The 2020 TRAVELON SHOW – How to Travel Light, Safe, Stylish and Practical (Part One)
The 2020 TRAVELON SHOW – How to Travel Light, Safe, Stylish and Practical (Part One)
This is our third Show of Travelon products that have a well-earned reputation of bringing out travel gear that is not only stylish and what you want to carry on you but practical in the extreme. That means lightweight, heavy-duty and, in the last few years with a focus on safety and security (anti-theft).
In previous years we reviewed about half a dozen products at the time. This year, thanks to the generosity of the Travelon Team, we’ll have to split it in 2 sections as we have about a dozen products from their humongous range of travel bags and accessories.
Today we bring you the AT Active Day Backpack, a Slim Bag from the Boho Collection and the AT 4-wheel Carry-On.
With these items, knowing that your gear is secure, you can now fasten your seatbelts so that you too are secure!
EGO POWER+ 52cm Self-Propelled 56V Cordless Mower – Not Just for Professionals...
You might have noticed a trend here at DigitalReviews.net: This time of year we focus a lot on cordless outdoor power equipment. Anything that will keep your garden trimmed and neat. So we reviewed trimmers, blowers, chainsaws and mowers.
From 18V lightweight stuff to 82V big boys gear.
Some of the tools were very impressive but none as awesome as the EGO POWER+ 52cm Self-Propelled Mower.
And here’s why.
Shakti Mat - Does home accupressure work?
With all the gear we review here at DigitalReviews, it is easy to forget that it is an unnatural lifestyle that us mere humans are not evolved for. Yours truly has had to come to terms with the aches and pains of aging, and bad posture just makes everything that much worse.
We are happy to try out our "personal masseuse" with compliments from Shakti Mat, let's see what this can do for my less than robust body.
Philips Hue PLAY Light Bar – Just a Backlight for Your TV or More?
Disclaimer: Yes, we bought into the Hue ecosystem, meaning that just like Lego we want to have all the bits and pieces that Philips/Signify/Hue bring to the market.
In every colour. In every shape.
Today we look at the PLAY component. 16 million colours in a svelte, black unit that can sit unobtrusively behind your television or game monitor, casting a soothing backlight or vivid auroras of light that match what’s on your screen or sync with your music.

Calming Blanket - The Grasshopper Lies Heavy
About a month ago I wrote a review on Glow Dreaming, a device that is designed to be sleeping aid for children.
My oldest boy Master L has always taken a while to fall asleep for one reason or another, and I have really been wanting to try a weighted blanket to see if it will help.
The folks over at Calming Blankets kindly tossed a discount code my way.
How did it work for my son?
Victa 18V Cordless Garden Tools: Mower, Line Trimmer and Blower
Last year we reviewed a trio of Victa gardening tools as well: the 82V range. Serious power, tested on our rural block.
This time we’ll go a bit more suburban and test the 18V Mower, Line Trimmer and Blower.
We have a somewhat surprising result.

Voltaire Smart Grinder - Quest to waking up to freshly ground coffee
The Voltaire Smart Grinder was a Kickstarter project by Get It Right with a lofty project statement. "Making fresh coffee is as much an art as it is a science. And truly awesome coffee starts with two things: fresh beans and a great grinder. We've taken these two critical elements - fresh beans and consistent grind - and combined them into one amazing machine: Voltaire."
The Voltaire Grinder can be paired with an airtight container (for storage of grounded coffee). Both the grinder and container can become "smart" with the addition of a sensing platform that is design to keep track of how fresh the coffee beans are, and how much there is left in the hopper or past their prime and re-order on your behalf.
So, how did we go?
Glow Dreaming - Sleep tight little ones
We have all heard horror stories about babies and children that won't fall asleep, or waking every hour, needed to be held, hugged, breastfed, walked around, rocked in order to etch out a little more zzz. I certainly know how it feels night after night after night, resettling my boys every hour or two, trying to get them to stay asleep and allow me to put them down so I can snatch a few precious minutes myself before my day starts.
Glow Dreaming claims to help children struggling with separation anxiety, self-settling, night terrors, teething, transitioning, delayed sleep, dream feeding, multiple wakes, days sleeps and co sleeping.
Well, I have children at different stages of life, so I took the plunge and bought one.
And of course I just had to share my experience with our DigitalReview readers.
