REVIEW – Portable gaming monitors have been fairly expensive since the first models hit the market since the panels made for gaming are more demanding than your average consumer panels. Many gamers today demand high refresh rates and minimal input lag, especially if they’re using said portable monitor for e-sports or other fast-paced titles. Previously […]
REVIEW – We’ve reviewed many power stations here at the Gadgeteer, partly because they’re so versatile. You can use them for emergency backup power for computers, tablets, phones, or pretty much any other device. Paired with a good solar panel (or two) you can create an off-grid energy solution for camping, RV’s, and many other
Acenergy S1200 Portable Power Station review – a nice larger power station option Read More
REVIEW – I have had a robot vacuum in my house since 2018, when I reviewed the Deenkee I7 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner. Since then, robot vacuum cleaners have come a long way in being more efficient and offering other functions like mopping and vacuuming. In my ongoing effort to keep my house clean with as

REVIEW – In our house, we have a central location where everyone, family and friends alike, can come to charge their iPhones and iPads. In the past, I used an Anker USB charger with five USB-A ports for this purpose. These days, most of our gadgets use USB-C, so it’s time to update the charger.

REVIEW – As camping season approaches, I’ve been looking for ways to stay out in the wilderness a bit longer. So, I’m dipping my toes into yet another expensive hobby, overlanding. Overlanding is all about exploring remote and rugged areas using off-road vehicles for extended periods of time. To that end, I’ve been researching portable
EcoFlow Glacier 3-in-1 portable refrigerator review – Keep things ice-cold on the go! Read More
REVIEW – If you’re into mechanical keyboards, you’ve undoubtedly heard of the website DROP and know of their great CTRL, ALT, and ENTR keyboards. If you’ve been above ground for the past 20-30 years, you’ll have heard of Pokemon. Now what if I told you Drop teamed up with an artist, Sakshi Mangal, to create
DROP Expression Series Togekey keyboard review – Gotta catch them all? Read More
REVIEW – Here at The Gadgeteer, we all know that everything is better with lasers. As a way to measure the validity of that statement (see what I did there?), we’re going to look at the DP20Pro Smart Bilateral Laser measuring tool from Mileseey. Is it an improvement over your basic tape measure? There is
REVIEW – It’s summer and that means one thing: end of school parties, graduation parties, barbeque and pool parties. The pressure is on me as a gadgeteer to have the most innovative party stuff, since my friends have come to expect at least one cool thing on display every time I throw a get-together. I’m

REVIEW – I’ve always been attracted to products that are designed to do more than one function. That’s why the WORX Aerocart caught my eye when I first saw it. I immediately imagined all the work that I could get done using one tool instead of many. Let’s check out this transformer yard cart from
WORX Aerocart review – The ultimate multi-tool yard cart! Read More
REVIEW – I like using multiple monitors. I’m not a stock trader or gamer but I’ve used many setups over the years with multiple monitors and I’ve always enjoyed being able to keep multiple things in front of me so I can have an app for writing on one monitor, while keeping an eye on
MagicRaven 16” 2.5K 3:2 Portable Monitor review – portable, powerful, pixels Read More
REVIEW – Back in May of 2022, I reviewed Pitaka’s MagEZ Slider. There was a lot to like and a couple of things to improve upon. Version 2 is now out and they’ve addressed pretty much everything I was looking for. As luck would have it, I had a week long tradeshow during this review
Pitaka MagEZ Slider 2 review – Faster, better, stronger Read More
CROWDFUNDING REVIEW – It’s time to get all science-y folks as today, we’re going to explore the mysteries of electrolyzed water. Per Wikipedia: Electrolysed water (electrolyzed water, EOW, ECA, electrolyzed oxidizing water, electro-activated water, or electro-chemically activated water solution) is produced by the electrolysis of ordinary tap water containing dissolved sodium chloride. The electrolysis of

REVIEW – For the past two years, my wife and I have been working on the landscape at the front of our home. My wife is very good at creating beautiful landscapes, and based on the results of her work in our garden, her skills are pretty obvious. The only task that I am responsible

REVIEW – When is enough, enough? I don’t know yet, but I’m having fun finding out! Today, I’m looking at the SR32 Polaris flashlight from Imalent. I previously tested the Imalent MS08 and RS50 flashlights that put out 34,000 lumens as a floodlight and 20,000 lumens as a spotlight respectively. Both are incredibly bright, but
REVIEW – I think we’ve got at least a dozen random power banks at this point scattered around our house, with quality and usefulness varying wildly between them. Most aren’t capable of charging anything larger than a tablet though, and even the ones that can charge laptops do so very slowly until you get to
Baseus Blade laptop power bank review – slim but hopefully not shady Read More
REVIEW – Portable monitors have exploded over the last few years, with a wide variety of brands and sizes, though most tend to be the ~15″ 1080P sort. I’ve seen a couple of gaming-focused portable monitors, but many have been a low 60 Hz refresh rate, which isn’t the best for gaming. Models with high
REVIEW – Summer is coming, and it’s going to get hot here in the south. I need a way to keep to our toy poodles from getting too roasty-toasty, and I’m hoping that this cooling pet mat from Rywell will help them out. What is it? The Rywell Arc-Chill pet cooling mat is a mat
Rywell Arc-Chill pet cooling mat review – cool to the touch Read More
REVIEW – I entered the world of electric cars last year in July when I purchased a Chevrolet Bolt. I went for the Bolt over a Tesla, mainly because of the significant price difference. I love the car; it has been a very enjoyable experience. 99.9% of my charging is done at home on a
J+ Booster 2 electric vehicle charger review – Now my Bolt can charge almost anywhere! Read More
REVIEW – Last October, my brother (the real woodworker) and I reviewed the Atezr P20 Plus laser engraving machine. Despite a few quirks—addressed in this review—we quite liked the engraver. In fact, my brother still uses it to make great gifts and a few money-making side projects. This review is a follow-up to the P20

REVIEW – I have somewhat of an extensive home network that probably only appeals to IT geeks like me. The last time that I checked, I have approximately 120 network devices (wired/wireless) connected to my network. I have been fortunate to be able to review several robust network devices designed for business use but still
