Our latest product reviews
HumidifiersAfter two days in the office, we found the Levoit NeoClassic 350 very quiet and very easy to clean by hand. Our early hands-on review covers everyday usability.
Robot vacuumsEcovacs' mid-range Deebot T90 Pro Omni pairs a claimed 30,000 Pa of suction with the OZMO Roller 3.0 mop and a full Omni dock, and its turret-free 9.4 cm body slides under furniture that stops taller rivals.
Robot vacuumsThe iRobot Roomba Plus 415 Combo cleans hard floors, edges and rugs far better than its mid-range class suggests, but sensor-only navigation misses cables and small objects, and the upkeep stays stubbornly hands-on.
The Canon PIXMA TS6550i is a compact three-in-one inkjet that prints quickly and handles photos well, but its combined colour cartridge and running costs are the trade-off for the low entry point.
Buying advice
Practical buying advice, explainers and product recommendations
Buying GuideThe most important earbud specification is the case, not the buds — per-charge figures run as low as 2.5 hours, and the fifteen-minute recharge test separates models more than peak runtime does. From a 112-pair tested field, with the occlusion effect explained.
Buying GuideWatt figures tell you almost nothing about how loud a party speaker goes — the number and size of the woofers do. From a tested field of 21 party boxes: the honest downside of party tuning, why bass ports let water in, and the heaviest model that is not mobile at all.
Buying GuideThe spec that decides how your phone ages is RAM: 12 GB is now the floor for on-device AI. Six picks from a full field — the S26 Ultra with its S-Pen and privacy screen, the 7,300 mAh OnePlus 15, the ZEISS-equipped Vivo X300 Pro and the compact iPhone 17 Pro.
Buying GuideA phone beats a compact camera in good light and loses badly once it fades. From a 24-model tested field, three cameras worth the carry — and the model-name traps, including a Ricoh variant that cannot shoot in colour.
Buying GuideThe best robot vacuum-mops of 2026, from a tested field of eight. The DJI Romo P leads on navigation and app polish, the Mova V50 Ultra Complete is the value flagship, and Roborock and Dreame follow close behind for suction and mopping.
Buying GuideEight televisions picked from a field of 57: the LG OLED 55G6 wins outright, the TCL 65C7K is the budget choice, the Sony Bravia 9 II is the brightest LCD at nearly 4,000 cd/m², and the Philips 65OLED959 adds Ambilight and a 5.1.2 sound system — plus how much peak brightness is actually useful.
