I have been a fan of EnGenius over the years and used their products for most of my networking needs at home before switching to Unifi, which I only did because that’s what the MSP I work for uses. My one criticism of their products was that the pricing was not very accessible for home…
I previously reviewed the Honor Magic V3 a year ago and the Magic V2 in January of 2024, and was incredibly impressed; they were far better than the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 5 I reviewed back in 2023 due to the display design and overall phone dimensions, plus many other things, including battery life. Honor…

Aqara are slightly odd compared to other smart home brands because they have very few cameras available. I have previously reviewed the Aqara G2h Pro, Camera Hub G2H, Camera E1 PT and the superb Camera Hub G5 Pro PoE. Three of those are Zigbee hubs as well as cameras. I have then reviewed the Aqara…
With the rollout of the Online Safety Act in the UK, it is now necessary to provide identification to websites when viewing certain types of material. The intention is to prevent children from accessing harmful material, but the system is so poorly thought-out that it is easy to bypass with a VPN, and its broad…
You’d think with Google at our fingertips, we’d stop believing nonsense – yet here we are in 2025, and millions still think we only use 10% of our brains. But such myths aren’t harmless fun facts – they can really affect how we make decisions every day. A recent survey of 2,000 adults found something…
I reviewed the Aosu C9C-4H SolarCam D1 Classic Kit Review a little over a year ago and was impressed with the kit, with the standout features being the built-in solar panel for improved battery life, auto tracking, pan/tilt, and motion detection. Aosu has now upgraded this system, which now includes support for six cameras. So, are…

I have previously reviewed several 5G and 4G routers, including the Zyxel Nebula FWA510 5G, and I have then experimented with external antennas to try and improve performance, but mostly had either disappointing results or inconsistent results. More recently, I have had a nightmare with Virgin Media and their appalling customer service. There was a…

![How much does it cost to run a portable air conditioner, and how quickly does it cool a room? [Updated with August 2025 price cap]](https://mightygadget.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Portable-Air-Con-Running-Costs-768x461.jpg "Portable Air Con Running Costs")
2025 UPDATE: With us having a particularly warm heat wave in the past week, I thought it would be a good time to refresh my post on the running cost of portable air con units. This was originally written in 2021, when electricity was still relatively cheap (I was paying less than 14p/kWh). Times have…
