JBL headphones 4

REVIEW – We’ve been searching for a good pair of headphones for co-reviewer Mason to take to college. He’s looking for comfort, good sound quality, long battery life, and nice looking over-the-ear headphones. When we had the opportunity to review the JLabs JBuds Lux ANC wireless headphones, they ticked all the boxes. Plus some we […]

REVIEW – I was spoiled as a kid, as I had an automatic can opener, and while I’ve tried them on and off after leaving home, I just haven’t found one I’ve wanted to keep around. The Orbit One rechargeable professional strength can opener by Kitchen Mama is an automatic can opener that is small

SCRIVEINER 1

REVIEW – The Scriveiner Black Green Fountain Pen is from a manufacturer that claims to be “UK’s leading luxury pen brand”. These Brits use some German parts, and wisely so. The Black Green Fountain Pen is available in several finishes and with the Schmidt nib, and ink converter, it is like writing with a pen

UGREEN 300W Power Station 5

REVIEW – I own several power banks, but I always seem to be looking for one that’s charged and ready to go. Additionally, most of the power banks I’ve accumulated are not fast chargers and seem to take forever with the newer fast-charge devices. The UGREEN 300W 48000mAh Power Bank came up for review and

SCRIVEINER EDC 8

REVIEW – The Scriveiner EDC Fountain Pen is from a company that touts itself as “UK’s leading luxury pen brand”. They kindly sent two fountain pens to review. The EDC Fountain pen, and one of their standard size. Scriveiner also makes ballpoint and rollerball pens, but to a fountain pen fan, well… What is it?

REVIEW – Living in Northwest Florida, it gets a bit warm in the summer. My boys share a bedroom which just happens to be the hottest room in the house. So you’ve got the hottest room and the body heat from two teenage boys. Needless to say, it gets a bit uncomfortable, especially on days

StokeNomad Rev 0005

REVIEW – While I continually look for ways to simplify my overlanding gear, I’ve found that a lot of compromises need to be made. With limited space and payload, weight and portability are prime considerations for everything I bring along. Always complicating matters is the unknown quotient of food and cooking supplies. Cooking fuel, in

REVIEW – Growing up in the South, I was surrounded by men carrying a pocket knife. There was my Dad, his 5 brothers, and all my older cousins. If you asked one of them if they had a knife on them, inevitably you’d get the answer, I’ve got my pants on, don’t I? My Dad

Noesis Florio vacuum review – It just might change your mind about robot vacuums

Noesis Florio 1

REVIEW – Years ago, I thought about getting an iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaner—until my wife squashed that idea like a bug. Her objections were quite valid at the time. We have dogs—and dogs sometimes have accidents. There were too many stories of robot vacuums covering the floor with those accidents. So we relied on vacuuming

MOBVOI P5E 26

REVIEW – The Mobvoi TicWatch Pro 5 Enduro smartwatch / fitness watch is very well made. Mobvoi is now considered a mainstream brand name so there’s no ‘knockoff’ copying going on here. The design is all Mobvoi and under the hood is the well developed Wear OS from Google. The sapphire glass screen has extra

REVIEW – If you have a family with kids, then on a regular basis you have to inflate something.  And if you are like me, over the years you have collected a bunch of different types of air pumps.  Those old school air pumps where you put your feet on the bottom, grab the handle

Blinder 1300 2

REVIEW – Riding a bike on the road gives me anxiety sometimes, especially in areas without dedicated bike lanes and with narrow shoulders. Knog approached The Gadgeteer about doing a review and after looking over their products, the Blinder 1300 and Mid Cobber Rear bike light set really stood out to me. What immediately stood
