Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
For a gadget geek, I’m surprised to say I’ve never used a car mount for my phone. Eighteen years in two Miatas, there has always been enough of a shelf space around the gear shift to set it down on. And holding the phone always seemed a good enough solution. But as a new reviewer, […]

You come to the Gadgeteer to read our unbiased real world product reviews, but what happens after we post our reviews? Do we immediately stop using the product? Or does the product immediately stop working? We answer these questions in our regular review update posts like this one. Today Smythe Richbourg, who has been on
I have had many pocket knives over the years, from the first one I received as a cub scout to various sized and shaped ones I have strategically place throughout my world today. I have them stashed in my cars, desks, tool bag, EDC gear, etc. They are a very useful tool to have around without

The Trimr All-In Tote (a new Kickstarter project) is a seriously stylish gym bag! And tough too! The heavy duty materials used could easily be found in a range bag filled with ammo and range safety equipment. Instead, the ballistic-looking exterior is accented with 3 gold plated zipper pulls. The bottom zipper opens w-i-d-e to

The latest Samsung Galaxy smartphones are here! Dave Rees and I have each been lucky enough to score eval units of the S7 Edge and the Gear VR headset (we’ll post a separate review of the VR headset soon) from Verizon Wireless. After a couple weeks with these devices it’s time to let you know

What is it with strange looking bluetooth speakers?  Earlier this year I had a chance to listen to the hole-in-the-middle Fluance Fi70.  This time, we’re going to look at the distinctively angular Nyne Rebel splashproof portable Bluetooth speaker.

We all have battery chargers by now, right? Some are large, some small, some include cables to connect to phones or tablets. But one thing almost every charger I have seen has is this: you have to carry along a phone charger or a device capable of charging the battery to top it off. (It

A while back I traded in my SUV for a more family friendly minivan that we can take road trips with. Since my children are still young, I had a drop down DVD player installed in the van. While researching DVD players, I attempted to find one that also had an HDMI input. My thinking

Fitness watches are the craze nowadays, with even the Apple Watch boasting fitness capabilities. There are so many out there, that there has to be one for nearly everyone. I prefer the type that has the continuous heart rate monitoring, while my husband just prefers something simple that he doesn’t have to charge often. I

I’ve mentioned before that I love natural surfaces – wood, leather, and stone stir something calming and satisfying in my spirit. I have a beautiful teak dining table that I use as my desk. There’s an old oak library table that used to be in my grandparents’ study across the room where I have my

I really enjoy traveling, and have a collection of items I want quick access to when on the go. For this reason, I’m always on the lookout for a really great backpack. I have previously reviewed a couple of great backpacks, but I’d really like to have one for work gadgets, around the house gadgets,

I generally avoid two things when it comes to headphones:  I steer clear of closed-ear models, as well as brands I’ve never heard of.  The Plugged Crown headphones are closed design, and Plugged doesn’t exactly enjoy the name-brand recognition as Sennheiser, Sony, Bose, etc.  Still, there was something about the appearance I kind of liked,

Seems like everyone is making web-enabled surveillance cameras these days. A majority of these consumer-grade cameras are meant for indoor use only, have 1080p HD resolution, and connect to the internet via WiFi. Most with some sort of cloud-based recording service, typically requiring a monthly subscription fee to store and/or view past footage of events. We have reviewed

To case or not to case, that is the question. Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer the dangers of outrageous clumsiness, or to cover the beauteous iPhone and by opposing the dangers end them. (Too much?) I really enjoy the beautiful design of iPhones, I hate to hide their elegance, and I’m careful

For those of us that suffer from hypertension,  keeping track of our blood pressure is important.  An annual check up with the Doctor isn’t enough, so home testing is helpful.  I’ve used several devices to do my daily checks, but most of them are either very inaccurate or they are bulky and not fun to

A couple of months ago, I was given the opportunity to review the Axis Aerius drone. It was my first time trying out a drone; my family and I had a blast using it. The Aerius was pretty simple to use and relatively inexpensive at $35.00. I thought it was an excellent drone for anyone

Do you get excited by notebooks and journals? If you do, you’re my kind of person and you’re going to be interested in these high-quality notebooks from Germany. The X17 and X47 series of notebooks may remind some people of Midori Traveler’s Notebooks because they feature removable inserts. That’s where the comparison ends though because
