Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – I’ve been wearing varying models of Fitbit for over a decade now and have always appreciated having access to basic fitness information such as my steps, heart rate, and sleep patterns. One piece of information I have not had access too, though, was more details about my blood pressure and any fluctuations in […]

REVIEW – Everyone loves to grill, right? Or at least everyone enjoys the results of someone else grilling. The thought of barbecuing on a weekend or holiday can bring up all kinds of memories. My childhood is complete with my father using charcoal (no one used gas back then) in an old, rusted grill cooking
REVIEW – A few months back, I reviewed Titaner’s TiSpanner 2.0, a neat little EDC tool. I loved it and had only one wish: “I want one about 3X larger for bigger projects!” It seems the Gadget Goddesses were listening and have granted my wish—almost. The Titaner TiSpanner 3.0 is larger and more capable, but

REVIEW – I never thought I would be a “cat guy,” but I’ve had Mini for 17 years and loved it, apart from hair everywhere and scooping poop. I’ve used several automated litterboxes and thought the Neakasa M1 was a solid design. Was I right? Please join me for a closer look. ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons)

REVIEW – As my collection of 3D printers grows, it’s become increasingly difficult to choose which ones remain in constant service and which are relegated only to special projects. Currently, two Elegoo printers have risen to the top and secured prime spots in my workshop. One is the Elegoo Saturn 4 Ultra Resin printer, which
REVIEW -I’m primarily a Mac user, but I do use Windows for work and am familiar with both operating systems and hardware. My work Windows system is locked down, and I don’t want to have any personal data on it, so I wasn’t sure how a Windows mini PC would fit in with my other

REVIEW – The price of food being what it is these days has had our family of four re-thinking how we plan for road trips. Planning meals in advance and packing healthy food can be a challenge without proper cold storage, so I was excited for this opportunity to review Anker’s latest portable, iceless cooler

REVIEW — My husband has been wanting a record player for ages. I thought the idea was kind of silly (we have Spotify!), though I know that much of his interest is nostalgic. When I saw this set, it was a beautiful piece that fits the style of our home and includes speakers that easily

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a lot of earphones and earbuds (still can’t tell the difference), but I’ve only recently discovered earbuds that don’t go in the ear. This newer open-ear approach lets the earbud sit just outside the ear. It’s like a cross between a true earphone and an older Walkman-type foam headphone, like the
REVIEW – Eye massagers aren’t for everyone, but as readers know, I’m a huge fan of sleep masks. I also suffer from migraines, so I wondered if an eye massager would be my cup of tea and maybe help with my headaches. The Bob and Brad EyeOasis 2 combines several things I like: a light

REVIEW – In 2023, I tested and reviewed the Waterdrop WD-A1 Countertop Reverse Osmosis System. Although I loved the system, I had no idea that it would become the go-to source of drinking water in my home and that the kids would use it so much that they behaved like they could not do without

REVIEW – In today’s fast-paced world, having the right tools at your fingertips can make all the difference—especially when it comes to printing on the go. Whether you’re a remote worker or someone who occasionally needs to print without being tied to a desk—like me—a portable printer can be a game changer. Enter the opportunity to

REVIEW – Over the past 4 years, I have worked on and completed more projects around the home than I can remember. Some were small projects and others were bigger projects like rebuilding my deck and deck rails, building a gym and workshop in my garage, and remodeling my basement, including a laundry room, a

REVIEW – Drinking your food has become a passion recently. Smoothies are the new fad for quick, frequently nutritious, usually fruity beverages. The folks at TopZee offered us their latest take on this, their EasyGo blender, and I have been playing with it for a bit. Let’s see the options and find out if it

REVIEW – I think Gen X and some Millenials are the last generations to own physical photos (I’m excluding those photos that you hang on the wall). I have about 5000+ old photos and have been dreading digitizing them. Sending them to a company to digitize all of them is too expensive and I worry
REVIEW – Who says pens can’t be fun and functional? The Falter 2D pen kit isn’t just a writing tool. It’s a DIY project that lets you assemble your own pen in easy steps without special tools. Designed by Albert Ebenbichler for Parafernalia, this Italian-made pen has a sleek design. But is it more than

REVIEW – I have a few portable speakers, including a small, black one that I use in the garage, a round, cylindrical black speaker in the back room, and an over-the-top giant speaker from Costco that’s mostly black. What caught my eye about the Xinborry M10Pro Bluetooth Speaker was its design. It looked like something

REVIEW – When offers come in to review mechanical keyboards, I am always interested, so when I received the offer to review the NuPhy Kick75 mechanical keyboard, I had to check it out and when I did, I knew I would want to review it based on the look and the fact that it offers
NuPhy Kick75 mechanical keyboard review – Go low or high, it’s up to you (kinda) Read More
REVIEW – Have traditional tape measures run their course, and do they need improvement? Although I wasn’t entirely convinced, the folks at REEKON Tools have convinced me otherwise. I’ve been a semi-professional woodworker for quite a few years (making some side cash on woodworking makes me a semi-professional, right?) Anyway, every project I have worked

REVIEW – I have always been a lover of reading. From graphic novels, to romance, to action adventure, fantasy, or anything in between. It doesn’t matter if it’s a hard copy or digital copy. I. Love. Reading. My husband discovered my love of reading after our first move, And he had to pack and haul
