REVIEW – As our digital lives progress, we suddenly find we have a network of things that we are carrying around. Phones, earbuds, watches, tablets – and everything needs recharging at some point. Since we aren’t yet able to leverage the Universal Will to Become to power all our things, we have to pause every so […]

REVIEW – For the past year, I have been searching for a good chair to use at my podcasting station as I sit for a few hours recording and editing episodes. I have been trying out gaming chairs which are usually inherently designed to support sitting for extended periods of time. I have written a

REVIEW – If the name Tribit doesn’t come to mind when considering a portable Bluetooth speaker, it should. Consumers are catching on to what Tribit’s been doing. Their StormBox line of speakers is stylish, affordable, and sounds really good. No matter who their competition is, Tribit always manages to offer more bang for your hard-earned

REVIEW – I’ve been doing a lot of drawing and leathercraft in the last year and if there’s one thing that you need to do both of these activities and many more, it is light and lots of it. Light helps me make detailed doodles of crazy characters and light helps me see the holes

REVIEW – Over the past few years, it has been quite evident that many households have been trying to “cut the cord” from cable TV. While I have not quite made that decision as yet, I like to have alternate solutions when my cable TV experiences a service interruption or when I want to record

REVIEW – Recently I have been able to test a few electric toothbrushes. I have been looking for a new toothbrush with newer technology to replace my old but faithful Cybersonic. This time around I am testing the Pomabrush electric toothbrush. What is it? The Pomabrush electric toothbrush is designed to effectively clean your teeth

REVIEW – Those that regularly read The Gadgeteer will note that we get a ton of robot vacuums to review. Some are good, some not so good, but all represent the rise of our eventual robot overlords. In my not-so-humble opinion, the Ecovacs DEEBOT series of robot vacuums are at the top of the heap

REVIEW UPDATES – Today we have six updates. One update is from a review that was posted earlier this week and another one is as old as 2016. Why do we do these updates? I think it’s important to revisit our past product reviews to let you know how well these products continue to work
REVIEW – Learning to play guitar, and getting to a point where others might want to listen, can be a very large gap. Even when you sound really good, the required repetition to nail a lick can take a toll on anyone listening. Headphones have long been a great solution for this, but without good

REVIEW – I’m what you might call an early adopter. Many years ago, when our kids were little, we bought three television-based video conferencing units – one for us and one for each set of grandparents. I wish I could remember the name of the units, but alas, I cannot. You looked them up to

REVIEW – Apple misplaced a bunch of ports when they switched from MagSafe to USB-C on their MacBook line a few years ago. Even if you have one of the Intel machines with 4 ports, they’re all USB-C. It’s nice and clean, but means you need to plan for compatibility whenever you need to connect

REVIEW – Now that I have moved into my new home office/studio, I am able to design the layout of the room to accommodate all of my gigs that include photo/video editing, some product photography, and hosting a podcast. I really like to work at night, and I find that the right lighting can really

REVIEW – Who needs two-way radios when we all have cellphones? A powerful radio could move from convenience to necessity if cell signals don’t exist when camping or hiking for example. Hopefully, this review will help you sort the issues before you take the first radio set you see on a hanger in a sporting

REVIEW – We’ve reviewed a lot of chargers here at The Gadgeteer. As a means to continue that tradition, I present to you Baseus’s new 100W GaN2 four-port charger. And, for good measure, they sent along their new single-port USB-C 100W GaN2 charger so I took a look at that one as well. What is

REVIEW – Municipal water is, sadly, no longer guaranteed to be safe from pollutants and poisons from pipes and groundwater leaching. Many folks I know use filtered pitchers in their fridge to take care of the impurities, but those things take a good while to seep through. Plus, they aren’t portable. Enter the Astrea

REVIEW – I have been extremely fortunate in that in my 50 plus years of life, I have never had to wear glasses of any kind. I have been working on computers in my IT career since 1989 and I am just starting to need some reading glasses for low light and small print conditions.

REVIEW – There are many true wireless earbuds on the market today, but only a small number of them have hybrid, multi-platform wireless operating capability. The EPOS GTW 270 Hybrid Earbuds have both Bluetooth and an aptX USB-C dongle, which allows them to operate in two wireless domains. Let’s check them out. What is it?

REVIEW – Meet the new addition to my Uke family: the Ukutunes UKE1 Concert Ukulele! It’s a surprisingly sweet player that has some nice sound to go with those good looks. To the review! What is it?

REVIEW – Spring is in full bloom, and between the pollen, dust, and shedding pets, your sinuses might be ready to call it quits. It could be time to invest in an air purifier, like the MSA3 from Membrane Solutions. What is it? The MSA3 Air Purifier from Membrane Solutions is a HEPA filter, ozone-free
