REVIEW – Electric scooters continue to grow in popularity and features and I have really enjoyed testing and trying out different models over the past few years. I’ve also seen the speeds and ranges increase as batteries and motors improve and the engineering behind it all advances. Today’s review is a zippy 31 mph addition, […]

REVIEW – I’ve made no secret that I don’t like carrying keys. The simple fact is that I’m bad at keeping track of them, so I’ve tried to eliminate them from my life. I still have a few padlocks around, and while I try to use combination padlocks as much as possible, let’s face it:

REVIEW – Everyday we spend way too much time focusing on what needs to be done, where we need to go, who needs the next thing. I almost feel like I have run a marathon by the end of the day, and the end of the week never seems to come fast enough. We should

REVIEW – MKC is the Montana Knife Company. The MKC X Tactile Turn EDC Mini Pen is a mouthful of a name that’s probably twice as long as necessary. But it is a smooth writer by virtue of the very well known brand of refill MKC uses. At this price point, will it appeal to

REVIEW – Small EDC lights are a huge market. The number of different models, just on this site alone, is staggering. So, how does a company innovate and bring more to the party? AceBeam has decided to add a palm-sized unit with three different types of light sources, with an easy-to-use magnetic ring around the

REVIEW – When the email came through to review the Baseus Inspire Series headphones I didn’t hesitate to jump at the chance. I have been looking for a pair of over-ear headphones that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg for a while now. And without getting too much into the review too early, the

REVIEW – Sometimes, as a reviewer, we come across products that are far from ‘normal use’. It’s an opportunity to use a product as it was designed. The 8849 Hike Rugged Phone looks to be designed for travel and extreme outdoor use. Read on to see if this design would work for your extreme adventures.

REVIEW – The ability to see in the dark is something that most kids and many people who spend a lot of time in the outdoors would love! The Wosports NV400 night vision binoculars allow that, and they let you capture that in 16MP stills and 4K video. But are they a true binocular? Not
REVIEW – At this point I think I’ve thoroughly documented my love for Vosteed knives. They were one of the first knives I reviewed when I started writing for The Gadgeteer and they have continually impressed me with the quality and consistency of their product. Today’s model up for review is the Vosteed Vombat, a

Review – Chairs are funny things, especially when being reviewed. What might be comfortable for me could annoy the heck out of you, and vice versa. I honestly don’t know how anyone can buy a chair to sit in for 8+ hours a day – online. But many people do, so I’m reviewing the Vari

REVIEW – I’ve heard of Mini-LED screen technology, which incorporates many, many local dimming areas. I have not, however, heard of INNOCN before. Now that I have, it’s time to see if this speedy 240Hz monitor has what it takes to earn a spot on your desktop. ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $$399.99 (street price $279.99)
INNOCN 24.5″ QHD 240Hz Mini-LED monitor – Oh so bright Read More
REVIEW – I firmly believe that once you go smart lock, you can’t ever go back to dumb. Consider the freedom: no pokey keys in your pocket. No keys weighing down your bag and scratching your fancy purse stuff. Never losing your keys again, because you don’t have any! I was living that dream for many years until my Schlage got a case of dementia and it was time to send

REVIEW – I’ve put up some lights each holiday, but usually a string or two, and usually within reach of a normal step ladder. Entering the fall season, I usually see plenty of handyman signs advertising light installations (near bigger HOA neighborhoods), but decidedly less this year for some reason. So a review opportunity for

REVIEW – I recently started reviewing a product that triggered multiple malware warnings on my firewall, giving me a very vulnerable feeling. Without a firewall, who knows what may have been compromised? I was enthusiastic about taking a good look at Firewalla’s Gold Pro and AP7 router to see how well it could protect my
REVIEW – I just got a new vehicle so the timing was perfect to test the TRAPO S650 i-Sight Dashcam. The S650 is one of a series of dashcams by this manufacturer. The pricing is not out of line with other two camera dashcam sets with similar features. But did it live up to its

REVIEW – When it comes to getting in shape and losing unwanted weight, people will try just about everything from fad diets to kooky fitness gear. Today, I want to show you the MERACH Slim Vibration Plate, which claims to help you burn fat and calories by vibrating them away. Let’s take a look. ⬇︎ Jump

REVIEW – I am always on the search for a Mary Poppins bag. I know they don’t exist but that doesn’t mean I am going to stop looking. I feel that there are very specific things that I want when it comes to a tote. I have a lot of lists. Lists for things that

REVIEW – With a wedding coming up, and the opportunity to review the latest Apple Watch band from Nomad Goods, the Stratos Band, I couldn’t help but marry these two situations (almost as I couldn’t help make that terrible pun)! Seriously, though, there were a couple of interesting design features of the Stratos Band that

REVIEW – Earlier this year, I was able to review an excellent ebike from Jasion, and since then, I’m sold on the advantages of “e-travel”. When the NAVEE XT5 Pro Off-Road E-Scooter came up for review, I wondered how different (or similar) the experience would be riding it. So if you’re interested in electric scooters

TRIP REPORT – Walking through the doors of the Javits Center this year, I pretty much knew what I was in for, yet somehow New York Comic Con still manages to catch me off guard. The crowds were a little bigger, the booths looked sharper, and the production value of everything from the displays to
