Those too lazy to take their clothes to the dry cleaner will love Panasonic’s new clothes hanger, the Nanoe X. It deodorizes your clothes for you. The deodorizing hanger works by using negatively charged particles, or “nanoe,” to clean your clothes.

When I’m in the home office, I get the benefit of a huge 27″ 5K display on my iMac, but whenever I’m on the road, I just get the 15″ screen that’s built into my laptop.

A few years back, a company called ROLI introduced the Seaboard, an amazing keyboard which allows musicians to add new forms of expression to their playing by introducing pressure sensitivity along the length and ends of its keys.

Apple today took wraps off of a neat new piece of home audio gear – a compact speaker which takes aim at both personal assistant devices like Amazon Echo and Google Home, and also the premium wireless speaker market.

If you find that your keys are constantly jingling around your pocket and poking you, then you should definitely consider one of Keyport’s products. The company makes a series of modular pocket tools which not only organize keys, but offer additional functionality.

Every cat owner knows that cats love to get up on your countertops. Some are downright hard to train. My cats keep doing it and we have tried everything. CatNani may be able to help. It is a little robot that patrols your countertops, and scoots your cat off onto the floor.

We’ve all been there at some point. You need to measure something and you stand there counting the little marks on your tape measure trying to figure out if its millimeters or centimeters or inches that you need.

I love to be in the great outdoors, hiking around Colorado. If you are ever backpacking or trying to hike with as little weight as possible, you have to watch everything you put in your pack.

There was a time when a mousepad was just a basic thing, designed to keep your mouse gliding smoothly across your desktop. But the SteelSeries QcK Prism goes far beyond this utility, functioning not only as an excellent surface for precision mousing, but as a cool decorative accessory for your gaming surface.

I love my dear wife, but she can be a real asshole sometimes. If I get out of bed in the dark to go to the bathroom, I stumble through the pitch black room, navigate the gaping maw of the pile of 57 shoes she never puts away that reside on my side of the bed, silently lift the lid, and then pee on the sides of the bowl so the splash doesn’t wake her.

Are you worried that a thief will steal your handbag and run off with it? Well stop your worrying. Malaysian sportswear company Ash Be Nimble has a new solution. It is called the Handbag Dyetonator. It is a small accessory that blows smoke and covers the bad guy in ink, marking them for the police to collect later. Think of it as one of those bank dye packs, but for civilian use.

Today we have all kind of gadgets that pull double duty, but a salt shaker that is also a bluetooth speaker? Yeah, that exists. Obviously playing Salt and Pepa is mandatory. This product is pushing it.

I love to cook on the grill. Steaks and burgers cooked inside on the stove just don’t taste the same. The problem is that I hate to clean the grill. All that baked-on goo hardly ever comes off without spending 20 minutes scraping.

A bag of Doritos and some good tunes. That’s all you need really. That’s a good night in my book. Doritos has combined both in the Guardians of the Galaxy Awesome Mix Vol. 2 promotional MP3 bag.

Hanging pictures is a huge pain in the rear. I never seem to get them level or centered in the spot where I want them. This results in lots of holes in my walls. The Absolut Hangsmart is a new picture hanger that aims to make it easy to mount your pictures and art on the wall and get it perfectly level every time. Not only does it get them level, the gadget allows you to adjust art up, down, left, right all without taking it the wall, so you can adjust spacing and centering without having to make extra holes in the wall for each move. The Hangsmart device can be mounted to your wall with adhesives or screws that are included.

Sometimes, I feel a little weird reviewing crowdfunded items that have yet to go into production. On one hand, it’s good exposure for the projects, but on the other, the products are usually prototypes and not ready for prime time.
