REVIEW – My vehicle doesn’t support CarPlay or Android Auto and it doesn’t support aftermarket systems because the built-in display is so integrated into the rest of the vehicle. I thought I’d just have to wait until I purchased another vehicle to be able to use CarPlay until I was given the opportunity to review

REVIEW – Back in 2016, I got to review the Teufel Raumfeld wireless speakers. Teufel—a successful European Audio company— was trying to enter the US market with the Raumfeld system. Their Stereo M speakers were some of the best I’ve ever heard. Unfortunately, the speakers only worked with Teufel’s Wifi system and not Bluetooth. As
REVIEW – The garden hose is one of those essential household items that you have to have, but can also make you crazy. I swear I go through one every season. Enter the HOMEIDEAS 50 ft Rubber Garden Hose with Nozzle. It’s a little more expensive than typical bargain hoses, but it professes to be

REVIEW – I’m fortunate to have 12 acres of wooded property in a rural area of southern Indiana. I have several wired security cameras mounted on my house and garage, but only recently have I started adding cameras further away from my WiFi’s signal coverage. Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to review the
REVIEW – I travel a lot. I carry a lot of stuff. Chargers, battery packs, cables – all the junk I need to be able to power all the doo-dads I travel with. Being able to power an electron-hungry laptop is critical for me as I regularly do some battery-consuming laptop work while I sit

REVIEW – If you’re feeling claustrophobic working from just your laptop display, a display extension system may be the productivity boon you’ve been looking for. While you could just plug into an external monitor, these systems are purpose built for portability and modularity. We’re having a look at the Redalf Laptop Screen Extender kit to

REVIEW – Every fall when school starts it seems like I need new headphones for my kids. Between testing, online lessons, music, and whatever else is going on, headphones are a must on the list of back to school items and I’m lucky if any given pair survives the year. iClever approached us with a

REVIEW – Vacuums are a necessity. They are usually heavily function-based, designed to clean, clunky, and cumbersome to use. The Ultenic U16 Flex Cordless Vacuum is part of the new design of vacuums that deliver on being lightweight, easy to use, and maybe even enjoyable to use. How well did this newer design and functionality

REVIEW – It has been a hot summer across the board for everyone this year and having a cold drink readily at hand is almost a necessity. The icemaker on my refrigerator stopped working and we’ve been left without an easy source of ice while we figure out a fix. Enter the GoveeLife Countertop Ice

REVIEW – If you’ve ever used a MagSafe stand or accessory with an iPhone, then you know how convenient and secure that system is. Apple uses similar magnets in their iPad Pro lineup for their own proprietary Apple Keyboard, and this means that third party accessory makers can create things to utilize this system as

REVIEW – If you’re looking for the latest and greatest tactical knife that you can fidget with all day long, turn away now. This one is for Case fans, fans of slip joints, and fans of knife designs like your Granddaddy used to carry. I love all kinds of knives but Case knives always provide
REVIEW – You’ve probably used a french press to make coffee at some point by now. You’ve probably also used a thermos to keep your precious coffee hot. What would you say if I told you they could be the same thing and make great cups (plural) of coffee? Enter the BruTrek 48 from Planetary

REVIEW – When you look at the current crop of wireless speakers, it becomes obvious that they tend to resemble each other—lots of speaker grills showing with controls lined up along the top. The new Edifier D32 Wireless Speaker eschews that look and travels back in time to when speakers were also radios and looked

The SPERAS TH4 4-in-1 Hunting Flashlight came up for review and I was intrigued by the features. A good flashlight is worth the effort and when

REVIEW – When it comes to Android devices, my favorite brand right now is OnePlus. I have enjoyed using the OnePlus Open folding smartphone and the OnePlus 12, but one OnePlus device that I’ve yet to try is its earbuds. That changed when I was given the opportunity to review the OnePlus Buds Pro 3

REVIEW— I’ve worked with and on electronic devices for at least 30 years, and one thing I’ve learned is that they’re all dust magnets. In the past, I’ve relied on canned air or an air compressor to eliminate the nuisance. Years ago, I bought a rechargeable air duster but was quickly disappointed with its performance.
