I reviewed the superb Ugreen NASync DXP4800 Plus back in November. I was already using the Ugreen NASync DH4300 Plus with the stock UGOS software, so I wanted to migrate my old TerraMaster F4-421 running Unraid to the Ugreen. The Ugreen has a substantially more powerful CPU with Intel QuickSync support. It also has dual…
I have been impressed with Tozo in the past; they have consistently launched earbuds and headphones that perform far better than their prices suggest, albeit with a relatively cheap build quality, which is justifiable considering the price. Tozo recently launched the HT3 noise-cancelling headphones, the successor to the Tozo HT2 headphones I have previously reviewed….
A few days ago, I reviewed the superb Sonoff PoE Dongle Max, which I was very impressed with. The more I use it, the more I love it. In the past, I used the Nabu Case / Home Assistant SkyConnect / ZBT-1, which I used with multi-protocol and was temperamental at best. But, a few…
OnePlus has announced three new products for the UK market: the OnePlus 15R smartphone, OnePlus Pad Go 2 tablet, and OnePlus Watch Lite smartwatch. The launches were confirmed today, with pre-orders opening on 17th December 2025 for all three devices. The OnePlus 15R represents the company’s value flagship offering, whilst the Pad Go 2 targets…
I have reviewed a lot of docking stations over the past few years, and I have always been a big fan of them, but late last year, I started working in IT support, and most clients use laptops combined with multi-monitor setups. This, therefore, makes a dock essential. We tend to match docks for the…
I have previously received the SIVGA Phoenix Headphones and Robin (SVO21) Headphones and was impressed with the overall performance. One of the main characteristics of SIVGA earphones is the use of wood in their products, and the same is true for their latest launch, the SIVGA Nightingale PRO. Unlike my previous reviews, the Nightingale PRO are…
I have an increasing number of smart home devices, and like many enthusiasts, I run Home Assistant, allowing me to integrate different smart home ecosystems into a cohesive system. However, because I am constantly reviewing things, I have never really set up Home Assistant properly. I have often relied on proprietary systems and only use…
A little over a year ago, I reviewed the excellent Xiaomi Robot Vacuum X20 Max. Xiaomi have now launched the Robot Vacuum 5 and the Robot Vacuum 5 Pro. The Robot Vacuum X20 Max was impressive, but the new Robot Vacuum 5 ups the spec with a new retractable dToF radar and a massively increased…
Honor has announced the launch of its Magic8 Lite smartphone in the United Kingdom, bringing a device focused on battery longevity and physical durability to the mid-range market. The handset features a 7500mAh silicon-carbon battery that the company claims can deliver up to three days of use between charges, alongside certifications for drop resistance and…
I have previously reviewed the Aqara Hub M3 and also had the M2 prior to that, which I turned into a secondary hub when I moved to the M3. Aqara has now released the Smart Hub M200, presumably the successor to the M2. With an RRP of £60, it provides a more affordable alternative to…
My only experience of GL.iNet in the past has been via the ExpressVPN rebranded Aircove routers, which use their own custom firmware, such as the Aircove Go travel router and the Aircove Wi-Fi 6 router. I recently moved to Aquiss on City Fibre with a 2500Mbps line and experienced issues with upload speeds on my…
Back in October, SwitchBot announced a range of new lighting products, including the SwitchBot Candle Warmer Lamp, which was a bit of an unusual smart lighting product, but I love it. The RGBICWW Floor Lamp is a bit more mainstream for smart lighting. This is a floor lamp designed for ambient lighting where the light…
