REVIEW – Lately, I have been looking for ways to spend more time outdoors with my family, especially when opportunities arise to enjoy nature. One of the plans is camping trips so the plan must include portable power sources for charging cellphones and other devices. Also, I need to be able to use my CPAP […]

REVIEW – In an attempt to find the perfect little workstation for my personal projects, I’m always up to test the various offerings that come up for review here on the Gadgeteer.

REVIEW – Last June (2024), I reviewed the excellent Huion Kamvas Pro 27 graphics display. It’s big, has a beautiful 4K screen, and it’s expensive at $2,000. However, if that price is a budget buster, there are two good choices available from Huion—the Huion Kamvas Pro 24 (4K) or the new Kamvas Pro 19—this review.

REVIEW – Wireless CarPlay debuted in 2017 and wireless Android Auto came out in 2019 but not all cars support wireless protocol.

REVIEW – An Amazon search for “robot vacuum” yields an insane10,000+ results. My first was a Dyson 360 Eye in 2016. Since then, I’ve had at least two patrolling my house, gathering the flotsam and jetsam my family, pets, guests, and the wind leaves behind. I don’t know what I would do without them! My

REVIEW – If the discontinuation of the Kindle Oasis has you bummed out, the folks at BOOX have you covered with the new Go Color 7. This new color ePaper tablet has physical page turn buttons and the latest generation Kaleido 3 color display, all tucked into a seven inch eReader. What is it? The

REVIEW – I have a few Social Media channels, and lately I have frequently been recording videos outdoors or in my newly constructed gym. I have been using my OnePlus Android phone and find that using a wireless mic and not relying on the phone’s built-in mic is a good idea. I have always been

REVIEW – In my role as a Gadgeteer, I get to review different gadgets that require or benefit from being connected to a PC, whether through a USB connection or a wireless connection. My “personal” PC is a work-issued laptop that sometimes gets the job done for work but certainly isn’t the workhorse I crave.

REVIEW – If you’ve ever driven a 500+ horsepower car, you know that you’re a sneeze away from a dangerous and/or expensive wreck without skill and concentration. A few years ago I spun out a rented Dodge Challenger with a track kit on the streets of Las Vegas and luckily all I damaged was my

REVIEW – I reviewed JMGO’s N1 Ultra triple laser projector and was thrilled with the performance! Andy Chen reviewed the N1S Ultra (here), and Julian Perry reviewed their N1 Pro (here).

REVIEW – We’ve dabbled a little in home brewing but our results were not consistent. And what’s worse than spending time and money and then waiting months for a beer that’s just meh? When we saw this, it seemed like an almost guaranteed way to get (fast!) results. Like a bread machine for beer! We

REVIEW—My brain short circuits when considering the love/hate relationship with my juicer. Why such emotion for a kitchen appliance? It’s a pain to clean, prompting me to look at the Hurom H70 Easy Clean Slow Juicer. Can it alter my perceptions of kitchen reality? Oh, gosh! I sure hope so! What is it? The Hurom

REVIEW – I exercise a lot outdoors, alone. That gives me an opportunity to listen to music, podcasts, and audio books, which I absolutely love. But running and riding bikes on streets with cars can be a bit dangerous, even more so when you can’t hear those cars coming. My “go-to” ear buds for my

REVIEW – My home office/studio is quite packed with equipment that includes multiple large EcoFlow power stations, several computers and monitors, and the network rack with the switches, security DVRs, etc. I am never worried during the NY winters because the equipment remains relatively cool. Still, during the summer, and especially this summer, the room

REVIEW – In the last year I’ve picked up 3D printing on a filament printer as a new hobby. I’ve printed fidget toys, dragons, idea prototyping, and even some theater props and gone through several kilos of filament in the process. One of the issues I’ve seen, especially when printing large pieces, is running out

REVIEW – Mowing our lawn on a set schedule has proven to be a challenge with our busy lives and we’re too cheap to pay people to mow our small lawn. I’ve been eyeing robot lawnmowers for a while now thinking they may help with our problem. However, do they cut grass as well as

REVIEW – 2024 could be considered the year of the smart ring. While smart rings have been on the market for several years, this is the year that their popularity skyrocketed.
