REVIEW – I’ve reviewed quite a few smartwatches over the years, but once the review was posted, I stopped wearing them because they always felt too bulky and uncomfortable on my wrist. But then I reviewed a fitness system that used the Apple Watch. They sent me a refurb to use with their system and […]

REVIEW – One of the main frustrations I’ve had with the Apple Mac Mini (M1, 2020) is the low number of ports, and that they’re always on the back. I’ve tried various hubs but none seem to be as slick as the Satechi stand that sits neatly under the Mac Mini itself. I got to

REVIEW – It seems to me, between CleanTok and the hundreds of “Clean with me” youtube videos trending that we might be onto a bit of a cleaning revolution. What works best? What works fastest? Is it smart, or dumb? Is there a Lemon-y scent? It’s no wonder in the year after sanitizing almost became

REVIEW – When the iPhone with MagSafe charging came out last year, there was only one clear case with Magsafe- the Apple one. I found that case extremely slippery with buttons that were hard to push. Eventually, a few “no name” brand cases trickled out into the market. I tried a handful, and they were

REVIEW – Crumbs in your keyboard? Dust on your camera lens? I realize that these are both first-world problems, but if you’re looking for a solution to these and other small cleaning tasks, the Brigii M1 cordless 3 in 1 vacuum cleaner may be the answer. Let’s find out if it is. What is it?
REVIEW – As we move into summer here in the Northern Hemisphere, more and more people are having outside get-togethers. If a movie would make a part of a good gathering for you, a sturdy outdoor screen will be in order. To that end, ProjectorScreen.com sent me the Elite Screens Yard Master 2 screen for

REVIEW – I spend a lot of time sitting at my desk, being a software developer and writer. I’ve had many chairs over the years, some good, some bad. I recently set up a guest room, and the Nexvoo Health Ergonomic Chair review offer could not have come at a better time. Would I keep

REVIEW – I’m always on the lookout for my next favorite wallet. For the last 6 months, my favorite has been the AKEENi XSTO minimalist wallet that I reviewed back in December. It’s always going to be one of my favorites because it has the Gadgeteer logo engraved on it. But I recently received the

REVIEW – George Lucas said, “Sound is 50 percent of the moviegoing experience.” You may not be making the next Star Wars film, but if you’re streaming games, in endless Zoom calls for work, recording your own music, or just wanting better audio for whatever project you’re doing, a good microphone is critical. The KMAG

REVIEW – Clean Freaks Unite! Most of the time, my home is ship-shape. I enjoy keeping it orderly and scrubbed, but that’s not always possible with my furry friends and active family. Always in need of a quick cleanup, I jumped at the opportunity to give the Kyvol V20 cordless stick vacuum a few laps

REVIEW – When I purchased my new home, one of the “must-have” upgrades on my list was a garage door opener. I knew that I would be frequently accessing my garage for numerous reasons and manually opening and closing the door each time would be a pain. My idea for a garage door opener did

REVIEW – For eons (in computer time), Wacom has dominated the graphics and display tablet market. However, over the last few years, the competition has been heating up and this is good for the industry and especially for customers. XP-Pen is a tablet company that has been striving to become the David to Wacom’s Goliath
REVIEW – I’m always on the lookout for gadgets for our kids, things to help them as they transition to the next normal after college. I found a coffee maker for our daughter and a space heater and some tools for our son. As our daughter enjoys baking, I’m taking a look at a new

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – At some point in our lives, many of us have fantasized about driving a race car at breakneck speeds, whipping around an oval, or perhaps conquering a road course, effortlessly drifting around a tight curve, keeping the vehicle in perfect alignment for that expert exit at full throttle. Put that thrill on

REVIEW – The 80’s and 90’s belt styles, like densely riveted, nylon, and braided leather, could be fastened to almost any length. BeltBuy has sent me a Men’s leather dress belt with an automatic sliding ratchet buckle. Does this product provide a fully adjustable belt with contemporary fashion? Read on to see what I think!

REVIEW – Headphone dongles–they’ve become our best and worst friends over the last few years. They allow our phones to be slimmer and more compact but they require us to carry another cable if we want to listen to music. And if we want to charge while we’re listening, well forget about that. Enter the

REVIEW – Last year, I reviewed The X-Chair X2 K-Sport Mgmt Chair (long name) and it has become my daily WFH chair. Then in February of this year, I reviewed another X2-HMT K-Sport Mgmt Chair with an added heat/massage function for the lower back. I really like the heat and massage therapy (HMT) option, but

REVIEW – We’ve been getting quite a few power stations sent to us for review here at The Gadgeteer lately. The Puleida Portable Power Station caught my eye because it was the antithesis of the last power station I reviewed (the massive Bluetti AC200P power station – which is most definitely not very portable). Puleida’s

REVIEW – My son ran track in his freshman year of high school, and has been lifting weights at home. He’s seen these cordless massagers at track meets, and I’ve seen dozens of lookalike models available online. Now we’ve got a chance to look at a packable model with an extendable handle. Let’s take a
