REVIEW – I’ve reviewed a couple of robot vacuums in the past that include a wet/mop function, but neither of them did much in terms of mopping. As a result, my back still hurts after every manual mopping session. I was excited to review the Dreame H11 Max Wet and Dry vacuum and hoped that

REVIEW – These days I often create a short video to add to my reviews here at The Gadgeteer. A couple of recent examples include the setup of UREVO’s treadmill and Flexispot’s standing desk. As we’ve said many times on this blog, lighting is key to good photography, and that’s also true for good videography.

REVIEW – My son and I discovered Keychron about a year ago. We’re both Mac users and were looking to see what all the fuss was about with mechanical keyboards. We bought him the K1 model (104 key with brown Gateron switches) and were almost immediately obsessed. I picked up a K1 and then a

REVIEW – Confession time. I generally like stock speakers. I know, I know. The treble usually sounds like a tinfoil thunderstorm and the bass doesn’t go low enough, or the crackle when one side of whatever speaker-equipped entertainment device you’re working with inevitably dies. (RIP driver-side rear speaker in my ’93 Thunderbird.) But I never thought

REVIEW – Have I been called a prepper? Guilty. I try to be super prepped for an earthquake, which is far and away the most likely natural disaster to hit Southern California. When the Oupes power station came up for review, it was one piece of equipment that was missing from my kit, and I

NEWS – Way back in May of 2012, I reviewed the Wedgestand eReader stand. Over the near-decade since, I’ve mentioned it as a favorite device accessory at least twice, and it is out on my dining room table as I type this. It’s a great, simple design, and I thought it could not be improved

REVIEW – This past June we moved into a new house with a little over 1800 square feet of tile. I hate housework. I would rather be outside working in the yard any day before dusting or cleaning the inside of the house. With that much tile, vacuuming and mopping is a real chore. I

REVIEW – I typically don’t need to charge my phone while I’m at my desk. However, occasionally I have found the need/desire to top off my phone battery, but I wouldn’t say I like using a cable. When the Nomad Base Station Mini review offer came along, I thought it would be a great time

REVIEW – My wife purchased a Series 6 Apple Watch earlier this year and had to settle for buying Apple’s unattractive sports band to go with it. I recently reviewed Bellroy’s watch strap, which is a nice upgrade for when she wants to look a bit classier. She really likes the strap, but she also

REVIEW – Creating steady video and moving around from various angles used to be difficult and physically intensive. I was recently sent the Hohem iSteady X2, a gimbal designed for smartphones, and it’s a huge creative boost. I’ve tested it in several use cases, and am ready to report. What is it?

REVIEW – We all have a lot of devices to charge – phones, watches, tablets, laptops, Bluetooth headphones, flashlight batteries, and the list goes on and on.
