At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Rotisserie accessories Efficient cooking Companion app Cons App is confusing and sometimes slow Design isn’t premium The unit is enormous Our Verdict Although it has a whopping 15-litre capacity, rotisserie capability and smart features to recommend it, the Proscenic T31’s huge size means that most people just won’t have the space for it. If you’re looking for an alternative to an inbuilt oven, however, this could be for you....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict A small but remarkably powerful NAS box with buckets of functionality, scalability and value that demonstrates well how seriously QNAP now takes its NAS product range.

Qualcomm has introduced the Snapdragon 765 and 765G at its Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii. They are two mobile platforms less powerful than the 865, but just as interesting and important for the industry. If you buy an Android smartphone next year, there’s a high chance it could have the Snapdragon 765 inside it. Part of Qualcomm’s big, bold push into 5G, the 765 and 765G come with an integrated 5G modem meaning every phone with the new chips will be 5G ready....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Realme 6 Pro offers flagship-level specs like a 90Hz display and a smattering of cameras across the front and rear on a budget, but with an £80 difference between it and the standard model, Realme’s biggest competition is itself. Best Prices Today: Realme 6 Pro Realme, while relatively unknown in the UK, is making waves on the smartphone scene, offering flagship-level features at a fraction of the cost....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Ring Video Doorbell 2 does a great job. It does require a monthly subscription for storing videos but it’s more affordable than most, and it works out quite a bit cheaper than the Nest Hello overall. Best Prices Today: Ring Video Doorbell 2 The original Ring Video Doorbell proved extremely popular, providing you with an easy way to see who is at the door – even if you aren’t at home....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Cleans well Accesses (almost) everywhere Self-cleaning Cons Small, opaque water tanks No stand-alone vacuum cleaner function Expensive Our Verdict The Roborock Flexi Pro is a combined vacuum cleaner and mop that cleans like a charm. It’s easy to use and you can get (almost) everywhere with it. As a complement to a regular vacuum cleaner or a robot vacuum cleaner, it works well, but it comes with a pretty hefty price tag....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The design of the Roccat Khan Pro alone is enough reason to buy it. It’s lightweight and sports angled earcups that are incredibly comfortable. But of course, it’s the audio quality that makes the Roccat Khan Pro stand out; offering Hi-Res Audio support, the audio is bright, rich and crisp with booming bass. Not bad for a sub-£100/$100 headset, right? Best Prices Today: Roccat Khan Pro Though Roccat isn’t a particularly well-known brand in the UK, the German company produces a range of gaming peripherals, from keyboards to mice and, of course, headsets....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Efficient Good for people with allergies Cons Noisy Pricey Our Verdict This add-on is a good product for people who suffer from a sensitivity to dust. For the rest of us, it’s probably a purchase too far. Best Prices Today: Samsung Clean Station The Clean Station is a corded vacuum bin that’s compatible with vacuum cleaners in Samsung’s Jet range. It adds the benefit of using bags to a bagless vacuum cleaner system – namely, it prevents dust escaping when you empty the cleaner’s dustbin....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Excellent 120Hz screen Good cameras IP67 water resistance Long software updates Cons Fingerprint reader not the best No charger supplied Slow charging Our Verdict The Galaxy A34 is a great alternative to an S23 if you’re on a budget and ticks a lot of boxes. Battery life is good, so if you can live without really fast charging (and a charger at all) it’s good value, and arguably better value than the Galaxy A54....

Samsung’s Galaxy A-series phones have been consistent favourites, providing users with an affordable yet feature-rich alternative to flagship phones . That looks set to be true once again in 2025, with the Galaxy A16 having been joined by A56 , A26 and A36 .

At a Glance Our Verdict Unless you really want the bigger screen, we can’t see why you would pay £80 extra for the Galaxy S6 Edge+ when it has half the storage of the regular Edge and no IR blaster. More memory and a slightly bigger battery isn’t enough to convince us. Best Prices Today: Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ As per the rumour mill, Samsung has announced a larger version of its curved screen smartphone and it’s the main new device for the UK with no Galaxy Note 5 launch....

Fortunately, we’ve taken out the hassle of searching through the entire library and rounded up our top recommendations of TV shows....

Having a clean oven is essential, or sooner or later, you’ll trigger your smoke alarm with clouds from burnt-on food – as well as ruining what you’re cooking. But cleaning the oven is the one of the most-loathed household chores. And the longer you leave it, the more likely you are to have to resort to the sort of harsh cleaning products that you don’t want to be breathing in....

At a glance Expert’s Rating Pros Great audio Trueplay now on Android too Bluetooth option Cons Line-in & Ethernet require expensive dongles No Google Assistant support Our Verdict The Era 100 is a tentative step forward for Sonos. Excellent sound quality and the addition of Bluetooth are marred by the decision to drop Ethernet in favour of an expensive dongle, and losing Google Assistant makes this speaker a little less smart than many rivals....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Pros Compact and comfortable Incredible sound Almost endless smart features Cons Expensive Our Verdict They might be at the premium end of the wireless earbud market in terms of price but the Sony WF-1000XM4 really do offer the most premium experience with astonishingly good sound and countless features.

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict Sony has almost nailed it with the WF-1000X. These wireless earbuds are small, light and comfortable while offering excellent sound quality. They also have noise cancelling which you won’t find elsewhere. We only have minor quibbles such as occasional drop outs and a below par case design. You’ll only really need to go elsewhere, such as the Jabra Elite Sport, if you want fitness features rather than noise cancelling....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict The Xperia T3 is a good but not great smartphone which will only really suit a particular customer: those wanting a large screen smartphone without spending loads of cash. It delivers this but you should Consider the slightly smaller Nexus 5 for a little more money to gain better specs or even Sony’s own Xperia Z Ultra if 6.4in doesn’t sound too big....

At a Glance Our Verdict Considering that it is last year’s product, the iPad mini with Retina Display is hanging in there. We prefer the Sony, principally because it is more powerful, thinner and lighter, has a better camera and – glory be – it’s cheaper. But the iPad mini remains a stunning device, and for those that prefer Apple it won’t be a let down. Best Prices Today: iPad mini 2 Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact vs iPad Mini with Retina Display comparison: UK price & availability Sony has revealed that the Sony Xperia Z3 Tablet Compact will be launching this autumn with a price tag of £329 inc VAT....

At a Glance Expert’s Rating Our Verdict ‘Ultimate’ is undoubtedly the word. Just about everything that every Smash game has ever offered is here once again, with more characters, stages, modes, and hidden references than anyone will have the time to fully process. If Smash Bros. Ultimate has a fault, it’s the same as that strength: there’s just so much here that it’s impossible for anyone to take in, and in the early hours especially it’s an overwhelming experience, with little work done to guide new players in....
