The Wuben E2 Pulse flashlight is one of those little gadgets that makes you smile when you first pick it up because it’s so tiny. But this is not merely a cute keychain accessory. It is a rechargeable everyday-carry flashlight with a front beam, side lighting, red-and-blue emergency-style flashing, a magnetic tail, and a quick-release chain attachment.
The K-Swiss Women’s Wild Run Trail Running Shoes are designed for people who want a comfortable, capable shoe for getting outside without necessarily needing something built for technical mountain trails. Whether you are walking through a park, taking a dirt path, walking on a gravel driveway, or navigating uneven grass, roots, mud, and rocks, these shoes offer the traction and cushioning needed for everyday outdoor adventures. I tested the women’s size 10, which is my usual size, and found them comfortable right from the start. They are lightweight, stable, and nicely suited for casual trail walking and light trail running.
My office is my happy place, but even a happy place can get a little too cluttered. Between a widescreen monitor, MacBook, iPad, Stream Deck, phone charger, pens, journals, cables, and assorted little trinkets and gadgets, my desk was functional but definitely not tidy. The BALOLO Setup Cockpit was designed to fix exactly that problem. Let’s see if this luxury upgrade has made my desk setup more functional and fun.
I live on 12 wooded acres in southern Indiana and enjoy spotting wildlife such as deer, turkeys, possums, raccoons, coyotes, and even a bobcat, which my American bobtail cat, Ozzy, once chased away. I use several trail cameras, but my property is too spread out for every camera to reach home WiFi. The GardePro X66 Pro cellular trail camera solves that problem: it doesn’t need WiFi, only access to a supported cellular network.
I’ve reviewed dozens of keyboards over the years, and I continue to look for unique features in new keyboards that make me want to accept offers to review them. Today we’re going to take a look at the EPOMAKER Glyph keyboard. I accepted the offer to review this one mainly because of its looks. The Glyph gives a modern twist to a keyboard that has a retro style. Does this one just have a pretty face, or does it offer a true benefit over all the other mechanical keyboards on the market? Let’s answer those questions and more.
I enjoy testing small cameras to see whether they can replace or augment my iPhone for capturing video content. Most of the time, I rely solely on my iPhone, but other times I want a dedicated camera. I’ve reviewed many SJCAM cameras over the years, and while they are well-made and easy to use, they haven’t been quite good enough to earn a permanent spot in my camera toolbox. When the offer to review the new SJCAM SJ30 8K Dual-Lens Action Camera came in, I was curious enough to accept. Will this one be the best SJCAM yet? Let’s find…
Keeping an eye on wildlife, livestock, gardens, or the far corners of a large property usually means choosing between a standard WiFi trail camera with limited range or a cellular camera with an ongoing data plan. The GardePro Link 1.0 system offers a third option. It uses a dedicated Link hub connected to a home router, then creates a long-range wireless connection to compatible GardePro R3 Pro trail cameras. Let’s install it and see how it performs.
Satechi is back with a bigger, more capable version of one of its more interesting charging ideas. The new Satechi ChargeView 240W Desktop Charger builds on the company’s earlier 140W model, but this time the focus is squarely on users who have gone well beyond charging a single laptop and phone at the same time. For anyone running a desk full of gear, the extra headroom should make this new model a much more compelling option.
Small EDC flashlights are one of those gadgets that are easy to overlook until the power goes out, a noise wakes you in the middle of the night, or you need to find something at the bottom of a bag. These two ACEBEAM EDC flashlights are made for those everyday moments, but they take very different approaches. The tiny, colorful ACEBEAM Keylite 500 is a simple USB-C rechargeable keychain light with a maximum 500-lumen output. The ACEBEAM UC3A is a larger 900-lumen pocket light with a removable battery, pocket clip, and an RGB sidelight that doubles as a mini lantern….
The Brinyte WT01 Flashlight is a hefty, rechargeable flashlight with a removable battery, multiple brightness levels, and a charging dock that does much more than keep the light topped off. It is easy to operate, bright enough to light up a dark stairway, and it has one especially useful feature that makes it an excellent choice for a nightstand or emergency spot.
The Quntis 3-Stage Foldable Desk Lamp is an interesting option for anyone who needs more than a small pool of light on their desk. Its long, three-section light bar can be folded into a compact shape, spread wide across a work surface, or arranged in several other configurations. Add a sturdy metal clamp, adjustable brightness and color temperature, a remote control, and a rear backlight, and this lamp has a lot going for it. Let’s take a closer look.
If you need an inexpensive table beside a couch or chair, the Yuede Side Table offers a practical combination of a compact footprint, three usable tiers, and a warm wood-look finish. It arrives flat-packed, so some assembly is required, but the finished table looks nice and provides convenient spots for a drink, a coaster, books, and other living-room essentials.
Keeping an eye on my property while I’m away from home is always a concern because my house is pretty secluded. For that reason, I have many security cameras installed both inside and outside my home. I enjoy testing a variety of cameras because I’m always looking for the next best one that I can add to my array. Today we’re taking a look at the TP-Link Tapo C675D Security Camera. It’s two cameras in one! Let’s see if it’s a keeper.
I may have an unhealthy fascination with security cameras. I currently have 5 PoE cameras and 4 cellular trail cams on my property. Even though I work from home these days, I still like receiving notifications when the UPS or FedEx driver pulls up with my latest review sample or when a 5-point buck walks into our meadow. When offers for new security cameras come up for review, I’m always interested, so the latest cameras that I’ve set up and tested are the Wyze Duo Cam Pan and Wyze Cam Pan v4 indoor/outdoor cameras. Let’s take a closer look at…
I like recording the notable and not-so-notable moments of my life. I’ve done this in handwritten journals since I was a kid. In the past few years, I’ve realized that I would rather save daily memories digitally because I can include lots of photos, and I can type so much faster than I can write on pen and paper. I’ve used digital journaling apps and cool trip recording apps like Time Atlas, and now I am excited to tell you all about the Looki L1 Wearable Lifelogging camera. Yes, it uses AI, but what it can do with AI is…
If you want a blood pressure monitor without apps, Bluetooth pairing, accounts, or phone notifications, the CAVN Blood Pressure Monitor takes a refreshingly straightforward approach to health tech. This is a large, desktop-style upper-arm monitor that lets you place your arm inside the built-in cuff, press a button, and read the result on its oversized display.
You know the saying, “the third time’s the charm”? That may finally be true for me and robot lawn mowers. My first review unit couldn’t handle the weak GPS signal caused by the many trees in my yard. A year or two later, I tried another brand, hoping the technology had improved, but it failed for the same reason. Fast-forward another year, and I’ve been testing the Navimow i2 LiDAR mower, which doesn’t rely on GPS. Will this be the robot mower that finally works in my yard? Read on to find out.
If you’ve been shopping for wireless power banks, two things probably matter most: how easy they are to carry and how well they actually charge your phone. Baseus has two new slim options that aim at slightly different needs. The Baseus PicoGo Air is the ultra-thin 5,000 mAh model, while the PicoGo AM52 steps up to 10,000 mAh capacity and adds a permanently attached USB-C cable.
I’ve looked at more than a few wallet designs over the years, and most of them force you to pick a side. You either get a super-slim card carrier with almost no personality, or you get something bulkier that handles cash better but takes up too much pocket space. The Flipside 5 aims for a nicer middle ground. This EDC wallet keeps the footprint compact, adds a more premium anodized aluminum shell, and still gives you quick access to both cards and bills.
When it comes to high-protein meat sticks, I usually expect something practical more than exciting. They are the kind of snack you toss in a bag for later, not the kind of food you get genuinely curious about. That was my mindset going into the Mighty Spark Chicken Snack Sticks. These high-protein meat sticks promise low calories, decent protein, and a healthier-sounding ingredient list, but the real question is simple: do they actually taste good?
The Aranet Radon Plus Digital Radon Detector is one of those gadgets you hope you never “need,” but once you have it, you won’t want to be without it. Radon is invisible, odorless, and potentially dangerous, so having a simple way to monitor it in real time brings real peace of mind. After dealing with elevated radon levels in my own home a few years ago, I’ve become a big believer in keeping tabs on it, and this little sensor makes that easier than ever.
