REVIEW – It used to be that you had two choices for TV audio – the tiny speakers that are built into TVs or large home theater systems with many speakers that dominate the room. Then soundbars became popular and added a third option for folks that wanted much better sound than a TV can […]

REVIEW – Much to my wife’s chagrin, I’ve recently gotten back into video games. Luckily for her, it’s now on the hand-me-down Nintendo my son gave me. Now I’m not hogging the TV. She can watch what she wants and I can happily spend way too many hours exploring Hyrule. Since the original Joycons are

REVIEW – I hate cleaning out my car, mainly because I have to drag our upright home vacuum cleaner out to the garage and wrestle it around the car to vacuum out the inside. It’s a pain, and if you have ever done that yourself, you know what I am talking about. Now, we do

REVIEW – Mason was looking for a projector that he could easily bring to friends’ houses for movies and video games — without having to worry about speakers or video converters. The YABER K2s projector fit the bill; plus, the Dolby Audio and internal JBL speakers were a big selling point. What is it? The

REVIEW – I am well into the process of upgrading my home office/studio to better handle my Podcast recordings, my photography and videography post-production and my time spent writing reviews. I have been searching for a keyboard that just feels right for me. I know that I would prefer an ergonomic keyboard, and I want

REVIEW – I have been blessed with thin bony feet that get cold very easily in the wintertime. Keeping them warm even in shoes is tough, but while I’ve tried hand warmers, I’ve never tried heated socks to keep them toasty. As it’s winter time and my feet are once again icicles, the inliCare heated

REVIEW – When it comes to tablets, I have a long track record. I have a 7-inch Samsung Android tablet that I have used for many years at bedtime to browse the day’s news and maybe check some email before I fall asleep. I also have a Microsoft Surface Pro 13” tablet that I use

REVIEW – The last few headphones that I have tested have been sub $100 and they all surprised me and made me believe that I no longer have to spend a ton of money to get decent-sounding headphones. Since I am now very intrigued, I jumped at the opportunity to test these TOZO HT2 Hybrid

REVIEW – Cars today are rolling computers now so if you want to figure out what your check engine light means you need an OBDII port scanner device. XTOOL asked me to review their new InPlus IP819 Smart Diagnostics Tool, so I jumped at the chance to see how my 13-year-old car is holding up.
REVIEW – A car wash at my local place is now $25 for the basic inside and outside scrub down. They do a good job, but can I afford $25 a trip? Nope. That’s why I’ve gotten quite good at cleaning my own car. The outside always looks great, but getting the carpets clean has

REVIEW – If you’re looking for power stations in the 1000-2000 Wh range, there’s a huge range of options so you’ll probably be looking most closely at factors like longevity, port selection, and cost. One of the features I have rarely seen so far is the inclusion of a high-amperage RV style port, but today
REVIEW – If you raised an eyebrow at the title, don’t worry because I did too. When I got an email asking if I’d try out some worn socks, I had to ask if they were serious. Why would I try out used socks? Well, the brand name of the company is Worn, and they

REVIEW – I can be found walking outside in all kinds of weather, from the steamiest summer days to drizzly winter days. However, on the rainiest, coldest, darkest days, I like the idea of an indoor workout. I also have trouble sitting still after hours of working on my computer. The COZYINN walking pad compact

REVIEW – If you’re a sparkling water lover, then you know the first world problems I’m about to outline. Lugging bottles around the grocery, into the car and then inside your home is a pain. Storing the bottles can be difficult. Reaching the bottom third of your bottle to find that the carbonation is pretty

REVIEW – Power is paramount these days, but portability can be a problem. In the past several years, portable power solutions in various shapes, sizes, and capacities have exploded onto the market.

REVIEW – In 2021, FEMA reported 353,500 house fires, 2840 deaths, 11,400 injuries, and $8.8 billion in loss. In the same year, there were 1,067 carbon monoxide fatalities. All were tragic, and many were preventable. With sugar on top, please protect your property, yourself, and loved ones with detectors like the Wi-Fi Connected Smoke and
REVIEW – Have you ever tried a handheld portable air blower for tasks like cleaning your keyboards or maybe blowing away that dust that collects over time in the back of fans? I have and I have found most of them lacking in terms of build quality and the volume of air they produce. Most

REVIEW – The Oukitel BT20 Smartwatch carries the same brand name as large, portable power stations Gadgeteer reviewers have published here. It figures it has a large-ish battery, but at $60 how close to ‘smart’ is this watch? I’ve reviewed some doozies before and this price range usually marks where I approach with lower expectations.

REVIEW – I recently reviewed the ALLPOWERS S2000 Pro Portable Power Station, which is a good all-around power station without any glaring faults. ALLPOWERS also sent the S2000 non-Pro for review, so I also tested it out, and the big question is whether or not it’s worth saving $100 over the Pro version or not,

REVIEW – When I was a kid, we planned a ski trip to the mountains of West Virginia. The forecast was shaping up to be VERY cold, so my dad got me a pair of heated socks. They were wool socks with a bunch of D batteries in a holder that strapped to your
