REVIEW – I have a relatively small yard so I was looking at retiring my old gas mower and getting a battery powered one when Toro asked me to review their new 60V Toro 30” eTimeMaster mower. Their 60V battery line has over 75 compatible tools so I was eager to try it out and […]
REVIEW – I reviewed the BLUETTI Swapsolar Multicooler last year, but when we took it on a weekend trip, we realized it was much larger than we needed for a short trip. I’ve been on the hunt for a good smaller cooler ever since, and the offer to review the BODEGACOOLER 12 volt Car Refrigerator

REVIEW – Planning a trip to Southeast Asia later this year, one of my main means of transport will be the ubiquitous scooter. Now when I lived there for a couple of years, I regularly transported 2 x 20 litre water bottles or even once a four shelf bookcase, but I really don’t want to

REVIEW – It seems like two or three times a year we lose power. Thunderstorms, hurricanes, or high winds knock down trees and power lines, and suddenly everything in the house is off.

REVIEW – Hurricane Helene left us without power for a couple of days. When we lose power, there are two primary things that we want: to recharge our cell phones and keep the refrigerator running. Any size power station can do the former, but it takes a larger one to do the later. Of course,

REVIEW – Hurricane Helene passed through town last fall and left us without any power. At times like this, it’s important to have a backup source of power for things like running a fan, turning on the TV to get local news, or recharging anything with a battery. I’m testing out a medium-sized power station,

REVIEW – Here I go again. Everyone already knows that I am an Ecoholic, so expressing my joy and anticipation as I get to review another EcoFlow power station would be repetitive. Ecoflow power stations are simply what I believe to be the industry standard for these types of devices. So, without further delay, let’s

REVIEW – Power stations are convenient gadgets for providing extra power any time I’m off the grid for a while, whether camping, picnicking, or whatever.
