Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – About 20 years ago, I had one of those older lead-acid jump start battery packs. It was very heavy, but it saved the day more than once. It even had an air compressor on board! Newer jump start battery packs are much smaller with lithium batteries. Today I get to try one with […]
REVIEW – I’ve never understood photo mousepads. Seriously, who wants to roll all over the faces of their loved ones with a mouse? I’ve always opted for a styled mousepad, so when I got a chance to look at one covered with real carbon fiber, I happily agreed. What is it? The Monocarbon mousepad is

REVIEW – As I’ve written before, I’m active in Scouting (Eagle Scout, Assistant Scoutmaster). One of the Ten Essentials for the outdoors is appropriate rain gear. I’m not sure if it’s because we’ve had crippling droughts in California for years, but I actually don’t own a packable rain jacket. Thankfully, now I have one to

REVIEW – Twelve South started joining Mac keyboards to Mac trackpads back in 2011 with their original MagicWand. This was back when you had to use a penny to unscrew the AA battery compartment on those Apple devices. Good times. Well it’s 2021 and they’ve released the updated, extended version of their MagicBridge which connects
REVIEW – If you’re reading this website, there’s a good chance you’ve used a powered screwdriver before. Building your own computer, Raspberry Pi projects, changing out the memory or storage on your device – having a power driver makes short work of those pesky screws. The folks at PowBuzz have responded to the increasing miniaturization

REVIEW – Ring lights are easy to use camera accessories that vloggers can use to improve their content. We’ve done a handful of ring light reviews here on The Gadgeteer and today I want to add another review to that list. It’s the Kodak Ring Light 10″. Coming from the Kodak brand, you would expect

REVIEW – As I’ve mentioned in my previous reviews, I’m a coffee addict. I saw an ad on Facebook for the Tchibo single-serve coffee machine that caught my eye, and I just had to have one. Why? Well, read on and find out! What is it? The Tchibo is a German-engineered single-serve coffee machine that

REVIEW – Our house water is so hard. How hard is it? Our house water is so hard, even Chuck Norris avoids it. Ok, so I don’t know Mr. Norris, but we have some of the hardest city water around. The limescale has left its mark on our shower doors, glasses, dishes, and even our

REVIEW – Some time ago, I tested and reviewed my first Dragon tablet and have been using it for leisure ever since. It has been a consistent performer and even filled in for teleschooling for my kids on a few occasions when no laptop was available. Now I get to test the Dragon Touch MAX10

REVIEW – Summer is right around the corner, and it is time to find ways to beat the heat. I love my central air conditioning, but running it 24/7 in the summer gets awfully expensive. Tower fans are a good alternative, and I have owned a few over the years. However, I never really found

REVIEW – When you think cool, geeky tech, what comes to mind? Friggen’ laser beams? Well, sure. But what else? Carbon fiber! Monocarbon, purveyor of all things carbon fiber offers a great business card holder encased in wonderfully geeky carbon fiber. What is it? This is a case for holding business cards. It is completely

REVIEW – Nomad has created a similar look and feel with all their products and the Base Staion line of products is no exception. The new Base Station Mini certainly takes its cue from previous versions while defining its own diminutive footprint that looks classy on any desk. Their 20w USB-C Power Adapter fits right
REVIEW – If you’re a regular Gadgeteer reader, you’ll know that I’m into keto and low carb foods because I’m a pre-diabetic. What is it? Magic Spoon is a brand of grain-free, gluten-free, soy-free, wheat-free high protein low-carb keto-friendly cereal that is available in 4 flavors that will take your mind and tastebuds back to

REVIEW – The Lensball is a crystal sphere that I reviewed several years ago. No, it’s not a tool to read people’s fortunes, it’s an accessory for your camera – you shoot photos through the ball. Yes, it’s as cool as it sounds and you need to go check out my Lensball review to learn

REVIEW – No, I am not auditioning for the lead in the next The Fly movie. I’m getting an eye massage with the E3 eye massager from SKG. Eye massage? Well, it’s really a massager for around your eyes, as well as your temples. Let’s dig in and see what all this goofy-looking device is

REVIEW – Avast! There be a monster lurking beneath the surface! No, it’s not there to eat the boat, wrap its tentacles around Captain Jack Sparrow, or swallow Jonah. It’s here to clean! My mom is 81 and lives an hour away, but I’m her “pool guy,” so I was excited to review Aiper

REVIEW – Wow, no sooner had I reviewed the Dyson clone Dreametech T20 cordless stick vacuum cleaner when they release the updated (and upgraded) T30. The T30 has a few new features along with increased suction power, but otherwise, it’s almost identical to the T20. I’m not sure if the T30 will replace or be

REVIEW – Once again, faithful readers, I find myself in the position to be forced to get neck massages for your benefit. I hope you appreciate the lengths we go here for you at The Gadgeteer! SKG recently released their K5 Pro neck TENS massager and I’m putting it through its paces. Let’s see if

REVIEW – The TaoTronics air cooler is not a portable air conditioner. It’s a fan, water circulation pump system and absorption panel that pulls warm air through it, evaporates moisture and then blows out cool, humid air. What is it? It’s an evaporative air cooler for small areas, which can be used with or without

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – In the hyper-connected world we live in, it is not an uncommon scenario for us to be working across multiple devices simultaneously, and doing that while on the go. That level of productivity often comes with compromises – you can focus on one device that is handy, but have to physically shift
