ELEHEAR Alpha Pro hearing aids review – Is this OTC solution for you?

EAHA 07

REVIEW – Late last year (2022) the FDA issued a final rule that improves access to hearing aids with the creation of a new category OTC or Over-The-Counter where devices can be purchased without medical approval. The Alpha Pros from ELEHEAR fall into that category and at $999 they seem like a bargain compared to

Luxear Cooling Pillowcases review – Cooling technology for a better night’s sleep

Luxear Pillowcases 5

REVIEW – A while back, I reviewed the Luxear Arc-Chill Cooling Comforter. I found that it was a very well made and comfortable summer comforter with some neat technology that could actually keep you cool on steamy nights. Luxear also has cooling pillowcases with the same technology built in. But does it work the same

Cooghi V4 Pro scooter 01

REVIEW – Sometimes a review offer will come in for us Gadgeteers that couldn’t have been timed better. In this case, our 14 month old toddler is starting to walk/run everywhere, and he got a balance bike for his first birthday but hasn’t been able to get the hang of that model yet. The Cooghi

LetPot LPH-SE Hydroponics Growing System review – Grow food without a green thumb!

LetPot Hydroponics 44

REVIEW – This year my wife has experienced an amazing summer gardening season with crops that have produced bountifully each day. I can’t remember the last time we went to the market to buy greens. Despite overwhelming evidence of her green thumb, she vehemently denies having that skill. Nevertheless, she has been so successful, that

XBA 10ft cordreel 12

REVIEW – I bring my laptop to Scout meetings, but sometimes power outlets are hard to find in some older buildings. Enter the XBA 10ft retractable cord reel. Now I’ve got an extension cord that tucks away neatly in my bag with plenty of outlets to spare. What is it? The XBA 10ft cord reel

ankermake m5c 31

REVIEW – We have reviewed dozens of 3D printers here on The Gadgeteer, but so far, I’ve personally only reviewed 3 and the first 2 didn’t even count because they were more like toys than real 3D printers. But today, I want to show you my current favorite and best one that I’ve reviewed so

Aer Travel Weekender review – Have duffle, will travel

AWTD 01

REVIEW – Aer got their start by crowdfunding a combination gym/office bag and as they approach a 10 year anniversary next year, they now have quite an exhaustive collection of bags and travel essentials. I still have their first generation Travel Pack and after all this time it’s barely showing any wear. So a chance

Hohem iSteady MT2 Gimbal

REVIEW – In what seems like a lifetime ago, I intended to make photography/videography my business and not just a hobby.  Real life kicked in, though, and I had to get a job that made more than $100 every few weeks taking the odd wedding pictures.  My plans were lost to time until a few

REVIEW – Did my secret stop on my commute home just get eliminated?! I understand that secrets are not the best policy in relationships, but if my partner was aware of how many times I’ve driven out of my way to get a Route 44-sized cherry limeade (IYKYK) after a really hard day in the
