I have reviewed two of the amazing Jackery Solar Generators in the past couple of years. The demand for portable power stations and solar generators has increased exponentially recently, and with rising electricity prices, I can only imagine the growth with continue. Jackery is one of the pioneers of portable power stations and solar generators….
Following on from my comparison between Wiz, Tapo and Philips Hue. Wiz was recently kind enough to send me some samples to test out. This included: WiZ Luminaire Mobile Portable Light Wiz 18.5W LED (150W equivalent) E27 Wiz 8W B22 It would seem that I don’t have any lights with the bayonet-style fitting, so I…
I have reviewed quite a few Philips Hue products over the past few months. More recently, Wiz has sent me some samples to try out. WiZ is a relatively new smart lighting brand that was founded in 2017 and became part of Signify in 2019. This places them under the same company that manufactures Philips…
Gaming computers have been around for quite some time now. Take Alienware, for example, which began in the mid-nineties, the result of two friends and their mutual love of all things aliens and all things gaming. What started as ideas between the two became a range of products, including some that have stood the test…
Mio is best known for its range of dash cams and in-car navigation systems. However, they have also used their GPS and mapping technology to produce a range of bike computers. These computers are more focused on casual cyclists rather than the stats-obsessed fitness-focused cyclists that Garmin and Wahoo appeal to. The Cyclo Discover Pal…
During my review of the EcoFlow RIVER 2, I was also testing the 220W bifacial solar panel. This is a unique solar panel compared to most of the others on the market. As the name suggests, there are solar panels on both sides. The rear side allows the panel to capture additional ambient light. It…

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…
