I recently reviewed the EcoFlow Stream Microinverter, a device that lets you build a small solar array for a balcony, garden wall, shed, or garage without a full rooftop installation. During testing, a natural follow up question came up: can you wire extra panels together, in series or in parallel, to get more out of…
iGulu has been around for a surprisingly long time, with the original model being available back in 2016. From what I can gather, it launched in the UK with the F1 back in 2024. The F1 is an all-in-one machine that handles fermentation, temperature control, carbonation and dispensing in a single countertop unit. You add…
I recently reviewed the excellent Ugreen MagFlow Air 5K Power Bank, which is an incredibly thin 5,000mAh power bank that is compatible with Qi2 charging up to 15W. It is perfect for days out where you may not have a bag. You can easily charge your phone in your pocket with very little noticeable added…
I have reviewed many smart locks over the years, and I have been impressed by the recent models SwitchBot has launched. Today I have something a little different, because this lock is built for deadbolts, the style traditionally fitted in the US. In the UK, we typically use multi-point locks on our uPVC doors. Though…
I have worked with EcoFlow a lot in the past, reviewing many of their portable power stations, including the EcoFlow River 3, River 2 Max and the larger Delta 2. In addition, I have reviewed the foldable 400W Solar Panel, the 220W Bifacial Solar Panel, the Glacier portable fridge (which I still use for BBQs…
The 70mai Dash Cam 4K A810 Lite is a relatively affordable 4K dash cam with a 1080p rear camera and the option to add 4G connectivity with a hardwire kit for GPS tracking and remote alerts. With a discounted price of £100 for the base kit, I have been pleasantly surprised with the overall quality…
Back in May, Ugreen announced the new Nexode and MagFlow Air edition compact chargers and slim magnetic power banks. I have already reviewed the excellent Ugreen MagFlow Air 5K Qi2 Power Bank, and this review is of the tiny 65W charger. There is not much to write about for this review. It is a single-port…
Universal travel adaptors may seem like a dull piece of technology, but they are one of the more useful things to own if you travel abroad even semi-frequently. In the past, I have used cheap no-name brands off Amazon. I have a couple of low-powered options which are only good for slow charging devices, and…
Orico got in touch about reviewing their 97 series direct attached storage, and I picked the 5-bay 9758 on the basis that I could do something more interesting with it than simply bolt it onto a laptop. Direct attached storage, or DAS, is one of the less glamorous categories I cover. It is a box…
I don’t have a lot of experience reviewing drones, but last year I reviewed the impressive Ruko U11MINI 4K Drone and previously the flawed but good Powervision PowerEgg X. Today, I am reviewing the new Potensic Atom 3, which has only just launched and is not the same as the Potensic Atom 3 Axis. While…
