REVIEW – The FreeTiger FT51 pocket knife is one sharp cookie – cutter. Sorry if I said that in a previous review, but I was immediately impressed with the sharpness of the blade on this knife and the ‘no cheap feel,’ knowing this knife costs under $30. How will it stand up to my normal […]

REVIEW – I love a clean floor, but I hate cleaning floors, so when something comes along that says it makes cleaning floors nearly “effortless,” I’m all in. Such is the claim of the Eureka New400 floor cleaner. It promises that you can both vacuum and mop at the same time, which could be a

REVIEW – I am a recent convert to the world of cargo bikes (especially electric cargo bikes). I’ve tried out some models in the past but the huge bucket bikes all handled like whales, while other models were hit and miss for sizing, comfort, and cargo flexibility. Earlier this year, though, I was able to

REVIEW – Look at me, on vacation, carrying things! I’m testing the STM BagPack, a packable 15 liter backpack that you can stuff and pack for travel, then pull it our when you get to your destination. But this bag has another secret: it’s got an inflatable laptop sleeve if you need to haul your

REVIEW – We all have data that we need to protect, data like passwords, tax information, financial investments, social security and passport numbers, security clearance information, medical and dental records, and so on. It’s data that we don’t want anyone else to see, and we really don’t want it stolen and used for identity theft.

REVIEW – Typical in-ear earbuds are the pinnacle of portable sound, and can deliver an excellent listening experience. Though by design, they can make hearing what’s going on around you difficult. This isn’t great if you’re running or biking on the road, or in any environment where situational awareness is important. For a while bone

REVIEW – I wear reader glasses every day, pretty much all day. And I remove/place them on my head dozens of times every day. So because of that, the arms of the glasses are always becoming loose so I have to screw them back in, which requires a very small screwdriver. I also, from time

REVIEW – Learning new things is difficult. Improving on them takes looking at your performance objectively, or having a coach who will do so. With today’s video technology, you can now video your performance and review it later, but what if you move around? Enter the Pivo Max, a moving “smart gimbal” for your smart

REVIEW – After testing a few Vosteed knives, I’ve become a big fan. I really like the design, quality, and affordability of their knives, but I have always wondered how they choose their knife names because they don’t seem to follow any rhyme or reason. When I saw the knife above, it reminded me of

REVIEW – I’m on a never-ending, eternal quest to keep things organized. I’ve settled on small victories instead, such as this travel organizer from Inateck. Its clever clamshell design has a nook and cranny for almost anything. What is it? The Inateck Electronics Organizer Travel Case is a series of pouches designed to bring some

REVIEW – To overcome the limited screen real estate of most laptops, your options include investing in an expensive double-screen model, carrying a portable monitor, or using an expansion monitor like the SideTrak Swivel. I have one to review. Read on to see what I think! What is it? The 14″ SideTrak Swivel is a

REVIEW – A galaxy or star projector has been on our wishlist for a while, as we have a toddler rapidly approaching the age where he’ll probably want a nightlight and/or be interested in the stars and planets. Govee offered their new Govee Galaxy Light Projector Pro for review, and it looked perfect for our
REVIEW – We’ve reviewed a LOT of projectors here at The Gadgeteer, but I personally haven’t had the chance to try out a native 4K one yet (though I’ve tested some great 1080P models). The Paris Rhône 4K SP005 LCD Projector looked pretty similar to other one I just reviewed (the KJM K3 1080P projector)
REVIEW – Last year I reviewed Funwhole’s Lakeside Lodge, and it is probably my favorite building block set. It’s amazing how a good set of lights can really enhance the quality of a set, and no one knows how to light a set like Funwhole. I decided to review another set in this same genre

REVIEW – I’ve always been a major movie buff. At one point, I went to the cinema four or five times a week until COVID-19. During this time, cocooning became a thing we all had to do, and golly gee, I missed it. If you have a flair for film or want larger-than-life sports at
REVIEW – Many web sites consider poodles to be the second-smartest dog breed (after the border collie), and we have two them! Elijah and Maggie are toy poodles, and they definitely love a good challenge. Poodles are known for the problem-solving skills and for being quick learners. If you have a smart breed, it’s important

REVIEW – Packing towels for travel is a pain. Most of them need to be fluffy in order to be absorbent, which makes them bulky. Then, they have to flap around in the air to dry. In the last few decades, however, new materials have been developed that give you great absorption without the bulk.

REVIEW – If you haven’t tried out sous vide cooking yet, I highly recommend exploring it! We have had a cheap sous vide cooker for years that we used attached to a large square food storage container and have cooked everything from roasts to seafood, and of course steaks. The resulting meal is almost always

REVIEW – Whenever I get the opportunity to take a look at a new smartphone or tablet, I am always up for the task. Much of the recording and broadcasting work that I do has remote process monitoring built in, so it is always nice to have a capable mobile device that has enough power

REVIEW – I was excited to test out one of those Electric Scooters that one sees almost everywhere nowadays. However, I was not aware of any that support a 250-pound rider. The Caroma E68 PRO Electric Scooter not only supports 250-pound riders but exceeds that supporting riders up to 265-pounds. Read on to see how
