Capsule Dishwasher Review

We’ve all been there, the mountain of plates after dinner, staring back at you like some kind of ceramic Everest. Sure, full-size dishwashers exist, but what if you don’t have the space? Or you’re renting, travelling, or simply hate the idea of installing yet another appliance? Enter The Capsule, the new countertop dishwasher from Loch Electronics. It promises to take the pain out of dish duty while sipping water (just 2.6 litres on a quick wash!) and even sprinkles in some sci-fi flair with UV light drying (perhaps useful for sterilising gamepads?). It doesn’t need plumbing; instead, it runs on two external tanks, one for clean water and one for waste. This makes it great to have within a flat or even a camper van. More Time for Life, Less Scrubbing! It sounds like the ultimate “lazy...

Thrustmaster T248R Steering Wheel Review

Sorry for the delay on this one; having been out since September, we've been busy racing. The Thrustmaster T248R has graced our desk, and like the review for the Thrustmaster T598 here, we were excited! Now I hear what you are saying. Oh, the T248 has been out for some time, 2021 to be precise. This new model is an update to the already popular steering wheel for both the PlayStation and PC. Retailing at £249.99 this is a great option for those who are looking to get into Sim Racing. Same Name, New Face With a few nice new buzzwords when it comes to the features, the Thrustmaster T248R is a great new addition to a popular range. The wheels available in the £250-300 range are some great units, with a lot of different positives. So without further ado, let's get strapped in so we can buckl...

Razer Phantom White Review – Part 01, Well 02 Really

On the back of our recent review of the Razer Barracuda X Chroma in Phantom White here. We have also been checking out the Razer Firefly V2 Pro and the Razer Basilisk V3 Pro 35K, both in Phantom White. Retailing at £109.99 and £169.99 respectively, these are not cheap upgrades, and because they look incredible together, we are going to review them together. The Glow Just Gets Better Although these are available in other colours, the Phantom White just shouts nostalgia from the rooftops. So I couldn't be happier when we received them in the post. Let's find out whether or not your hard-earned money should be used on getting a hold of this hardware. Razer Firefly V2 Pro Probably my favourite of the two products we are going to look at today. This large, fully illuminated mouse pad is...

Majority Pulse 1 Portable Speaker

The Pulse 1 is a portable party speaker from Majority. It's the smallest of the Pulse range at half the size of the other 4 speakers currently available. This speaker retails at around £99.99 in the UK, although at the time of writing, Currys are offering it for just £69.99. Despite its smaller stature, is the Pulse 1 still a great option for parties? Let's find out. Disco On The Go Design Standing at just over 32cm tall and 24cm wide and deep, the Pulse 1 is a short and stocky speaker. It's not overly large as to impact portability and weighs just over 3kg. During my time with it, I've found it very easy to pick up and carry, thanks to the built in handle, which gives generous clearance even for larger hands. The top of the speaker features a control panel for adjusting the vol...

Made brilliantly by the crazy minds at AMVR, the GA1 Force Feedback Best Golf Club for Quest 3 / 3S aims to further immerse you in your favourite golf game. Does it do a good job?

It's All In The Hips Priced up towards the £100 mark, this is an accessory for the purist. Those who have many rounds under their belts, or those looking to practice in the rainy season.

Razer Barracuda X Chroma Phantom White Headset Review

It's another week, and it feels like a regular occurrence when a Razer review comes to town. This time we are looking at the Razer Barracuda X Chroma Phantom White headset. The Barracuda line has been around for quite a while, but back in 2022 the whole range got a revamp. Numerous other Barracuda headsets were released, but recently the Phantom White Suite dropped. Being touted as a headset resulting from feedback from the community, it had high hopes. Bringing wireless audio and dynamic illumination into one seemingly cohesive entity. Has Razer hit another highlight in the headset market? Lightweight Comfort and Durability Razer products are both loved and hated in the industry. I have always loved the Razer lineup, especially their headsets. Whilst for audio purists they may not have ...
