GoodHome Sagami Orange Charcoal Egg BBQ review: A brilliant way to bake, grill, sear and smoke outdoors
GoodHome Sagami Orange Charcoal Egg BBQ. T3’s GoodHome Sagami Orange Charcoal Egg BBQ review in a sentence: A brilliant budget option that’s super versatile and cooks all sorts without fuss. I’ve often fancied trying the Big Green Egg, which is a kamado-style barbecue that’s a real hit with hardcore BBQ aficionados and frequently rides high in best barbecue guides. Being more of a casual outdoor cooking type, I could never really justify the high cost of a genuine Big Green Egg.
Eufy Omni S2 Robot Vacuum review: Great suction, brilliant mopping and low-maintenance appeal
Eufy Omni S2 Robot Vacuum . T3’s Eufy Omni S2 Robot Vacuum review in a sentence: A brilliant all-round solution that can tackle a variety of floor coverings with little in the way of supervision. It’s taken a while to appear, but after some fine-tuning, the Eufy Omni S2 Robot Vacuum is finally upon us. This premium product covers all of the basics, but Eufy has engineered in plenty of new features and functions to attract buyers who are already spoilt for choice.
Eufy Omni S2 Robot Vacuum review: Great suction, brilliant mopping and low-maintenance appeal
This Solar Security Camera Runs Forever on Sunlight, Amazon Just Cut It to a New Low The eufy SoloCam S220 charges itself from sunlight, stores footage locally with no subscription, and needs just one hole in the wall to install. Most …

I used Vantrue’s unique thermal imaging dash cam in my car for two weeks — but I was more impressed with its huge touchscreen and easy Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility for older cars
Vantrue Pilot 2 dash cam . Vantrue Pilot 2: two-minute review It’s becoming increasingly difficult to stand out in the overcrowded dash cam marketplace. However, Vantrue is having a stab at it with the Vantrue Pilot 2 dash cam, which the brand claims is the world’s first model to incorporate thermal imaging. This is certainly a first for me, and having reviewed the best dash cams on the market, this three-channel model plus the thermal camera did sound promising.
Husqvarna Automower 312V review: quality cutting from a trusted brand
Husqvarna Automower 312. T3's Husqvarna Automower 312V review in a sentence: The sophisticated tech packs plenty of appeal and we love the cut too. Husqvarna recently took the covers off a trio of new robot lawn mowers, including the Husqvarna Automower 312V. It’s aimed at robot lawn mower newbies with a fondness for tech or, perhaps, those looking to update their machine to a more sophisticated offering and can handle lawns of up to 1,200m².
Agorapulse review
Agorapulse. Agorapulse is a software package that lets you take better control of your social media management tasks. It can be used by medium-sized businesses and upwards, along with agencies that focus solely on social media activity. It’s engineered to work seamlessly with popular social media tools, including the likes of X (Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube. As of 2026, TikTok, Pinterest, Threads, Bluesky, Reddit, and Google Business profiles are also supported.
I tested the Miofive Mirror 1 for a month – it’s the 4K dash cam could replace your rearview mirror (if it fits)
Miofive Mirror Dash Cam. Miofive Mirror 1: two-minute review While I’ve tried plenty of the best dash cams on the market, I’ve spent less time using one of the alternatives – a mirror dash cam, such as the Miofive Mirror 1 Dash Cam. It's a chunky hunk of kit, being designed to fit over a standard issue rear view mirror, using one of three different mounting options. It can be strapped, stuck or screwed on, but no matter which option is employed, the result is the same – this is a large gadget.
Hootsuite review
Hootsuite has been building its reputation as one of the best social media management tools since 2008. If you need social media management or analytics, it's one of the oldest options available in the market.
Dyson Spot + Scrub Ai robot vacuum review: decent but it could be better
Dyson Spot + Scrub. T3’s Dyson Spot + Scrub Ai review in a sentence: A premium robot vacuum that benefits from beefy features but isn’t quite as smart as we’d hoped for. The robot vacuum cleaner marketplace is packed with plenty of options. There are models that just vacuum, others that offer hard floor mopping too and, naturally, plenty that pack some AI now that everything has to have something vaguely artificial intelligence about it.
Want to buy a dash cam? These are the best 3 for all budgets
Best Overall The Nextbase iQ Dash Cam is a premium solution that comes with oodles of features and functions, plus the ability to video the road ahead and the cabin of your vehicle too. It can also be supplemented with a rear-facing camera for complete coverage, both inside and out. It’s possible to unlock extra features by signing up for a Thinkware subscription package, that boosts the appeal of this chunky dash cam.
I tested the Thinkware U3000 Pro Dash Cam and it has heaps of potential — but it's outshone by affordable rivals
Thinkware U3000 Pro. Thinkware U3000 Pro: two-minute review Thinkware has recently introduced the U3000 Pro Dash Cam as a beefier edition of its existing U3000 model. The company is already well-known for producing some of the best dash cams out there, but this model takes things a step further with Connected Service support.
I tested Thinkware's new flagship dash cam it's a minor update with an eye-raising price tag
Thinkware U3000 Pro: two-minute reviewThinkware has recently introduced the U3000 Pro Dash Cam as a beefier edition of its existing U3000 model. The company is already well-known for producing some of the best dash cams out there, but this model takes things a step further with Connected Service support.
Cuisinart Grind, Tamp and Brew Espresso machine review: A premium experience for coffee buffs
Cuisinart Grind, Tamp and Brew Espresso machine . Cuisinart has recently taken the covers off no less than five new coffee machines, which is impressive. The Cuisinart Grind, Tamp and Brew Espresso model you see here sits at the more expensive end of the product spectrum, but for good reason. This is a coffee machine aimed at enthusiasts and budding baristas, with lots of manual controls along with no less than 16 grind settings.
70mai 4K T800 Dash Cam review: superior shooting from three angles
70mai 4K T800 Dash Cam. 70mai 4K T800 Dash Cam review in a sentence: a comprehensive surveillance solution that covers all bases. Fans of aftermarket automotive products will know of SEMA, held annually in Las Vegas. It’s a trade show dedicated to showcasing just about every car or truck accessory, including dash cams. One of the biggest names present this year was 70mai, which is where I got to take a deep dive into the 70mai 4K T800 Dash Cam.
Best electric bikes, road-tested by an expert
While electric bikes used to attract a degree of scepticism from seasoned cycling purists, many have since been converted. It’s easy to see why, because choosing the right electric bike for your needs can make life so much easier. Even many cycling pros have admitted it’s hard to dispute the appeal of battery power for getting that extra push over the hill from time to time.
KitchenAid Pure Power Blender review: stylish simplicity
KitchenAid Pure Power Blender. T3's KitchenAid Pure Power Blender review in a sentence: easy to use and ready for just about anything including beefy ice cubes. There are oodles of blenders on the market, which can make choosing one to buy a little bamboozling to say the least. In which case, I’d be inclined to suggest going with a well-respected name. That’s where the KitchenAid Pure Power Blender comes in.
I tested the VanTrue Nexus 5S dash cam – it's a rare, high-quality quadruple cam for complete coverage, inside and out
VanTrue Nexus N5S dash cam. VanTrue Nexus 5S: two-minute review I thought the 70mai 4K T800 three-dash cam bundle, which I reviewed recently, was one of the best dash cams I’d tried in a while. It’s still my first choice currently, because it’s such a well-rounded package; however, anyone wanting to top that particular trio of cameras now has the VanTrue Nexus 5S, which goes one better and offers full four-channel coverage. Overkill?
Dreame Aqua10 Roller Complete review: top mopping and great suction too
Dreame Aqua10 Roller Complete . T3’s Dreame Aqua10 Roller Complete review in a sentence: An effective vacuum and mopping machine designed for larger spaces with a mix of floor coverings. I used to think that even the best robot vacuums were good, but they weren’t great and no replacement for a ‘proper’ model like the best cordless vacuums. However, things have moved on in the last couple of years, and robot vacuums have come a long way on the cleaning proficiency front.

Blueair Signature Air Purifier review: the best for bigger rooms
Blueair Signature Air Purifier. T3's Blueair Signature Air Purifier review in a sentence: Stylish design works brilliantly, especially in larger rooms. I recently got to see the growing range of Blueair indoor air treatment products, one of which was this, the new Blueair Signature Air Purifier. Not only did it look really good, the appliance appeared to be getting great results in the room where the products were being showcased.
I've reviewed 20 dash cams this year, and 70mai's premium 4K T800 now tops the lot as my premium pick
70mai 4K T80. 70mai Dash Cam 4K T800: two-minute review I’ve been mildly obsessed with the best dash cams since getting rear-ended by another car. Nowadays, I tend to bypass more basic models, like the Nextbase Piqo and head for something with a more substantial set of features. The Viofo A329 Pro Dash Cam, for example, is a great option. However, the 70mai 4K T800 three dash cam bundle supplants Viofo as my current pick of the dash cam crop.
Lavazza Assoluta Bean-To-Cup Coffee Machine review: premium on every level
Lavazza Assoluta. I know how serious folks get about their coffee, which is obviously why Lavazza has added the Lavazza Assoluta Bean-To-Cup Coffee Machine to its product portfolio. A first for the brand. Everything about this machine is premium, from the price through to the quality cups of fresh coffee it produces. There’s another upside too, because the Lavazza Assoluta offers delicious fresh coffee but it’s quick and easy to use. Not all best bean to cup coffee machines are like this.
Hoover HW3 Turbo Clean Cordless Floor Washer review: takes on hard surfaces brilliantly
Hoover HW3 Turbo Clean . T3’s Hoover HW3 Turbo Clean review in a sentence: A versatile 2-in-1 solution that can take on most floor surfaces with the minimum of fuss. Somewhat stupidly, I spent years cleaning my hard floors manually, getting down on all fours and working my way across the kitchen and dining room area with a wet cloth. More recently though, I’ve been lucky enough to have reviewed a few floor mops, and they’ve been a revelation.
Cosori Turbo Tower 10.8L air fryer review: twin baskets and a stacked design hit the spot
Cosori Turbo Tower 10.8L air fryer. T3’s Cosori Turbo Tower 10.8L air fryer review in a sentence: Dual baskets and lots of cooking options make this stacking monster a hit. Cosori has released a pair of new models recently, with this model, the Cosori Turbo Tower 10.8L air fryer being complimented by the Cosori Turbo Tower Pro Smart. The former is an air fryer aimed at users on a lower budget (though it's not exactly cheap) but still packs in plenty of features and functionality.
I’ve seen the latest Blueair products – its new Signature air purifier is its best yet
Blueair Signature. I’ve reviewed numerous indoor air treatment products over the years and reckon Blueair make some of the best air purifiers money can buy. Not only do they work really well, but they’re also appliances that pack plenty of style, rather than being dull beige boxes which detract from the ambience of your home. I finally met up with the company in the wake of IFA to hear how Blueair is expanding rapidly.
BambooHR review
The company set out to build a simplified platform that works for HR teams and employees alike, and we think it’s nailed that brief. The BambooHR package does a little bit of everything, which includes helping to onboard new employees, analyze people data and manage benefits all while helping to get the job done in a fresh and fun kind of way.
Patriot Accounting and Payroll review
Patriot now counts 65,000+ customers on its books, having facilitated over $19 billion in payroll processing. It also boasts of an average time for customers to run payroll of less than three minutes – a testament to its ease of use. The real bonus with Patriot, however, is that it seems to have retained its original roots feel, with a keenness on providing a great level of customer service and support.
Roborock’s beefy new range now includes robot lawn mowers alongside robot vacuums, a brilliant upright steam cleaner and more
Roborock Qrevo C2 Pro. Roborock is well known for making some of the best robot vacuums money can buy. However, I’ve just seen the beefy new lineup of Roborock products, and the range has been dramatically expanded. Top of the pile for me is a trio of robot lawn mowers, topped by the Roborock Zeo X that boasts four-wheel steering. There’s also a revised range of robot vacuums, with in the case of the Roborock Qrevo Curv Series, a curvy new design that makes it stand out from the crowd.
I tested the Rove R2-4K Dual Pro Dash Cam bundle, and it's great value if you need two in-car cameras
Rove R2-4K Dual Pro . Rove R2-4K Dual Pro dash cam: two-minute review Dash cams are becoming increasingly advanced, but their core job is still to capture video. The Rove R2-4K Dual Pro Dash Cam will certainly do that, and is supposedly the company’s most advanced dual-camera model to date, although the conventional design doesn’t suggest that at all – it looks like a no-frills dash cam bundle. The package consists of a front-facing 4K camera, supplemented by a rear-facing 2K camera.

Morphy Richards MRXStickPro review: powerful suction and automatic emptying impress the most
Morphy Richards MRXStickPro. T3’s Morphy Richards MRXStickPro review in a sentence: Hugely capable stick vacuum complimented by a sizable bin in the docking station. I’ve tried out numerous stick vacuums over the years and many of them are essentially variations on the same theme. And, while lots of folks gravitate towards the best Dyson vacuum cleaners, possibly due to the strength of the brand name, lots of other options are just as good, if not better.
Crunch accounting review
Crunch website screenshot. Crunch is an interesting proposition, especially for the likes of freelancers, contractors, those who are self-employed and small business owners especially during the ongoing coronavirus crisis. The company now has Crunch Free too, an entry-level online accounting software package that supplements its paid-for options. It’s not a one-stop accounting solution however, even though using their online outlet is one part of the process.
FreshBooks accounting software review
FreshBooks is a doddle to use, has the capacity to expand with your business needs and, thankfully, keeps those stress levels low as you build up your accounting profile. New features for this year include advanced search, the ability to download your own statements, Dropbox connectivity, new keyboard shortcuts and much more.
Xero Tax Accounting review
Packed with pro-level features it comes armed and ready for the UK government’s Making Tax Digital campaign. Business owners need to be ready for if they haven't already prepared for it. Xero Tax might be specifically aimed at accountants, but it offers users a wealth of bookkeeping options. These range from handling corporation tax and producing accounts for small businesses through to more muscular tools for dealing with larger concerns with more demanding requirements.
iRobot vs eufy vs Dreame: which robot vacuum brand is best?
IRobot vs eufy vs Dreame. I was always interested in the appeal of the best robot vacuums, much more so than the generic models that didn’t offer much in the way of additional features and functions. That’s why I decided to focus on iRobot, eufy and Dreame when searching for my own model a while back. I’ve already reviewed quite a lot of robot vacuums, but it’s these three brands that have continued to hit the spot as far as I’m concerned.
Bosch Series 6 Air Fryer review: fast, affordable and versatile
Bosch Series 6 Air Fryer . T3’s Bosch Series 6 Air Fryer review in a sentence: Versatile touchscreen air fryer with a host of pre-set programmes and a bargain price. I’ll admit, Bosch’s arrival at the air fryer party is rather belated, but I’m always keen to see another brand have a stab at reimagining the idea. Air fryers have been with us for a number of years now, and the options are seemingly unlimited.
Beldray Airfinity Cordless Vacuum Cleaner review: this cable-free cleaner packs a punch
Beldray Airfinity Cordless Vacuum. T3's Beldray Airfinity Cordless Vacuum review in a sentence: Punchy cable-free cleaner warrants a look if you’re after solid suction on a budget. The Beldray brand might not pack the same cool appeal as, say, something from the best Dyson cordless vacuum cleaners collection, but it’s definitely big on value. While it might be reasonable to expect a compromise on performance as a result, the new Beldray Airfinity Cordless Vacuum is a great home cleaner.
Dash cams overwrite the oldest footage to make room for new recordings – here's how you can preserve crucial clips
Vantrue E360 dash cam on a car windscreen. Does dash cam footage get deleted? This is a question I get asked from time to time, seeing as I review a lot of the best dash cams. It’s not an unreasonable query – recording incidents when you’re behind the wheel is what a dash cam is designed to do, and the last thing you want is to lose any crucial clips. The simple answer to the question is yes, and for good reason. Dash cam memory cards get full, and quickly too if you're a frequent traveller.

I hardwired my dash cam and it’s unlocked so many new features – here are 3 reasons why you should too
70mai 360 Omni 4K Dash Cam . Should I hardwire my dash cam? That was something I never even thought about when I installed my first model a number of years ago. Back then, the most popular way of powering a dash cam was to plug it into a 12V power port, which was a standard feature in most vehicles. Even now, I still use a 12V power source if it’s available when I'm testing dash cams. The great thing about this plug and play route is that I’m not stuck with the dash cam fitted to one vehicle.
I’ve reviewed over 15 dash cams this last year, and Viofo’s A329 is the best of the bunch – here’s why
Viofo A329 dash cam secured to a windscreen, seen from the inside of the vehicle. After working my way through all the best dash cam models released this year, I’d say there’s never been a better time to buy one. Prices are super competitive and, thanks to plenty of deals, are sinking even lower.

Shark VacMop review: a brilliant hard floor cleaner
Shark VacMop. T3’s Shark VacMop review in a sentence: A slick hard floor cleaner that works brilliantly but relies on disposable floor pads and Shark cleaning fluid to get the job done. Much as I like the convenience of having hard floors, they can be a magnet for dust, fluff and dirt, all of which is less easy to spot with carpet. However, having a hard floor is also a necessity in some locations, like the kitchen or utility room.

Does a dash cam drain battery? Here’s what you need to know, according to experts
It's a common fear for most folks who are buying a dash cam for the first time and one of the questions I get asked the most, "will using a dash cam drain my battery?" The short answer, is that it all depends. Many models plug into a 12V power port inside the car. If you buy one like that and unplug it every time the car is parked up, then there is zero chance the battery can go flat – after all there’s no connection to the car’s own electrics.

Does having a dash cam really lower your insurance premium or is it just an urban myth? We asked leading insurers
Nextbase 522GW Dashcam. Auto insurance is a necessity for us all, and it rarely comes down in price. In fact, insurance premiums are currently higher than ever and, ironically, are in part being pushed up by some who choose not to have any insurance at all. So, anything to help lower insurance has got to be a good idea, right? One way to shave a bit off the annual or monthly bill might be to invest in a dash cam. I recently tried that when my cover came up for renewal.
