REVIEW – There are more and more occasions that a good pair of earbuds can save you a whole lot of grief. I’m talking about mowing the lawn, power tools, drowning out the gamer sitting behind you, or you just need some quiet study time. Those moments that a nice soothing song and some noise […]

REVIEW – Summertime is travel time and that means I’ve got to keep my power banks handy. You never know what the power situation will be on a flight, and as a gadgeteer, I’ve got way too many things that need charging. Between the watch, the ring, the earbuds, the tablets and my phone, I’m

REVIEW – As I’ve gotten older, I developed what’s called Interstitial Lung Disease. In a nutshell, I can’t exert myself as I once did with yard work, especially in the hot, humid Florida climate. That resulted in having to spend hundreds of dollars per month for a lawn service (we have a 1-acre backyard). When

REVIEW – Many people are still work-from-home and also want to game or do personal computing at the same desk that they work from at home, and that’s where a KVM can help. I personally have to switch between computers fairly often and end up swapping 2 or 3 cables a few times a week
REVIEW – Each May, we give our pool vacuum a good workout when we open our inground pool for the year. At the end of last season, our third pool vacuum died. When we saw the option to review the AIRROBO PC10, we knew we’d put it to good use. This is our fourth vacuum

REVIEW – I have a Ninja blender and coffee maker so I have only associated Ninja with small kitchen appliances. When they asked me to review their new FlexFlame Propane Grill and Cooking System I had no idea they even made grills. Well, turns out they make a lot of products I had no idea
REVIEW – I recently had to get rid of a couple of pieces of furniture that had just worn out after years and years of use and I’ve been on the lookout for a good replacement chair. I needed something that wasn’t too big and the OHWILL Swivel Rocker Recliner chair came along and looked

REVIEW – I’m a bit of a productivity nerd and like trying a variety of apps, systems, and methodologies. But the one thing I always have problems with is focusing. If something can distract me, it will. So I was happy to accept an offer from New Thing Lab to test out a prototype of

REVIEW – In the last few months I’ve seen several police officers and insurance brokers talk about the importance of getting a dash camera for cars, so I’ve been on the lookout for a good camera I can put in the car my kids have been driving around. I have an older Pontiac Vibe that

REVIEW – I have reviewed several e-bikes for The Gadgeteer and, in doing so, have found a new hobby. Each one has been different in some way from the last. Different-sized wheels. More or less powerful motors. Rear-drive or mid-drive motor. 1, 2, or 3 batteries. So many options. Another interest of mine would be

REVIEW – I love that companies are developing a variety of hobby 3D printers for makers. Being able to bring my ideas to life is amazing! PioCreat is a subsidiary of Creality and recently completed a successful Kickstarter campaign for their new HALOT-X1 resin 3D printer, and I was given the opportunity to review it,
REVIEW – We do a lot of stuff on our phones. Even non-gadget folks are nearly joined bio-mechanically to these slabs of glass, silicon, and metal. Due to my habitual enjoyment of biking (I’m not addicted! I can quit any time I want to!), I was really excited when Julie offered the team a motorcycle-quality

REVIEW – Is it just me, or does Titaner have a new EDC gadget every other day? Ok, that’s an exaggeration – slightly. But seriously, Titaner is always introducing cool new gear for everyday carry fans and today I get the pleasure of showing you the Mix 3.0 ruler. ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons) Price: $149.00 Where

REVIEW – Hey folks! It’s me again with another keyboard review. This time it’s the VARMILO Minilo75 HE. I’ve been wanting to try a Varmilo keyboard for quite some time now.

REVIEW – I have a relatively small yard so I was looking at retiring my old gas mower and getting a battery powered one when Toro asked me to review their new 60V Toro 30” eTimeMaster mower. Their 60V battery line has over 75 compatible tools so I was eager to try it out and
REVIEW – There are a wide variety of laser engravers and tools out on the market today. Many of them are built on very similar frameworks and are difficult to distinguish one from another. The AlgoLaser Pixi Smart Laser Engraver is definitely not in that camp. It is a small, boxy laser engraver with a
