REVIEW – Many years ago I had LASIK surgery and when I did, the doctors told me that at some time in years to come when I reached my 50s, I would need reading glasses. Well, I am over 50, and I have been using reading glasses for a few years. Like most people that […]

REVIEW – As more and more devices switch over to Type-C (USB-C) charging ports, the need for multi-port high wattage chargers have become more significant. Laptops, battery banks, flashlights, and wireless microphones are just some of the Type-C devices that I often find myself charging quite often. I decided to see if the KOVOL Sprint

REVIEW – With the risk of sounding like a broken record, I love testing smartphones and especially new models. I am always looking for a business phone to match the performance of my usual personal iPhone at the time. This time around, I am looking for an Android smartphone to adequately match my iPhone 13

REVIEW – EcoFlow’s innovative power stations have only been on the market for a few months, but have made a big impact in portable power. I was very impressed with the Delta Pro power station and jumped at the opportunity to have a look at their River Mini. What is it? The EcoFlow River Mini

REVIEW – We should all be using a water flosser as part of our daily routine, right? I’ve gone through a dozen of them over the years. Enter the The Flosmore Cordless Water Flosser, which promises some neat features you’ll find on more expensive units at a great budget price. How do it do? Let’s
The Flosmore Cordless Water Flosser review – packs a punch at a bargain price! Read More
REVIEW – If my memory serves me correctly, several years ago I purchased Bone Conduction headphones from AfterShokz. I loved their design and function but I also remember them being a bit hard and rigid and that they would hurt in places around my head after wearing them for a while. I also remember parting

REVIEW – USB was introduced in 1996 and has since taken over the world. Very few portable electronics are not equipped with a USB charging port. But how to keep them all charged? Unitek’s 10-port USB charging station to the rescue! What is it? The Unitek model Y-2190F is an AC-powered, charging station with
REVIEW: At 11.4 ounces the Zeeker P10 is a hefty cell phone. It’s heavy duty. Emphasis on heavy. It has a 6000 mAh battery so it would be. It is also submersible. No, it takes underwater pictures. Continue conversations in the bath, anyone? Could the Zeeker P10 be your everyday smartphone with specs like this?

REVIEW – I walk for 20 minutes 2 times a day on the treadmill and do strength training 4 times a week using a TotalGym. I’ve been doing this for years and although it helps to keep me active, and relatively fit, doing the same thing day after day, week after week, month after month,

REVIEW – When I was much younger, I truly enjoyed the winter seasons in New York, and at times I would be outdoors in 50-degree weather with a T-shirt and shorts. These days, the cold seems to hurt my bones and joints, and I look for ways to stay warm when outdoors. Basically, I now

REVIEW – As long-time (well, the past 4 years) readers may remember, in addition to my day job and my duties as a reviewer for The Gadgeteer, I am actively involved with the Boy Scouts. Recently, I added the position of Adult Troop Quartermaster to my long-term role as an Assistant Scoutmaster. One of the

REVIEW – SwitchBot has been impressing me for the last few months with their innovative, yet reasonably priced gadgetry like their curtain closing robot, contact and motion sensors, and now with their Color Change Bulbs. The Holiday season is a perfect time to try these out! What is it? SwitchBot’s Color Change bulbs are 120-volt,

REVIEW – When you kick down for a new phone it can be mighty tempting just to get the new version of whatever case you were running before. That’s all well and good, but you might be missing out by not trying something new. I’ve been on the yearly upgrade cycle for a while now

REVIEW – I try my best to keep a clean home, which is sometimes a losing battle with a house rabbit and cat and their constant shedding. I’ve found that automation is a practical way to keep ahead of the hair and have used several different vacuuming robots over the years. I wanted to have

REVIEW – If I have not done so before, I cannot stress enough the importance of having the right tool for the job. As a DIYer, I have accomplished amazing projects with relative ease because I have the right tools. If it performs as it should, this Tacklife Jigsaw is sure to be another “right”

REVIEW – Listening to music can make exercising more tolerable. Witness the huge case market for sweat-resistant armbands, cases, and headphones. Listening to music when you’re outside running, biking, or otherwise being exposed to environmental hazards (i.e. cars, trucks, and other motorized vehicles) can be dangerous to your situational awareness. Aftershokz, a company that specializes
REVIEW – We’ve been reviewing a lot of power stations lately here at The Gadgeteer, including models from Oupes, OKMO, and Puleida. Whenever you look through the marketing material for these stations, they always have pictures of people camping. While that is a fine use for one of these gadgets, we have a somewhat different

REVIEW – Someone once told me that one of Murphy’s Laws states that there is a direct proportion between the value of a carpet and the likelihood that a cat will puke on it. My cat is a puke machine, but I love her anyway. Her vet recommends small meals throughout the day which

REVIEW – Hackers are always in the news. One of the latest schemes is RFID skimming where an electronic reader in close proximity to an RFID-enabled card, like a credit card, reads the pertinent payment information from the card. This allows the thief to perform contactless transactions as if they had tapped the physical card
