REVIEW – I have been on a power station review kick these past few months. I have been looking for the perfect portable power station to take with me during all-day action photo shooting events at high school marching band competitions. I get a small table on the track up against the stands. On that …
REVIEW – When our house was built a little over two years ago, we thought we had all the light fixtures exactly as we wanted. We paid extra to the builder to ensure we had recessed lighting instead of the basic ceiling-mounted fixtures they offered. It turns out we missed a total of four lights. …

REVIEW – I have been on a portable backup battery kick for the past six months or so. I started off by reviewing the Vanpowers Super Power Pro 2000. It is a great power station but not easily carried around. Next, I reviewed the Mokin Energy Smart PD Pioneer 300W unit. That power station was …

REVIEW – I had a ton of fun reviewing the Yadea ElitePrime electric scooter. Since then, I have been looking for a scooter to let me go faster than 19mph. I know there are some scooters out there that can easily hit 40-plus miles an hour. I also know that I would be stupid enough …

REVIEW – Ever since our energy grid failed us back in 2021 during that big snow event, I have been paranoid about having some backup power available. We have been getting notifications and warnings this summer to conserve energy and protect our electric grid. We have had over 32 days of 100 degrees or higher. …

REVIEW – When we moved into a new house two years ago, we had a long wish list of things we wanted to do to enhance it. One of those things was to add some lighting into the backyard so that we could enjoy our pool better after dark. We have a back porch area …

REVIEW – I finally got the pool I have always wanted two years ago. I knew a pool would require maintenance, and I am determined to maintain the pool myself. If you keep your water balanced and clean, I really don’t spend more than an hour a week maintaining it. I was smart and ensured …
REVIEW – Growing up, I remember my Dad earning extra money by repairing TVs, stereos, and other electronic devices for extra money. I loved to watch him solder to repair the circuit boards. It never occurred to me back then that I could solder myself. It was just something Dad did. As an adult, I …
REVIEW – Ever since I got to rent one of the electric two-wheeled scooters in downtown San Antonio, I have always wanted to have a scooter. It is so much fun to zip around on those things. In the past year or so, the amount of electric scooters that have shown up on the market …

REVIEW – I think every review I have done lately has me mentioning how fricken fracking hot it has been in Texas lately. Heat is something you learn to live with, and personally, I prefer the heat over cold any day. You learn how to be smart in the heat and protect yourself from overheating. …

REVIEW – Summer is officially here in South Texas, and for me and my family, that means BBQ! I am not talking about tossing some hamburgers on the grill or loading up your kettle grill with charcoal and grilling up a steak. I am talking about hours of slow-cooking a big chunk of meat into …
REVIEW – I have had a robot vacuum in my house since 2018, when I reviewed the Deenkee I7 Robotic Vacuum Cleaner. Since then, robot vacuum cleaners have come a long way in being more efficient and offering other functions like mopping and vacuuming. In my ongoing effort to keep my house clean with as …

REVIEW – I entered the world of electric cars last year in July when I purchased a Chevrolet Bolt. I went for the Bolt over a Tesla, mainly because of the significant price difference. I love the car; it has been a very enjoyable experience. 99.9% of my charging is done at home on a …

REVIEW – My husband has accumulated many things he needs to bring in his everyday travels. Shorts or pants pockets can no longer hold what he needs on a daily basis. He has been looking for a good lightweight, small bag to carry his two wallets (yea, don’t get me started!), reading glasses, a large …
REVIEW – I have mentioned before that one thing I enjoy doing is detailing my cars. You can be much more efficient and use less water when washing your car using a pressure washer. A gas-powered pressure washer can do the trick, but then you have to worry about engine maintenance, making sure you do …
