BLUETTI PV200 200-watt solar panel review – put a little sun in your power station

bluetti pv200 3

REVIEW – Portable power is a great thing.  You can use these portable power stations to keep your portable electronics running at the beach, at a party, well, you get the idea.  But…what powers the power station?  What happens when that runs out of electrons?  If you’re out camping and burn through your electronics battery […]

HaloDashcam Rev 022710465

REVIEW – Having just invested way too much money in a new vehicle, I am a bit anxious about any harm coming to it. To help alleviate my anxiety, I started looking for a dashcam that could record what happens while I am on the road but also remain unobtrusive and protect my precious gas

JMBricklayer Mechanical Spaceman brick model review – I come in pieces!

jmbricklayer mechanical spaceman 1

REVIEW – Growing up, I had a few different construction toy sets. My favorite was, of course, my Legos.  I always enjoyed them but over the years, my interests changed and I moved away from building things.  Then along came my triplets and their younger brother.  Over several birthdays, they acquired a few smaller Lego

Mythinglogic GardenToolOrganizer 18

REVIEW – A well-organized garage (or shed) is a beautiful thing. This year’s spring cleaning included a new addition: the Garden Tool Organizer from My Thing Logic. This rack is designed to onboard all of your outdoor tools and gadgets, and it’s got wheels to zip around the yard! Does it fulfill my journey to

Vosteed Grind Folding Knife review – a pocket knife for bushcraft

vosteed grind knife 1

REVIEW – Aren’t all pocket knives the same?  If the only reason you need a knife is to open that never-ending stream of boxes from Amazon, then sure, any everyday carry (EDC) pocket knife will do the trick.  It may, however, surprise you to know that pocket knives come in a wide variety of styles

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

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
