Ecovacs DEEBOT X9 PRO OMNI robot mop/vac review - The Best gets incrementally better!

2 days ago | the-gadgeteer.com | Garry Kolb

REVIEW – A few weeks ago, on March 29, 2025, we published my review of the best robot vac/mop I ever tested – the DEEBOT X8 PRO OMNI robot vacuum and mop from Ecovacs. You can imagine my surprise when I got an offer to review the brand-spanking new DEEBOT X9 PRO OMNI a few weeks later. The X8 was so good, what could possibly be better? It turns out that the wizards at Ecovacs were already at the drawing board, tweaking navigation, improving suction, and making other incremental improvements.
Mophie Powerstation 10K Power Bank (Gen3) review - A portable, quick fix when your phone is dangerously low on juice.

3 days ago | the-gadgeteer.com | Ryan Chapman

REVIEW – When it comes to portable chargers, you have two main options; wired or wireless. Wired has been my go-to for portable charging as I can charge multiple items on one battery pack. The Mophie Powerstation 10k Power Bank intrigued me quite a bit, as it had the versatility I enjoy, coupled with fast charging, something I had yet to pick up, for a quick power up. ⬇︎ Jump to summary (pros/cons)Price: $39.95Where to buy: Mophie and AmazonWhat is it?
Withings ScanWatch Nova Brilliant Edition smartwatch review - yes, it IS brilliant

4 days ago | the-gadgeteer.com | Bill Henderson

REVIEW – Let me begin this review by stating how much I loved my Apple Watch. It fairly covered most of what I could ever want in a smart watch—and more. However, one of the things I did not like about it was having to charge it every day. That’s no surprise, because the Apple Watch is a computer on the wrist that pretends to be a watch. However, last year, the health care company Withings released its smart watch, the ScanWatch Nova.
The OG of minimalist wallets has gone from metal to leather

5 days ago | the-gadgeteer.com | Julie Strietelmeier

NEWS – The Ridge Biflex wallet is a big shift from Ridge’s classic all-metal wallets, bringing a softer, more flexible feel to your EDC. Instead of aluminum or titanium, the Biflex uses premium full-grain, oil-waxed leather sourced from a Gold-certified tannery. This gives the wallet a traditional look that gets better with age, developing a unique patina the more you use it.

Underdog Glasses are the flip-up solution to sunglasses hassles

6 days ago | the-gadgeteer.com | Julie Strietelmeier

NEWS – Underdog Glasses are a clever alternative to traditional sunglasses that ditch the discomfort for a design that is way more comfortable and convenient. Instead of resting on your nose and ears, Underdog Glasses clip right onto the brim of your hat. That means no more sore ears and no sunglasses slipping down your nose while you’re on the move. What sets these sunglasses apart is their easy flip-up, flip-down design. Need shade? Flip them down. Want a clear view? Flip them up.
SteelSeries Apex Pro TKL Gen 3 Keyboard review

6 days ago | the-gadgeteer.com | James J. Garriss

REVIEW – Though I dabble in mobile gaming on my iPad Pro, my favorite gaming platform is still my Windows 10 gaming computer with games that I purchase from Steam. There are so many choices, Steam has great sales, and many indie games these days are surprisingly good. I’ve had my current gaming keyboard for a long time, so I’ve been looking to upgrade to something newer. In this review, I’m testing a new gaming keyboard in the SteelSeries Apex line, the Pro TKL Gen 3.
FNRSI Soldering Iron Kit review

1 week ago | the-gadgeteer.com | Julian Perry

REVIEW – For the past 2 years, I have been performing more mods on e-bikes and motorcycles, and as I continue to accessorize, my wild imagination makes me push the boundaries of what I want to accomplish. While I was never big on soldering, I have found it to be a necessary skill to make sure that wire connections don’t come loose if they are in places where wire connectors are not an option. I need to add a good soldering kit to my shop tools. Let’s give this FNRSI Soldering Iron Kit a try.
