimbal. Let’s check it out and see if this can smooth the

REVIEW – It is just about the beginning of summer in NYC, and it is time for me to set up the new bar in my new home with all of the conveniences I can afford. I like the bells and whistles even if they are more about the look and style and less about
Free Village Store Ice Maker review – Cocktails anyone? Read More
REVIEW – You don’t have to be on a diet or an athlete to benefit from dietary science. The rule of thumb when it comes to food is really just to know what you’re eating. Mana has created complete meal solutions that come in either a powder that needs to be mixed or a ready-to-drink
REVIEW – When the Britisher Lord Acton famously said in the 1800s, “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely,” he obviously wasn’t referring to portable power stations—electricity wasn’t even in homes yet. However, today the opposite is true. Getting absolute power from portable power sources like the Jackery Explorer 1500 Portable Power Station corrupts nothing.

REVIEW – I used to daydream about creating the perfect gear bag. In those dreams, I wanted a bag that could transform from small to big depending on what I needed to carry with me. Big for travel, slim for day-to-day work commutes. I approached a couple of popular bag makers to see if they

REVIEW – The original Rubik’s Cube was launched in 1980. I was 9 and it was the toy to have. I got pretty good at solving one side with all of the top layer in order but that was the extent of it. I always wanted to be able to solve one, but never took

REVIEW – I have always liked to see the construction guys with their tape wheels measuring out distances for various forms that they build. They would wheel along from one point to another making notations in a notebook at every stopping point. I used to think how cool it would be if there was a

REVIEW – Many of us have had those moments where we’re trying to decide if we can take a trip without the laptop. iPad has made that possible for a while, but depending on what you need to get done, a keyboard is almost a requirement. When Apple enabled trackpad support it got even closer
Logitech Combo Touch review – A near perfect keyboard and trackpad case for iPad Pro Read More
REVIEW – Beyond temperature, the air in my home just sort of…exists. Dander and dust are a daily reality of owning a furry companion; with allergy season upon us, and having been in our “bubbles” for some time, it’s more important than ever to address the microscopic elephants in the room. Could the solution be
