REVIEW – When I was young I always remembered this inexpensive, orange-handled metal detector in the Radio Shack catalogs. Never got one. I’ve quietly wondered how well these things work. I finally got my chance with the Sakobs GC1032 metal detector. The hunt is on! What is it? The Sakobs GC1032 is a portable metal

REVIEW – In an engineering feat, the Creative SXFI TRIO Earbuds manages to pack an entire 7.1 surround sound system — or at least the impression of one — into a tiny package. What is it?

REVIEW – There are many types of gear that photographers and videographers use to capture different types of scenes and footage. One such device is a slider that can be used for great video, including time-lapse footage, video with movement and interest, etc. Over the years, I have purchased 2 quite expensive motorized sliders that

REVIEW – I am a terrible sleeper. As far back as I can remember, I’ve used all manner of audio devices to help me relax, quiet outside disruptions, and get my mind off the day’s events. I was happy to give SleepPhones a place in my bed to see if they could enhance my slumber.

REVIEW – Friends, the last pepper from my summer garden is about to be sacrificed. We’re testing Artisan Revere’s new Paring Knife, a companion to their superb Chef’s Knife that I reviewed last year. Oh sweet pepper… we barely knew ye. To the review! What is it? It’s a paring knife hand made in the

REVIEW – The charger battle in my home has heated up. I’m finally collecting more gadgets that accept USB-C plugs. However, I’m stuck with the tiny ones that come packed in the box. Zendure’s SuperPort Gallium Nitride (GaN) chargers just might be my ticket to charging heaven. What is it? The Zendure SuperPort S2 is

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Ok, I admit it – I’m a neat freak. I like my house clean, and strive to keep it that way. SWDK’s Handy-Mopper Robot which is currently seeking funding on Indiegogo, is one of these products that I just couldn’t pass up! Let’s see if Indiegogo’s claim of “The most efficient deep

REVIEW – I live in New York near the ocean or as some may say at the water’s edge. It is very normal for me to experience power outages during any storm in any season. Years ago during Hurricane Sandy, I spent 14 days in the dark, and it was a hand-crank radio that I

REVIEW – Winter will be here soon enough, but right now we’re still having days in the high 80s F here and other areas of the country are over 120 degrees F. Brutal! I would seriously melt if we didn’t have central air in my home. But even though we do, the upstairs bonus room

REVIEW – Still thinking all power banks are the same. I can’t say that beyond the adage “the best powerbank is the one you have with you” I haven’t also found most of them to be pretty darn similar other than form and maybe a unique feature. Well, Real Graphene’s new G-Lite 60 Power Bank

REVIEW – For the past few years I have purchased and tried several wallets all in an effort to find a small, compact, and easy to access wallet that could carry enough of my various credit cards and cash. About a year ago I was certain I found the right one until one day when

REVIEW – The ONSON A10 Pro cordless vacuum works great for everyday use, especially on hard floors and for light messes, such as crumbs and dog hair. It’s very useful for corners, tight spots and stairs. However, on carpet and for larger clean-ups, you’ll want something more powerful. What is it? A battery-powered cordless vacuum

REVIEW – It now feels like forever since the COVID-19 outbreak and just as long since I have been spending the majority of my time indoors. Prior to the pandemic, I was walking at least 10 miles weekly and had lost about 35 pounds making me trim and fit. However, sitting at my desk for
