REVIEW – My preferred non-airline travel behavior with respect to charging my electronic devices, be it a phone, watch, tablet, and computer, is to make sure I have the necessary charging cables, a decent-sized power bank supporting both USB-A & USB-C, and some way to charge the power bank, preferably with USB-C, and a charging […]

REVIEW – My wife and I love to hike, and we spend a many a day traipsing about the foothills of the Appalachians. Sometimes our daughter and son-in-law hike with us, and last year they had their first child. This makes hiking more challenging, because the places we like to go are not amenable to

REVIEW – Transitioning from a decades-old IKEA desk in the corner of my cramped apartment living room to a dedicated office in my new home has been a real game-changer. As I excitedly planned my new workspace, I knew finding the right desk would be crucial and that it was definitely time for a proper
REVIEW – When I told my wife I was going to be reviewing the Sylvox 15.6″ Waterproof TV, her first reaction was “with each of us having our own tablet, why on Earth would we need a portable TV?” And I have to admit, I had the same initial feeling. With the ubiquitous nature of

REVIEW – If you’re starting out in digital art—or even thinking about it—you’ll need a graphics display. You might be thinking, “But, I already have an iPad.” and that’s fine—but I want you also to consider adding a graphics display to your digital arsenal. Why? Unless you do all of your art on an iPad,

REVIEW – Having a good flashlight available and ready when you need is harder than it should be. Whether it’s rechargeable or takes batteries, it seems like more of my flashlights are dead than they are ready to go. The IMALENT LD35 EDC flashlight is designed to address that very issue. Read on to see

REVIEW – I have struggled with insomnia for years and my wife has experienced migraines since childhood. We are always looking for devices that will help with sleep relaxation and hopefully at least with the severity of migraines. Let’s see if this Bob and Brad Eye Massager Oasis 2 works for me. What is it?

REVIEW – Years ago, I bought an external hard drive with a whopping 740 Megabytes. Not Gigabytes, not Terabytes—just Megabytes. It cost hundreds of dollars, and now I work on individual files that are twice as large! How far we’ve come. Today, many hard drives aren’t even drives at all; they’re SSD chips that read

REVIEW – Robot vacuums keep getting smarter, and more powerful, and offer new and innovative features. The other thing they do is keep getting more expensive. The Ecovacs DEEBOT X2 OMNI that I reviewed about eight months ago lists for around $1,500 before any applicable discounts. Lots of folks out there are intrigued by robot

REVIEW – Migrating from my dated iPhone 8 to a bright and shining new iPhone 16 Pro left me in need of one of those all-in-one charging solutions for phone, watch and headphones. My previous all-in-one charging solution was the iLive 3-in-1 Charging Stand which does not support MagSafe charging so I was pleasantly surprised

REVIEW – We’ve reviewed quite a few watches from Ticwatch here at the Gadgeteer over the years, and they tend to be consistently good smartwatches with better than average battery runtimes. The latest model that Ticwatch has sent my way is the Ticwatch Atlas, a full-featured Google Wear smartwatch that looks like it might give

REVIEW – For me, the epitome of all the every day carry items out there is a pocketknife. For a substantial chunk of my life I’ve carried a pocketknife in one form or another. Today’s review, the Roxon S502U, checks out an unusual feature that you don’t see in many knives. Dive in to see

REVIEW UPDATES – There are 1000s of sites on the web that post product reviews, but here at The Gadgeteer, we take things further than most of those sites because we update our reviews regularly for the products that we love (or sometimes hate). Our review updates let you know how well a product holds

REVIEW – Some of the reviews here on The Gadgeteer include videos, and one of the harder parts of creating a good video is capturing clear sound. To improve the sound quality in my own videos, I’m testing out the Fulaim X5M, a new wireless microphone system. What is it? The Fulaim X5M is a

REVIEW – I’ve tried a handful of smart locks in various locations in our house over the years, with mostly disappointing results. Poor battery life, abysmal fingerprint reading, and internet connectivity issues have all marred previous attempts. When the review offer came in for the aqara smart lock U300, I was eager to try it

REVIEW – I love listening to music while I’m busy in the kitchen. However I still need to hear if the dog is barking or the kid needs something so I can’t wear any type of noise canceling audio devices. I had previously tried bone conduction and I didn’t like the sound quality so when

REVIEW – I live in an area that entices closed windows and heating from late September or early October until April or May, resulting in dry skin, itchy eyes, and the oh-so-familiar chill in the air. A humidifier like SwitchBot’s Auto-Fill is just what the doctor ordered to make it feel warmer and help

REVIEW – When it comes to getting a good night’s sleep, the mattress you choose plays a pivotal role in your overall comfort and well-being. While comfort is subjective to your preference of features from plush vs firm, foam type, support, pillow top, etc, Novilla has a variety of options that could fit your needs

REVIEW – I love multitools. The utility and portability make them a great EDC item. Over the years I’ve owned a number of different Leatherman multitools as well as a generic knockoff or two. The Roxon Phantom multitool came up for review and brings some interesting features to the mix, so let’s see how it

REVIEW – No filter was used for this picture! You’re looking at the XMCOSY Smart Acrylic Lights, which are an update to a model that I reviewed back in March of this year.
