RoboReel Retractable Cord Reel
This is the first retractable extension cord reel I have gotten excited about. This retractable cord reel (and the hose reel which I really want) are both made by Great Stuff and are truly well thought out gadgets. I would almost call them over engineered, but I personally think that is what makes great products. […]
Bacon Scented Candle
One of the few non-gadget items we frequently allow on the site is anything related to bacon. In this case it is a bacon scented candle by Meat Maniac. This 16-oz jar candle has a 75-85 hour burn time and smells dead on like bacon. Perfect for the bacon lover or the prankster who wants […]
Amazing Underground Garage
This house, Sierra Star, in Lake Tahoe has one of the most amazing garages I have seen. Right now Batman is busy reengineering his Bat Cave to compete. This house, and garage, is owned by Tom Gonzales the founder of Commerce One. Better to watch than have me describe it in detail, video of the […]
Hybrid Solar Tubes Heat Water And Create Electricity
This is the first time I have seen a thermal solar hot water heater that also creates electricity. It tends to be one, or the other. This hybrid solar tube technology is called the Virtu Tube and is made by Britain's Naked Energy. The Virtu Tube's have a photovoltaic panel enclosed in a vacuum […]
Amazing Extending Glass Table
Regardless of what incredible meal you serve on this over engineered extending glass table, the table will outshine the food. Sad but true. The Astrolab dining table (by Roche Bobois) starts off with crystal clear glass so you can watch the polished gears which are used to extend and retract the pair of extensions. I […]
Order Pizza With One-Touch Refrigerator Magnet
When I saw this one-touch pizza ordering refrigerator magnet, I cried some small tears of joy. Ok, I was on the ground crying like a newborn,for 12 16 minutes. Where was this when I was in school? The good news - you create a pizza profile, then whenever you are hungry you push the button, […]
Samsung’s Transparent LCD
The transparent LCD screen has been portrayed in futuristic type movies. The idea is clever and can have some neat uses but hasn't been a reality, until now. Samsung has come out with a transparent LCD screen that will allow you to see what is on the other side of the screen. The uses […]
Yonanas Deluxe
At first glance I thought this was just a gimmick. Why not use your blender? But there are too many good reviews of this thing to be wrong. The Yonana machine turns frozen fruit into a healthy soft-serve treat. You put the ingredients in and get what comes out in a similar consistency of frozen […]
Open Your Garage Or Gate With Your Smartphone
Last September we wrote about the Craftsman AssureLink Garage Door Opener that was smartphone enabled., While we love the product… we understand people not wanting to upgrade their entire garage door opener to make it smartphone ready. This product, the SecuRemote was engineered to allow people to operate all their home entry doors, garage doors […]
Kebo Bottle Opener
We have seen some cool gadgets with integrated bottle openers over the years, but none that specifically claim to be a one handed bottle opener like the Kebo. The Kebo was inspired by the Theodore Low bottle opener from the 1930s and is certainly cool. I am just not sure it is $25 cool.
