Anker has been on a roll with new portable power station launches recently. Last month the Anker 555 PowerHouse launched in the UK, and as part of the launch event, you could get £240 off. With this discount, the Anker 555 easily undercut the excellent EcoFlow DELTA 2 and Jackery Explorer 1000. The Anker 767…
Wahoo is being quite proactive about developing the Wahoo X platform (more so than Zwift). They still have a long way to go, I think they really need to fold RGT and SYSTM into one platform, but I imagine this will take quite a bit of time. The latest announcement is for both SYSTM and…
Following on from my review of the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max, let’s look at how two of the EcoFlow RIVER 2 models compare with the Anker PowerHouse counterparts. Anker has had an early advantage over EcoFlow with the launch of their LiFePO4-equipped PowerHouse portable power stations. This superior battery chemistry allows portable power stations to…
EcoFlow has been refreshing its product line-up. Last month they launched the new DELTA 2, and this month, it is the RIVER 2. This is another portable power station that has been upgraded to use the LiFePO4 battery chemistry, which significantly improves the lifespan of the battery by about sixfold. I have been using both…
Edifier has launched its new wireless bookshelf speaker -the S1000W. Looking at the specification, this takes the excellent S1000MKII and adds in WiFi and all the services you associate with a WiFi speaker, including AirPlay 2, Alexa, Spotify and Tidal Connect. The WiFi connectivity also allows this speaker to be grouped with other speakers in…
I have reviewed a few Annke outdoor cameras in the past, and they are normally a reliable, affordable option. The Annke NC400 was particularly good, providing the full-colour night vision that is typically found on much more expensive Hikvision cameras. The Annke Crater is on the budget end of the spectrum. It is an indoor…

Early in October, Wahoo announced a refresh to the ELEMNT ROAM. This is an incremental upgrade with the product retaining its name, but to avoid confusion, I will refer to it as the ELEMNT ROAM V2. While I have reviewed quite a lot of smartwatches and multi-sport watches, I have not reviewed many bike computers,…
Switchbot is branching out from their smart home curtain robot to include a new smart blinds controller. Unlike the Aqara Roller Shade Driver E1, the new SwitchBot Blind Tilt is designed for horizontal blinds. There are not many competing options on the market. SOMA has been a popular option for both roller blinds and horizontal…

I didn’t think the Pixel 7 series was enough of an upgrade for me to justify switching from my Pixel 6, so I have not been able to review any Pixel 7 cases. However, Spigen has kindly sent me some samples of the Pixel 6 cases, all of which are also available for both the…
It’s no surprise that smart TVs are ruling the tech markets these days. Every other person is switching to smart TVs as they provide an all-in-one solution for entertainment. However, it leaves one wondering about cable TV. What are they for? Are they worth using or is the trend almost gone? A lot of such…
