REVIEW – Recently, my wife (Cheri) and I went on a 10-day whirlwind tour of the UK. It involved a lot of bus travel, changing hotels, and walking. She dreaded lugging her oversized purse all over England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. That’s when we were offered the Troubadour KI Crossbody Bag to review. While the

REVIEW – In my trips down the many, many rabbit holes associated with mechanical keyboard fanaticism, I’ve heard Cherry was the GOAT when it comes to keyboard switches.

REVIEW – Back in May 2020, I reviewed the original EarFun Air earbuds, and I was quite impressed with them, even stating that they were, “the best I’ve reviewed yet.” When Julie offered the opportunity to review the EarFun Air 2, I was curious to discover if the sequel could improve upon the original. Let’s
REVIEW – With 74 100 plus degree days in San Antonio, Texas in 2023, I want to be prepared for another heat wave this year. I have kept my eye out for any type of cooling devices coming up for review on The Gadgeteer, so when the TORRAS COOLiFY Cyber Smart AI-control neck air conditioner

REVIEW – Like many middle-class American kids, I was forced to learn piano growing up. Even though I hated this at first, I eventually came around and also elected to play in the school band, and have loved to learn and play new instruments ever since. I mostly noodle around randomly and make up things
REVIEW – What defines a watch? Years ago, that would have been silly to ask. Today, however, it’s a legitimate question. In nine short years, the most popular watch in the world—by far—is the Apple Watch. But is it really a watch? To me, a watch is a mechanical time-keeping device worn either in a

REVIEW – PopSockets™ phone holders have been around long enough to almost define the category, like ChapStik™ or Kleenex™. There are other methods for gaining a more secure grip on your phone, but having a stick-on knob that can be compacted when not needed is their claim to fame. Today, I’m looking at a new

That comes with communication challenges as everyone doesn’t necessarily speak the same language. Even within a single language, there can be a variety of dialects that can complicate communication. Google Translate and other language apps can help
REVIEW – One of the perks of being a Gadgeteer is getting to try out a variety of electric scooters. I’ve tested (or personally bought) a wide assortment of them so far ranging from heavy 30+ mph models with off-road tires and suspension to very compact and light versions with equally small range and weak

REVIEW – I’ve owned a lot of knives over the years so by now I know what I want in an everyday carry knife and which features are important to me. The James Brand Carter XL checks all the blocks for me specification wise so let’s see how it does in practice. What is it?

REVIEW – Most people know what to look for in a portable power station. The technology is starting to level off between manufacturers. Things like using LiFePO4 batteries, super fast recharging, USB-C ports, and apps for your phone are all becoming more normal and expected. To separate itself, Anker has developed the SOLIX C800 Plus

REVIEW – There’s been a running prank war in my extended family for years where we like to give other nieces and nephews loud and obnoxious kids toys (like drum sets, karaoke machines, etc.).
