ILIFE T10s Robot Vacuum review – not ready for prime time

ilife t10s 1

REVIEW – Recently there have been some security issues with gadgets containing cameras, including Roomba robotic vacuum cleaners, where pictures taken in the privacy of the home wound up in public places.  In light of these issues, I’ve decided to replace the Yeedi vac 2 pro robot vacuum that we are currently using, as it

PITAKA MagEZ Folio 2 iPad Pro cover review – A folding cover for your tablet

pitaka magez folio 2 1

REVIEW – I have a weird relationship with the iPad. I buy one, don’t use it, sell it, buy another, rarely use it, sell it… you get the idea. Right now I have the 2022 11-inch iPad Pro which I’ve been using to read books, and comics, and even draw (redraw) one of my own

Emotn N1 Netflix officially licensed projector review – a great 1080P projector choice

emotn projector 10

REVIEW – Like many other products, the projector world can be sorted into tiers based on performance and functionality. At the bottom of the group are the cheap, dim, hard-to-focus low definition models that might not even include any smart functionality. I’d class the next group into a mid-tier, where most have much better optical

whatgeek 3inus 15

CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – I’ve been reviewing quite a few mechanical keyboards lately because I’m on a personal quest to find the perfect one for my computer setup/workflow. The newest mechanical keyboard that I’m testing is the Whatgeek x 3inuS Kebohub EE01 mechanical keyboard which is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter. This is no ordinary keyboard

YARGO YP100 100W solar panel review – lightweight and works great

Yargo SolarPanel 6

REVIEW – Every time we get a power bill, our carrier makes a point of showing us that we are using way, way more energy than our neighbors. While we try to be conscious of our power usage by using energy-efficient appliances and turning off lights we’re not using, it still makes us feel bad.

Olafus 80W Outdoor Motion Sensor LED Security Light review

Olafus Led Security Light 4 1

REVIEW – Living in the suburbs of NY is a nice life, but it is not one to take for granted. Many folks believe that the further into the suburbs they move, the less crime exists. I believe that crime occurs everywhere, and unless specifically targeted, setting up cameras and security lights creates a visible

powdeom power station 09

REVIEW – I’ve reviewed quite a few power stations with the Gadgeteer so far, and I have my own list of what I like to see on my ideal power station: ETA to full/empty while in use, LiFePO4 battery chemistry, enough AC/USB/DC options to charge the various things I need to charge on the go

Rollin Light Smart RGBW Recessed Lighting review – Crisp, clear, luscious light!

Rollin Light 6 inch RGBCW lights 02

  REVIEW –  I remember buying my first Light Emitting Diodes from Radio Shack in the 70s. They were anemic red and a pair was $1.99. In 2023 dollars, that would be over $9.  Now for about $90 ($15 each), Rollin Light sells a six-pack of room-filling LED lights! How do they work? Let’s have

Sportneer Elite D9 percussive massage gun review – A percussive pugilist with a powerful punch

sportneer elite D9 percussive massager 1

REVIEW – I’m getting a little long in the tooth. Enough so that whenever I do yard work, my back hurts. It’s from doing stupid things in my youth that I’d rather not comment on. I’ve tried rubs, ointments, salves, patches, you name it. So, when the Sportneer Elite D9 percussive massage gun came up

REVIEW – They say you should never buy groceries when you are hungry. I’m not sure the same when reviewing items, but it didn’t hurt. This time I get to make lunch with the VEVOR Commercial Sandwich Panini Press Grill. What is it? This panini press is equipped with a cast iron grill covered in
