  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.

  Camping Equipment product of the Year shortlist (Article)
  We think it's worth spending a few extra quid to get a brand you recognise, especially when you're dealing with something that runs on gas. >> Read the full review Sealey portable BBQ Sealey's Portable Charcoal BBQ is a compact cooker that won't leave you too out of pocket.

  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.

  Review: Hedkayse One helmet (productReview)
  We're more likely to stick with leaving our old helmet locked to the bike at the station, meaning more room in a backpack and less weight on the run. That said, if we were using public hire bikes more regularly, then we would turn to this lid. At £150, the Hedkayse is more expensive than many other quality helmets, which while not folding, are rated very highly.

  Review: Suzuki GSX-R125 (productReview)
  It looks the business, too, and would make a great little commuter machine for entry-level riders who want to nip through traffic. Being a Suzuki, there shouldn't be any reliability issues either. It's pretty cheap to run (tax is £19 for the year, after all) and it doubles up as a fun little bike to throw around on the weekends. The size makes it an excellent choice for new riders who will want to be able to put their feet on the ground at red lights, but taller riders will almost certainly struggle feeling so tucked up on it.

  Top 10: Best electric drills 2023 (Article)
  Dewalt DCD796P2-GB Cordless Brushless Drill Kit If you want a powerful cordless drill that’s going to run for ages then this DeWalt package is a great option; it comes with a charger and two high-capacity 5.0Ah batteries, unlike the lesser batteries that tend to be offered in other kits. It’s also light, easy to control and has a hammer mode.

  Review: Brainwavz S0 headphones (productReview)
  We found the Comply foam tips to be very effective in the office at blocking out the hubbub of keyboards tapping, quiet chatter and ringing phones. They aren't  practical for use at the gym though, When running,  the shirt clip is necessary to stop the weight of the wire pulling the earphones out. The bi and tri-flange tips are great for  higher levels of isolation.

  Top 10: Cheapest vacuum cleaners (Article)
  Vax Gator Cordless Handheld Currently offered at a reduced price of £40, this Vax model has a 10V rating to give a slightly longer run time of 15 minutes, with a 300ml capacity and a modest weight of 1.24kg should make it easy to handle. It’s also another brand with plenty of experience in the field, which probably explains the two-year UK guarantee too.

  Top 10: Cheapest dash cams (Article)
  Orskey provide a 12-month guarantee along with the dash cam, however, they don't provide the micro SD card you'll need to get the S680 up and running.  Petzio dual dash cam Simply called the Petzio dash cam, as far as we can tell, this model offers a front and back model for this price - making it very decent value for money. There isn't a whole lot of technical information available, but footage resolution is 1080P and we can assume the rear dash cam will record at 720p.

  Review: Yamaha NMAX 125 (productReview)
  The seat height is a little taller than the Honda PCX’s, but what’s 5mm between friends? And like the Honda, the Yamaha is not a step-thru design, so you have a central spar running between your legs. This gives a sense of greater solidity, though it means you can’t stash a shopping bag or lap case down there as you ride. However, the underseat storage is good on the NMAX, so you can keep bags safe and dry as you ride and then store a full-face helmet with room to spare once you’ve parked up.
