ALLPOWERS S2000 Pro Portable Power Station 06

REVIEW – If you’re looking for power stations in the 1000-2000 Wh range, there’s a huge range of options so you’ll probably be looking most closely at factors like longevity, port selection, and cost. One of the features I have rarely seen so far is the inclusion of a high-amperage RV style port, but today […]

COZYINN walking pad review – Get your steps in with this mini treadmill

Cozyinn WalkingPad 1

REVIEW – I can be found walking outside in all kinds of weather, from the steamiest summer days to drizzly winter days. However, on the rainiest, coldest, darkest days, I like the idea of an indoor workout. I also have trouble sitting still after hours of working on my computer. The COZYINN walking pad compact

Carbon8 sparkling water dispenser review – Ditch the bottles with this gadget!

Carbon87

REVIEW –  If you’re a sparkling water lover, then you know the first world problems I’m about to outline.  Lugging bottles around the grocery,  into the car and then inside your home is a pain.  Storing the bottles can be difficult.  Reaching the bottom third of your bottle to find that the carbonation is pretty

Oukitel BT20 Smartwatch review – A mix of great, and ‘opportunities’

OUKITEL 3

REVIEW – The Oukitel BT20 Smartwatch carries the same brand name as large, portable power stations Gadgeteer reviewers have published here. It figures it has a large-ish battery, but at $60 how close to ‘smart’ is this watch? I’ve reviewed some doozies before and this price range usually marks where I approach with lower expectations.

ALLPOWERS S2000 Portable Power Station review – checks my boxes for a 1500Wh power station

ALLPOWERS S2000 Portable Power Station 03

REVIEW – I recently reviewed the ALLPOWERS S2000 Pro Portable Power Station, which is a good all-around power station without any glaring faults. ALLPOWERS also sent the S2000 non-Pro for review, so I also tested it out, and the big question is whether or not it’s worth saving $100 over the Pro version or not,

VELO 3-in-1 Expandable Hardside Luggage review – versatile convertible luggage

VELO 3 in 1 hardside luggage 14

REVIEW – I’ve used some of my luggage pieces for nearly 20 years now, and they’re definitely looking the part. I’ve replaced a few pieces over the years (and the ones I haven’t replaced look like they’re about to explode spontaneously).  Hardside luggage with 360° spinners style is the only type I’ll get from now
