  Review: Bagotte BG800 Robot Vacuum Cleaner (productReview)
  According to Bagotte, the BG800 will clean floors of over 500 square feet in around 40 to 50 minutes, and the unit then returns to the charging base automatically when the job is done. Included in the box are the docking station and a roll of magnetic tape to prevent the vacuum from going places you don't want it.

  Review: Z-Edge T4 Dual dash cam (productReview)
  The T4 has a parking mode, so will capture footage if it detects a movement when the car is parked. The same G-sensor will automatically save any footage if it detects sudden movement such as hard braking or a collision. It also comes with a 32GB micro SD card included. Admittedly these aren't expensive to buy at around £7, but it's handy if you're setting the camera up and realise you forgot to buy one.

  Review: Bragi Dash Pro (productReview)
  Just ask the in-built Alexa, Siri or Google Assistant. Off for a swim? The waterproof Bragi will automatically track your heart rate, activity duration, calories burnt and how many lengths you’ve swum. There’s even an in-built translation service which helps you communicate in 40 different languages. Of course, it’ll do the music thing too.

  Review: Hooke Verse audio recording headphones (productReview)
  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. That said, saving and exporting can take some time if the video is on the longer side.

  Review: Sony PlayStation 4 Pro games console (productReview)
  Certain developers have developed 'enhanced' versions of older games, with either framerate or graphical improvements, which will be updated automatically as a free patch if you already own the game. However, as time goes on more games are being developed specifically for the Pro, with big budget blockbuster titles like God of War and Horizon: Zero Dawn running in maximum resolution with HDR.

  Cheap van insurance for builders, plumbers and electricians explained (Article)
  It isn’t unheard for a van to be off the road for two or three weeks while the insurer's approved garage waits for an elusive part to be delivered.  Finally, beware of automatically renewals. Most insurance providers will include an auto renewal as part of the deal, which means you sign up for another 12 months' cover when you policy expires. However, the premiums are almost always more expensive and include a fee, so it pays to shop around.

  Review: TomTom GO Essential (productReview)
  The TomTom notifies us when we receive a text or call, as long as the smartphone is paired via Bluetooth. Although, it didn't always automatically reconnect via Bluetooth, meaning we had to sit in our car for a few minutes attempting to pair our phone to the device again. If we click a text message notification when it appears on the screen, the TomTom will read it aloud for us.

  Review: FenSens Smart Wireless Parking Sensor (productReview)
  The button clips onto your steering wheel for ease of use, though we found this to be a bit irritating when it came to actually turning the wheel. In theory, you hit the 'Tap' button and the app launches automatically on Android phones (if the screen isn't locked). If the screen is locked, or you have an iPhone, you need to click the notification you receive to launch the app. However, if you click the Tap button before launching the app then it goes into advertising mode, meaning it won't be discoverable by your phone.

  Top 10: 125cc bikes with manual transmissions (Article)
  It’s also cheaper than its predecessor, plus it’s easier to ride than almost anything else on two wheels, with the exception of automatic scooters. It’ll keep up with traffic, it’ll hold its value well and it should cope with winter road salt. As a solid, no-frills all-rounder it’s arguably the best bike in this list. Suzuki VanVan 125 - £3199 With its retro styling and big squishy rear tyre, the VanVan is tremendously comfy and easy to ride, thanks to a low seat height and light controls.

  Used Van Buying Guide: Volkswagen Transporter T5 2003-2015 (Article)
  Usually front-wheel drive, the T5 can have all-wheel drive via Volkswagen's 4Motion system, which unless you’re determined to reach the most inaccessible places, isn’t really necessary. Volkswagen DSG automatics aren’t without problems in the long term. Volkswagen has recalled DSG equipped T5 models to replace the synthetic oil with mineral oil. The manuals are a safer bet long term. Maintenance  on a Volkswagen T5 Transporter Mechanically the T5 is relatively robust, with the biggest issues being based around the dual mass flywheel.
• Review: Nextbase 322GW dash cam (productReview)
  It features the usual Nextbase 2.5-inch touchscreen and while it does without posher features like Alexa and image stabilisation, it does still have a parking mode which will automatically record any movement on the vehicle when it's parked. It's mounted with the Click & Go Pro mount (there's a suction mount or a 3M tape option) which uses high-strength magnets to link the mount's power source to the dash cam.

  Review: Ring Video Doorbell 2 (productReview)
  The Ring Video Doorbell 2 can be hardwired where your current doorbell (assuming you have one) currently sits or with a supplied rechargeable battery pack - which is what we're using. The camera automatically records visitors as they approach your house and you can speak with anyone who comes to your front door via a call function. This is very useful for dealing with couriers, i.e. if you want them to leave a parcel somewhere secure rather than taking it back to the Post Office - as well as for safety if you want to keep an eye on the front of your house but don't want to invest in a full home security system.

  Review: Garmin 66W (productReview)
  Essentially, it means the 66W can capture footage of four lanes at once - which is a good thing if someone swings across a roundabout or crosses multiple lanes on the motorway and hits your car. If you do get into a collision, the dash cam will also automatically save a video if the G-sensor detects an incident. Like most dash cameras, it records in a continuous loop - so you'll need to save any footage you want to keep or it will be overwritten by new footage.

  Simply plug the power lead into a 12v socket and set the digital gauge to the required pressure - the 635 does the rest, automatically stopping when the target pressure has been achieved. It also has a torch for nighttime inflation, a flashing red light in case of an emergency and a release valve if you need to deflate.
