  Review: Tile Slim (productReview)
  But it's essentially anything you don't want to lose or you're worried about going stray. Your luggage, digital cameras, backpacks, laptops or car. According to Tile's website, some customers even use the waterproof models - like the Tile Style - to track their tortoise, which has a habit of getting lost in the garden.

  Review: Hive Active Heating 2 (productReview)
  On the plus side, Hive is a modular system, so you can add sensors, lights, smart plugs and security cameras - which can all be managed and monitored with a smart assistant like Amazon's Alexa. It's definitely not cheap, with Hive's smart lightbulbs starting at £19, but it's a well thought out system for those wanting to upgrade to a proper smart home.

  Review: Lenco BTL-450 Bluetooth tower speaker (productReview)
  The video below demonstrates one lighting mode, but doesn't full convey the sound quality of the speaker as much as the quality of our camera microphone... There's also a built-in FM radio with auto-scan if you don't fancy any of your own music.

  Review: Nonda Zus smart car charger (productReview)
  It works alongside the ZUS app which includes a mileage log and also works with other Nonda products including a tyre pressure monitor, reversing camera and an OBD II connector for monitoring your vehicle status. What's it like?

  Review: Mio Spirit 8670 LM sat nav (productReview)
  It features a big 6.2-inch touchscreen, maps of Europe with lifetime updates, Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free mobile calls, traffic updates, speed limit warnings and safety camera alerts. All of this is wrapped up in a neatly presented unit that will set you back around £159.99, undercutting myriad similar six-inch options from rival brands. What’s it like?

  Review: TomTom Go 5200 sat nav (productReview)
  For starters, it packs a five-inch screen, worldwide maps with free updates, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, speed camera alerts, integrated live traffic updates and voice control. And if you connect your phone to it, it can also read out your text messages and provide hands-free calling - it’s compatible with Siri and Google Now, so your electronic personal assistants can be used while on the move.

  Review: Sphero Mini (productReview)
  There are various different driving methods - you can use a standard virtual joystick, the tilt control or even with your lovely face. The latter uses the front-facing camera on your mobile phone, with expressions and head tilts corresponding to different directions. However, when it comes down to it, the ball mostly just rolls around in one place or zooms off in a random direction whenever the required scowl, shock face or sad expression is made.

  Review: Shenen 7.0-inch sat nav (productReview)
  More complicated motorway junctions are also presented in a pictorial form, aiding guidance. Useful features like speed camera warnings and speed limit reminders further serve to curb the stress of a journey.

  Review: Michelin Fit2Go Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) (productReview)
  An aftermarket TPMS is a useful investment for those with older vehicles that don't offer in-built tyre pressure monitoring systems - as well for those who want to keep an eye on towed trailers, horseboxes or the like. Much like a dash camera , it's much better to have the device and not need it than wish you'd had it after a tyre blows out and leaves you stranded. This offering from Michelin is simple to fit and use with no batteries to change in the sensors or display unit and no cables to route around your vehicle.

  Review: Airlabs Airbubbl (productReview)
  The Airbubbl is hooked up to the car's 12v socket via a USB lead and a dual port 12v adaptor - which is provided. The adaptor has two USB slots, so you can charge your phone or run something like a dash camera at the same time. Unfortunately, our Nextbase 512GW dash cam uses a 12v cable, so we could only use our dash cam or the Airbubbl - rather than using both at once. This won't be an issue if you have a USB port in your car as well, though.

  Review: TomTom Go Camper (productReview)
  This means you get all of the route and traffic features of the standard TomTom, with the peace of mind that the Go Camper won't take you on a route that will leave you stuck down a small road that isn't suitable for the weight and/or size of your van.  As with the majority of TomToms, world maps and traffic updates and safety camera locations are included at no extra cost for the lifetime of the device. The Go Camper also has full access to TomTom MyDrive, which allows you to download roadtrips, camping sites and stopover locations.

  Review: Hooke Verse audio recording headphones (productReview)
  Plus, unlike the iPhone-only Sennheiser Ambeo headset (for the time being anyway), the Verse works with Android too. The free app is excellent, essentially taking control of your phone’s camera but overlaying it with specific controls for volume and such, plus a recording button that tells you whether you’re in binaural (3D) or 2D sound modes. Each video you record is automatically exported to your phone’s photo/video stream – they’re not held in the app for you to transfer manually, which is handy.

  Review: Anker Nebula Capsule II (productReview)
  Like most of Anker's products, the quality is fantastic and this comes across very quickly within the first few minutes of using the device. On the front of the projector, you'll find the 720p lens and a small camera that focuses the projection output - meaning it automatically adjusts the autofocus. We needed to manually adjust the focus every now and then (by holding the HDMI button down for a few seconds) but, generally, it does a very good job of doing this itself.
