Scotts Gro 10

REVIEW – It is forecasted to be hotter and drier than normal through fall across the lower 48. This means that residents should water conservatively. The Scotts Gro 7 is a smart sprinkler controller that can precisely control the watering schedule and use local weather to water intelligently. Read on to see what I think!

Electrohome Kingston 7in1 01

REVIEW – Over the past few years, my younger son has developed an interest in jazz, both as a musician and as an enthusiast. He has been collecting vinyl records and has been, in his words, “slumming it” with my vintage turntable and a dedicated phonographic amp and Bluetooth transmitter (I keep trying to explain

REVIEW – What’s something on your bucket list that you can tackle without traveling? What’s that? You said you’d learn to play guitar, bass or ukulele? Well, Fender’s Play app can help you cross that one off in whatever time increments you can devote. Fender was gracious enough to not only give us access to

REVIEW – I love my robot vacuum.  Specifically, it is an Ecovacs Deebot OZMO T8 AIVI that I reviewed in June 2020. What I don’t like is how often I have to empty the teeny, tiny dustbin that all robot vacuums have. If only there was a way to not have to empty that dustbin

REVIEW – If you’re a regular reader, you already know that I love my Ecovacs Deebot OZMO T8 AIVI robot vacuum, even though it’s named like a Terminator and comes with lasers.  I love how well it vacuums and while I wasn’t initially impressed with the mopping, after using it for a while, I’ve determined

REVIEW – Recently, Indiana passed a stricter hands-free law making it illegal to hold your cell phone while driving.  Knowing that although I am very safe when it comes to not using my phone while driving, there are times when I’m using GPS or other apps that I do hold my phone.  To remove the temptation of

fantom r10wallet review 1

REVIEW – As much as I love tech and gadgets, one thing I have yet to modernize is my wallet. I still use an old leather bi-fold that I got on a clearance rack several years ago. It has served me well, but it has seen better days, a perfect time for an upgrade. I

REVIEW – If you’re of a certain age, like me, you remember the first TV remote control – it was you. Your parent would tell you to get up and go change the channel to one of the other two that your TV received.  Then, TVs started coming with Infrared (IR) remote controls, giving you

REVIEW – I’ve been using Wyze’s incredibly inexpensive and equally incredibly popular cameras since the beginning and like so many people, I’ve been waiting for them to release a wire-free outdoor camera. Well, now it’s 3 years after they first came on the scene with their $19.99 camera and they have a new Wyze Cam

REVIEW – Why would you want to carry around the big charger that arrived in the box with your laptop when there’s a smaller, lighter, faster option that has an extra port for charging something else? I don’t know either. Let’s look at the Hyppr Sonic 100w GaN charger and see if it stacks up
