Reviews about interesting gadgets, gear, mobile technology and lifestyle products.
REVIEW – If you are like me, your phone is somewhat an extension of your body. Of course, I jest, but I use my phone all day for just about everything in my life, so it’s always within reach. We can debate later about how healthy that is, but I digress. On my desk at […]

REVIEW – Last year, I created a top-down video recording area in my office. I went with a PTZ camera connected to an OSEE Gostream video switching deck. My setup has been working pretty well for unboxing and other videos, except that the PTZ camera that I bought doesn’t zoom in close enough to show
OBSBOT Tail 2 4K PTZ camera review – Is there anything this camera can’t do? Read More
REVIEW – If you’re familiar with my past reviews, I recently wrote up a piece on the CZUR ET Max book digitizer. My exploits with digitizing and crafting have long led me down the winding road of at-home printing solutions. We had a dot matrix printer when I was a kid, and I remember learning

REVIEW – We all know that person who has a bag that matches everything they do. One for school, one for going out, one for staying in, one that matches the outfit, the big one, the small one, and who knows how many others. I am sorry to say, that I am one of those

REVIEW – I’ve been using my trusty MUNBYN RW401AP Thermal Label Printer pretty heavily since I reviewed it over a year ago. I have printed hundreds of shipping labels as well as Amazon barcodes for my 3D printing business, but switching between the large shipping and small label sizes has grown tedious since I have

REVIEW – I love watching movies and learned that many films lack depth without surround sound. Even run-of-the-mill TV programs elevate with a good surround sound system like Ultimea’s Apollo S70 Ultra 7.1. How does it perform? Please join me for a look and listen – it has a few tricks up its sleeve! ⬇︎ Jump
REVIEW – My desk at home has too much going on. It’s one of those desks you look at, but don’t touch for fear you’ll upset the delicate ecosystem. I have things where I like them, and that doesn’t always allow for wiggle room. The BENFEI laptop stand with USB-C 6-in-1 docking station gives me
BENFEI USB-C 6-in-1 docking station laptop stand review Read More
REVIEW—During the winter, the beautiful garden at the front of our home that my wife designed and continues to improve is bare and unattractive. When Spring arrives, everything begins to come alive, and it is the perfect time to start the seasonal beautification process. Landscape lighting always adds an element of beauty. I think these Enbrighten

REVIEW – I had the pleasure of reviewing the Inmotion E20 electric unicycle (EUC) last year, and it’s been a regular item for me to grab when I go on short rides, but it does feel slow now that I’ve gotten better on it. Inmotion offered an upgrade to the new V9 EUC that they
Inmotion V9 Electric Unicycle review – a great commuter EUC option for a beginner like me Read More
REVIEW – It seems like everything today needs some sort of electricity to work, but there are never enough outlets. Even when you do have an outlet, half the time you have to plug in a large bulky plug that takes up more room than it should, and blocks the other outlets from being used.

REVIEW – Proper lighting is important when it comes to many things in life. From photography, to work and productivity, to relaxing with a good book. But also when it comes to fun. And the LIFX Luna Smart Lamp is just that; so much fun to use, and the perfect light in so many situations.

REVIEW – I have been happily printing with my Bambu Labs P1S FDM printer. It’s alot more reliable and consistent than my old Anycubic 4Max Pro 2.0. With things are printing so well, I’m more comfortable switching things up like using different types of filaments and build plates. The Tyson T-95 Build Plate is the
Tyson T-95 Build Plate review – Pretty up the bottom of your 3D prints Read More
REVIEW – Idaho is cold, so I’m always on board to try out gadgets to keep warm. Last year on The Gadgeteer we posted about a company using carbon nanotubes to provide consistent and near-infrared heat and the opportunity came out to put it to the test. The Jartoo Nano Heated Blanket Electric Throw looked
Jartoo Nano heated blanket electric throw review – Carbon nanotube heat! Read More
REVIEW – I’ve reviewed several 3D printers over the years, and until the last one that I reviewed, they were all more of a toy than a useful tool. That last 3D printer was the Bambu Lab A1 Mini (shown above on the left). It was the 3D printer that finally made 3D printing fun
Bambu Lab X1 Carbon 3D printer review – Bigger really is better! Read More
REVIEW – We’ve reviewed quite a few thermal imaging cameras here at the Gadgeteer, but long-range ones are rarer than the frequent reviews we get for short-range models. I’ve been thrilled to spot bighorn sheep and mountain goats during hikes near my house recently and jumped at the chance to add a long-range thermal camera
REVIEW – Television technology is changing rapidly, with features and quality that appeared on high-end TVs just a few years ago making their way down to the mid-range models now. That’s what the QM6K series from TCL represents – premium features, in a mid-priced package. Our first flat-screen TV was a chunker – it was

REVIEW – I’ve built “bricks” since I was a kid in the 80’s, ranging from the smallest of sets to a life-consuming 11,000 piece custom Star Destroyer model in 2020 (which was a blast). I haven’t had time to build as much lately, but when I had the opportunity to review the Funwhole Steampunk watch

REVIEW – Too many times my kids have asked me to play a game, or help them win the level. I don’t mind helping, I love my kids, and most of the games they play. The problem is the controller. I don’t think we have a controller left that hasn’t been attacked by tiny hands

REVIEW – We’re looking at a piece of history today! It is said that the Gerber LST pocketknife changed the EDC knife game back in the early 1980s. Fast-forward to 2025, and we’re looking at the latest edition of this lightweight workhorse. I’ve got this knife’s standard and mini versions for evaluation, just in case you
REVIEW – When tech goes tiny, the impossible becomes possible—and it’s true with audio, as well. Take the Edifier NeoBuds True Wireless Planar Magnetic Noise Canceling Earbuds as an example. This mouthful of an in-ear monitor (IEM) uses a speaker design more common in headphones than earphones. The result is a pair of earbuds (what
