  Review: CTEK MXS 5.0 12v battery charger (productReview)
  Unassumingly packaged, in the box, we get the charger (which is sturdy and hard-wearing) and two different kinds of clamps — traditional crocodile clips that you attach to the battery and 'eyelets' that can be left in situ for regular use. There’s a bag to keep everything together. Oh, and a five-year warranty. If you have never used a battery charger before and you’re worried about safety, don’t be — unlike many other battery chargers, this won’t spark when you put the clamps on.

  Review: Pod Point Solo 3S EV Charger (productReview)
  We've been using it now for three months or so and it's proved to be extremely reliable. We've used it with a variety of cars as well, from plug-in hybrids like the Skoda Superb Estate, to EVs like the Audi Q6 e-tron and Ford Explorer.

  Review: Nextbase 622GW dash cam (productReview)
  Intelligent Parking Mode will automatically record footage if the G Sensor is activated, which is very useful if you're concerned that your car is going to be bumped by your neighbours. The 622GW can use its internal battery to detect any knock to your car for more than a week, according to Nextbase, so you don’t need to drain the car's battery or hardwire the dash camera to use this function.

  Review: EGO HPE2000E pressure washer (productReview)
  We happily cleaned a family-sized car using the foam cannon, 40 degree and 25 degree nozzles and had ample battery life left, while a double driveway at high power required us to take a break for a battery charge. And what about the 135 bar pressure?

  Review: Dyson V6 cordless vacuum (productReview)
  It’s powered by Dyson's V6 motor and supplied with click on and off attachments that make it suitable for cleaning everything from your living room carpet to the door bins and seat upholstery of your car. Prices start at £220 and a two year warranty is supplied as standard, along with a wall-mounted charging dock that doubles up as a holder to store the vacuum when it's not in use.   What's it like?

  Review: Airlabs Airbubbl (productReview)
  Airlabs says the Airbubbl works best when the  car’s fan is on the lowest setting, with air directed into the footwell.  It can also be used indoors though, like at work or in a kid's bedroom. It's hard to quantify how well the device works, we're not scientists after all.

  Review: Guardsman dog guard (productReview)
  The Guardsman dog guard is a vehicle-specific barrier that separates the cabin of the car from the boot, which protects you and your pet while in the car. Guardsman has been running since 1964 and is also a long-term supplier of dog guards and cages to  both Guide Dogs and The Dogs Trust.

  Review: Honda Versatool (productReview)
  The Versatool also has a six-splined transmission shaft, which maximises torque and drives lots of power to each tool you use. Essentially, that means the Versatool should last a very long time. If you run into any trouble, there's a five-year warranty for domestic use too. That warranty is reduced to one year for professional use.

  Review: Ohme Home Pro EV Charger (productReview)
  And this is the clever bit. Ohme uses d ynamic charging technology, so will charge when prices are cheapest. It does this by using live data from the power network to determine when energy usage is low. That's when it will charge your car.

  Review: Carmat Garage Prestige Mats (productReview)
  Maybe we were unlucky and just ended up with a bad set, but we'd suggest you can get better finished mats for less money. However, we were impressed by the OEM fit and the quality of the material used. They're thick and durable, which we've been able to thoroughly test in our car over the last few months. With three children, lots of mucky trainers and more than the occasionally ice lolly spill, they've had a lot to cope with.

  Review: Thule Motion 3 roofbox (productReview)
  It feels robust and built to last, so should see you through plenty of years travel. It also comes with a lifetime warranty. Ours has already been repeatedly put to use this year and with family trips to Holland and Devon planned for next year, it won't be long before it's pressed into service again. Thule has managed to improve what was already an excellent roofbox - and our best buy choice.
• Review: Nextbase 322GW dash cam (productReview)
  width=500&height=333.27943078913324" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/311296d4afdc4f04ae694741211cced3" /> As well as the mount you get a 12V power cable. One thing to note is that if you have a car that doesn't have a 12V socket (they are being replaced by USB ports in many modern cars), you will have to get the camera hardwired. This isn't much of an issue as we recommend hardwiring dash cams, but it's something to bear in mind if you're buying a dash cam to use on a company or hire car for instance.

  Review: Thule Motion XT Sport roof box (productReview)
  But you needn't have to settle for an ugly square box on top of your car. As the Thule Motion XT proves. It suits the shape of our Tiguan well but crucially for us, it doesn't create too much wind sound. True, it's not silent - there will always be some noise - but on long motorway journeys we found it far quieter than roof boxes we've used in the past.

  Review: Aftershokz Aeropex (productReview)
  That's right, you get foam earplugs to block out external noise. This arguably defeats the point of not using headphones that block out external surroundings, so we opted not to use them much - but they are easier to put in and take out than in-ear headphones when we're crossing the road and want to listen for cars.

  Review: Honda Izy HRG 416 SK (productReview)
  It’s pricey for a small mower, but there again it’s a high quality product backed by a three-year warranty. Well looked after and regularly serviced, it’s not inconceivable that an Izy will last in excess of 15 years - at which point it starts to look like a wise investment, rather than an expensive outlay for a mower.

  Review: Suzuki Address 110 2016 (productReview)
  It’s easier to ride than a bicycle, is officially capable of almost 150mpg and practical enough to be used for a shopping trip. It’s affordable too, at just £1899. If you want to hang up your car keys and save some money, it’s hard to think of a more painless way to go about it. It’s not exactly scintillating or on trend – and it’s down 15cc on most learner-legal bikes – but it’s fuss-free and that’s part of its charm.

  Review: Kymco X-Town (productReview)
  Composure like that is what gives you the confidence to string together winding roads and it also means riding in town is reassuringly simple. Our only slight criticism is when using the 260mm twin front floating disc brakes in isolation it could feel a little overwhelmed when pulling up sharply, such as when a car pulls out without indicating. Feed in a little of the single 240mm disc rear stopper and you can come to a controlled halt every time.
