Robot vacuums are proliferating, and it’s wonderful. It’s a perfect match, a mindless machine for a mindless task. I hate vacuuming, but living in dusty farming country and having a big hairy dog, it is a necessity. We’ve had another vacuum robot doing the job for the last 2 years and I’ve been satisfied with […]

Last Sunday I posted a review of the Smoovie Pocket Video Stablizer and wasn’t very impressed with it. Now I see that Olloclip is offering a video grip that looks interesting.

When I reviewed the Focal Spirit Classic, Professional and One S headphones, I marveled how a French maker of insanely expensive speakers could manage to produce affordable headphones. Yes, they’re expensive, but not when compared to their heritage. Well, that’s all changed. Focal has released three new headphones and while the Elear (review coming) headphone

The Logi Circle is a home security camera that I reviewed late last year. I liked how easy it was to use, the time lapse view of detected events that make up a day and the fact that you weren’t required to pay a monthly or yearly subscription fee to use it. Although you still

Video cameras sure have evolved since the first VHS camcorder that I bought 16 years ago. That thing was HUGE and crazy expensive. If I remember correctly, we bought it on payments and it took about a year to pay it off. Today I have a video camera that captures much better video than the

We’ve had a busy week here at the Gadgeteer. With the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 recall, lots of reviews, an opinion piece about phone upgrades from Smythe and other news, it would have been easy to miss something if you didn’t visit the site several times a day. No worries though because I have you
If you have a smartphone, then you also have a smartphone that has fingerprints and smudges on the screen. It’s unavoidable when the screen is made of glass and are fingers are dirty and greasy from all manner of reasons. Yuck. If you’re like me, you probably turn the phone over and rub the screen

Bluetooth headsets and USB car chargers are a dime a dozen. You can find them everywhere. But what you can’t find everywhere is a device that combines both of these together. The Evoplus Q9 car charger combines two separate USB ports with a built-in Bluetooth headset. One of the things I liked most about this

Last year, Bowers & Wilkins stepped into the future with their on ear P5 Wireless headphone. In my review, I said … “the fact that Bowers & Wilkins makes the P5 sound as good as it does when wireless is a wonderful bonus.” That bonus has been expanded to include the over ear B&W P7 Wireless.
