KOSPET TANK T3 Special Edition Smartwatch review – premium features at a midrange price

KOSPET Tank3Ultra watch 16

REVIEW – My first smartwatch was the Pebble, which I found to be instantly invaluable by displaying my notifications right on my wrist and then letting me decide if they were important enough to pull my phone out. For me, this has been the primary function of my smartwatches to this day. Other functions and

ThermoMate Electric Outdoor/Indoor Patio Heater review

ThermoMatePatioHeater 9

REVIEW – Staying comfortable outdoors has certainly evolved in the last dozen years. Gone are the days of having to start a fire to stay warm. (Fires are still wonderfully inviting and fun, just not efficient.) Ceramic heaters and radiant heaters have been used for a long time, but they are usually large and do

annke fcd600 11

REVIEW – When you live in a somewhat secluded wooded area like I do, you want to be able to monitor your property when you’re home and away from home. I’ve had multiple security cameras around my house for years, but only in the past year have I “graduated” to PoE cameras, and I love

Gerber Dredge Folding Shovel review – A great folding shovel with a strange name

gerber dredge 3

REVIEW – If you spend any time with a vehicle in the outdoors, you’ll encounter a need for a shovel.  It can be for digging out of a snowbank, cleaning out a fire pit, or for me most recently, seeing an awesome patch of wild roadside black eyed susan and bee balm (wild flowers) to

NIRA Laser Pro review – Can lasers help you look younger?

NIRA 9

REVIEW – Once upon a time I let a lady named Joanne fire lasers at my face.  My sun damage disappeared and my skin was absolutely radiant.  Unfortunately, though, that medical treatment was several hundred dollars a session, so I haven’t been back in a while.  Recently, I heard that there was a home laser

Bowers & Wilkins Pi8 In-ear True Wireless Earbuds review — who knew an improvement could feel so good?

BW Pi8 15

REVIEW – It’s hard to imagine that as little as 7-10 years ago, most earphones were wired requiring them to be physically connected to an iPod or other portable music player. Today, however, wireless IEMs (in-ear monitors) are as common as ever. It seems everyone owns at least one pair—or more. And most of them

cospro grinder 1

REVIEW – Salt and pepper are the final touches for many dishes, and when they are ground during plating there’s an extra touch of freshness.  Salt and pepper grinders are a good addition to any kitchen, so I am testing a new set of grinders from Cospro. What is it? This is a set of

REVIEW – The flood of mini-PCs continues unabated in 2024, with five Geekom mini PCs reviewed by myself and other Gadgeteers this year alone! The previous models this year have been iterations on Intel and AMD processors that have been relatively similar year after year with minor performance bumps, but this year the Intel® Core™
