  Review: Anchor charging cable (productReview)
  that one charging cable, haven’t we? That one that needs to be held in a specific way to work. Or the one you’ve pulled out of the wall - accidentally or otherwise - by the lead that now needs a little wiggle to get it started. And doesn’t always get through an entire charge

  Review: Mio MiVue C330 dash cam (productReview)
  . What is it like? The C330’s box is so full of accessories - the charging lead, windscreen mount and manual - that the tiny dash cam itself is almost hidden. One you've read the instructions - if you’re that way inclined - installing the camera is easy. Just plug it into your

  Review: Coleman Twist+ 300 lantern (productReview)
  .  The Coleman Twist+ 300 will recharge two electronic devices simultaneously, with a full size and micro USB socket situated at the top of the unit. When not in use, the lantern can be charged via a USB lead, which means you can recharge or top up the battery on car journeys. When fully charged, the leads can

  Review: Aukey PB-C13 18000mAh jump starter pack (productReview)
  . The price for that useful functionality is quite high at more than £100 RRP. However, if you shop around online, you can usually get hold of one for nearer £70 but, even then, it’s a fair bit more expensive than the traditional, huge, lead-acid battery powered jump packs. What’s it like

  and £25, so on the pricier end of the scale. But with a built-in lead and pocket-friendly dimensions, it’s worth the slight premium for convenience. As an additional note (even though we promised no more compatibility talk), the socket that’s used to charge

  Review: Nextbase 222 dash camera (productReview)
  of them failing - something which we experienced ourselves. Fortunately, this new mount is far better. In the box is both an adhesive mount and a suction cup type, the latter of which we prefer. The power lead goes into the mount rather than the camera itself, which is much tidier, while the mount

  Review: Wahoo TICKR Fit heart rate monitor (productReview)
  with a 30 hour operation from a single charge and we have no reason to doubt this claim, given its performance during our test. However, when it comes to recharging, we found it to be quite fiddly. Unlike some other heart rate monitors, you can't simply attach a USB lead. Instead the TICKR Fit has

  Review: Mio MiVue 766 WiFi dash cam (productReview)
  the unit without having to study the user manual in any great detail. The camera is compact too - 88 x 32 x 52mm - and this means it doesn't take up much space on the windscreen. On the downside, you don’t get much in the box. Essentials like a memory card and USB lead are sadly missing, which means

  Review: Dyson V6 cordless vacuum (productReview)
  at a considerable price. You do get a sense of why it cost so much with class leading suction and a simple but easy to use range of click on accessories. The battery life is short, but we found 20 minutes to be more than enough for an in-depth clean of a car. The wall-mounted charging station is also a neat feature

  Review: RAC in-car harness and seat belt connector (productReview)
  to attach a lead so the harness can be used for walking your dog as well. There's bright orange high viz on the harness for safety when walking to and from the car as well. The seat belt connector is straight forward; one end connects to the harness and the other clicks into the seat belt of your car

  Review: Hiplok Z-Lok (productReview)

  Review: Ring RBGDC200 dash camera (productReview)
  of sight and hide away, while the camera is discreet enough to fit behind the rear-view mirror. That said, the power lead itself has an old fashioned DC connection at the camera end, instead of the usual Mini- or Micro-USB connector. That means finding a hard-wire kit is difficult. Once installed

  interesting or important clips, is quite small so might be fiddly when on the move. The quick release system means you can leave the suction mount in place in the screen, hooked up to the power lead. When you leave the car the body of the camera can be removed, then slotted back in place when you want
• Review: Nextbase 322GW dash cam (productReview)
  . But with the Series 2 range, Nextbase has addressed this with a new mount which is excellent. The power lead goes to the mount rather than the dash cam and with one ball type adjustor, it's easy to get the camera in the right place without having to adjust various tighteners. The clever bit is the magnetic

  Husqvarna Aspire H50-P4A hedge trimmer (productReview)
  What is it? Corded electric hedge trimmers can be a right faff to use, especially if your hedging is a good distance from a power socket. Not only that, but as you try and manoeuvre the trimmer there's always a risk you could snag the lead and kill the trimmer dead
