REVIEW – There are so many small Bluetooth speakers available, it’s hard to not say to yourself, “Oh, screw it!”, and buy the first one that sells for what you want to spend. That kind of thinking could be a mistake because there is a lot of good to great speakers selling at good to […]

REVIEW – At some point in the past and future, we were and will be digital nomads. In that future time, we will need tools to keep our gadgets charged and connected. Pitaka has released a Travel Kit into their MagEZ line of products to make these tasks much easier. I look forward to our

REVIEW – I’m a pre-diabetic and you might be one too and not even know it. Diabetes is a disease where a high level of sugar/glucose is circulating through your bloodstream. The problem is that you may not notice any major symptoms until damage to your heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, etc has already started happening.

REVIEW – If you thought Fluidstance didn’t have further tricks up their sleeves for ways to optimize your workspace, think again. This time they’ve introduced Lift, a powder-coated steel laptop stand that integrates a whiteboard. I previously reviewed and really liked Slope (their angled whiteboard that sits in front of a monitor) and was excited

REVIEW – In addition to working from home, COVID has caused many of us to take matters into our own hands (literally) when it comes to getting our hair cut. I don’t enjoy getting my hair cut because I’m cheap and don’t like paying $20 + tip more for a haircut that takes less than 15

REVIEW – I love a good digital picture frame. I mean, other than using my photos as my screensaver, I don’t see them otherwise. Unfortunately, a “good” digital picture frame is kind of hard to find if my experience is anything to go by. I seem to have a knack for finding the frames that

REVIEW – When Apple announced MagSafe for the iPhone 12 series they mentioned that more 3rd party cases would be following in the coming months. They’ve finally started to trickle out and I couldn’t help but wonder how some of these might compare to Apple’s own cases. Nomad Goods has updated their Rugged Case and

REVIEW – Computer programming is often hard for young students to appreciate with abstract assignments. It is also historically less compelling for girls because of stereotypes and influence from peers. The imagiLabs imagiCharm is a fashion accessory that makes Python programming tangible and sharable. I have one to review. Read on to see what I think!

REVIEW – What features do you like your EDC flashlight to have? Do you want it to be rechargeable? Want a display that tells you how long the battery will last at each brightness level? Want it to be brighter than the sun? The Nitecore T4K might not be quite as bright as the sun,

REVIEW: Lacking ports on your portable? Friends with certain brands tell me they wish there were more attachment options in their laptops. Around here the PC laptop has plenty of ports but who wants to plug every single thing in, every time you sit down to compute? The OWC USB-C Travel Dock E is a

REVIEW – In my never-ending quest to remove all of the dog fur from my floors and furniture, I am always on the lookout for vacuum cleaners. We have a really nice Dyson V10 Absolute cordless stick vacuum that is great. It has all sorts of attachments and will work for a really long time

REVIEW – Battery packs are everywhere these days. With all the electronics that power our daily lives, portable battery packs help keep us up and running while we’re out and about.

REVIEW – Ever since I moved into my new office/studio space, I have been looking for a couple of digital electronic locks to secure the main door to my space and to secure an equipment closet. The first couple of locks that I tested were not quite what I was looking for either because they

REVIEW – Over the years, my wife and I have tried a variety of different materials for sheets and pillowcases, including cotton, flannel, satin, silk, and microfiber. All have their place. Some are warmer, and some are cooler. Some are rougher, and others are smoother. For the past three weeks my wife and I have

REVIEW – Here at The Gadgeteer, we review a lot of vacuums. Stick vacuums, robot vacuums – they all do the same thing. They suck – but in a good way! I had the opportunity to review a different kind of vacuum – the Anova Precision Pro food sealer vacuum. Let’s see if this sucks

REVIEW – Not too long ago, I was fortunate enough to set to review the LiTHELi cordless battery-powered chainsaw and it turned out to be a fantastic product. Once again, good fortune has provided me with the opportunity to test and review another cordless battery-powered tool. It is the LiTHELi 40V Cordless Pole Saw. Let’s

REVIEW – Four years ago (has it been 4 years?), I reviewed the Audioengine HD3 speakers. In that review, I said that the HD3 speakers were better than Audioengine’s much more expensive HD6 speakers when placed on a computer desk. I noted that the Audioengie HD6 speakers were overkill for what is termed “near-field listening”.

REVIEW – What is one thing that everyone needs in their EDC gear collection? A flashlight! Do you have a favorite EDC flashlight? Say goodbye to it, because you’re going to be putting it in a drawer very soon. That’s because Olight has just released their Baton 3 Premium Edition and it’s something special. Let’s

REVIEW – We all have them: those surge protectors that either have a mile of extra cord to manage, or that are just short of reaching the outlet you want to plug into. Aracky’s SuperDanny Spin Tower solves both of these problems worth a neat, elegant solution. Let’s dive in! What is it? Vertical power

REVIEW – It’s a lazy Saturday morning, catching up on some Godzilla films (as one does). I’ve got these Strauss & Wagner EM205 Earbuds to test out with my old-school audio inputs on my iPad. Sometimes simple solutions to simple problems just work best. To the review! What is it? They’re earphones with a standard
