Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – I have reviewed several e-bikes for The Gadgeteer and, in doing so, have found a new hobby. Each one has been different in some way from the last. Different-sized wheels. More or less powerful motors. Rear-drive or mid-drive motor. 1, 2, or 3 batteries. So many options. Another interest of mine would be […]

REVIEW – I love that companies are developing a variety of hobby 3D printers for makers. Being able to bring my ideas to life is amazing! PioCreat is a subsidiary of Creality and recently completed a successful Kickstarter campaign for their new HALOT-X1 resin 3D printer, and I was given the opportunity to review it,
REVIEW – We do a lot of stuff on our phones. Even non-gadget folks are nearly joined bio-mechanically to these slabs of glass, silicon, and metal.

REVIEW – Hey folks! It’s me again with another keyboard review. This time it’s the VARMILO Minilo75 HE. I’ve been wanting to try a Varmilo keyboard for quite some time now.

REVIEW – I have a relatively small yard so I was looking at retiring my old gas mower and getting a battery powered one when Toro asked me to review their new 60V Toro 30” eTimeMaster mower. Their 60V battery line has over 75 compatible tools so I was eager to try it out and
REVIEW – There are a wide variety of laser engravers and tools out on the market today. Many of them are built on very similar frameworks and are difficult to distinguish one from another. The AlgoLaser Pixi Smart Laser Engraver is definitely not in that camp. It is a small, boxy laser engraver with a

REVIEW – I’m not a girly girl, and I don’t call my gear bag a purse because…ick. 🙂 I prefer a simple crossbody style bag that isn’t too flashy, has enough pockets, slots, and ways to organize my EDC without being too bulky. Allett, known for their super thin wallets, has a new collection of

REVIEW – I have a couple of hobbies that I participate in that tend to take me off the cellular phone grid. I love to hike, and I love to ride motorcycles. Both activities tend to occur in the Texas Hill Country, north of San Antonio and West of Austin. I always tell my husband

REVIEW – It is almost impossible to go a day without needing to plug something in. Unfortunately, this makes it very inconvenient when you’re planning something that needs electricity, and there isn’t any available. The GRECELL 240W portable power station takes away the inconvenience. Camping, traveling, and long days of going to your children’s extracurricular

REVIEW – I used to have a job that required a dress shirt and a suit every day. Well, I still have that same job, but since going fully remote, I don’t have to dress up in a monkey suit anymore. So, ironing shirts and pants is not something I have had to do in
REVIEW – I’m a little (ok, a lot) obsessed with seeing what’s going on at my house/property when I’m home and when I’m away. Some areas of my property aren’t within WiFi coverage, so when the offer to review the Elysoo 4G LTE security camera came in, I was happy to accept it. Let’s set

REVIEW – When it comes to EDC, my setup has to include a wallet, a flashlight, a knife or multi-tool, a notebook, and a pen. I tend to look for mini versions of each of these items because I don’t like bulk. So when the opportunity to review the OCASO Titanium Mini Pen came up,
