  Review: Husqvarna Automower 450X (productReview)
  It’s also fitted with bump and lift sensors. That means that when it’s running it will stop and turn around if it bumps into an obstacle and if lifted it shuts down immediately (and entirely) and needs a PIN to re-start. It will sound an alarm, too, and let you know via the app that it has been tampered with.

  Used Van Buying Guide: Dispatch 2007-2016 (Article)
  Realistically, at that price, you’ll be looking at vans that have galactic mileages, or require a bit of work to get running properly. Around the £2000 mark is a more sensible starting point, with plenty available. Most will have mileages approaching, or passed, the 200,000 mile mark, but if it’s been correctly maintained then don’t rule these out as useful, inexpensive workhorses.

So, it's no real surprise that our Product of the Year is also our dash cam of the Year, the Nextbase 612GW. The high-quality, 4K video footage is what will be the top of many buyers’ list of reasons for picking the 612GW, despite its many other tricks and gadgets.

  Review: Eufy RoboVac 30C (productReview)
  A full charge takes roughly six hours, but the battery will not hold a charge. This means, if you unplug the charging station, RoboVac will run flat within a day.

  Review: Farecla G3 Professional Scratch Remover Liquid (productReview)
  Farecla says the product, which sits in their 'Professional' range, "permanently removes minor scratch marks that do not stop your fingernail when run over the surface" and "diminishes the look of deeper defects". Brief instructions on the 500ml bottle advise stopping using the liquid when the scratch is removed or the paintwork begins to fade (which is most likely on darker paintwork).

  Robotic Lawnmower of the Year shortlist (Article)
  The robotic lawnmower is supplied with a charging station which automatically goes back to when it's running low on power, boundary wires, connectors and security features such as an alarm, lift sensor and PIN code. It's ideal for those that don't want the hassle of mowing the lawn and for older relatives who may no longer be able to mow the grass themselves.

  Car Security product of the year shortlist (Article)
  Or for a fiver less you could buy an official car hardwire kit. That’ll also prevent the battery from running out. On that basis, it’s very cost effective. >> Read our full review Disklok Disklok is essentially a large reinforced steel disc that you lock around your steering wheel.

  Group 0+/1 Child Car Seat of the Year shortlist (Article)
  >> Read our full review Nuna REBL Plus The Nuna REBL Plus is one of the best 360 swivelling seats out there, with a premium feel running throughout, from the recline handle to the belt buckles and the seat material itself. It's also durable and feels as though it will easily last the use of several children. The good news is that at £350, the REBL Plus represents a significant saving over the latest swivelling seats from Britax and Maxi-Cosi.

  Review: Melitta CI Touch coffee machine (productReview)
  width=500&height=333.33333333333337" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/5e4462fcf72b434d8463ea49d1390f54" /> The unit has a range of built-in sensors that automatically stop the machine if it runs out of water or if one of the bean containers becomes empty or jammed. The small drip tray also fills up with annoying regularity and this (again) brings the CI Touch to a standstill.  The pull-out water container is easy to fill and the self-cleaning aspect of the CI Touch will be welcomed by those who do not want to spend their mornings cleaning their coffee machine before leaving for work.

  Review: Mio Cyclo 210 bike computer (productReview)
  In terms of routing, we can tell the Cyclo 210 what we're using it for and it’ll adjust the routes to suit. There's the option to choose from a city bike, mountain bike, race bike and running/walking profiles, as well as whether we want to avoid major roads or unpaved roads. This works pretty well, in our experience, we certainly found some quieter roads while cycling that we wouldn’t have stumbled across otherwise.

  Review: Mio Spirit 8670 LM sat nav (productReview)
  It takes around 25 seconds to boot from c old, which feels a little slow, but once up and running you’re presented with a clear range of options. When you’ve acclimatised to the menus and general interface, entering your destination – which can be done with just a postcode – is easy. Once you’ve told it where you want to go, it then presents you with a series of route options – including ‘easiest’ and ‘fastest’.

  Review: Suzuki SV650 2017 (productReview)
  One component that definitely helps keep the price down is the 645cc V-twin engine – since the design is almost 18 years old now. Fortunately, Suzuki hit a home run when it was introduced back in 1999. It was extremely well-received back then and it’s the same engine (with plenty of improvements) fitted to the new bike. So it’s not like Suzuki has a massive development budget for a new engine to recoup.

  Review: Gardena PowerMax 37/36A P4A cordless mower (productReview)
  The Gardena PowerMax 37/36A P4A is a moderately compact cordless lawn mower, and depending on the battery configuration used, is designed to take on lawns up to 350m2.  The Gardena PowerMax 37/36A P4A uses two Lithium Ion 18V batteries (and it can't run on a single battery) - it can be purchased as a bundle that includes two 4.0 Ah batteries and a quick charger for around £399 (as reviewed here), or with two 2.5 Ah batteries and a quick charger for around £359, but don't expect to cover the same ground with these less powerful batteries.
• AUCTIONS: Is buying a car from an auction straightforward? (FAQs)
  * Check the car - it's up to you to check the car's condition, so examine it prior to entering the auction hall. And listen to the engine running as it is driven into the auction hall. * All the right documents - check with the auctioneer to see if the vehicle comes with the V5, service history and an MOT to confirm the registered keeper, their address and the vehicle information.

  Review: Micro Flex Deluxe scooter (productReview)
  With a max weight of 100kg/15 and a half stone, it's the ideal option parents wanting to scoot along on the school run and urban commuters who don't want to worry about finding somewhere to lock up a bike.

  Review: Crystal Maze LIVE Experience (productReview)
  You’ll wear jumpsuits in the Maze itself and it’s best to wear loose and light clothing, as it gets very warm inside - plus, you’ll be running around and climbing a lot. There is, however, a photo opportunity before you go in for your team to wear the iconic jackets. But you wouldn’t want to wear these whilst competing in the maze - they’re far too warm.

  Review: Honda Super Cub (productReview)
  However, the high-grade feel of all of the materials used to build the Cub convince us that it will last a long time and better put up with the sort of neglect that many urban-based machines have to endure. On top of that, the Super Cub should be cheap to own and run. The sticker price is a bit higher than some competitors, but it will also retain its value more doggedly. Or you could lease one at surprisingly low cost to take the sting out of full ownership. Fuel consumption is claimed at 188.2mpg, so the Super Cub is on a par with the Monkey that it shares its 125cc air-cooled engine with.

  Review: Audio-Technica M50xBT wireless headphones (productReview)
  A-T claims its M50xBT should last for 40 hours on a single charge with a full charge taking seven hours in total. When they run out of power, you can always opt to use the 1.3m long 3.5mm jack that's provided - which has a mic and play/pause/answer call button. The headphones and cables can be kept in a storage pouch that comes in the box, too.
