REVIEW – This past year, I have tested and reviewed several digital picture frames that all performed well, and they offered both similar and different features. One of the features that I am always concerned about is cloud storage and the possible security risks, especially when some digital frames make that the only choice. The Aluratek 8 […]

REVIEW – There’s no right or wrong way to record music. In fact, taking you out of the zone is the main thing that should be universally avoided. Spire Studio from iZotope is a new product that seems to have been developed specifically to make sure that doesn’t happen. What is it? Spire Studio is

REVIEW – You can find Raspberry Pi 3 cases all over the Internet. They are mostly all good, and mostly all priced the same – $15. New Age Enclosures is looking to break out from the pack with a high quality, durable case that costs less. Is that possible? Read on to find out… Most

REVIEW – I have lost count of how many portable gyms and gym-like devices I have purchased over the years that have promised to fit into my busy schedule and to provide a relatively quick full body workout that will keep me fit. One way or another they have fallen short of the goal either because they

REVIEW – On a recent road trip, I frequented a number of gas stations and was amazed at the gamut of phone-related audio choices, even in the smallest of establishments. I imagine many, like me, either forget or break their headphones. I’m always looking for versions that can withstand my rough treatment and give me

REVIEW – We have a Netatmo Presence Outdoor Security Camera and floodlight that has some blind spots that we’d like to fill with another motion detecting camera/floodlight. We wanted the new camera to detect and hopefully scare away any would-be thieves. Then recently, I was offered the Momentum Aria LED Floodlight with WiFi Camera to

REVIEW – I have allergies and sinus issues 24/7 365 days a year. My nose is almost always a little sniffly. TMI? Sorry. But I know that I’m not the only person who has these types of issues. While several people on the team have reviewed air purifiers, the Airdog X5 is the first one

REVIEW – Dash cams can be a great help in an accident. If the events are not being reported accurately, showing an actual film of an accident or incident does a lot to prevent someone from “remembering” things differently. Recently, I was sent the Z-Edge T4 touchscreen dash camera, and it includes a second, rear-facing

REVIEW – Remote control devices are always a big hit with kids. I have purchased a ton for my kids over the years… cars, robots, pets, airplanes, and of course, drones. So the GPX Quadcopter Drone with Wifi Camera caught my eye. It not only has a budget price of $49.95, it has a camera

REVIEW – I used to have an offset barrel smoker, and I just couldn’t get the hang of it. Managing the fuel was a pain, and temperature control was difficult. The Cuisinart 30″ Electric Smoker offers an experience for those who are new to the meat smoking game, or those (like me) who just want

REVIEW – The market for portable charges has come a long way. I remember when the best portable charger you could get would only charge your cellphone about half way. But hey, at least you had that! I have owned just about every configuration you could think of when it comes to size, capacity, number

REVIEW – The Aukey Aura Lamp isn’t your average everyday table lamp. It has a modern design and multi-colored LED lights, all controlled by a remote. I received one recently to review. Let’s see just how different this lamp really is. What is it? The Aukey Aura Lamp is a dimmable LED table lamp with

REVIEW – The new Ultimate Ears (UE) Megaboom 3 was introduced a few months ago and since I have really enjoyed using the Megaboom, I wanted to give the Megaboom 3 a try. Were there any improvements? Well, I think they did a great job in redesigning the Megaboom 3. It’s much more attractive than

REVIEW – Join me as I take a look at the Rx8s from RevoNext. Great specs, braided cable and a price that likely forces a double take. You’ll want to keep reading. What is it? RevoNext’s Rx8s are a pair of dual-driver earphones with detachable cable and solid performance at a very attractive price. Hardware

REVIEW – At this point in my quest to find the best wireless earbuds for me, I pretty much know what my minimum requirements are including sound, size, connectivity, stability, etc. I have been using one pair for a while now that has withstood the test of time and that I have been quite satisfied with. However,

REVIEW – I love Jaybird headphones, mostly because they allow me to select my personal favorite equalizer setting via the Jaybird app and save it to the earphones. I recently reviewed the Jaybird Tarah Wireless Sport Headphones and really liked them, but my X3’s still reigned supreme. Then, a month after Jaybird released their latest

REVIEW – Here’s something we don’t see very often these days… it’s a toy that doesn’t require an app or a user account in order to use it. Let’s take a look at the i-Top. What is it? i-Top is a… wait for it… top that spins. Yes, that’s what it is. It’s a spinning

REVIEW – Operating your smart home got a lot easier once voice control was introduced by various services. I use Amazon’s Alexa system for voice control of my Hue lights and Nest products. I bought my Amazon Echo devices before the surge of new-generation Echo devices and before all those new items with built-in Alexa

REVIEW – Fitness tracking devices used to only be available in form factors that strapped to your wrist or around your chest. Now we have fitness trackers that you can wear on your finger as a ring or in a patch that you stick to your chest like the Vital Scout continuous wellness monitor from
