Gear4 has grown massively over the past few years; both in stature and the variety of products they offer. They’ve sent their latest StreetParty 5 speaker dock for the iPhone 5 for us to review, but will it live up to the already established HouseParty and StreetParty 4 docks? What you get – 1 x StreetParty Dock – 1 X power adapter –...

Seasonal Affective Disorder, AKA SAD, is a medical condition suffered during times of shortened daylight hours. As the UK has a long, dreary winter it affects a higher percentage of the population than other countries. The NHS Choices website pins this number at roughly 2 million people, or 3.5% of the country. So how can it be treated? There’s no conclusive line of...
Over the past ten years or so digital cameras have come a long way and for a time tripods languished behind. There wasn’t a good range for mainstream users and this meant shakey shots and one armed portrait photos of you and a loved one were the only way to snap. Nowadays this has changed thanks to the likes of Joby and their epic Gorillapod and offerings such as...
We first saw Lego’s new Lord of the Rings set back in January at the Toy Fair. It’s safe to say that I was very excited at the time; so you can imagine the excitement when we were sent a set based on Shelob, Sam, Frodo and Gollum in the post. I immediately called dibs and set about building the set and after a short while this is the result. You have to admit...
We test gadgets that can do almost anything; sometimes we review ones which are out of the ordinary and sometimes we get sent functional items.

Neil Wilson, product manager, Epson UK, certainly seems to think...

What you get: Box Contents – Cruzer 6 shaver unit – 3-Day...

That day has come and we are ready to field test the SpiderPodium tablet with the new iPad. Read our review below, we promise the spidery nature of the legs isn’t creepy in the slightest! Appearance Like a spider it comes with...
I’ve had five or six shredders in the past and each and every one has let me down in some way shape or form. The main thing that usually goes wrong is it would jam up, sometimes to the point where the shredder was useless. Therefore I was pretty excited to receive Fellowes most recent business shredder, the Powershred (PS) -79Ci because it claimed to be completely...
Over the past few months we’ve received several requests to review the Bibo water heater/cooler/filter/dispenser. They call it a multi-stage water filtration system which boils and chills water, which is much more descriptive ;-). We’ve now got a Bibo water appliance of our very own and after several weeks have prepared the below review. The review includes installation,...
