How to get your gadget reviewed by GadgetNutz
TL;DR
GadgetNutz is a small gadget news and review blog covering phones, wearables and smart devices. Review requests go through a free contact form, and the site refuses paid placement articles. It suits hardware startups with a finished consumer device they can ship to a reviewer.
What is GadgetNutz?
GadgetNutz.com publishes news and reviews about iOS and Android devices, wearables and mobile gadgets. Managing editor Kermit Woodall writes most posts and owns the trademark for its Two-Minute Reviews format. Dave Crawford is listed as founder and writer. The advertising page says the site has published tech news and reviews for over a decade and claims over 300,000 monthly readers, mostly aged 18 to 44, more than half male and over 60% college educated. That reader figure is the site's own claim, with no public analytics behind it.
The blog still publishes in 2026, at a slow pace of one to four posts a month. Recent posts include the Apple HomeView (13 October 2026), the Xiaomi Smart Band 11 (28 September 2026) and the Amazfit T-Rex Dual Solar smartwatch (23 September 2026). Big brands dominate the coverage, so a startup product stands out when it is genuinely new.
Who should contact GadgetNutz?
- Hardware startups with a shipping phone accessory, smartwatch, tracker, earbuds or smart home device.
- Crowdfunded gadget makers who have working units ready, past the prototype stage.
- App makers whose product pairs with a wearable or phone feature the site already covers.
- Skip it if you sell B2B software, a web app with no device angle, or a product that only exists as renders.
How much does GadgetNutz cost?
A review request is free. The contact page says no paid placement articles please, so you cannot buy a review. Advertising is a separate, paid option: the advertising page offers display ads, sponsored content and event sponsorship, but publishes no prices and asks you to request a quote. Budget for the review unit itself: the editorial policy says items sent for review are not returned unless you arrange it beforehand.
How do you share your startup on GadgetNutz?
- Read the GadgetNutz editorial policy. The team reviews only items it thinks are worth telling readers about, and reviews reflect the writer's own opinion.
- Open the GadgetNutz contact page. The form has three fields: name, email and message.
- In the message, name the product, the price, the ship date, what it does better than the market leader, and a link to a press kit with photos.
- Offer a review unit and state whether you need it back. Agree on returns before you ship.
- For ads or sponsorship, use the same form and ask for a quote, as the advertising page instructs.
Tips to get more out of GadgetNutz
- Pitch a device that fits the existing beats: phones, smartwatches, fitness bands and accessories for them.
- Time your request around big launch windows. GadgetNutz covers Apple, Google and Samsung events, so a compatible accessory pitched the same week has a clear news hook.
- Send a short spec sheet in the message body. A two-minute review format needs the facts in one place.
- Ship a retail-ready unit with packaging. Reviewers photograph what arrives.
- Follow up once after two weeks, then move on.
Our verdict
GadgetNutz is a small, long-running gadget blog with honest rules: free review requests, no paid reviews, and no guarantee of coverage. It is worth one email for a consumer hardware startup with a real device in hand, and it is the wrong place for software.
