Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – I can’t say why I have not jumped on board and gotten an EDC pouch up to this point. I have purchased them as gifts multiple times in the past for others, and every time I think how nice it would be to have one for myself. But, for some reason, I just […]
REVIEW – Several sources report that porch pirates stole at least 58 million packages last year, with a value of $12 billion, and one in four Americans has been a victim. I’m sad to say that even in my relatively docile neighborhood, I’ve been among them. If you’re just as concerned, SwitchBot’s Smart Video Doorbell

REVIEW – Imagine you have been going non-stop and finally arrive at your child’s concert. As you pull your phone out to record that look of joy on their face, the little red battery starts flashing to let you know your phone is almost dead. The INIU pocket size charger comes with a cable that

REVIEW – Let’s face it. Refrigerator ice is gross. The ice is huge, and at least with our refrigerator, using the ice crusher is extremely loud. Enter the Vividmoo Countertop Nugget Ice Maker. This countertop ice-making machine has taken over the job of making ice for our drinks. Fill it up, and in just a

REVIEW – I first learned about Ultimea when I reviewed their Nova S80 Dolby Atmos soundbar, which I found to be a solid product at a reasonable price. Therefore, when I had the opportunity to review their new flagship soundbar, the Skywave X70, I couldn’t resist. The X70 appeared to be a significant upgrade from

REVIEW – The Mac Mini M4 was announced last year to much deserved fanfare. Gone was the ill-fitting housing for the M1 and M2 Apple Silicon chips, and instead, the redesign made the Mini worthy of its name. For me, I need an SD card reader, and up until now, I have made use of

REVIEW – I seem to keep adding more stuff on the crafting table (thank you, Ikea!) that I have set up in my office. I have a very nice floor lamp that I reviewed from Honeywell that I used to light up my desk, and it worked great. After acquiring the WeCreate Vision Pro laser engraver,

REVIEW – There are a lot of things that I need a timer for. Most of the time, I just yell at a smart device or use my phone. There are plenty of times though that I will say that I am setting a timer, but completely forget. This happens most often with my kids…

REVIEW – Always wanting to help us protect the Naked Robotic Core™ of our phones, case makers have embraced Aramid fiber as a material lately. Today’s model is from Pitaka, who make a lot of unique products for mobile computing. (I’ve had their carbon-fiber iPad mini case on my unit for years now and love

REVIEW – I love bags. If I’m ever endlessly scrolling on YouTube (that is my one social media vice), I can’t help but stop if I see a unique or fun bag. I want to be the kind of person that has that one bag they love and sticks with it for longer than you can
REVIEW – Let’s be honest, earphones (earbuds) and headphones have gotten really good over the past few years, to the point that choice is more based on design and comfort rather than audio quality. It’s now hard to find a bad-sounding pair of earbuds in the $100+ price range. Recently, Soundpeats sent me the new

REVIEW – Today’s review is a bit different than others I’ve done in the past as it’s a review of an app! I’ll call it a digital gadget for review’s sake today.

REVIEW – Portable Bluetooth speakers are populating almost every moment of our lives. Music is everywhere. Many Bluetooth speakers I admire are made by Tribit. They have figured out how to make good-sounding speakers priced so that anyone can afford them. One of Tribit’s latest smaller speakers is the new StormBox Mini+. Who said good

REVIEW – Planes have “black boxes” and cockpit voice recorders that help determine when stuff goes sideways. Shouldn’t you have something like that in your car? You can with the ROVE R2-4K Dual Pro Dash Cam! ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $349.99, Hardwire kit $39.99 Where to buy: Rove (the hardwire kit is here.) and Amazon

REVIEW – One of the more annoying things in 3D printing is when a print fails because of filament issues. You start a long print, check on it after a bit, and maybe notice some slight stringing; then, inevitably, you return later to find the horrid “bird’s nest,” strings, and gobs of costly filament everywhere.
REVIEW – My son is moving into an apartment for his second year of college, and needs a vacuum cleaner that doesn’t take up a lot of room. Fortunately, I was able to check out Levoit’s line of cordless vacuum cleaners, the LVAC-200 and LVAC-300. What are they like, and how are they different? ⬇︎ Jump

REVIEW – The world of earbuds is a vast landscape littered with endless choices of sizes, shapes, prices, and features. It is bordering on ridiculous just how many choices you actually have, which in itself can present paralysis by analysis. Luckily, you have the Gadgeteer to help you! Today I will be reviewing the latest offering
