5startoolsgluegun1 rotated

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!)

BigBlue Cellpowa 500 Power Station review

BigBlue Cellpowa 500 6

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

Flexispot Soutien Ergonomic Office Chair review

SoutienOfficeDeskChair 19

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

Zigma Aerio-300 smart WiFi air purifier review

Zigma 8

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

TaoTronics Air Purifier (model TT-AP008) review

taotronics air purifier 1

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

Zhiyun Smooth Q3 smartphone gimbal review

zhiyun smoothq3 3

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

ManaDrink and ManaPowder meal replacement products review – Complete meal solutions made easy

MANA 01

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

Jackery Explorer 1500 Portable Power Station review – Absolute power

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.

BrightLine Bags review – Create the ultimate gear bag of your dreams

brightline bags 5

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

Logitech Combo Touch review – A near perfect keyboard and trackpad case for iPad Pro

LCTK 001

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

Shark Air Purifier 6 [HE601] review – Captures 99.97% of dust, dander, allergens, viruses, and smoke

Shark air purifier 2 rotated

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
