  • Review: Gurston Down Hill Climb Driving School experience (productReview)
    and a full briefing. There's an introduction to the day and you're given information about the sport of Hill Climbing. Kit is then sorted and you're told how the events are run, followed by a clear brief on the hill.  And - of course - a safety brief. Divided into three smaller groups, you then walk
  • Review: Aftershokz Xtrainerz (productReview)
    .   The headphones have a built-in MP3 player which, at first glance, seems like a good idea because it means you don't need to carry a mobile phone when out running and there are obvious advantages to use when swimming, however, we soon realised we don’t own any MP3 files. These headphones don’t have Bluetooth
  • Review: Wahoo TICKR Fit heart rate monitor (productReview)
    computers and watches. It's sold with a USB charging dock that provides up to 30 hours of battery life. Wahoo claims that the TICKR Fit is compatable with 50+ of the most-popular fitness apps, including Apple Workout Strava, TrainerRoad, Nike+ Running, Runkeeper, and MapMyFitness
  • Review: Aftershokz Aeropex (productReview)
    What are they? For those that run, cycle etc - it can be tough to find the right balance between blocking out the world and remaining aware of your surroundings. This is where bone conduction headphones like the Aeropex come in, with Afterskokz being one of the biggest
  • Review: Bagotte BG800 Robot Vacuum Cleaner (productReview)
    on the app) for a main clean and once finished it will then go around the edges, cleaning those with its special side brush. Usefully, you get three spare brushes in the box along with a spare HEPA filter. There's also a triple filter system to keep allergens and the like away. With a run
  • Review: Iceplane ice scraper (productReview)
    . Obviously, de-icer makes life easier, but it’s not really necessary with the Iceplane. In all fairness, a little bit of forward planning renders any ice scraper pointless – sitting in the car for five minutes with the engine running will usually clear ice, while windscreen cover will prevent it forming
  • Review: Proviz Reflect360 Reflective Outdoors Jacket (productReview)
    - which is ideal for those who go running at night or, for example, cycle home in the dark in winter months. It uses millions of tiny, highly-reflective glass beads to ensure you stand out when a car's headlights are approaching. Wear it at night and car drivers aren't going to miss you walking along
  • Review: Honda Forza 125 2017 (productReview)
    to move around a garage or in and out of tight, crowded bike bays. Running costs are tiny. Annual tax is £17 and fuel economy is genuinely upwards of 100mpg, no matter how you ride. If you’re thinking of using the Forza instead of paying for a pricey train season ticket, it should itself off
  • Review: Bridgestone DriveGuard tyres (productReview)
    What is it? It’s a replacement tyre with run-flat capability. Normally, run-flat tyres are fitted from the factory by car manufacturers, so cars have bespoke suspension settings designed specifically to complement the tyres. DriveGuard tyres can be fitted to almost any car
  • Review: Micro Suspension Scooter (productReview)
    .   But where the Micro Suspension really earns its stripes is on the move. The larger 200mm wheels combined with the built-in rear suspension mean it's great over bumpy or rough surfaces. It really surprised us with how smooth it runs and there are no rattles on the move, instead just a lovely effortless ride
  • Review: Honda Miimo robotic lawn mower (productReview)
    the boundary is. Without this wire connected, Miimo can’t run. With that in mind, it’s best for this installation to be done earlier in the season, when the ground is soft and the wire can be easily buried. In the height of summer it can be harder to bury
  • Review: Sony PlayStation 4 Pro games console (productReview)
    . Of course, it’s difficult to convey that without actually showing you the same game running in standard resolution and in 4K – those of you who remember watching those ‘DVD is amazing’ adverts on your portable telly at the start of a VHS movie will know why. Trust us though, 4K games look beautiful
  • EGO LM1701E cordless mower (productReview)
    minutes. That's quick, but a little bit of the shine is taken off by the 20 minute run time with the supplied 2.5Ah battery. If that's not enough, EGO will sell you a 5Ah or 7.5Ah battery that deliver 40 and 60 minute charge times respectively.  The wide cutting width of 42mm means you can cover
  • Review: Tile Mate review (productReview)
    whatever your Tile is attached to and you can make it bleep so you can find it by sound, or use the map function to search out its last known location. Conversely, if you lose your phone you can double press the Tile’s button to make your phone ring, even if it’s on silent. You can also run the Tile
  • Review: Hyperkin SmartBoy (productReview)
    . You require two apps to be able to run game: MyOldBoy and SmartBoy companion. This is where we began to struggle with set up - as it’s not the plug-and-play experience that we were expecting. The menus for SmartBoy are confusing and poorly design, plus if you're using the SmartBoy, there’s only
  • Review: Amazon Echo Dot (2nd Generation) (productReview)
    your hand through a step-by-step run-through of the basics, giving you the option of setting Alexa as your default assistant, the process is smoother in some places than in others. Certainly, it doesn’t have the totally no-effort feel of, say, an Apple product
  • Review: Zero FXS 2017 (productReview)
    -style machine doesn’t run on petrol. In fact, it charges up via the same kind of power lead you plug into your kettle. Seriously. And, if this is the future, then it looks very bright indeed. Despite being matt black. Let’s just hope they can lower the price a little bit in future – because
  • Review: Garmin Instinct 2 Dezl Edition (productReview)
    on your wrist as an Apple Watch, while we even had a few people ask if we were wearing a retro Casio G-Shock. Shock-resistant and water-rated to 100 metres, though, it can certainly take a bit of a beating in your day-to-day life. We haven’t tried running it over with an 18-tonner, but it’s been dropped
  • Review: Micro Wagon (productReview)
    disappointed that the back wheels on our Wagon weren't quite straight - or in line with each other - and as they're welded, they can't be adjusted. It means the wheels don't run as smoothly as they should on pavements. However, the rest of the construction seems durable and well designed.  The Micro
  • Review: Karcher LMO 18-33 cordless mower (productReview)
    of the EGO LM1701E . The Karcher LMO 18-33 is powered by a 18-volt lithium-ion battery. You'll need to plan ahead a little before cutting your lawn as the battery takes over two hours to charge with the supplied 2.5Ah battery. Once charged, you should expect a run time of up to 24 minutes
