REVIEW – Sometimes it can be hard to get up in the morning. Anything that can help you get up and start your day off better is a good thing. One thing that can help is an alarm clock that wakes you up with soothing sounds and gradually increasing light levels, as if the sun […]

REVIEW – When it comes to my everyday gear bag, I prefer a messenger style bag. They just feel more comfortable to me than a backpack to both carry and use. About four and a half years ago, I reviewed the original Peak Design Everyday Messenger Bag. I ended up using that bag on and

REVIEW – If you’re a regular reader of The Gadgeteer, you know that we are regularly offered robotic vacuums to review. Everyone and their cousin seem to be making robotic vacuums. Many seem to suck, and not in a good way. We have carpet in our bedrooms and hard flooring in the rest of the

REVIEW – I really like connecting to external monitors when jumping into a project or researching anything that requires multiple windows being open. I don’t like connecting multiple cables to make that happen, so a good hub, dock or adapter is required for USB-C laptops. Aukey has a newer hub aimed at that exact problem

REVIEW – Wisconsin winters are notoriously cold with wind chills below zero and enough snow to bury a polar bear. With the lack of moisture in the air, your skin becomes dry and chapped. One of the best ways to help alleviate dry cracked skin in the winter is to increase the humidity. Levoit classic

REVIEW – After reviewing several earbuds over the past couple of years, I now tend to look for something different and/or intriguing about a pair of earbuds before I show interest in reviewing them. After quite a long delay, I finally got my hands on the Apple Airpods, and these days I am on the

REVIEW – The Zendure X5 is not just another portable battery pack. There are hundreds of external battery charger options available so finding one that’s worth your money can be a challenge. I’m always looking for extra features beyond the basic charging capabilities that every other battery pack offers. On this front, the Zendure delivers,

REVIEW – iPads are great devices, and the Apple Pencil really adds functionality for many, but carrying both items around can be tough. STM (Smarter Than Most), the venerable bag and case maker, has come up with a new option to address both issues: the STM DUX series. This is a mil-spec one piece case

REVIEW – We have been homeowners for long enough to have paid off two different houses. This means we have spent way too much time under the house doing some type of home-ownerly task that usually involves wearing knee pads and headlamps. Whether it’s checking out what the plumber said they did, re-routing the dryer

REVIEW – Back when your computer came with a horrible native sound system, the name to beat for a replacement sound cards was the SoundBlaster series by Creative Labs. If you played any games or watched movies (as best you could) on your computer in the late 80’s, odds are you had the SoundBlaster 1.0.

REVIEW – Over the past couple of years, I have been able to test and review a few types of devices that claim to enhance sleep quality, relaxation quality, etc, With the exception of one sleep device that I use, the rest, in my opinion, have been complete and utter failures and yet carry pretty

REVIEW – If you’re the owner of a smartphone, Apple Watch and wireless headphones, you’ve probably got a jumble of charging cables or wireless pads on your nightstand or desktop. I’ve tried a mix of cables and wireless pads but it still becomes a bit of a mess. Now the Logitech Powered 3-in-1 Charging Dock

REVIEW – We recently did a complete remodel of the upper level of our house, but even though it’s been done for several months, we have yet to hang any artwork back on the walls. Why? We’re mainly afraid that we’ll make a mistake getting multiple framed art pieces to line up. That’s where a
REVIEW – I have a home-built PC on which I do my gaming. Most of my competitive games are multiplayer games that I play online, and my audio is through a headset. Some of my casual games, however, are single-player, and for them I prefer to run my audio through speakers. Unfortunately, I never bought

REVIEW – I have reviewed several air filters over the past few months. I have come to find that a big part of getting the right air filter is getting one correctly sized for the room you are filtering. It also matters as to what types of things you are trying to filter out of

The Matrix Industries PowerWatch

REVIEW – Some items are very much personal choices: phone cases, shoulder bags, etc. The fit/feel/function just has to line up on all counts for something to fit one’s routine. I have family members who are hard on their phones, and opt for thickness, cushion, and protection in their phone case selection. Other colleagues
