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

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. ...

Amnezia VPN review - quick menu 1. Amnezia VPN Free 2. Amnezia VPN Premium 3. Privacy 4. Conclusion Amnezia VPN is an open-source VPN launched in 2020 that originated at Demhack, a hackathon run by Russian digital rights organization Roskomsvoboda. It was initially created as a tool to help users deploy their own VPN servers to bypass internet censorship . Over time, the project has expanded beyond its self-hosted roots into a broader VPN service with both managed and user-controlled options. Today, Amnezia offers products for different types of users. Amnezia Premium provides a subscription VPN with servers operated by the company, while Amnezia Free offers limited free connectivity for users in restricted internet environments . The platform also supports self-hosted deployments on personal cloud servers, plus Amnezia VPN Business for teams and Amnezia VPN Hosting , which simplifies server setup. For the scope of this review, I’ll be focusing solely on Amnezia Fr...

Anycubic Photon P1 3D printer review: A huge step up for the company, and while aspects are simplistic, I can't argue with the print quality

-
Image
The desktop resin printing market has seen machines across the board slowly developing with more product design and features that make dealing with the mess a little less troublesome. There’s also the natural progression of features such as higher resolution screens, slightly larger build volumes, and software improvements, most notably in support structures. Recently, most of the leading manufacturers have started to really focus on their resin offerings, which are commonly side-lined for the more popular and less messy filament options. Having tested the best 3D printers , I’ve seen huge leaps forward from Creality and Elegoo, and now Anycubic has released the Anycubic Photon P1, which visually appears to be a completely new machine. The Photon P1 is aimed at the higher-end enthusiast and as a budget machine in the pro market, and retails at present for a respectable $549 / £549. That pricing means that it is positioned slightly above the Photon Mono M7 Pro, which impressed me a c...

Bluetti Elite 300 portable power station review: A serious step-up in power

-
Image
I tested out the Bluetti Elite 300. It's a portable power station that can only be described as a serious step-up from the usual compact power units I've reviewed. Capable of 2,400W output, this is a 3,014Wh power station — the world's smallest 3KWh, according to Bluetti — although don't mistake that for being a lightweight device. Bluetti Elite 300: Pricing (Image credit: Bluetti // Future) In the US, the base unit is priced at $1099, and it's available direct from Bluetti , as well as online retailers like Amazon.com , while it's $1199 at Walmart . In the UK, it's priced at £1399 from Bluetti , as well as at Amazon.co.uk and B&Q . Upgrade bundles, such as getting the unit with additional batteries and solar chargers, are also available. Bluetti Elite 100: Design & size (Image credit: Bluetti // Future) From glovebox to garage If you’ve used something like the Bluetti Elite 30 V2 Portable Power Station, the Elite 300 feels...

I spent 3 weeks testing the Sonos Play, and I love it — and the sound isn’t even the most important thing

Sonos Play: two-minute review The Sonos Play is one of the few products I've tested recently that really converted me to its cause over time. It's a product that Sonos pitches as a home speaker that's also portable — the one speaker you can use everywhere. I started off thinking that the Sonos Play was struggling for value, because it's more expensive than Sonos' small purely home speaker, the Sonos Era 100 , but doesn't sound quite as good. And it costs a lot more than most of the best Bluetooth speaker options, such as the excellent JBL Charge 6 . But over time, I realized that the Sonos Play excels in subtlety. Despite Sonos' claim, I don't think of it as a home speaker first and a portable speaker second. I see it as a portable speaker that's good enough to justify a place out on your furniture all the time, rather than being relegated to a drawer when you're not using it. And as a result, I started using it as both a home speaker for th...
