SideTrak Swivel FHD 14” attached portable monitor review

SideTrak Swivel141 24

REVIEW – To overcome the limited screen real estate of most laptops, your options include investing in an expensive double-screen model, carrying a portable monitor, or using an expansion monitor like the SideTrak Swivel. I have one to review. Read on to see what I think! What is it? The 14″ SideTrak Swivel is a […]

Govee Galaxy Light Projector Pro review – a decent if overpriced space themed light projector

govee galaxy projector 07

REVIEW – A galaxy or star projector has been on our wishlist for a while, as we have a toddler rapidly approaching the age where he’ll probably want a nightlight and/or be interested in the stars and planets. Govee offered their new Govee Galaxy Light Projector Pro for review, and it looked perfect for our

Paris Rhône 4K SP005 LCD Projector review – a good 4k home theater projector at a budget price

paris rhone 4k projector 14

REVIEW – We’ve reviewed a LOT of projectors here at The Gadgeteer, but I personally haven’t had the chance to try out a native 4K one yet (though I’ve tested some great 1080P models). The Paris Rhône 4K SP005 LCD Projector looked pretty similar to other one I just reviewed (the KJM K3 1080P projector)

Funwhole A-Frame Cabin Building Block Set review – an old-fashioned house with lights

funwhole aframe cabin 1

REVIEW – Last year I reviewed Funwhole’s Lakeside Lodge, and it is probably my favorite building block set.  It’s amazing how a good set of lights can really enhance the quality of a set, and no one knows how to light a set like Funwhole.  I decided to review another set in this same genre

NOMVDIC P1000 4K UHD Home Projector review – Vivid video, simple setup, and a pleasant price!

NomVdic P1000 projector 45

REVIEW – I’ve always been a major movie buff. At one point, I went to the cinema four or five times a week until COVID-19. During this time, cocooning became a thing we all had to do, and golly gee, I missed it. If you have a flair for film or want larger-than-life sports at

Loobani Dog Puzzles review – fun for the thinking dog

loobani dog puzzles 1

REVIEW – Many web sites consider poodles to be the second-smartest dog breed (after the border collie), and we have two them!  Elijah and Maggie are toy poodles, and they definitely love a good challenge.  Poodles are known for the problem-solving skills and for being quick learners.  If you have a smart breed, it’s important

Matador Nanodry packable shower towel review – Don’t forget your towel!

MatadorNanoDry 4

REVIEW – Packing towels for travel is a pain. Most of them need to be fluffy in order to be absorbent, which makes them bulky. Then, they have to flap around in the air to dry. In the last few decades, however, new materials have been developed that give you great absorption without the bulk.

Typhur Sous Vide Station review – Sous vide made easy enough for anyone!

Typhur Sous Vide Station 11

REVIEW – If you haven’t tried out sous vide cooking yet, I highly recommend exploring it! We have had a cheap sous vide cooker for years that we used attached to a large square food storage container and have cooked everything from roasts to seafood, and of course steaks. The resulting meal is almost always

Typhur Sync wireless meat thermometer review – measure that meat

Typhur Sync Wireless Meat Thermometer 03

REVIEW – I’m not a good cook, so I have to approach the kitchen like a chemistry experiment- following directions, taking measurements. A thermometer is essential for me, so I got to try out the Typhur Sync wireless meat thermometer with two probes, just in time for holiday cooking. What is it? The Typhur Sync

WaterField Designs X-Air Backpack review – the eagle has landed

Waterfield X Air Backpack Review 1

REVIEW – On short trips, flying with a carry-on bag in lieu of checked luggage is a great way to save time and money – while mitigating the risk of your stuff arriving at a different destination.  Rollerboards and spinner bags have been a staple of air travel, but can be a literal drag when

Poly Voyager 5200 UC with BT700 headset review – A serious home/office upgrade

poly voyager5200uc 1

REVIEW – I work from home as I’m sure many of you are. I sit through numerous Teams meetings each week and take cell phone calls constantly. I used to use a wired set of headphones with an add-on mic because it was what I had available and couldn’t wear a set of earbuds for
