Techvilla Oscillating Ceramic Heater review

Techvilla Space Heater 14

REVIEW – When it comes to my family, it seems like every member has a different heat/cold tolerance and that we can hardly ever agree on what temperature feels comfortable. For this reason, we tend to use several personal heating or cooling items so that we can each remain comfortable without adversely affecting each other. […]

freestyle libre 14 1

REVIEW – All diabetics know that they have to keep an eye on their blood glucose levels. They can do this with a blood glucose meter which requires a finger stick to draw a drop of blood. You can imagine how much of a hassle and pain it is to use this method several times

Satechi 100w USB-C PD Compact GaN Charger review

SCGC 01

REVIEW – Laptop chargers can be annoying. They’re usually larger than you’d like and if not they are either proprietary or have a single USB-C cable or port for your laptop. What if I told you it doesn’t have to be that way? That’s Satechi’s approach with their 100w USB-C PD Compact GaN Charger. Sound

REVIEW – Have you ever tried to inflate an air mattress or pool toy by mouth? Yes, it gets exhausting. I’ve been using inflatable camping pads for a few years, which I prefer over the foam ones. However, inflating a pad after a day of hiking or at altitude isn’t very fun. GIGA Pump 2.0

Pictar Home Studio Pro Kit review – iPhone photography as simple or as complicated as you want it to be

Pictar Kit 15

REVIEW – It’s no secret that smartphone photography is killing the camera business—at least the point-and-shoot cameras. DSLR cameras used by professional and serious amateur photographers will never go away, but companies like Pictar are trying to lure the DSLR fan into smartphone photography by providing apps and gadgets to make the smartphone (in this
