REVIEW – In a perfect world, all of the powered gadgets that I own (fans, humidifiers, heaters, etc.) would be smart gadgets, capable of being controlled with nothing more than a voice command to Siri or a preset automation via the Home app. I don’t live in that world just yet, so one way to […]

REVIEW – Gaming chairs are their own class of gadget, but in these post-COVID days many people work from home and use the same chair for gaming as they do for work. I am one of these, and so I need a chair that is comfortable, encourages an ergonomic posture, and provides a full-suite of

REVIEW – Ultenic is a relatively new company, launching its first cordless (Models U10 and U11) and robotic vacuums (Model D5 and T10) in 2021. Their new flagship, MC1, has earned a place in my “orderly enthusiast” home, especially for mopping hardwood floors. Please join me for a closer look. What is it? The Ultenic

REVIEW – There are many oversized bean bags available in the market that promise a unique comfort experience. I had my fair share of bean bags growing up in the ’70s and ’80s. So, I was intrigued to try out the new breed. Recently, I got my hands on the Moon Pod Antigravity Bean Bag

REVIEW – Recently, Goal Zero released three new portable power stations: the Yeti 300, 500, and 700. Each provides—you guessed it—appx. 300, 500, and 700-watt hours of power using the newer LiFePO4 battery technology—more on that later in the review. A few years ago, this announcement would have been big news. Today—not so much because

REVIEW – So many little bits and bobs are involved with being a True Gadgeteer. Dongles for your laptops and displays. Chargers. (So. Many. Chargers!) Data cards for drones, cameras, phones, tablets and your great-aunt Sophie’s digital picture frame. A tech pouch to gather similar-but-separate bits and pieces for your devices is a good thing.

REVIEW – A couple of years ago, I purchased a small Hydroponic system for my wife to support her passion for gardening and growing food. Little did I know that her passion was so driven that she would end up creating a garden that has supplied all of the greens used in our household for

REVIEW – OnePlus has been putting out some really great devices lately. Their OnePlus Open is my favorite folding phone so far, and more recently, the OnePlus 12 has me on hiatus from my iPhone 15 Pro Max. But without an iPhone, my Apple Watch hasn’t been all that useful, so it was great timing
REVIEW – I love coffee so much that I drink it pretty much all day. I’ve had many coffee machines in the past, and a couple of espresso machines. However, my espresso machine experience was many years ago. When the ILAVIE 20 Bar espresso machine review offer came along, I decided I would try one

REVIEW – Printing on small stuff can be challenging and aggravating, if not impossible. I’ve misloaded envelopes countless times (add growling and snarling sounds here), and printing even smaller labels was out of the question. Now, it’s easy with Bentsai’s BT-HH6105B2 handheld printer. What is it? The Bentsai model BT-HH6105B2 is a rechargeable, pistol-grip, hand-operated
