REVIEW – I love spin bikes because they are low impact but I still get a good workout so when YOSUDA asked me to review their YB007R Magnetic Exercise Bike I had to say yes. Let’s check it out. What is it? The YOSUDA YB007R is a magnetic exercise bike that sports a super quiet […]

REVIEW – I hate painting. Rollers, brushes, it doesn’t matter. Yet, my 50-year-old home badly needs some touch-ups that can’t wait any longer. When I saw this lightweight electric paint sprayer, I thought it would help motivate me to finish some household projects that I’ve been delaying for far too long. What is it? The

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed one other heated vest, the IUREK ZD938, which I like and still use. However, I wanted something a little lighter and different. The Kemimoto is such a vest, and it sports a few new and unique features that make it an attractive option. Kemimoto was also kind enough to send me
REVIEW – Can you believe it’s been almost 10 years since the Apple Watch was first released? My watch band selection has continued to grow over the years as the band interface has remained unchanged. One other constant is the quality of Nomad’s watch bands. The Rocky Point Band is their newest and for me,

REVIEW – After listening to me extol the amazing features of modern e-ink technology, Julie sent me her Onyx Boox Palma, thinking I’d get more use out of it than she had. It was an on-point gift, and I’ve gotten a lot of use out of my Palma. I used it to break my social media

REVIEW – Record players are magic music boxes to me. The whole concept of putting tiny grooves in a plastic disk and then having the pattern transfer back into sound is incredible. My daughter got a record player earlier this year and has started collecting records and I’m fascinated. I grew up in the tape

REVIEW—Modern wireless controllers use plenty of power for force feedback and are often used for extended periods, which means they use a lot of batteries. The Powerextra Fast Charger Battery Pack for Xbox controller has four ready-to-use rechargeable batteries to ensure that controllers have a ready supply of power. I have one to review; read on

REVIEW – Winter is fast approaching, which means I’ll be outside less and inside more. I should have more time for building fun while listening to the sounds of Christmas music. Funwhole’s newest box of building blocks, the Ski Lodge, is the perfect seasonal set to spent a couple afternoons constructing away. What is it?

REVIEW – We Gadgeteers use a lot of tools of various types. Sometimes, they are bulky things like pipe wrenches or hawksbill pliers, but sometimes, especially when working with delicate electronics or mechanical parts, you want a small, deft, precision tool. Such is the tool I am reviewing today, the Titaner TiSpanner 2.0 Compact Titanium
REVIEW – If you’re somewhere between elder millennials to those who remember being the TV remote, you might remember the brief choke hold foldable analog scooters had on us. It didn’t matter how many shin scars you earned – they were fast, easy to store, and a lot of fun. Ok, now, take those feelings (minus

REVIEW – My preferred non-airline travel behavior with respect to charging my electronic devices, be it a phone, watch, tablet, and computer, is to make sure I have the necessary charging cables, a decent-sized power bank supporting both USB-A & USB-C, and some way to charge the power bank, preferably with USB-C, and a charging

REVIEW – My wife and I love to hike, and we spend a many a day traipsing about the foothills of the Appalachians. Sometimes our daughter and son-in-law hike with us, and last year they had their first child. This makes hiking more challenging, because the places we like to go are not amenable to

REVIEW – Transitioning from a decades-old IKEA desk in the corner of my cramped apartment living room to a dedicated office in my new home has been a real game-changer. As I excitedly planned my new workspace, I knew finding the right desk would be crucial and that it was definitely time for a proper
REVIEW – When I told my wife I was going to be reviewing the Sylvox 15.6″ Waterproof TV, her first reaction was “with each of us having our own tablet, why on Earth would we need a portable TV?” And I have to admit, I had the same initial feeling. With the ubiquitous nature of

REVIEW – If you’re starting out in digital art—or even thinking about it—you’ll need a graphics display. You might be thinking, “But, I already have an iPad.” and that’s fine—but I want you also to consider adding a graphics display to your digital arsenal. Why? Unless you do all of your art on an iPad,

REVIEW – Having a good flashlight available and ready when you need is harder than it should be. Whether it’s rechargeable or takes batteries, it seems like more of my flashlights are dead than they are ready to go. The IMALENT LD35 EDC flashlight is designed to address that very issue. Read on to see

REVIEW – I have struggled with insomnia for years and my wife has experienced migraines since childhood. We are always looking for devices that will help with sleep relaxation and hopefully at least with the severity of migraines. Let’s see if this Bob and Brad Eye Massager Oasis 2 works for me. What is it?

REVIEW – Years ago, I bought an external hard drive with a whopping 740 Megabytes. Not Gigabytes, not Terabytes—just Megabytes. It cost hundreds of dollars, and now I work on individual files that are twice as large! How far we’ve come. Today, many hard drives aren’t even drives at all; they’re SSD chips that read

REVIEW – Robot vacuums keep getting smarter, and more powerful, and offer new and innovative features. The other thing they do is keep getting more expensive. The Ecovacs DEEBOT X2 OMNI that I reviewed about eight months ago lists for around $1,500 before any applicable discounts. Lots of folks out there are intrigued by robot

REVIEW – Migrating from my dated iPhone 8 to a bright and shining new iPhone 16 Pro left me in need of one of those all-in-one charging solutions for phone, watch and headphones. My previous all-in-one charging solution was the iLive 3-in-1 Charging Stand which does not support MagSafe charging so I was pleasantly surprised
