X Sense SC01 W Smoke and Carbon Monoxide detector 13

REVIEW—From January to June 11, 2024 (Yep, this year, Gadgeteers), FEMA reported 1071 fire fatalities in the USA. I’m sorry to sound harsh; not having smoke and carbon monoxide detectors is reckless and stupid. If you don’t have them in your home, apartment, domicile, shack, barn, or shed, please get one like X-Sense’s updated SC01-W

POWERΛDD PRO 65W Laptop Power Bank review – Λdd power to your rechargeables

POWERADD 6

REVIEW – The POWERΛDD PRO 65W Laptop Power Bank is a convenient palm-full of power at an accessible price. It won’t overpower a briefcase, backpack or desktop with its weight or footprint. PowerΛdd puts ‘laptop’ in its name but it’ll charge phones, flashlights and other devices quickly as well. What is it? The POWERΛDD PRO

Smorobot poolvac 7

REVIEW – This is our seventh season with an inground pool and our fourth robovac — we love them for pool maintenance, but seem to go through them quickly. The homeowners got rid of our pool’s main drain, so we were told early on that a robovac, in addition to our pool skimmer, would be
