Nerdwax Review
Nerdwax Review Nerdwax, yep I hadn’t heard about it either. It was a big hit over the pond, and I really wanted to get it in the office to give it a go. The general idea is that if your glasses keep falling down, you pop a bit of nerdwax onto the nose of your glasses, and then it stays! This was one of those products, which I didn’t think I needed until I got it in the office. When I t...[Read More]

American Originals Pizza Maker Review
American Originals Pizza Maker Review I am a sucker for a takeaway pizza, but as always I love a kitchen gadget. So when I saw the Pizza Maker from American Originals I knew I had to give it a go. The hot red colour, and ability make pizzas, cook burgers and kebabs, was all the persuading I needed. Setup was easy, give it a quick rinse and then plug it in. The dial on the front controls the temper...[Read More]
Review: Bestek’s flex lamp with USB charger
Bestek, the online retailer of electronic goods, has recently sent me a lamp for review. On the whole, I like the lamp and I’m glad to have gotten to use it. It’s more flexible than a similar one that I own, but it does have its flaws. So, let’s see how the last several days have gone for me. The appearance of the lamp is nice, but not without a cost. It’s almost com...[Read More]

Review: TEC.BEAN 4K Action Cam
This action camera from TEC.BEAN is one of the many clones of the market leading GoPro products. For me this is no bad thing since the GoPro design has dominated for good reason but they tend to be too expensive for casual users. On opening the box I was a bit overwhelmed by all the accessories inside. Along with a spare battery you get just about every attachment imaginable – cable ties, ve...[Read More]

The whole thing is self cleaning, comes with a case and stand. It also wins an award for the best looking shaver I have ever used. The look of the Series 9 is the first thing people will notice...[Read More]
