REVIEW – If you travel, you probably collect souvenirs. You know – those things that remind you of where you’ve been, and collect dust as they sit on your bookcase, cabinet, or curio table. We travel but my wife hates clutter as well as dusting. Therefore, typical travel knickknacks like figurines, magnets, and such don’t […]
REVIEW – It is summer in NY, and I am spending as much time as possible outdoors enjoying family life and life in the sun. I have a Gazebo with an installed sound system in my backyard, but I usually have to make a few connections to power it up and then disconnect a few

REVIEW – There are quite a few choices these days if you’re looking for an electric bike for fun or for commuting (or anything in between). My experience testing and purchasing quite a few e-bikes over the years has helped me learn that there can be large differences in seemingly-similar bikes. Because so many brands

REVIEW – I can’t stop reviewing mechanical keyboards. I have a grass-is-greener mentality, and I always wonder if the next keyboard that I review will be a mind-blowing experience that will make me dump my current favorite board in the trash. This time around, I’m looking at the SIKAKEYB Castle CK75 Magnetic Switch Mechanical Keyboard

REVIEW – Traveling internationally can present packing challenges. The more you have to carry, the more of a pain it is. As someone who travels internationally a lot while bringing a laptop, phone, digital camera, 360-degree camera, action camera, headphones, and a few more electronic odds and ends, it usually means I have to bring
REVIEW – My Mom is 84 years old and loves her pool. She spends many hours keeping it sparkling clean. I do my best to help her, but I can’t be as vigilant as WYBOT’s new S2 Pro Pool Cleaning robot. Please join me for a closer look! What is it? The WYBOT S2 Pro

REVIEW – Mobile photography has become a passion of mine in the last few years. Since cameras in phones have become so good, it’s easy to always have a good camera with me for most of what I want to shoot. I’m definitely an amateur photographer, but I enjoy learning more and finding tools that

REVIEW – Food bits. Plaque. General dental slime. Eww, right? We all brush, well, most of us, but brushing only goes so far. Flossing helps get rid of these icky things in our mouths, but I hate flossing. I don’t like the *snap* of the floss as it gets between my teeth. I don’t like

REVIEW – Last December, I reviewed the newly designed Bluetti AC2A Portable Power Station. I said then that it was small, powerful, yet simple. It still is. The folks at Bluetti must be pleased with their efforts with the AC2A because they’ve released a bigger brother version—the Bluetti AC50B, a more powerful 700W larger twin

REVIEW – I am a passionate and dedicated cyclist, and have been for the last 30 years. I ride on the roads with cars several times a week, but I’m always nervous about it, and getting more so. Just this year alone, several of my friends and riding buddies have been hit by cars, one

REVIEW – I may be one of the few people who is okay with mowing their lawn. My issue comes from circulation issues in my legs. After cutting the lawn, my legs and feet will ache for days. Enter the Mowrator S1 Pro, a remote-controlled lawnmower. I was given one to review; is it a

REVIEW – For over a year now, I’ve suffered with poor lighting for my Teams calls, yet had no desire to clutter up my desk with a lamp. What intrigued me about the Studio Lamp by Vari was the thin stand and, more importantly, the ability to hide it behind my monitors and yet still
REVIEW – I am deep into the E-bike craze, so much so that one of my new hobbies has been modifying my e-bikes to add functionality or to satisfy my techie addiction. I have also been reaping the benefits of exercise and being outdoors because I have been riding much more. Just when I thought

REVIEW – I’ve used a baker’s dozen or more tablets over the years (Android, ChromeOS, and iOS), everything from early touchscreens that were resistive (ugh) to the latest and greatest Apple iPad Pro. The cheaper Android tablets have almost all had issues for me ranging from minor to unusable, but the TCL TAB 10 NXTPAPER

REVIEW – Vosteed is at it again. Recently I reviewed the Vosteed Acorn pocketknife and was very impressed by its performance and the overall package, so when Vosteed came out with the Mini Acorn pocketknife I had to give it a try and compare against its older sibling. What is it? The Vosteed Mini Acorn

REVIEW – Subscription boxes for adults are typically not very exciting. There are fruit of the month, coffee of the month, etc. You get the idea. Okay, some adults might get excited by a coffee of the month subscription box, but Gadgeteers will be more excited about a box full of fun geeky things, and that’s

REVIEW – The TOZO brand is no stranger to The Gadgeteer, but the usual product lines tend to consist of Bluetooth earbuds, of which we’ve seen some great options. The TOZO PA1 Bluetooth speaker came along claiming a few interesting characteristics and I decided to give it a try. It sits in what I would
