Comfier CF 2606MC 22

Dangbei Atom Laser Projector review – bright and beautiful

dangbei atom projector 15

REVIEW – Projectors are usually designed to be bulky home-theater versions with high-end technology, or portable versions that are smaller and lighter but often are much dimmer or have inferior lenses or hardware. The Dangbei Atom Laser Projector caught my eye as a model that might be able to do both, a feat that your

Ultenic AC1 Elite cordless wet/dry vacuum cleaner review – Turns “Eeew” into “Oooo!”

Ultenic AC1 Elite wet dry vacuum 34

REVIEW – I mostly walk around the house barefoot, so keeping the floors squeaky clean is essential. Vacuuming and mopping using the Ultenic MC1 vacuum happens thrice weekly. Visually, they look great, and I seldom feel any dirt underfoot, but I was surprised with the crud Ultenic’s AC1 Elite cordless wet/dry vacuum cleaner picked up. What

ROKR Classic Printing Press 2

REVIEW – At first glance, the Robotime ROKR Classic Printing Press Mechanical 3D Wooden Puzzle looked like a fun challenge. I thought it would be a great project to put together with my little kids, but once I opened the box and saw the complexity and size of the pieces, that plan went out the

Hampton Bay Zandra Wifi ceiling fan 10

REVIEW – My 58-year-old house still had the original, outdated, inefficient ceiling fans. I’m doing all I can to increase energy efficiency, and I jumped at the chance to look at Hampton Bay’s Wi-Fi and cloud-connected Zandra 52-inch ceiling fan. Fellow Gadgeteers, please join me for a deeper look. What is it? The Hampton Bay

ugreen nasync dxp480t 112

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – Having backups of our important digital files is something we should make a priority. Losing all your family photos due to a hard drive failure on your ancient desktop computer is a heartbreak you can avoid by implementing a backup process. NAS devices are a great backup solution, and today I want

CARLUEX PRO+ Wireless CarPlay/Android Auto Adapter review – Add features to your boring car stereo!

CARLUEX PRO Rev 0011

REVIEW – As much as I love my Toyota Tacoma, one thing that it’s lacking is a decent infotainment system. Most car manufacturers still seem to treat this vital part of a car’s configuration as an afterthought, and the older the car, the worse the experience. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto have stepped up to

WURKKOS TS10 V2.0 flashlight review – A well made flashlight with challenges

WURKKOS 12 1

REVIEW – The WURKKOS TS10 V2.0 flashlight is a solid piece of hardware. It has some quirky features that use its miniature colored LEDs, but it shoots a 1400-lumen bright white beam and dials down to a moonlight dim for when a little light will do. It suffers from a couple of challenges. See if

Boomin Belts Belt Buckle Speaker review – my big “waist” of music

boominbelts belt 18

REVIEW – Some people simply cannot be without their music. This is evident when you look around and see the masses wandering around with earbuds and even full-can-style headphones on. Back in the day, boomboxes were all the rage, assuming you could find a friend who would loan you 22 D-cell batteries for a few

Targus ErgoFlip EcoSmart mouse review – An ambidextrous mouse?!

Targus Ergoflip Mouse 5

REVIEW – When the opportunity to review the Targus ErgoFlip EcoSmart Mouse came up, I was intrigued. An ambidextrous mouse? I wanted to see for myself how they achieved the feat and if any sacrifices were made to get that functionality. My daily driver for years has been the Logitech Mx series, so perhaps a

Leatherman Surge Multitool review – “Jack of all trades” tool excellence!

Leatherman Surge 30

REVIEW – I’ve tried hundreds of multitools, but none suit my needs better than Leatherman. I’ve had one as my constant companion since 1984 when the original PST (Personal Survival Tool) replaced a gaggle of gear required for college classes. Initially introduced in 2005, the Leatherman Surge has received a few makeovers and is still
