REVIEW – I have something of an almost diagnosable mania for luggage and backpacks. I guess it’s because I feel like the right travelling gear can really make or break your travel days.

REVIEW – I recently reviewed an air purifier from Proscenic, one designed to handle up to 1,000 square feet of space. It’s a good purifier and the right size for our house, but I’d like to find one that’s smaller, one that would work well in an apartment. I had previously tested a pair of

REVIEW – When the Britisher Lord Acton famously said in the 1800s, “Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely,” he obviously wasn’t referring to portable power stations—electricity wasn’t even in homes yet. However, today the opposite is true. Getting absolute power from portable power sources like the Jackery Explorer 1500 Portable Power Station corrupts nothing.
