REVIEW – Mini PCs have become all the rage, with Raspberry Pi in 2012 and Intel’s NUC platform in 2013 doing a lot to push the popularity of the form factor. While mini often means low (or lower) performance, there is a wide variety of price and performance levels and these PCs have a lot […]

REVIEW – When we bought our house 2 years ago we had hard floors and carpet put in. Our main vacuum was a huge, heavy plug-in that could suck a floor mat off the floor and destroy it. We added a self-cleaning robot vacuum which is good for a weekly run around the house, but

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – In my question to try all the mechanical keyboards that are currently on the market, I was approached to review on that isn’t on the market -yet. It’s the NocFree Lite 60% compact split wireless mechanical keyboard which is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter. Let’s put our fingers on the home row

REVIEW – It’s the holiday season and while that’s a busy time, it also comes right before another busy time: tax season. I still get a million paper copies of tax forms and in the past I’ve mailed them, which just seems like I’m asking for trouble. This year I’m scanning them with the Epson
REVIEW – Camera drones rely on banking to pitch forwards and backward or to roll left or right. When the drone banks, so does the camera unless the drone has a 3-axis gimble, like the Holy Stone HS720R, to compensate for the tilting. I have one to review – read on to see what I think!

REVIEW – We’re out on the trails again! The OpenRock S Air Conduction Sports Earbuds are designed for exercise & outdoor activities delivering excellent sound quality, durability, and battery life. I recently tested the older model (the OpenRock Pro), so this review will evaluate the new design and compare/contrast this model to it’s predecessor. Let’s

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed many things for The Gadgeteer, but one thing I have yet to review is a portable power station. I don’t know much about them other than that they are handy during sudden power outages. So, I decided to change that by accepting a review for one. If you’re new to power
REVIEW – Brrrr! The weather is getting colder again in the Midwest and hockey season is already in full swing for us. I’m always cold and always looking for options to stay warm whether it is at the rink or walking my dogs every morning. After reviewing the iHood women’s lightweight heated vest last year,

REVIEW – There is a lot of content production that goes on in my household. Between the photography, videography, and related social media content creation for various online platforms, we have a lot of lighting needs and in some cases a need for good portable lighting. We use several types of lighting and we have

REVIEW – I have a peg board on one of the walls of my home studio, and on it, there are approximately 15 or so headphones of different makes and models. Several of them are wired and several are wireless, I am always looking for something new and different that looks good, feels good to

REVIEW – Only a few months ago I reviewed one of the most interesting power stations I’d seen yet: the Runhood RALLYE 600 Pro Power Station. The premise of a power station with hot-swappable batteries seems perfect for many power station scenarios like camping or RV trips, and the versatility added with solar charging and
REVIEW – I recently began a journey to build a custom keyboard. I had a list of requirements, a couple of known parts I wanted, and the drive to go a-huntin’ for parts. Luckily, I wasn’t locked into a specific case or PCB and I was willing to make some compromises. I went to several
REVIEW – If you ask a dozen witnesses for a report of an event, you’ll get 12 different versions. When stuff happens, dashcams like Pelsee’s P12 Pro Max dashcam should be an integral part of every chariot for protection from shenanigans or reminisce of road trips! Let’s have a closer look… What is it?
REVIEW – I have been working on finishing part of my basement to turn it into a comfy social area. However, no amount of paint and carpeting is going to change the fact it’s a basement room with concrete walls. While the colder atmosphere is great in the summer, during the winter it gets a

REVIEW – Continuing a streak of DEERC RC car reviews, this time I have the DEERC H16R Brushless 1:16 4×4 RC Truck in to check out. Both of the previous DEERC RC cars have been a blast and are holding up well (no issues with either). This new H16R RC truck appears to be a

REVIEW – For many years I have used a Gillette Power Proglide as my go-to shaver for my face and bald head. Every so often, I test a battery-powered electric shaver hoping to find one that can shave just as smooth as the Gillette and is easy to travel with. After all, the Gillette replacement

REVIEW – If you’ve ever spent time working from your computer while in a dark room, the brightness of the monitor can become uncomfortable. One way to address this is by adding light around the workspace, though the challenge then becomes keeping the light source from creating glare on the monitor itself. Monitor light bars

REVIEW – Electric scooters are all the rage among city commuters. They are generally light, portable, powerful, and efficient. I’ve tried several, and as someone over 6 feet tall, I often feel cramped. And with height comes weight (190 lb, in my case), and with weight comes a need for power. Enter the InMotion S1

REVIEW – Dash cameras have become inexpensive, small, and the quality of the imagery has really improved in the last few years. With all that improvement, it seems like a no-brainer to get a dash cam. At best, you could protect yourself in a lawsuit or dispute with an insurance company. Or you can just
