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,

Kemimoto vest 7

  REVIEW – When I was a kid, we planned a ski trip to the mountains of West Virginia.  The forecast was shaping up to be VERY cold, so my dad got me a pair of heated socks.  They were wool socks with a bunch of D batteries in a holder that strapped to your

Rophie 200 Watt Portable Solar Panel 9

REVIEW – I have never had the opportunity to review a solar panel larger than 100-Watts before so when the 200-Watt Portable Solar Panel from Rophie arrived to be reviewed, I began scanning the future weather forecasts for sunny days to put this panel through its paces. What is it? The Rophie 200-Watt Portable Solar

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

Sylvox 24″ Waterproof Smart Magic Mirror on wall bathroom TV review

Sylvox Bathroom TV Mirror 14

REVIEW – If I could show the before and after photos of the home that I purchased in late 2020, everyone would be amazed at the number of tech junkie additions/improvements that I have installed/implemented. I am a fan of technology-driven convenience, and as a writer for the Gadgeteer, I am privileged to get the

MUNBYN RW401AP Thermal Label Printer review – third time is the charm

MUNBYN 941AP thermal printer 12

REVIEW – I’ve used thermal printers for years now for shipping all sorts of things, as well as printing random other stuff (for example I have a series of commonly used recipes stuck inside our cabinets that I have printed over the years: as useful as smart home displays and smartphones are, sometimes it’s just

Kiiboom Allure In Ear Monitors – Affordable candy for your ear holes

kiiboom allure 1

REVIEW – I’m back with another, more affordable offering from Kiiboom, a company I had never heard of until I reviewed their, in my opinion, stellar IEMs, the Evoke. I loved the Evoke but admit the price could be prohibitive. But are you tired of only getting 4-6 hours out of your Bluetooth earbuds? Do

FreeTiger FT51 Pocket Knife review – It doesn’t cut – into your wallet

FREETIGER 1

REVIEW – The FreeTiger FT51 pocket knife is one sharp cookie – cutter. Sorry if I said that in a previous review, but I was immediately impressed with the sharpness of the blade on this knife and the ‘no cheap feel,’ knowing this knife costs under $30. How will it stand up to my normal
