A Peloton without the price tag? I've completed dozens of rides on the Zwift Ride & Wahoo KICKR CORE indoor bike combo, and it's great

Image
Zwift Ride with KICKR CORE: One minute review The Zwift Ride with KICKR CORE is a complete cycling setup comprising a Zwift Ride smart frame and a Wahoo KICKR CORE trainer. The combined unit is an easy-to-set-up solution for indoor training that doesn't require mounting a traditional outdoor bike. It's a single tine at the front instead of a bike's usual fork and a rear wheel, designed to lock straight into the KICKR turbo trainer. Assembly is as simple as opening a few boxes, securing a few bolts in place, finding a place to locate it, and you're away. Offering integrated handlebar controllers, a console-like gaming experience, and a system that is compact and quiet, the Zwift ride is a great piece of kit, especially given the price. As for build quality, the chassis is made of heavy-duty powder-coated steel, which is solid and dependable, albeit a little utilitarian. What sets the KICKR CORE apart from much of the competition is the single-sprocket Zwift Cog that ...

Mammotion LUBA 3 AWD 3000 robot lawn mower — autonomous mowing just got exponentially better for owners of larger landscapes

Image
Mammotion LUBA 3 AWD 3000: two-minute review If you’re in the market for a sterling autonomous plug-and-play robot lawn mower with a wider cutting tract than most, the new Mammotion LUBA 3 AWD 3000 comes wholeheartedly recommended. Available in three different battery capacities, this particular model is designed for large, complex lawns with shaded areas, lumpy terrain and very steep gradients, though it is equally at home on even the most standardised of suburban and rural lawns. However, it would most definitely be considered overkill if used on a small-to-medium urban lawn. Like its highly-regarded stablemate, the LUBA 2 , the new LUBA 3 AWD 3000 requires no boundary wires and no degree in IT to set it up – simply install its charging base, log on to the Mammotion app and it will map the boundaries of your lawn automatically or, if you prefer, manually by steering the robot around your lawn’s permitter like an RC car. A big upgrade from its stablemate, this new model is now equ...

I tested the Tower Elite 11-Liter Flexi Drawer Air Fryer — it’s the best bang-for-buck large-capacity air fryer around

Image
Tower Elite 11-Liter Flexi Drawer Air Fryer: 30-second review The Tower Elite 11-Liter Flexi Drawer Air Fryer offers up a huge cooking capacity at a price which undercuts pretty much any other serious contender on the market. If you’re looking for capacity and flexibility bang-for-your-buck, look no further. Is this the best air fryer out there? Not exactly, but for families on a budget it’s hard not to recommend Tower’s large basket machine. Not only can you cook a whole chicken or pizza in this air fryer, it also comes with a handy divider transforming the single drawer into a dual-basket offering, allowing you to cook separate foods, at different temperatures, for different durations, simultaneously — and it works much better than I expected. It does have a few key competitors including the premium Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer (with a 10.4L basket), and the almost equally affordable Philips 1000 Series Dual Basket Air Fryer (that only has a 7.1L basket), but with the Tower being t...

Something Very Bad is Going to Happen review — this binge-worthy Netflix horror series takes wedding jitters to the extreme

Image
Something Very Bad is Going to Happen had me at hello. With an ominous title like that, how could I resist diving straight in and binge-watching the new Netflix show? While it's a great title, it also basically gives away the plot, which means that when the titular bad thing does happen, it better be worth it. Trust me, it is. I love a slow burn and have long been drawn to some of the best horror movies like Hereditary and Midsommar , which build to an awful yet satisfying conclusion. People looking for a fast pace and loads of scares will be disappointed with Something Very Bad is Going to Happen , but for those who like to be pumped full of lingering dread, this should be a blast. The Netflix series follows Rachel Harkin (Camila Morrone) and Nicky Cunningham (Adam DiMarco), who are getting married in five days. In the build-up to the big day, the couple is traveling to Summer House, the ancestral home of Nicky's family, for gatherings and celebrations ahead of time. ...
