REVIEW – Several years ago, a family of four refugees joined my 4-member family for the better part of a year. With eight in the house, without a tankless water heater like Thermomate’s, someone would have been taking a cold shower. How does the Thermomate CZ422NG perform? Please join me for a closer look! ⬇︎ Jump […]

REVIEW – The Apple Watch first came out in 2015, and though I’m not really sure why, I’m a little embarrassed to say I have been on that bandwagon ever since that first year. It has been great for me, and I don’t have any really big complaints, but I have always been curious to

REVIEW – A good charger is invaluable to have around with all of the electronics that we have nowadays. They provide portability and convenience (assuming they’re charged and your kids didn’t leave you a dead one). The Ark Power Bank Max, today subject, takes the concept of convenience to the next level and I was

REVIEW – Lots of golfers love using GPS devices to track their shots and determine the distance to the pin. These devices show you the course layout and where hazards might ruin your day. The issue is that distances are based on general pin positions and aren’t always accurate. Lots of other golfers prefer laser

REVIEW – One of the most difficult things you run into when owning a pool is keeping it clean. In Idaho pool season is also a fairly short window of time in the summer months, but the need to keep it clean is still important. Enter today’s review, the BuBlue BuHybrid L6 Pool Cleaner. It

REVIEW – I consider myself pretty normal (bold, I know) and I got excited about the COSORI Kettle after the first use. I can justify the emotion if you read on. The COSORI Kettle replaced our old-tech hot pot that would surely boil water, but we don’t usually want it boiled. The COSORI Kettle has

REVIEW – As an admitted crazy cat lady, keeping my cat happy and giving her things that she, as a senior kitty can use, is important. Every cat tree I have is tiered so she can climb it, and there are three sets of stairs throughout the house for her. The Mau Reiya cat tree

REVIEW – Someone who didn’t cook designed my kitchen. I say that because it’s not particularly user friendly. There is no place for a trash can, so I’ve struggled for years to figure out where to put one, how to handle the recycling, and a million other issues. OHWILL rolled out a dual can that

If you are a digital artist, you may have noticed that drawing displays have become remarkably good and affordable. Gone are the days when buying a drawing display almost required you to take out a second mortgage. We have XPPen and Huion to thank for that. Drawing display maker Wacom now has true competition. Just

REVIEW – Holy Stone is a prolific manufacturer of affordable drones and accessories. One of their latest models, the Holy Stone HS790 GPS 6K Camera Drone with 3 Axis Gimbal, is a budget-friendly alternative to the more expensive DJI drones (which are very hard to get at the time of this writing). This drone was

REVIEW – The Kaweco Sport pen has a good history. It was created in 1911 as a pocket pen for sportsmen. It is made of durable resin plastic and has no pocket clip. To me it’s a perfect pen for pants or jacket pockets. But if a fountain pen writes poorly or leaks ink, those

REVIEW – Lately, I find myself entangled in a net of cables and a pile of power supplies. There’s a drawer next to me that’s virtually overflowing with USB wall chargers and cords, so anything that minimizes cable clutter, like Joyroom’s PODIX 140W GaN charger, grabs my attention. ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $79.00 and up
REVIEW – I love a good garden gadget. Anything that makes garden or flower bed work faster or easier is always a bonus in my book. The Yofidra Electric Tiller is a small, lightweight tiller that looks like it will definitely fit that bill and I had to see if it was capable of handling

REVIEW – I’ve been a “photography enthusiast” for about 15 years. I have spent more money on camera and related equipment than I’d like to acknowledge. I’ve gone from DSLR cameras to mirrorless, switching brands from Canon to Sony and also diving into the Fujifilm world. Regardless of all that….I still need a comfortable and

REVIEW – SwitchBot’s S10 Floor Cleaning Robot has ruled the roost since I reviewed it last year (read it here). I liked it so much, I bought a second one, so both floors get the scrubbing love they need. I continue to be elated with the autonomous filling and emptying, its ability to effortlessly switch
REVIEW – I wrote a news post not too long ago about the Cozyla Calendar+ 2 digital calendar, and I’ve wanted to review one ever since. So when the Dragon Touch Digital Calendar came up for review, I was given the opportunity to try it out. It focuses on giving you a large (21.5″) view
