REVIEW – LED light strips are cool. They can add accent colors to your home decorating. Most LED strips display one color of your choosing. Twinkly, a maker of app-controlled, addressable LED lights recently released Twinkly Line. Let’s see why this isn’t your father’s boring old LED light strip. What is it? Twinkly Line is […]

REVIEW – Recently, I reviewed the Dyson V15 Detect+ cordless stick vacuum cleaner and it’s phenomenal. However, the Dyson is über expensive and is financially out of reach of many households. But that doesn’t mean a good—and affordable—cordless stick vacuum cleaner is unattainable. Far from it. There are many out there and this is a

REVIEW – There are so many headset models on the market today that it can be daunting to research and find the perfect one. You could spend hours reading reviews and comparing spec sheets and only be able to cover a fraction of the models available. For me, it takes either an exceptional performance-to-price package
CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Spending time cleaning, sucks, am I right? I’m all for anything that can reduce cleaning time and effort, especially if it also improves cleaning performance. Goodpapa is putting its spin on kitchen cleaning with its new Kickstarter campaign for the K1 4-in-1 Spin Scrubber. They have some history with spinning cleaning products

REVIEW – Before I moved into my new home, I enlisted a few friends to help me paint every wall and a few ceilings on the first and second floors. It was way more work than I anticipated and thankfully towards the end, another friend lent me a paint sprayer. It was amazingly helpful except

REVIEW – Since COVID hit, I have been working from home and it looks like it is going to stay that way for the long term. I will, however, have to go into the office now and again for special meetings or team events. I wanted a bag I could use to carry my laptop

REVIEW – If you are a regular Gadgeteer reader, it’s no secret I love Nixplay’s photo frames. I previously reviewed a different Nixplay 10.1-inch picture frame (here) and 9.7-inch metal photo frame here, both of which are performing admirably, happily displaying over 1000 photos each. Now I’m excited to review Nixplay’s new W10K photo frame!
REVIEW – Photography and videography work best with light to brighten your subject or scene, and having a decent amount of illumination helps when shooting to get that perfect exposure. However, there are times when you can’t get an adequate amount of light, so just a little bit of fill light will have to do.

REVIEW – This has been the first summer in my new home, and I have been able to enjoy several outdoor activities including gardening with my wife. She is great at designing landscapes and selecting and planting beautiful plants. At first, I enjoyed watering them several times weekly. Now that I am very busy with

REVIEW – Everyone in my family has traded in privacy for convenience. We all share our location with Google and each other, we have smart devices listening to us throughout our house and we don’t kid ourselves that our phones aren’t eavesdropping all the time. When the Invoxia GPS tracker came up for review, I

REVIEW – My wife recently purchased one of the Series 6 Apple Watches, and she loves it. It monitors her exercise and activity, it allows her to quickly read text messages, it’s easy access to Siri, and so on. The Apple Watches are rather expensive, but she finds hers to be worth it, given all

REVIEW – Flashlights are important safety items. If you need bright light, it usually means carrying a big light with you. Big light = big light, right? Not if you’re carrying the new Catapult Mini from Thrunite! What is it? The Catapult Mini is a high-powered flashlight styled after Thrunite’s Catapult V6 SST70 flashlight, just

REVIEW – As I type this, it’s August here in southern Indiana where Gadgeteer HQ is located. That means that it’s hot and humid. It also means that my AC runs a LOT and sometimes the house just feels muggy inside. Besides running the AC 24/7 (which isn’t a good idea), is there another way

REVIEW – Ever since bushcraft knives first came to my attention, I’ve been a big fan, mainly because of their incredible versatility. Bushcraft knives are designed specifically to tackle a ton of difficult tasks and are purpose-built for strength and durability. Swedish knifemaker Morakniv has been in the business of making some of the toughest

REVIEW – Who needs built-in laptop compartments when you can have this? The Waterfield Double-Take Sleeve protects your laptop and your tablet with room to play, and gives you two different carry options as a stand-alone bag or an integrated part of your kit. I love functional multitaskers. To the review! What is it? It’s

REVIEW – Guitar news typically focuses on the artists themselves (and why shouldn’t it) or the core equipment (guitars, amps, strings, pedals). However, there is an unsung component that rarely gets mentioned… the guitar pick. It could be that it’s just taken for granted, relegated to band merchandising or that everyone assumes a pick is

REVIEW – I’m into interesting indoor and outdoor lighting and have written too many reviews of different products to link here. One of my favorites is the Twinkly series of app-controlled lights, like the Twinkly Strings. Twinkly is back at it, bringing new products to market. This time, it is indoor lighting with Twinkly Flex.
REVIEW – If you enjoy capturing video with your phone, then you should consider buying a gimbal. Gimbals help keep the footage stable when you’re walking around while filming. Some phones like the iPhone and Samsung Galaxy phones already have stabilization built-in, so maybe you think that a gimbal isn’t a necessary accessory for your
