Worx Nitro 40V Snowblower 30

REVIEW – Some years ago, I had a snowblower with a gas engine of a similar size and shape to the Worx in this review. It was frequently frustrating and a pain in the patoot to start. The fuel smelled awful, stalled at the most inopportune times, and I damaged my rotator cuff trying to

Ugreen PowerRoam 2200 14

It’s big, it’s heavy, it’s powerful and

WeCreat Vision 01

REVIEW – I previously reviewed the Ortur Laser Master 3 laser engraver that used an open frame design and although I did like it there were a few shortcomings. The open design meant I had to keep my garage doors open for ventilation but also curious kids kept wanting to look at the bare laser

Longer B1 40W Laser Engraver with Air Assist review – Serious engraving and cutting power isn’t a toy.

Longer B1 40W laser engraver 19

REVIEW – I previously reviewed Longer’s 30W B1 with air assist (read it here) and have loved it since. The combination of raw power, ultra-fast cutting, and air assist made it the go-to machine for engraving and cutting. They’ve released an even more powerful version, topping at 48 watts for the fastest results. Please join

HYSapientia HYS AFO 01A Air Fryer 07

REVIEW – I’ve used an air fryer for several years and appreciate its utility, speed, and convenience. I use it far more than my oven, it doesn’t turn my kitchen into a sauna in the summer months, and reducing the amount of oil I consume is a healthy bonus. HYSapientia’s Air Fryer Oven has impressive
