ecovacs deebott8aivi 35

REVIEW – If you’re a regular reader of The Gadgeteer, you know that we are regularly offered robotic vacuums to review.  Everyone and their cousin seem to be making robotic vacuums.  Many seem to suck, and not in a good way.  We have carpet in our bedrooms and hard flooring in the rest of the

Aukey CB-C70 4-in-1 Wireless Charging USB-C Hub review

AC70 01

REVIEW – I really like connecting to external monitors when jumping into a project or researching anything that requires multiple windows being open. I don’t like connecting multiple cables to make that happen, so a good hub, dock or adapter is required for USB-C laptops. Aukey has a newer hub aimed at that exact problem

Levoit classic 200 ultrasonic cool mist humidifier review

Levoit Humidifier 1

REVIEW – Wisconsin winters are notoriously cold with wind chills below zero and enough snow to bury a polar bear. With the lack of moisture in the air, your skin becomes dry and chapped.

B2973492 C08D 48D2 A101 AE2B00A59ED7

REVIEW – The Zendure X5 is not just another portable battery pack. There are hundreds of external battery charger options available so finding one that’s worth your money can be a challenge.

Lander Kiva USB rechargable headlamp review

LanderKiva 7

REVIEW – We have been homeowners for long enough to have paid off two different houses. This means we have spent way too much time under the house doing some type of home-ownerly task that usually involves wearing knee pads and headlamps. Whether it’s checking out what the plumber said they did, re-routing the dryer

REVIEW – Over the past couple of years, I have been able to test and review a few types of devices that claim to enhance sleep quality, relaxation quality, etc, With the exception of one sleep device that I use, the rest, in my opinion, have been complete and utter failures and yet carry pretty

NEWS – I wear glasses and if you also wear them, you know how easily they can get smudged. If you don’t wear glasses, then I’m sure that your phone screen gets smudged multiple times per day. Do you use your shirt to polish off the grime? It might work but that material is abrasive

Go Hang It all-in-one picture hanging & leveling tool review – Hang pictures with fewer cuss words and tears

gohangit 5

REVIEW – We recently did a complete remodel of the upper level of our house, but even though it’s been done for several months, we have yet to hang any artwork back on the walls. Why? We’re mainly afraid that we’ll make a mistake getting multiple framed art pieces to line up. That’s where a
