REVIEW—I love using Android Auto in my car. I use it to listen to Audible books, take phone calls, and use Google Maps. In the past year or so, I have seen devices you can add to your car to allow Android Auto or Apple CarPlay for older autos without that newer technology. Well, now […]

REVIEW – I’ve previously reviewed one eBike, but wanted an eBike that I could haul some cargo. The Fiido T2 Longtail Cargo eBike came along for review and I was intrigued by the cargo capacity and the form factor of the Fiido T2 Longtail so figured I would give it a try. What is it?

REVIEW – I’ve had the same chair since 2020, when everyone worked from home. The fabric seat is stained from sweat during the summer months, and there’s no headrest.

REVIEW—I have reviewed several different car dash cameras over the years, but I am always on the lookout for a better camera. I requested to review the Viofo A229 Pro camera because it offered 4K recording on an SD card. I did not enjoy my experience with the Nexar One Dash Cam because it stored

REVIEW – Last summer I installed a Gazebo in our backyard and had a good summer outdoors. However, on the sweltering days, I had to bring a fan outdoors and sometimes I did not want to set up the inverter that I use outdoors to power a fan. It would be great if someone made

REVIEW – I’ve always loved the idea of lounging in a hammock on the patio next to our backyard pool. I’ve been looking at hammock stands to do just that — but I don’t want anything bulky or difficult to assemble/disassemble. Anymaka advertises that it only takes three seconds to put this stand together, so

REVIEW – For the majority of my tree-trimming needs (I have a lot of trees), I rely on my trusty EGO EGO POWER + 18 in. chainsaw. This thing is a beast. However, It’s also overkill for smaller branches too large for a manual lopper. For those in-between jobs, there’s the IMOUMLIVE Brushless 6-Inch Mini

REVIEW – Doctor’s appointments, important meetings, and important calls are why a good voice recorder is useful. Sure, you can use your phone’s built-in voice recorder, but a dedicated device with long battery life and built-in voice-to-text transcription could be a better option. Let’s see if the iFLYTEK Smart Voice Recorder is just that. What

REVIEW – Here we go again with me and my obsession with wireless mic systems. I have now tested and even used several for various recording scenarios.

REVIEW – Low-profile keyboards seem to be the current rage in the mechanical keyboard scene at the moment, and I think Lofree may have just cornered the market.

REVIEW – I’ve been interested in reviewing small knives lately in anticipation of finding my new favorite box opening tool. My criteria for a perfect box opener are small size, ease of use, and ease of changing blades.

REVIEW – At the beginning of the year, I reviewed the TerraMaster D6-320 6-bay external hard disk enclosure. I may be slow, but it was the first hard drive enclosure I’ve ever used.

REVIEW — In March 2023, northwesterly winds pushed Canadian wildfire smoke into my corner of the world. It was an eye-watering, cough-inducing house party reminiscent of the COVID quarantine days. It was no fun and downright dangerous for people with breathing and allergy issues. How can we stifle the smoke? Give the PurO²xygen P500i HEPA
