Most of the same stuff as other top-end watches, including continuous heart rhythm checking and ECG testing that most mid-range models…

LTE (i.e. phone-free cellular connection) is a nice enough idea, especially for runners and such where carrying a phone is a pain, but be…

They suck me in every EOFY and I'm running out of people to gift my spares to, but they do make great little keyring torches that have paid…

If you're needing battery powered because you don't have a neutral wire going to your existing switches, look at the Sonoff ZBMINI-L (…

I'm typing this on one of these, and it's the second one I've owned, after spilling soy sauce over the first one. Nicely clicky feel and…

Fiiiibaro! Fibaro fibaro Fiiiiibaro!

That's hopeful! It's native 480p with some smart upscaling. https://www.gadgetreview.com/elephas-mini-portable-projector-review

Worth mentioning that Woollies Mobile SIM plans are pretty good and, being on the Telstra network, should work fine with this. For me, the…

Makes sense. I drink it with cold water from the fridge chilled dispenser and it stays mostly in suspension. I tried a small amount of hot…

4 x OR or 5 x tenders for $6.95 in Perth.

Bought two, one was great, the other had a distinct rattle. The advantage of buying from Aldi is that we took the rattler back and swapped…

You do have to wonder at the person who wrote that sign and misspelled a four letter word that was RIGHT THERE on the product!

I bought one for a specific job, reasoning that I could afford to write off $80 it was wasn't fit for purpose. I was pleasantly surprised…

I saw "smartwatch" and "pebble" and my heart soared. Alas, just a colour... Sigh.

I hope to find a couple to replace old phones doing duty around the place as nntp-accurate clocks and smart security cameras. The old ones…

We used something very similar to ummm get our feet wet with kayaking before eventually buying some rigid ones. Quite usable, but do think…

FWIW, this is a slightly lower price than our local (WA) "cheapie shop" which is usually a lot cheaper than supermarkets, etc. They have…

Seconded. Well, at least as far as standard snags go; the fancier wursts etc. are variable from any outlet.

The main use I've found for a similar light I seem to've bought years ago is as a safe load to discharge USB batteries to check their…

I bought the lifetime offer from these guys some time ago (actually a 99 year licence, but who's quibbling...) OK for some privacy…

These look good, at first glance. Too many cat foods have grain or other veggies in them, and cats are carnivores, not omnivores like…

I have a pair of these and love them. The noise cancelling is almost _too_ good at times, but appreciated in noisy environments. Bass is…

You can toggle through the temperature in 10C increments using a touch switch, next to the power touch switch.

I have one and like it. It's a perfectly functional kettle, even if you don't use the smarts. I haven't used the temperature settings (but…

I bought an early no-name version of this a year or so ago, thinking that it'd be great to take a Mini to the table in the garden. However,…

Just be aware that none of the active ingredients are especially effective against viruses. If you're trying to ensure that surfaces are…

I've been using these for a year or so and have been quite happy with them (original firmware.) Then two of them just bricked themselves…

If you like these, look at the Kogan own-brand version. 4 pack for $79. I have a few and they work well, both as switches and power…

Direct wifi connection, and controllable from anywhere on the Internet (including North Korean hackers, but that's another story!) They…

I've got a similar one and it's great for calm river paddling, but not really suitable for ocean paddling (unless you like swimming!) You…
