  • Review: Sealey PW2200 Pressure Washer (productReview)
    There’s quality polished chrome and brass fittings, accessory storage on the back and a hook for hanging the hose.  Hook it up to the water supply via a standard Hozelock-style connector, plug it in and you’re off. With the first few squeezes of the trigger, you really get a sense of why the PW2200 weighs what does - it really packs a punch.
  • Review: Aukey DR02 dash cam (productReview)
    The simplest should be by using the USB cable that otherwise acts as the charging lead. However, we were unable to get it to simply act as a storage unit, and instead, the laptop simply acted as a power source, which meant the camera started recording footage, rather than allowing us to take the existing films off. Instead, we had to revert to an SD adaptor and simply dragging the files off.
  • Auction house profile: The Market (Article)
    If you would like to keep the car at home and host viewings, we recommend using one of our photographers who can generate the full photography for around £125. We also have the Concierge service at our HQ to provide professional photography, storage, handling of all viewings and handover for just £250. All auctions include a professionally written auction listing which always aims to offer the most transparent description of any car.
  • Top 10: Car covers (Article)
    A2B Shopping Car Top Cover One of the cheapest car covers on the market, this cover sits over the glass area of your car, so although it won’t protect your paintwork it will help to regulate the cabin temperature and speed up your getaway in wintery conditions. Four straps are finished with four plastic hooks for security, and it comes in its own storage bag too. Maypole 9861 Full Car Cover The XL size of this car cover is something of a bargain at £22, but with offers currently on the smaller versions it represents exceptional value.
  • 125cc Motorcycle of the Year shortlist (Article)
    It’s not the cheapest 125cc bike you can buy, nor is it the most practical compared to some scooters with masses of storage. However, there are keen lease deals on offer and 189mpg combined fuel economy, plus a 200-mile-plus tank range. Being a Honda, it will also be  relentlessly reliable, easy to live with, cheap to service and carry on working when most other 125cc machines will have expired in a puff of smoke. 
  • Review: Philips DVT4010 VoiceTracer (productReview)
    The built-in battery is recharged via a supplied micro USB lead that also makes it easy to connect the unit to a computer so you can boost the battery and transfer audio files for transcription. With 8GB of built-in memory, it's unlikely that anyone will run out of storage with this device capable of recording 88 days of audio. 
    Review: Disklok steering lock (productReview)
    There are three sizes - small, medium and large - so it will suit most cars as well as pick-ups, vans and campervans. To protect your steering wheel there's an extra cover you can buy (£5.99) plus a carry storage bag for the Disklok itself for £9.99. What's it like?
  • Review: Vespa Elettrica (productReview)
    As with other Vespa models, you will be able to choose from a variety of options for the Elettrica, such as a top box to augment the underseat storage that can hold an open-face helmet. There will also be screens and luggage racks, and you can pick from one of seven body colours in the usual bright hues Vespa is noted for. The Elettrica is an appealing prospect for town dwellers.
  • Review: Honda Vision 110 (productReview)
    If it doesn’t, there are two securing hooks, on either side of the seat, while cubbies in the inner front fairing offer additional but unsecure storage. A pillion gets fold-down foot pegs and enough comfort for most cross-town journeys. Lastly, we come to cost. That extra £200 on the purchase price to bag yourself the Vision 110 instead of the 50 is money very spent in our book.
  • Review: Honda CMX 500 Rebel 2017 (productReview)
    There is a back seat but it’s tiny, so don’t expect to carry a pillion very far or in any degree of comfort. In fact, practicality is lacklustre in general, with no storage areas or weather protection. On the plus side, the engine is slightly ahead of the seat and the riding position means it, along with the air flowing through the radiator, keeps your legs warm on a cold day.
  • Review: Thule Gauntlet 3.0 Attaché (productReview)
    The hardened edges also provide rigid structure too, limiting any damage should you drop it.  As well as space for a 13-inch laptop, the bag has two deep pockets, with storage for power leads and computer accessories. There are also lots of snap shut pockets, large enough for pens, notebooks and tape measures. Like the laptop compartment, the pockets can also be secured by a Velcro strap, which means you don't have to worry about the contents falling out when you open the bag.
  • Review: TowerTop Tyre Inflator (productReview)
    On top of that it's pretty quiet and thanks to the little shock absorbers, it doesn't move all over the place when operating. Downsides? The cable storage is a bit messy and it's not that obvious where the air hose is supposed to go - we'd prefer a wind-up power cable similar to other units like the new Ring Ultrainflate range. Also, while there are extra adaptors, they live in a small bag in the case, it would be more useful if these were kept on the unit itself.
  • Review: Thule Motion 3 roofbox (productReview)
    Handy as with it fitted we can't take the Audi Q7 into any height restricted car parks. There are covers available for storage but at the moment ours is kept on wall hooks with a sheet over it. Should I buy one?
  • Top 10: Cheapest Pressure Washers 2023 (Article)
    Maximum available pressure is 100 bar delivered through the lance with an adjustable nozzle, with a supplied detergent bottle for cleaning chemicals, all of which clip neatly to the body to allow simple storage. Andrew James Immacuclean High Pressure Washer Jet Sneaking under the £100 mark thanks to a Prime discount, this pressure washer from Andrew James is well-equipped and full of useful features.
  • Review: Honda Izy HRG 416 SK (productReview)
    Larger variants are better for bigger lawns, but the Izy HRG 416 SK is for small and medium lawns - large enough to make good progress, but compact enough for easy storage. It arrives well packaged in a substantial box and if you’ve bought from a reputable dealer, it should be almost set up and ready to go with just the grass bag to put together (the work of moments) and the handlebar to fold up and secure in place.
  • Review: Nextbase 612GW dash cam (productReview)
    This can be done by an app on your phone or tablet, or more conventionally, by either attaching the USB cable to the camera and your computer, or taking the SD card out. The latter options are simple – and give you the option to treat the camera as a mass storage device allowing you to drag files off. The app is a more complicated process, as it requires you to connect your phone or tablet and the camera via WiFi.
  • Review: Kawasaki Z250SL 2016 (productReview)
    It doesn’t need to be loud, just noticeable. Practicality is poor. The Z250SL offers no real weather protection, the underseat storage is barely large enough for a wallet and the pillion pad, while present, is too high up and too small to be of any real use. The rear suspension can be adjusted for carrying a pillion, but it’s difficult and hardly worth the effort considering how uncomfortable a passenger would be.
  • Review: Piaggio Medley 125 2016 (productReview)
    And when it comes to resale, it is likely to hold its value better than Chinese-made machines. Factor in the impressive build, the smooth, efficient engine along with the extremely practical storage area and the Medley starts to make a lot of sense.
  • How to buy a scooter (Article)
    Are there other storage options on the scooter? Many have front boxes under the handle bars that are ideal for holding phones or even laptops. Check these cubbies are watertight, though, before leaving your precious electrical goods in there.
  • How to: Import a classic car (Article)
    If you’re bringing it in from further afield or simply don’t have the time for a classic driving holiday, you could choose a shipping agent to undertake the process for you. They will arrange shipping, and storage at the docks – and in some cases liaise directly with the authorities. A popular and reasonably inexpensive way to get it home is roll-on roll-off shipping – basically your classic will sit on the deck or in the hold of a cargo ship, and gently steam across the world.
