Reviews of all the latest gadgets and technology
I reviewed the Daan Tech Bob Mini Dishwasher back in November 2020 and was surprised by how much demand there was for countertop dishwashers. There are plenty of options on the market, but at the time, that was the smallest and also the most attractive of the alternatives. More recently, Loch Electronics sent me their…
Following my SwitchBot S20 review, I have also been looking at the new K11+ mini robot vacuum. This is the successor to the SwitchBot K10+, and I reviewed the K10+ Pro a year ago. The new SwitchBot K11+ is an incremental improvement from the previous models. The main change is the significantly smaller base station,…
I find the robot vacuum/mop industry quite interesting. It reminds me of the early days of mobile phones, when we saw significant improvements in the technology over a short period of time, which has made writing about them more interesting than other niches like phones with barely incremental improvements each generation. While iRobot Rooma launched…
Ugreen has just announced some new QI2 MagFlow products at IFA. There are three new devices, including the two I am reviewing today, and a 3-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Desktop Charger. Ugreen MagFlow 2-in-1 Magnetic Wireless Charger 25W The MagFlow 2-in-1 charger is designed as a compact and versatile option for users who want to charge…
I reviewed SurfShark back in 2018 when times seemed simpler and happier. Things have changed a lot since then. In particular, this year, the UK has implemented ID checks for any website content that is deemed adult material under the Online Safety Act. It is a ridiculous law that doesn’t just block porn but casts…
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…
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…
The Baseus S1 Outdoor Security Camera is a curious surveillance camera that features an integrated solar panel, a design element I have seen on the EufyCam S3 Pro and AOSU C9C-4H SolarCam before. What makes this model unique is that the solar panel can rotate and track the sun. Baseus claims that this allows the…
I am late to the game, investing in an Elgato Stream Deck. They have been popular with gamers and streamers for years, but I haven’t gamed much in years, and I have no intention of streaming. As they are relatively expensive, they never appealed to me. More recently, I started a job in IT support…
I first wrote about the FRITZ!Box 5690 Pro back at the start of 2023, but for various reasons, the launch was delayed. It has finally been launched, and I have been using it for the past few weeks. My testing has been somewhat limited as I am based in the UK and use Virgin Media…
