  Review: Vava Dash Cam (productReview)
  Despite the comparatively low price tag, the Vava is a 1080p, 60fps HD dash cam with GPS and a g-sensor for automatic footage capture when mobile or parked. What’s it like?

  Review: Vantrue OnDash N2 dash cam (productReview)
  These allow it to capture a 310-degree view around the car, meaning all the evidence you need should be recorded in the case of an incident. Further increasing its capabilities is a G sensor, which protects footage automatically when an incident is detected, and a ‘Parking Monitor’. This uses the cameras’ motion-triggered capabilities to start recording if something moves near your car, which is ideal for those worried about the damage that might be incurred while parked.

  Review: Piaggio MP3 300ie Yourban 2016 (productReview)
  width=500&height=333.33333333333337" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/12698bc3509b46bdbe20787410809cd9" /> On the handlebar there is a switch to lock the bike upright. It only works at very low speeds or when standing still and it disengages automatically when pulling away. It means riders can stop at the lights, lock the bike upright, get both feet on the footboards and then pull away very quickly when the lights turn green, which is great for a head start in busy town traffic.

  Review: Honda Super Cub (productReview)
  This latest version comes with a clean, green 125cc air-cooled engine and claimed economy of 188mpg, so it exceeds its ancestors in power and frugality. What it continues to share is Honda’s four-speed gearbox and automatic centrifugal clutch transmission. That means you press down with the ball of your foot to go down a gear and use your heel to swap up a ratio. Old school, but effective nonetheless. Many will be drawn to the Super Cub for its looks and classic flair.

  Review: Suzuki GSX-R125 (productReview)
  The GSX-R125 is Suzuki's newest 125cc race replica. There's the obvious GSX-R familiarity, which will make it automatically appealing to fans - especially considering it gets the same lovely MotoGP-inspired paint job as the GSX-R1000. Like it's more docile twin - the GSX-S125 -  the 15PS R125 also claims to have the best power-to-weight ratio and acceleration of any 125cc bike.

  Top 10: Best electric wheelchairs for cars 2020 (Article)
  Airwheel H3s Although one of the more expensive options on this list, the Airwheel H3s has a distinct advantage in that it is the only chair here to offer fully automatic folding at the touch of a button, which for some buyers will be a significant boon. A total weight of 30.5kg means it should be easy to store once folded, offers a top speed of approximately 4mph and is fully charged in eight hours or less.

  As the name suggests it sends power to each of its four wheels, giving it the capability to climb and descend 25 degree stairs, while the built-in gyroscopes automatically tilt the seat to ensure you stay level.

  Review: Mio MiVue C330 dash cam (productReview)
  One of the more affordable dash cams in Mio’s range, the MiVue C330 will set you back around £100 - although it can often be found for less online - and offers full HD recording with automatic start, GPS tracking and speed camera warnings. As well as its budget price, another selling point of the C330 is its compact size. At 51.2 x 62.6 x 37.4mm and weighing just 59.5g, you’ll barely notice it fitted to your windscreen.

  Review: Suzuki Address 110 2016 (productReview)
  There’s also a simple central speedometer and fuel gauge. But that’s it. Simple. Transmission is a CVT ‘twist and go’ automatic and it’s very smooth, making low-speed control effortless. If you’re going to spend a lot of time filtering through heavy traffic you’ll find the Address incredibly user-friendly, plus the upright riding position gives a reasonable view forward – though the exhaust is very quiet, so drivers are unlikely to hear you coming.

  Review: Kenwood kMix Chrome Collection KMX760 (productReview)
  The Chrome KMX760 is pretty quiet as stand mixers go, with no discernable ratting even at high speeds with a lot of mixture in the bowl. The automatic shut off when the mixer head is lifted and non-slip feet are also nice touches in terms of safety precautions.

  Review: Amazon Echo Dot (2nd Generation) (productReview)
  Less conspiratorially, it is true that Alexa automatically records all your voice commands. You can delete this entire record on the app, or delete the whole day’s worth via voice command (once you’ve enabled that option in the privacy settings).

  Besides checking and clear codes, it can show live data – including two readouts on the same graph simultaneously – and reset oil warning lights and electronic parking brake systems. The NT614 will also automatically identify the car it’s been plugged into, improving its accuracy and ease of use. It has a 4.3-inch colour display, too, and features an impact-resistant case and free lifetime upgrades. Autel Maxisys Elite Diagnostic Tool This professional-grade system commands a hefty premium – and justifiably so, given that it’s stacked to the nines with features that make it ideal for those dealing with numerous cars.

  Top 10: Best axle stands 2023 (Article)
  Faithfull 3 Tonne Axle Stands These three-tonne stands, like many rivals, have a ratchet-based mechanism – so, as you pull the central column upwards, it locks automatically into place. However, in order to grant additional security, these axle stands are also equipped with locking pins. Consequently, even if the ratchet release is accidentally knocked, the axle stand won’t drop.

  Review: Anker Soundcore Flare (productReview)
  width=500&height=333.33333333333337" alt="" data-udi="umb://media/3ce89702077e44ba8cfbd70d83d25017" /> Setting it up couldn’t be easier – just hit the Bluetooth button on the speaker, start a search using your Bluetooth music device (most likely your phone) and the Soundcore will pair up. From then on, whenever the Soundcore is switched on it will automatically pair with the last device it was hooked to. And when it does it’ll treat you to a fancy audible alert, which it’ll also do when it powers on or off. Another nice little touch. The top of the cylinder houses buttons for volume, bass boost and the lights — while the play/pause button can be used for a variety of things, including taking calls and activating voice control on a smartphone.

  Review: Lenco L-400 Turntable (productReview)
  If you're used to a more old-school record player, the L-400 can seem a little over-complicated at first. For starters, if you lift the arm, the turntable doesn't start spinning automatically, instead, you have to press the start/stop button. Similarly, at the end of a record, it doesn't auto-return, the record will just continue to spin. You have to manually lift the arm and replace it.

  Top 10: Dash cams under £20 (Article)
  MILALOKO Full HD 1080P Car Camera - £18.95 Excuse the sudden 30 per cent rise in price, but the MILALOKO justifies the extra £4.45 on account of some features we’ve not seen on any of these other offerings. It’s compact like the PHARMIS, which is always a plus, and also offers automatic file save in the event of you clocking excess g-force. Uniquely, it received almost universal praise from Amazon reviewers. This may be the sweet spot after all.
