REVIEW: This is the third Wuben flashlight I’ve reviewed and the company continues to impress with their quality products. The Wuben D1 EDC flashlight uses a pretty big battery. It has a 3.6V, 18650 size battery and is the smallest flashlight I’ve seen that uses that size battery. Subtract an inch off of any of […]

REVIEW -Like many people, this past year of staying and working at home has allowed me to put on a few extra pounds. I was on my way to losing them by mainly working out (strength training and cardio on a spin cycle) when I broke my wrist. That was about the same time the

REVIEW – How often are you in a situation where you need just a little bit of light to illuminate the space around you? When you’re reading in bed at night, setting up a tent while it’s getting dark on a camping trip, working in a crawl space or above the ceiling where there is

REVIEW – If you are the type of person who considers themselves a DIYer or just likes to have useful tools available for those times when they are needed, you will like this review of the Hammerest Mini Precision Electric Screwdriver Set. Let’s check it out. What is it? The Hammerest Mini Precision Electric Screwdriver

REVIEW – The WeGym Smart Resistance Band System claims to be a portable full-body workout in a tiny bag. I had the opportunity to take these bands for a month-long spin — or stretch, rather — and here are my thoughts. What is it? The WeGym System is a highly-portable set of resistance bands that

REVIEW – Have we finally reached the saturation point with portable Bluetooth speakers yet? It seems that new ones are popping up every week—and boy, are they now cheap! However, despite the number of Bluetooth speakers I’ve reviewed over the years, I’ve yet to grow tired of them. There’s just something about quickly grabbing a

REVIEW – I’ve been following a lazy Keto / low carb diet for the past year. I’m pre-diabetic and use Keto to keep my blood sugar levels stable and to hopefully remove the pre-diabetic label and get back into the non-diabetic group at some point in the near future. Just because I’m eating low carb

REVIEW – One of the most recent projects in my home has been to build and equip a gym. I have had a treadmill for years and recently purchased a rowing machine. The only missing exercise equipment that my wife wanted was an exercise bike. I jumped at the opportunity to test and review this

REVIEW: The Orosound Tilde Pro Premium C+ Bluetooth headset is a serious audio listening and speaking device. This headset will not be found on the impulse-buy hangers at your office supply store. (The price was my first clue.) You can listen casually with the Tilde Pro, but if you want excellent sound reproduction from a

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a couple of robot vacuums in the past that include a wet/mop function, but neither of them did much in terms of mopping. As a result, my back still hurts after every manual mopping session. I was excited to review the Dreame H11 Max Wet and Dry vacuum and hoped that

REVIEW – These days I often create a short video to add to my reviews here at The Gadgeteer. A couple of recent examples include the setup of UREVO’s treadmill and Flexispot’s standing desk. As we’ve said many times on this blog, lighting is key to good photography, and that’s also true for good videography.

REVIEW – My son and I discovered Keychron about a year ago. We’re both Mac users and were looking to see what all the fuss was about with mechanical keyboards. We bought him the K1 model (104 key with brown Gateron switches) and were almost immediately obsessed. I picked up a K1 and then a

REVIEW – Confession time. I generally like stock speakers. I know, I know. The treble usually sounds like a tinfoil thunderstorm and the bass doesn’t go low enough, or the crackle when one side of whatever speaker-equipped entertainment device you’re working with inevitably dies. (RIP driver-side rear speaker in my ’93 Thunderbird.) But I never thought

REVIEW – My hardwood floors take a constant beating. Between the menagerie of pets and farm boots being worn inside my floors are always covered in dirt and grime. While I have a robot vacuum to take care of the larger stuff, I have always struggled keeping up with the spills and dog drool that

REVIEW – Have I been called a prepper? Guilty. I try to be super prepped for an earthquake, which is far and away the most likely natural disaster to hit Southern California. When the Oupes power station came up for review, it was one piece of equipment that was missing from my kit, and I

REVIEW – This past June we moved into a new house with a little over 1800 square feet of tile. I hate housework. I would rather be outside working in the yard any day before dusting or cleaning the inside of the house. With that much tile, vacuuming and mopping is a real chore. I

REVIEW – I typically don’t need to charge my phone while I’m at my desk. However, occasionally I have found the need/desire to top off my phone battery, but I wouldn’t say I like using a cable. When the Nomad Base Station Mini review offer came along, I thought it would be a great time

REVIEW – My wife purchased a Series 6 Apple Watch earlier this year and had to settle for buying Apple’s unattractive sports band to go with it. I recently reviewed Bellroy’s watch strap, which is a nice upgrade for when she wants to look a bit classier. She really likes the strap, but she also

REVIEW – Creating steady video and moving around from various angles used to be difficult and physically intensive. I was recently sent the Hohem iSteady X2, a gimbal designed for smartphones, and it’s a huge creative boost. I’ve tested it in several use cases, and am ready to report. What is it? An electronics-driven gimbal

REVIEW – We all have a lot of devices to charge – phones, watches, tablets, laptops, Bluetooth headphones, flashlight batteries, and the list goes on and on. What we don’t always have is a convenient place to charge multiple devices. Even if we do have a multi-outlet charger, what if we want to charge on
