Reviews of all the latest gadgets and technology
The Soundpeats H1 Premium are a new pair of earbuds that are a minor update to the existing Soundpeats H1, which have been on Amazon for around 6 months. The only difference between these two earbuds seems to be the inclusion of an AI Voice Assistant. This is a relatively short review as I had…
I don’t really follow the tech trends for Christmas lighting, but it turns out Twinkly the Philips Hue of Christmas tree lights. The Twinkly range of lighting provides full smart control of your lighting and unlimited design options mapped to how you have placed your own lights. Twinkly has been expanding into more mainstream smart…
This week, Aqara announced their latest Hub E1 and is the most affordable hub they have launched on Amazon to date. Currently, this would make it the firth hub they have on Amazon but they have around eight different hubs in total, which seems a little excessive. The new Smart Hub E1 is priced at…
Launched earlier this month, the Xiaomi 11T series is positioned as an affordable refresh of their flagship Xiaomi MI 11 series. The new Pro model features the flagship SD888 and is the first phone to launch in the UK with an incredible 120W fast charge. The Xiaomi 11T I have reviewed today is the second…
Today, the Honor 50 finally sees its official UK/EU launch. It is quite an important phone, being the first product launch by Honor now that they are fully separate from Huawei. This now means that Honor can include Google Mobile Services on their phones with the extensive range of apps available on the Google Play…
I reviewed the original Helium Hotspot approximately a year ago, and it has then taken me over 6 months to get both the Nebra and Rak hotspot. Nebra has been awful to deal with, constant shipping and manufacturing delays with orders going out months after the initial forecast. However, it seems like these are finally…
The official Apple MagSafe Battery Pack launched with mixed reviews. The first problem was that it costs £99. Then MagSafe Battery Pack charges an iPhone 12 model at 5W when out and about. Finally, the MagSafe Battery Pack has a 7.62V, 11.13Wh battery inside with 1360mAh worth of juice. Inevitably, other brands that have been…
Lumen claims to be the world’s first hand-held, portable device to measure metabolism accurately. The homepage even states that you can “hack your metabolism” and then “enhance fat burn, lose weight & boost energy naturally.” With such grand claims, you may be wondering why Lumen is not a household name. Surely everyone that has the…
My Eufy RoboVac 30C was only ever used to clean the kitchen, using boundary strips, we never had to worry about it wandering off and getting lost. It has worked well and consistently keeps my kitchen free from all the mess I create when cooking. However, after my limited amount of time with the Yeedi…
I have previously reviewed the Twelve South StayGo USB-C Hub and found it to be excellent. While it wasn’t cheap, it has all the ports I could need and has been 100% reliable since I initially reviewed it. This is being marketed for the iPad or MacBook. However, there is no reason why this won’t…
I am not much of a camper, instead preferring city breaks in hotels and Airbnb, and my days of festivals were over about 20 years ago. I knew you could get power banks with 3-pin UK plug sockets, but the world of portable power stations has eluded me. When Jackery asked if I would like…
For whatever reason, it didn’t occur to me to review the Mcgill Microwave Systems Full Helium Installation Kit when I first bought it. So, I didn’t document or take many photos, so it is a bit of a limited review, but I think it is worth writing about regardless. My Helium hotspot has done OK…
