REVIEW – The POCO X7 Smartphone is soon to be released by Xiaomi and may be of interest to our international readers. It has some great qualities, but to my surprise, the review unit turned out to be incompatible with U.S. carriers. It worked on T-Mobile, but seemed to stay on 4G LTE instead of […]

REVIEW – Gear storage and packing it around keeps me on the lookout for better and more effective solutions. Wautton has a variety of different products and their waist pack looked like a nice option to test out. It’s larger than a normal fanny pack and is configured differently than other packs I’ve used in

REVIEW – Electric skateboards are a great way to get around and have come a long way in the last few years. Remote controls have gone wireless and use virtually lag-free technology for throttle control (which is a must when you’re hurtling along the streets at 20+ mph with obstacles and vehicles trying to kill

REVIEW – I have a detached garage with a side access door. I need to unlock and lock this door a few times a day, and not having my keys with me means an extra trip into the house. Granted, this is not a huge deal, but if I could cut out this inconvenience, that

REVIEW – Finding the ‘perfect’ mechanical keyboard can feel like chasing a unicorn, especially if you aren’t up for 3D printing your own case and soldering PCBs. If you’re looking for a near-full-size mechanical keyboard with an ergonomic layout, the Keychron Q13 Max has you covered. ↓ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $229 Where to

REVIEW – I have a Bluetooth earbud in one of my ears probably 8 hours a day most days. I’ve reviewed and used many different types of earbuds over the last 20+ years. My favorite types are in a category now called “true wireless stereo”, meaning there are two earbuds and they can work together
REVIEW – As a writer for The Gadgeteer, I get to review a wide range and variety of devices and products that provide exposure and insight into things that I might have otherwise never known existed. Some devices and products target futuristic ideas and concepts that push the boundaries of our concepts. Let us see

REVIEW – I’ve been able to review a few laser engravers/cutters for The Gadgeteer. I have come to enjoy the benefits of owning and using a laser engraver/cutter to make gifts, and projects for paying customers, and just using it as a hobbyist. Previous machines have been “open-framed” laser engravers. This means the smoke and
REVIEW – I have never been a big fan of buying water bottles only to throw them away (worst case) or recycle them (best case). My husband has his own business, and he buys the big 5-gallon jugs and puts them in a dispenser once a week. So when the SimPure water filtration system came
REVIEW – Light masks are all the rage these days and while I wanted to believe in them, I just couldn’t help but think they must be another useless beauty product. I mean it seems too good to be true…just strap on a light mask and go about your business and find your skin healthier,

REVIEW – Time to work on those muscles! I’m testing the Flybird Adjustable Olympic Weightlifting Bench, which is designed as an upgrade for your home gym if you’re getting more serious about your weightlifting. This particular model puts an emphasis on adaptability for bench press variations, but has some extras for other exercises as well.
REVIEW – When it comes to audio, there’s nothing quite like the depth, soundstage, clarity, and sheer power of large speakers. To feel music can be as—or more—exhilarating than hearing it. The emotions that can be experienced from a favorite piece can sometimes overwhelm—in a good way. However, one cannot be subjected to such power
REVIEW – Portable power stations are a dime a dozen, and most are relatively similar in terms of design and capability. BLUETTI has evolved their lineup with their latest offering in the Elite 200 V2, which has impressive output and capacity while being incredibly efficient in terms of size and power delivery. This is the
REVIEW – I have reviewed a few Vosteed knives in the past including their first collaboration knife with RS Knifeworks called the RSKAOS. A fellow Gadgeteer also reviewed their Trek or button lock Thunderbird and both our reviews were very positive. Now Vosteed has teamed up with Tuffknives and created the Psyop. Let’s check it

REVIEW – The EPA states (here) that most home heating and cooling systems don’t mechanically provide ventilation from outside. In places where it’s impractical or downright foolish to keep windows open, a filter like SwitchBot’s Air Purifier Table is a breath of fresh air. Let’s have a closer look! What is it? The SwitchBot Air

REVIEW – I was bitten badly by the laser engraving bug when I reviewed my first laser engraver, the LaserPecker LP5. It’s a great portable machine, as I said in my review. However, the more I used it, the more I wanted something larger. The xTool P2S is such a machine. I recently got my
REVIEW – I’m a gadget geek. I like playing around with products that offer something different or can provide a different use case. I wanted to review the AGM Pad T2 tablet because of the cellular functionality and form factor. I was intrigued about having a bigger device than my phone that is always connected

REVIEW – Do you have your 2025 all planned out yet? If not, the Baron Fig Planner 2025 can help. It’s part planner, part calendar, part journal, and has a few extra features to boot.

REVIEW – I reviewed SwitchBot’s K10+ small but powerful robot vacuum here and love it! It’s outstanding at navigating small spaces, under chairs, and into corners that are a galaxy far, far away from larger models. SwitchBot’s engineers have added a cordless stick vacuum to the package for a better cleaning experience. Amazing! What is
