REVIEW – I have been a coffee lover for most of my life (starting with coffee-flavored Jelly Belly’s in childhood). After my young adult years drinking office coffee and cheap K-cups at home, I realized how much joy a good espresso brought me.

REVIEW – Every time I get my hands on a Bluetooth speaker, there’s only one question in my tiny little mind: How’s the bass?

REVIEW – I reviewed the BLUETTI Swapsolar Multicooler last year, but when we took it on a weekend trip, we realized it was much larger than we needed for a short trip. I’ve been on the hunt for a good smaller cooler ever since, and the offer to review the BODEGACOOLER 12 volt Car Refrigerator

REVIEW – I’ve gone through dozens of keyboards in my years working and gaming with computers, ranging from the worst mushy cheap keyboards in my college days to some very excellent mechanical keyboards in recent years.

REVIEW – The Yeedi S14 Plus Robot Vacuum and Mop does it all: vacuums, mops, empties its own dustbin and dirty water, and cleans and dries the mop pad.
