Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – Way back in 2014, I was introduced to Fugoo, a new Bluetooth speaker maker named after a Japanese blowfish. The portable Bluetooth speaker market was smaller than it is today—and with a few exceptions, the audio quality was not as good. It’s now 2021 and boy, have things changed. Speakers have gotten cheaper, […]
REVIEW – I’m a light sleeper, so small noises around the house tend to wake me up at night. To combat this problem, I’ve turned a fan on every night for years. Recently I’ve been trying something different to help me sleep at night, the White Noise Machine by ICETEK. What is it? The White

REVIEW – Even though I’m not traveling or even commuting to work, that doesn’t mean that my love of gear bags has gone away. Heck no! I’m always up for reviewing new bags and today I have a new one from WaterField Designs. It’s the Zoom crossbody laptop bag. I guess I can use it

REVIEW – I often like to drink a protein shake after I workout and getting my full-sized Ninja blender out of the cabinet each day is a little overkill to prepare one smoothie/shake. Being the minimalist that I am, I like appliances that are easy to use, easy to clean, and don’t take a lot

REVIEW – Gimbals started as a way to stabilize your video footage. However, today’s gimbals offer many more features than just stable video footage. The Moza Aircross2 gimbal stabilizer had some cool features that I just had to try out. What is it? The Aircross2 gimbal stabilizer is a camera stabilizer with up to 7lbs/3.2kg

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed quite a few wireless earbuds here at The Gadgeteer, and my quest to find the “perfect” earbuds for me continues onward. I’m looking for a pair of true wireless earbuds that are small, water-resistant, and stay put in my ears while working out. The ENACFIRE E90 Wireless Earbuds appear to check

REVIEW – Apple Watch is a great device for tracking health metrics and, when paired with apps like Strava, fantastic for logging cycling adventures. When it comes time to strap one on your wrist though, you’ll want to make sure that it stays there and it might as well look good while doing so. The

REVIEW – When I lived in Japan, I had the opportunity to use a bidet toilet seat similar to the Coway Bidetmega 150. Since then, I’ve been wondering why these have not become standard equipment everywhere! What is it? The Coway Bidetmega 150 is a toilet seat that is heated and provides warm-water washing and

REVIEW – I’ve been fascinated with bitplay for a while now. To date their cases have been focused on photography and use with their premium lenses. The Wander Case is a bit different and built for getting out and about. For most companies that means drop protection. While bitplay has drop protection covered well, they’ve

REVIEW – In pre-pandemic times I traveled quite a bit for work and pleasure with many of those trips being pretty minimalistic in what I took with me. Typically this “just what I need and not much else” travel-style included everything from my tech to my workout gear. I know I’m stating the obvious here,

REVIEW – I am a big fan of having multiple monitors attached to my laptop and desktop and I utilize them as an integral part of my workflow process. The only caveat in my master plan is when I am using my laptop on-the-go and need to take an extra monitor with me. What a

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Nomophobia is real. It’s the fear of being without a smartphone. Under 20% fear gnawing at your soul? Never fear! Harbor’s powerful 215-Watt Super battery is here! What is it? Harbor’s 215-watt battery is a portable power supply with two USB-A and two USB-C power sockets. Hardware Specs: Battery 26,800mAh battery capacity

REVIEW – Thanks to a virus (and shades of 2020) I lost a lot of my hearing on one side. Headphones and earbuds don’t provide much help for this condition – in order to get something akin to a stereo experience I have to crank the balance way over to the side and turn the

REVIEW – As I grow older, I love coffee more and more! However, I am definitely not a connoisseur of coffee and will usually finish any coffee beverage I am presented. Along with that, I do love the taste of a good espresso shot. I always assumed you needed a large and expensive machine to create

REVIEW – In recent times, homes and businesses have become much more secure primarily because almost everyone has a security camera or two or three that watch over their property. As this trend had grown, so has the sophistication of the security systems that are available for consumers. For this review, I will look at

REVIEW – About 2 months ago I decided to get an A1C test to check the status of my Type-2 diabetes. I knew that it would be elevated due to my work from home COVID eating habits. I was right. In 2019, my A1C was 5.7 and it has gone up to 5.9. I’m currently

REVIEW – I remember years ago when Blu-Ray players were new. In fact, I remember when Blu-Ray and HD DVD were battling it out in the marketplace, do you? Oh, the good ole days. I also remember how expensive they were. Holy smokes, the first players were like $1,000 each, and this was almost 15

REVIEW – Where I work, randomization and context-switching are the orders of the day. Sometimes it is hard to change your focus to a new task, and with age that only becomes more difficult. The science behind tDCS says that it can help with that, and more specifically, the LIFTiD headset says it will sharpen

REVIEW – Earlier this year I reviewed the Amazfit T-Rex smartwatch, and it was one of my favorites so far. Since then I also tried out a Ticwatch Pro 3 GPS Wear OS watch, which had better features overall but a much shorter battery life. Zepp (either a rebrand or sub-brand of Amazfit depending on

REVIEW – I’ve spent quite a bit of time in the out-of-doors, and the one thing that can take the enjoyment out of it is having cold feet. Whether it’s working around the yard or out taking photographs of wildlife in the winter, cold feet are the one thing that will make me cut short
