REVIEW – We’re all spending a lot more time at home than any of us thought possible at the turn of the year. For families and roommates, working from home means a juggling for a quiet space to take conference calls as well as realizing that your small laptop screen may not be enough for […]

REVIEW – Much of our modern life revolves around power. I have quite a few small portable chargers, but when the AUKEY USB C Power Bank came along, I thought that it would be a great chance to try out a large capacity portable charger. What is it? The AUKEY USB C Power Bank is

REVIEW – A few months ago, I reviewed the Roborock S4 robotic vacuum. To this day, I still marvel at it every time it goes about cleaning my house. It works great and has been reliable since day one. So, needless to say, I was more than happy when I got the chance to review

REVIEW – I have reviewed quite a few drones over the years and although I wouldn’t call myself an expert by any stretch of the imagination, I do know what to look for in a good one. So with that in mind, let’s take a look at the Holystone HS165 Foldable FPV Drone with GPS.

REVIEW – I’ve been looking for backup camera solutions for my Suburban and for our Subaru Forrester for many months and had been looking for something that didn’t require yet another wiring project (even a minor one). I am hoping that the Auto-Vox Solar Wireless Digital Reversing System will be the perfect solution. What is

REVIEW – In these surreal times of the COVID-19 pandemic, staying at home while practicing social distancing requires families to do things together more than ever. One of the ways to promote togetherness is to build something. But what if—like me—you’ve never made anything? In all the years I’ve reviewed portable Bluetooth speakers, all I’ve

REVIEW – For many years I have been a casual coffee drinker, but over the past 3 years I have become used to having 2 or 3 refills of my large mug every day at work from Monday to Friday. French Vanilla has become my favorite flavor, and I like my coffee strong/bold and for

REVIEW – I have a 2019 Ford Mustang that supports Apple’s CarPlay. It’s fabulous. Once I plug in my phone, I can navigate with Apple Maps, send texts, and answer calls without ever having to touch my phone. I also have a 2016 Toyota RAV4. While I love the car, it doesn’t support CarPlay, which

REVIEW – It’s been a long while since I’ve needed a portable charger, but as my phone gets older, the battery is starting to wear down. Since I have wireless charging, I figured that the best option for a power bank would be one that supports it. Mophie has been a solid manufacturer of power

REVIEW – Knowing how germy my phone can be, I have been eyeing the PhoneSoap products for over a year now, so I was really excited to review one of them recently – the PhoneSoap Go. The PhoneSoap Go uses ultraviolet type-C (UVC) light to disinfect cell phones and also has a built-in battery to

REVIEW – Today everyone is very reliant on their technology for everyday tasks. A single smartphone now replaces multiple devices which increases our use but drains the battery. This is where the Fiora Ultimate Wireless Charger line is extremely useful. Available in both a car and desktop versions, Fiora has you charging both on the

REVIEW – This is my pooch. Her name is Lani, and she can be hairy. And that is a Lilly Brush Mini Pet Hair Detailer. It’s designed to remove said hairs from couches, fabrics, and whatnot. Lani vs. Lilly. Epic hair battle. Who wins? To the review! What is it? It’s a pet hair remover,

REVIEW – The Voamoko PD-016PT USB -C PD3.0+QC3.0 Quick Charger (say that three times fast, heck say it once without getting tongue-tied), is a lot of power in a small package providing up to 90 W (maximum combined power output) to keep your devices powered. What is it? The PD-016PT (hereafter referred to as “the

REVIEW – I’ve had a case on my iPhone going all the way back to my iPhone 3GS. Not only does a case provide some measure of protection from bumps and scratches, but it also allows you to express your individual style. I’ve run the gamut from uber-protective, Iron Man armor type cases to ultra-minimalist,

REVIEW – In my opinion, pens are like money, you can never have enough! I feel the same way about EDC Gear, so a pen that is worthy enough to become part of my EDC is definitely worth taking a look at. Today I want to show you the keychain pen from Arrow & Eaves.

REVIEW – Senstroke connected drumsticks lets drummers play, record and learn from anywhere. What is it? These drumsticks have sensors that allow you to rock out, even during a global pandemic and quarantine. Using the Senstroke app and your connected device, you can customize your virtual drum kit. There are even foot pedal sensors to

REVIEW – We currently have a single flashlight in our household. It is rechargeable and has a nice base that it plugs into while waiting to be used. On the rare occasions where I do need a flashlight, I often find myself competing with the spousal unit (old Saturday Night Live Coneheads reference!) as to

REVIEW – Most everyone whose work involves sitting at a desk (many in a home office during these challenging times) uses an office chair. But does anyone pay attention to what the chair sits on? Up until now, my home office chair has rolled around on one of those plastic mats that acquire dents when

The Crossrope is a jump rope system that combines excellent design, different levels of weighted ropes, and a fantastic app to satisfy experienced jumpers and newbies like me.

REVIEW – When you think about cordless vacuums, what brand comes to mind? For me, it’s Dyson. The Dyson stick vacuums pretty much set the standard for cordless suction, provided your needs are mostly cleaning larger areas. Even with the shorter attachments, wiggling a Dyson into the nooks and crannies of your car, or even
