REVIEW – I wake up pretty early and when my alarm goes off abruptly I can get pretty annoyed at it. I also live in the Pacific Northwest where the cold wet winters can get a little depressing so I’ve wanted to try a sunrise alarm and a light therapy or circadian rhythm lamp for […]

REVIEW – For those Gadgeteer readers who have been following my journey to outfit my gym, you would have read my recent exercise equipment review featuring the Freebeat Boom Exercise bike. Now I get a chance to add variety and versatility to my workout with this Merach E09 Auto Electromagnetic Elliptical Machine. What is it?

REVIEW – A couple of years ago we got e-bikes after hearing all our friends bragging about all the fun they were having with their e-bikes. And we learned real quick how much fun these things are! We got folding e-bikes from Lectric because we wanted to be able to take them places in the

REVIEW – I had a ton of fun reviewing the Yadea ElitePrime electric scooter. Since then, I have been looking for a scooter to let me go faster than 19mph. I know there are some scooters out there that can easily hit 40-plus miles an hour. I also know that I would be stupid enough

REVIEW – We are in an era of smart things. Smartphones. Smartwatches. But smart furniture? I didn’t even know this was a thing that I needed. But it turns out that I did! There is this chair in our family room that the kids love to sit in. Because of that, it usually has a
REVIEW – I have reviewed lots of Bluetooth speakers here at the Gadgeteer. Some have been better than others. But I have reviewed some Treblab products over the years and generally had good success with their products. So the Treblab HD-Mini Bluetooth speaker at $39.97 seemed like a steal. Let’s check it out! What is

REVIEW – Most external monitors (even the fancy ones) don’t have built-in webcams, and if they do it’s nothing to write home about. Most laptops do have one built in, but they’re almost always just “good-enough”. Even a great, built-in webcam cannot match what’s possible for a webcam with a cutting edge image sensor, gimbal,
REVIEW – In my multi-year career as an art director and children’s book designer, I’ve used quite a few graphics tablets. And over the past few years, I’ve reviewed many other graphics tablets, both with and without screens. Some I now use every day in my work—I like them that much. And while I may

REVIEW – If you’ve been following our site at all, you’ll know we get quite a few power stations in for review. This being (checks calendar…) a normal month, we have yet another station in. Power stations are great for creating a solar generator setup, for camping and other outdoor use, or for home backup

REVIEW – Recently I have been looking to make my daily workflows as portable and efficient as possible, and some of the effort has been focused on having a tablet in various locations of my home so that wherever I am I can just grab one and access the internet, etc. This Blackview Tab 8

REVIEW – The Lumos Ultra Fly Helmet with Firefly Light did its pre-launch validation campaign on Prelaunch.com that gave invaluable insights including market interest, user preferences, and feedback with a Prelaunch score of 69 which indicated that the product is primed for success. Now the pre-ordering is underway on their website. Production is in the

REVIEW – There’s no shortage of gaming controller options on the market, with some designed specifically for certain consoles while others try to target both Windows and Xbox or Playstation consoles. Rarely do I see one trying to do as much as the PowerA MOGA XP-ULTRA Multi-Platform Wireless Controller though, with support for wireless and
REVIEW – You gotta love a company like Tribit. Why? The reason is simple—Tribit makes products that perform exactly as advertised, are reasonably priced, and just plain work. I’ve reviewed 8 different Tribit audio products and my favorite is also the least expensive—the Tribit StormBox Micro2 speaker. This little wonder, as do most of Tribit’s
REVIEW – There’s a huge range of electric skateboards on the market with more coming every year. There’s short boards, long boards, fast boards, slow boards, and price points from a few hundred dollars (or even lower) to multiple thousands of dollars. Maxfind has 7 different models for different types of riders and styles, and

REVIEW – Is it possible to have too many building block sets? I doubt it. I’m looking for another fantastic set to join my lakeside lodge and my massive lighthouse. I’m hoping that the new T-Rex from JMBricklayer will find a home on my bookshelf. What is it? The JMBricklayer T-Rex Dinosaur is a LEGO-compatible

REVIEW – The first toiletry travel bag I ever had was from the early 1980s. It was a vinyl zip up bag that came with my Remington shaver. It eventually cracked and dissolved from years of use and exposure to DEET bug repellent. I’m not quite as adventurous now but the WaterField Travel Toiletry Bag

REVIEW – The ORFELD EV696 Pro Vacuum Cleaner lies down on the job! Apart from this vacuum being cordless and rechargeable, that may be its best feature. We have some powerful corded vacuums in our home, that cannot go under beds. We’ve always had to move large beds to vacuum underneath them. No more. The

REVIEW – Laptops share many similarities with automobiles. Every year new models of each are introduced with new features and both laptop and car costs reflect the engine size, refinements, and power reserves. I have an ACEMAGIC AX15 laptop to review which is like an economy car. Read on to see what I think! What

REVIEW – We tend to get a slew of electric bikes to review here at The Gadgeteer. There are so many manufacturers and models these days. Some look like traditional bikes while others look like they belong in a utopian sci-fi movie. The Euybike S4 long-range moped-style electric bike comes along, does something a little

REVIEW – Last summer, my mother’s pool filter sprung a leak, spewing thousands of gallons of water out onto her lawn in minutes. Had she not been there, the loss could have resulted in losing its prime and damage to the motor. A camera like SwitchBot Outdoor Spotlight cam and remote switch could save the
