Blaster Spray White Lithium Grease Lube Review

Blaster   lubes have sat on our workshop shelves for years, including this Blaster spray white lithium grease.

APC SurgeArrest Surge Protector P11VNT3 Review

We have owned the APC P11VNT3 SurgeArrest surge protector, and have seen them “tripping out” during lightning storms. But we have yet to lose any device plugged into them. In this piece, we review our time with this suppressor, and detail our experiences with it. Mostly good. APC P11VNT3 SurgeArrest Surge Protector Intro Types of … Continue reading APC SurgeArrest Surge Protector P11VNT3 Review



iWorld iPhone iPod Wall Charger Review

We bought several of the   iWorld iPhone iPod Wall Charger   units a couple years back because we do a lot of iPod listening, on several iPod Nanos and iPod Touches. So we always have at least one (and sometimes, two) iPods charging.  Back when we had just a single iPod wall charger, being stuck … Continue reading iWorld iPhone iPod Wall Charger Review



iXCC iPhone Charger Station 30w Review

The iXCC iPhone charger station features high current (2.1 amp) charging from two of its four ports at the same time for a total of 30 watts power output.

The other two ports can deliver medium USB charging current (1.0 … Continue reading iXCC iPhone Charger Station 30w Review



iEdge Lightning USB Cable Glitter Series E-380 Review

The iEdge Glitter Series 6 Ft. lightning USB cable costs less than Apple-made lightning cords.  There’s no MFi (Made for iPhone/iPad/iPod) certified label on the package. But our tests found it still highly reliable. This cord gives reasonably fast charge and high current handling. We paid $3.99 for ours at Gabriel Brothers. Indeed this is … Continue reading iEdge Lightning USB Cable Glitter Series E-380 Review



Maytag Bravos Washer MVWB750WQ Review

We’ve laundered hundreds of loads in our Maytag Bravos MVWB750WQ washer since we bought one at the end of 2010, and are loving it. I’m ripping curtains off the windows and doilies from tables, just to get some items to wash in the MVWB750WQ. This high efficiency (HE) style  washer differs vastly from older ones … Continue reading Maytag Bravos Washer MVWB750WQ Review



iWorld Sonic Earbuds Review

We examine the iWorld Sonic Earbuds with Microphone in this iWorld earbuds review.  Once again, an offering like this has dubbed iWorld as a provider of highly affordable, decent over all quality accessory products for the iPhone/iPad and MP3 player markets. Many consider iWorld buds and earphones an acceptable alternative to the much more pricey, yet generally better performing offerings … Continue reading iWorld Sonic Earbuds Review



Samsung 27 Inch Curved Monitor Review

The Samsung 27 inch curved monitor, model S27D590CS provides a noticeably more “immersive experience” due to the slight curvature of its screen. It’s not flat.  So for viewers right in front of it at two feet away, this curve gives a highly uniform image.  It’s plenty bright, even with the brightness setting at a mere … Continue reading Samsung 27 Inch Curved Monitor Review



Cisco Linksys WES610N Bridge Review

Think of the Cisco Linksys WES610N as a 4-port Ethernet switch.  But this switch also has a fifth port, a WiFi port. This port connects to a WiFi network.  It  connects Ethernet-bound PCs, internet radios, smart TVs, et al, to a distant internet gateway via WiFi. Cisco Linksys WES610N Wireless Network Bridge Intro The Cisco … Continue reading Cisco Linksys WES610N Bridge Review
