Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – My first foray into the heady world of scanning and digitizing was way back in the 2000s when I found a Visioneer USB flatbed scanner at Big Lots on clearance. I’ve always loved scanners and photocopiers. The ability to rapidly duplicate printed (and other!) things on demand is an amazing feat of modern […]

REVIEW – If you’ve been 3D printing at all, you’ve hopefully been able to get everything all dialed in and have some awesome success with prints… Only to have them inexplicably start to not come out okay, usually after a couple of weeks (or longer). That’s where a filament dryer can come in quite handy.

REVIEW – One thing I love about reviewing gadgets is trying something that looks new or unique and seeing how it holds up. One that came up recently was the SoundPeats PearlClip Pro earbuds, which use a different mechanism to stay in your ear than any other earbud I’ve tried before. Essentially, it’s a ring

REVIEW – The Brunt Scott Jacket is pretty tough. It will bear the brunt of your career or casual pursuits. Wind nor water can get through it. Even though it’s waist length, it performed well in my winter temps. I think the Scott jacket style would be right for chores around your property, as weekend

REVIEW – I have yet to find a female friend who is happy with the state of their hair. It is either too curly or too straight. The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence. My hair has always been very fine and very straight. I have to wash my hair

REVIEW – I sold my Macbook and went all in using an iPad Pro 11″ as my main machine. It’s been a good transition, often causing me to come up with some creative ways to re-do my workflow. I love the portability and “spontaneous-ness” of using the iPad. Still, often I’m concerned about scratching or

REVIEW – With everyone in my family riding bikes these days, there will come a time when one of us needs to leave our bike unattended. Without the proper lock or deterrent, risk the chance of someone stealing the bike. Bike and e-bike theft is rampant, and protection can no longer be an afterthought. Enter

REVIEW – I prefer using a utility knife for slicing through packing tape when opening boxes vs. using a nice pocket knife. It’s so much easier and more convenient to replace a worn utility blade than having to clean sticky tape residue off a regular knife blade. When OKNIFE (a sub-brand of OLIGHT) asked if

REVIEW – In line with the slew of New Year’s resolutions I’ve committed to, I’ve begun adding regular physical activity to my daily routine. As challenging as this can be for a self-identified couch potato, I’ve already seen some very encouraging results. One new routine I’ve incorporated into my workday, which I actually enjoy, has

REVIEW – The Gadgeteer is no stranger to keyboard reviews. The keyboard up for review today is from a maker that I reviewed earlier last year and I really enjoyed it, but it was a smaller keyboard without a number pad. When the Leobog Hi98 came up as a review option with its 101 key

REVIEW – Want an easy way to expand the dwindling file space on your smartphone? The DigiEra LPS2000M MagSafe portable SSD is designed exactly for that purpose. Out of the box, it will attach to the back of a MagSafe-compatible iPhone and add from 512GB to 2TB of extra space. Let’s snap it on and

REVIEW – Recently, I installed a fingerprint smart lock on my garage access door, and it’s been so convenient! But for some family members, the fingerprint reader is a hit or miss. When the TCL D1 Pro Palm Vein Smart Lock came up for a review, I knew I wanted to try it. How well did

REVIEW – If you use your iPhone or Android phone as your primary camera, then you’ll want to take a look at the JSAUX MagCool OmniGrip. It’s a multi-tool of camera accessories for your phone. It offers everything from the grip to extra RAM in a compact folding package. Let’s take a closer look. ⬇︎

REVIEW – Since the pandemic, my employer shifted some of us to work from home, at least part of the time. Over time, my at-home setup is much better than what I had in the office. One of the perks of working from home is that I don’t need to work about making too much

REVIEW – Hurricane Helene passed through town last fall and left us without any power. At times like this, it’s important to have a backup source of power for things like running a fan, turning on the TV to get local news, or recharging anything with a battery. I’m testing out a medium-sized power station,

REVIEW – No matter how much storage space I have at my house, it always seems like I need more. This is true inside my house, in my garage, and in my back yard. To help out with my storage problem, I am reviewing a pair of deck boxes from East Oak for my back

REVIEW – I have a real weakness when it comes to journals and covers for journals. Last year, I had the opportunity to review two covers from LOCHBY and now, they’ve sent me the newest cover, the LOCHBY Mini Field Journal. While I might not take it out in a field, let’s see if it’s

REVIEW – Here I go again. Everyone already knows that I am an Ecoholic, so expressing my joy and anticipation as I get to review another EcoFlow power station would be repetitive. Ecoflow power stations are simply what I believe to be the industry standard for these types of devices. So, without further delay, let’s

REVIEW – As soon as Apple released the Mac mini M4, I ordered the Pro version. It’s an insanely powerful computer that should last me for years. Although it has a pair of USB-C ports on the front and three Thunderbolt 4 ports on the back, I need more ports. I’ve been using CableTime’s 10-in-1
