Audio
We love to listen to music, and we guess (almost) everyone does! And whether you are a die-hard audio addict or not, you want good equipment to enjoy your favorite songs. So in this section we take a look at audio-related gadgets and share our experience with you. So whether it is a Bluetooth speaker, a pair of headphones, a FM transmitter or a microphone: when we get our hands on it we put it to the test and tell you what we think. Don’t expect to finds things like diagrams with output frequencies. We know that good audio has a large subjective aspect. That is why we trust on our ears and the overall user experience. Lets put our ears to the test! If you have any ideas, comments on the review or have a product for us to review, please let us know. But remember: we will be strict but fair.
Gear
There is one thing in life you cannot have enough of*, and that is gadgets! In this section we review the gear you can use and preferably can take with you around the house and while travelling. A gadget should make your life at least a little better, so we test whether it does. Gadgets typically have one or more applications and are often smart. This means they can be connected to your phone or tablet. However, some of the gear can also be a backpack or an electric shaver. Some of the gadgets even have a fixed place in your home. Examples are a smart socket that connects to your phone or a state of the art robot vacuum cleaner. If you have any ideas, comments on the review or have a product for us to review, please let us know. But remember: we will be strict but fair. *Nutella not included.
Home appliances
Everyone has home appliances, but we are only looking for the smartest ones for you smart home. Whether it is a robot vacuum or an electronic fly trap. We review them to show you how they function and what their ups and downs are. After that we determine if and how they enhance your life. We have a weakness for everything that saves us time doing household chores. And if it is smart and integrates into our smart home it is even better. So check out our smart home appliance reviews. If you have any ideas, comments on the review or have a product for us to review, please let us know. But remember: we will be strict but fair.
Tools
In this section we review tools to maintain and repair our gadgets and do general DIY repairs. This can be things like phone repairs or replacing a battery. We focus on repair sets that you can store within hand-reach. So you don’t have to get your entire toolbox to replace a single battery. They are also easier to take with you on the road. The tool sets we review are actually used for a longer period. We put the tool sets to the test, try to break them and present our findings to you in a review. We are searching for the ultimate tool set, and we will not stop until we have found it. Because at the end, there can be only one ultimate tool set! If you have any ideas, comments on the review or have a product for us to review, please let us know. But remember: we will be strict but fair.
Lightning
We are all searching for the light. Some of us are searching for the ideal smart light bulb. Next to that, most of us are looking for a design lightning element that does not break the bank. We all have our own lightning challenges. In this section we review the lights that come on our path. Whether they are smart or not, or just a bulb or LED strip or even a complete lamp. If you have any ideas, comments on the review or have a product for us to review, please let us know. But remember: we will be strict but fair.
Life

We review the products we ordered because we want (or need) to use them. They are actual part of our life. The views and opinions expressed in these articles are those of the authors. These do not necessarily reflect the views and opinions from all contributors to the site.
