TerraMaster D6-320 6-bay external hard disk enclosure review – wonderfully boring

TerraMaster D6 320 12

REVIEW – I’m not sure how long this review of the TerraMaster D6-320 6-bay External Hard Disk Enclosure will be. Once set up and turned on, the D6-320 just kinda sits there doing its thing—and not much else. So, is there anything to say about a boring product such as this? I can say that […]

FUNTOK 24V 7AH 2 Seater Kids Electric Ride on Car review – I would have killed for this car when I was a kid

FUNTOK 24V 7AH 2 Seater Kids Electric Ride on Car 27

REVIEW – I was always envious of other kids with battery powered cars when I was a kid, but as I grew up I found out that those 80’s era children’s cars tended to have battery lives in the 10’s of minutes and you were lucky if they could go faster than 2 miles an

Ultimea Apollo S50 Detachable Soundbar review – Better TV sound, with a few options!

Ultimea soundbar 7

REVIEW – It used to be that you had two choices for TV audio – the tiny speakers that are built into TVs or large home theater systems with many speakers that dominate the room.  Then soundbars became popular and added a third option for folks that wanted much better sound than a TV can

NYXI Wizard wireless gaming controller review – Add a little retro spice to your Switch

nyxi wizard 2

REVIEW – Much to my wife’s chagrin, I’ve recently gotten back into video games. Luckily for her, it’s now on the hand-me-down Nintendo my son gave me. Now I’m not hogging the TV. She can watch what she wants and I can happily spend way too many hours exploring Hyrule. Since the original Joycons are

Outphorce HS1 cordless, portable, hand vacuum with blower review

outphorce car vac 1

REVIEW – I hate cleaning out my car, mainly because I have to drag our upright home vacuum cleaner out to the garage and wrestle it around the car to vacuum out the inside.  It’s a pain, and if you have ever done that yourself, you know what I am talking about.  Now, we do

ProtoArc Split Keyboard 3

REVIEW – I am well into the process of upgrading my home office/studio to better handle my Podcast recordings, my photography and videography post-production and my time spent writing reviews.

XTOOL IP819 02 scaled e1703787288169

REVIEW – Cars today are rolling computers now so if you want to figure out what your check engine light means you need an OBDII port scanner device. XTOOL asked me to review their new InPlus IP819 Smart Diagnostics Tool, so I jumped at the chance to see how my 13-year-old car is holding up.

INSE H1 handheld cordless vacuum review – It sucks in the best way

INse 4

REVIEW – A car wash at my local place is now $25 for the basic inside and outside scrub down.  They do a good job, but can I afford $25 a trip?  Nope.  That’s why I’ve gotten quite good at cleaning my own car.  The outside always looks great, but getting the carpets clean has

ALLPOWERS S2000 Pro Portable Power Station review – a decent 1500 Wh power station with RV plug

ALLPOWERS S2000 Pro Portable Power Station 06

REVIEW – If you’re looking for power stations in the 1000-2000 Wh range, there’s a huge range of options so you’ll probably be looking most closely at factors like longevity, port selection, and cost. One of the features I have rarely seen so far is the inclusion of a high-amperage RV style port, but today

COZYINN walking pad review – Get your steps in with this mini treadmill

Cozyinn WalkingPad 1

REVIEW – I can be found walking outside in all kinds of weather, from the steamiest summer days to drizzly winter days. However, on the rainiest, coldest, darkest days, I like the idea of an indoor workout. I also have trouble sitting still after hours of working on my computer. The COZYINN walking pad compact

Carbon8 sparkling water dispenser review – Ditch the bottles with this gadget!

Carbon87

REVIEW –  If you’re a sparkling water lover, then you know the first world problems I’m about to outline.  Lugging bottles around the grocery,  into the car and then inside your home is a pain.  Storing the bottles can be difficult.  Reaching the bottom third of your bottle to find that the carbonation is pretty

Oukitel BT20 Smartwatch review – A mix of great, and ‘opportunities’

OUKITEL 3

REVIEW – The Oukitel BT20 Smartwatch carries the same brand name as large, portable power stations Gadgeteer reviewers have published here. It figures it has a large-ish battery, but at $60 how close to ‘smart’ is this watch? I’ve reviewed some doozies before and this price range usually marks where I approach with lower expectations.
