Canon PIXMA TS6550i Review: Compact 3-in-1 Inkjet
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.
Best Fillet Knives 2026: 11 Models Compared
Eleven fillet knives compared on blade length, flexibility, cutting control, handle grip, build and accessories, with the Marttiini Superflex 19 cm finishing first overall.
Samsung Galaxy A27 Review: Mid-Range 5G Smartphone
Samsung swaps Exynos for Snapdragon and keeps its six-year update promise, but the Galaxy A27 also gives up ingress protection and ultra-wide resolution, and still charges at 25 W.
reMarkable Paper Pure Review: A Notebook, Not a Tablet
The reMarkable Paper Pure is a 10.3-inch E Ink writing device that deliberately avoids being a tablet, with an excellent writing feel and a distraction-free operating system.
Aiper Scuba V3 Review
A cordless in-ground pool robot that pairs an underwater camera with adaptive scheduling, rated by its maker for basins of up to 150 square metres. Firm suction and tidy waterline work are held back by a small debris bin and an oddly ordered filter stack.
Nubia Air Pro Review
ZTE's ultra-thin Nubia Air Pro is 5.99 mm thick and 172 g, with a 6.77in AMOLED and an unusually high screen-to-body ratio. Weak endurance, a short update window and an interface crowded with AI features undercut that promising start.
Aiper IrriSense 2 Review
A mains-powered smart sprinkler with a 360-degree head, app-drawn watering zones and a rain sensor, held back by its cabling, its bulk and its dependence on household water pressure.
Honor Pad X9 Max Review: A 13-Inch Tablet Made for Watching
A 13-inch metal-bodied Android tablet with a bright 120 Hz IMAX Enhanced display, four speakers and a large battery, held back by an entry-level processor and dated wireless standards.
Nacon RevoSim RS Pure Review
Nacon's first direct-drive racing bundle pairs an aluminium base with load-cell pedals, a quick-release rim and a deep accessory ecosystem. Force feedback is powerful but nuanced and the pedals excel; soft paddles, fiddly profiles and PC-only compatibility are the caveats.
Xiaomi Sound Play Review
A compact upright Bluetooth speaker built around an infinity-mirror light show, with IP68 protection, Auracast support and 18 W of amplification, but no app and no wired input.
Weber Spirit EPX-435R Review
A large four-burner connected gas barbecue with a Sear Zone, side burner, supplied rotisserie and a Weber Connect module that turns a probe and a recipe catalogue into a genuine cooking assistant.
Trek Checkpoint+ SL 6 AXS Review
A carbon-framed electric gravel bike weighing 13.81 kg, combining a near-silent TQ-HPR60 motor, a wireless SRAM Eagle AXS transmission and enough mounts to be loaded up for bikepacking.
