REVIEW – I have never been a big fan of buying water bottles only to throw them away (worst case) or recycle them (best case). My husband has his own business, and he buys the big 5-gallon jugs and puts them in a dispenser once a week. So when the SimPure water filtration system came […]
NEWS – We Gadgeteers love our junk food. A new arrival is disrupting everything you think about what goes together. Coke Zero and Oreos? What?

REVIEW – We’ve dabbled a little in home brewing but our results were not consistent. And what’s worse than spending time and money and then waiting months for a beer that’s just meh? When we saw this, it seemed like an almost guaranteed way to get (fast!) results. Like a bread machine for beer! We

REVIEW – Did my secret stop on my commute home just get eliminated?! I understand that secrets are not the best policy in relationships, but if my partner was aware of how many times I’ve driven out of my way to get a Route 44-sized cherry limeade (IYKYK) after a really hard day in the

REVIEW – Most people I informally surveyed while reviewing the Joy Pebble countertop ice maker prefer nugget/pebble ice to other larger forms of ice.

REVIEW – I make a large mug of hot tea every single morning which I carry down to my basement office. I’m a sipper, not a chugger, so my large 22 oz mug of tea cools off quickly. That means I trudge up the stairs at least 2 times to rewarm the tea in the

REVIEW – Do you buy almond, soy, coconut, oat, and other plant-based milk from the grocery store? Ever taken a look a the list of ingredients on the package?

REVIEW – I was a frequent camper in my youth, but it sort of fizzled out with children and other responsibilities. My ex-wife and I would car-camp from time to time, but I’m hoping to get back into the swing of that, due to the enhanced experience modern camping has become. Case in point: these
