  • Review: Suaoki R800 dash cam (productReview)
    In the box, you get the camera itself along with an adhesive mount rather than a suction type (we searched online but couldn't find a suitable suction mount that would fit), plus a three-metre power cable with a moulded 12v power socket plug.  The R800 doesn't feel the best quality product when you get it out of the box.

  • Review: Ring RAC 635 digital air compressor (productReview)
    Build quality is sturdy - in our testing we dropped and bashed the unit and while it does have a few little scratches here and there it’s still in one very chunky piece. Should I buy one? Prices vary depending on where you buy, but typically the RAC 635 can be found for around £30. At that price it’s a smart buy, particularly if you have a second car that rarely moves and needs its air topping up before a drive, or if you have an outdoor hobby like cycling, camping or water sports.

It will charge your iPhone twice, in fact, we managed two and a half charges. But it took around two hours to get our iPhone 7S from 1% up to about 97%, even though it was in low power mode.
