Top performers in 2017 - consumer electronics awards
Here is the list with the top performing consumer electronics products in the outgoing year 2017
Today we are taking a look at some of the best products we've reviewed in 2017 - computers, TVs, smartphones, cars and other consumer electronics. Of course there might be better ones out there, that is why we rely on your opinion as well.
So, lets start with the list and the best entry level ultrabook for 2017:
Lenovo Thinkpad Ultrabook T460 - solid build quality but average performance
Lenovo Thinkpad T460 is a decent laptop for business purposes with long battery life, middle to very good performance depending on load and sturdy build. Maybe I would have recommended it if it wasn’t for the price – this Lenovo ultrabook should definitely not cost the US$1,200 it’s currently sold for.
Next, we will stop our attention on the best mid-range smartphone for 2017:
Samsung Galaxy J5 (2017) – the best mid-range smartphone
The Samsung J5 (2017) impresses with its sample and stylish design. Entirely made of metal (except for the screen of course) and offered in couple very nice colors it really stands out in the crowd. The fingerprint sensor and quality 13MP selfie-camera are just some of its features that you get for less than $350. In comparison, for the same price you can get a Honor 7 Lite which is worse in almost any aspect that we've taken into consideration.
It's time to rate our top choice for best LED TV to buy in 2017:
Sony Bravia KDL-40WD650
Sony Bravia KDL-40WD650 is the best 40 inch display we've reviewed in 2017. I think for a price of around 400 Euros the Sony Bravia 40WD650 does a great job. The 40 inch size is a good compromise for both watching TV or if using it for home cinema (for cinema only I prefer 43 inch TV sets, while for TV specifically I think the perfect size is 39 inch). Sony Bravia KDL-40WD650 is a great TV for the money. I’ve always preferred Sony for TV and cinema electronics and this 40 inch panel did not disappoint me. Probably our next TV will be a bit bigger (43 inch) and with 4K resolution but I think there will be some time before we move on with this 40WD650.
The next item we will award this year is the Teclast Tbook 10 Android tablet:
The best cheap 10 inch Android/Widnows tablet in 2017 - Teclast Tbook 10
ast Tbook 10 Android/Windows tablet[/caption]
The Teclast Tbook 10 impressed us with very powerful hardware, solid build quality and stylish design. The price was also good compared to its rivals.
Next is the best used vehicle we've tested in 2017
Opel Vectra C - the best second-hand purchase in 2017
The petrol Opel Vectra C we've tested earlier this year impressed with good product quality and very wide set of features and extras offered in this car. I would totally recommend the Vectra C as a second hand purchase. Just make sure to make your research and pick the right car for you. If I needed to buy one now I would avoid the 1.9 CDTI and the 2.2 direct engines due to expensive servicing. The 1.8 petrol engine is my strongest recommendation. Opel / Vauxhall Astra H is another car that we tested and liked in general.
So, these were the top performers in 2017 or at least we think so. Please feel free to share your opinion about these or your personal favorites.
Wish you happy and productive 2018!

Budget TV Christmas gifts from LG
Last minute Christmas gift ideas with LG!
Still looking for that tech gift for your loved ones for Christmas? Or maybe a new gadget at home for the holidays? Here are some ideas from the LG brand for budget TV options.
LG 37LH3000
This is a 37-inch black TV with full HD with an LCD 1080p screen. It is an older model from 2009 but that shouldn't worry you. The picture quality is good enough for its price. If you can find it online, the price is around USD 300, however many sites don't carry it anymore.
LG 32LJ510U
This 32-inch TV is a 2017 model and is available on Amazon and associated websites for around USD 300. It boosts a picture mastering engine and embedded surround sound system. At 32 inches, this may not be a great home cinema option, but it serves for those of you looking for a budget home TV. It features plug and play connectivity with multiple inputs for your devices. The picture quality is good.
LG 32LF550A
This 32-inch TV is currently available on the market for around 380 USD up to 400 USD. It features a10 W speaker output, 1366 x 768 HD Ready display with good picture quality. LG boosts that this model has a 300 Hz refresh rate for motion blur free picture and smoother movements in videos. We don't consider this characteristic to be true, it may be falsely inflated. However, the motions are good enough for a TV of that price range.

New TV for Christmas... great idea!
Getting new TV for Christmas sounds like a great idea this year
Why getting a new TV on Christmas sounds like a very good idea? Well, there are few very good reasons for that, here are couple of them:
Christmas Discounts
Discounts on Christmas are second to none. Retailers are rushing into giving bigger discounts on Christmas and clean up old and unsold merchandise left from the outgoing year. Black Friday 2017 generated many sales but there are goods left in stock and the best moment for clearing these is Christmas. That is the main reason why you can get an amazing TV deal on Christmas. In US stores like BestBuy usually give generous discounts but I would recommend you to check online as well. Big screen TVs are expensive so any additional discount would save you money.
Samsung UE50MU6120 50 inch 4K Ultra HD TV
Great Present for Christmas
You are out of Christmas present ideas? Why not buy a new LED TV, there are so many to choose from and almost everyone would like a new modern TV for Christmas. Kids would love it for sure but it is not only them who would appreciate a new fancy TV. You can also couple it with Xbox or PlayStation for full media experience.
Variety
There is an amazing variety of screens offered - curved, Full HD, Ultra HD, 4K, 3D, HDR.... and many more. That would ensure that you can pick a TV for any taste, no matter the size or the specs. I would recommend you getting non-curved 4k display between 39-50 inches depending on your needs. In regards to the brands I would suggest Sony, Samsung or LG if you are going for a premium purchase. If you are more of a budget oriented person then brands like Finlux and Hisense are the ones you should check.
Opel Vectra C - pros and cons
Main pros and cons of one of the most popular cars in Europe - Opel Vectra C (2002-2009)
For its seven years of production Opel Vectra C achieved good sales in Europe and some parts of Asia, turning into one of the favorite business and family vehicles for many consumers. I personally have owned two Vectra B cars and a Vectra C and I would say these are some great cars, inexpensive to run and service and pretty reliable for its price.
Buying used car - Opel Vectra C
Opel Vectra C is reliable and very cheap car to service - great second hand choice
 |
| Opel / Vauxhall Vectra C - top second hand choice |
Today at our consumer blog we will review one of the very popular on the used cars market vehicles - the Opel Vectra C (also known as Vauxhall Vectra in UK). For today's review I have chosen the 1.8 petrol engine version in a hatchback body style (known as GTS in its sportier variation which comes with lowered suspension).
Opel Vectra C is offered with various engines, including petrol and diesel in 4 and 6 cylinder block. Here are the ones that I know that I have feedback about:
What car to buy in 2018?
Petrol engines:
1.6 16V (102/105 hp) - the smallest of the petrol engines, really not fit for the 1350 kg heavy car, not enough power and the fuel consumption is good only at urban driving, on the highway it is as thirsty as a 3.2 V6. Vectra C with this engine variation was mostly used for company fleet vehicles.
1.8 16V (115/122 hp) - a bit better compared to the 1.6 engine, adequate performance and fuel consumption under mixed driving conditions, not many problems reported with it.
1.8 16V variable valve timing engine (140hp)
2.2i (147 hp) - powerful enough and pretty strong engine, mounted in the initial and the facelift versions of the car, mostly preferred when adding LPG to Vectra C
2.2 Direct (155 hp) - Direct-injection engine. For the first time direct-injection engine is mounted in Vectra so there are some flaws with it.
3.2 V6 (211 hp) - the sportiest of all, used for the OPC version as well. I personally wouldn't recommend it since the car becomes a bit nose-heavy and understeers a lot due to its weight and front-wheel driving.
 |
| My Vectra C hatchback has a very sleek profile and looks great in black |
Diesel engines
2.0 DTI (101 hp) - strong and reliable engine but not enough power. Very popular with its fuel economy.
2.2 DTI (125 hp) - powerful enough for Vectra C with decent fuel consumption
1.9 CDTI (101, 120 and 150 hp) - this engine was manufactured in cooperation with Italian car giant Fiat and was offered in three different versions with different power and performance specs. The 150 hp version is popular with great dynamics figures but reliability is not on the bright side.
3.0 CDTI V6 (177/184 hp) - engine delivered by Isuzu, with great dynamic and performance figures but expensive to run and service. This engine was mostly used for the Estate version of Vectra C as well as for the bigger Signum.
Buying a used car: Opel / Vauxhall Astra H
For these engines Opel used manual and automatic (regular tiptronic Japanese automatic gearbox or semi-robotic Easytronic) gearboxes that are pretty reliable under regular maintenance.
1.8 16V 140 hp petrol engine - the best choice for your Vectra C
It is a bit rear to find since this engine was planted in Vectra C only for couple of years. It is a variable valve timing engine with good performance and economy under mixed driving cycle. Under regular maintenance the 1.8 petrol engine proves to be hustle free experience.Vectra C - the good
- Cheap to buy second hand and cheap to run, lots of spares
- Good looks and styling - still looks fresh and modern after more than 10 years
- Roomy interior
- Variety of petrol and diesel engines for any taste
- Premium list of extras - climate control, ABS + EBD, ESP/Traction control, Cruise control,dynamic xenon, heated leather seats and interior, athermic windscreen and tinted windows, electrically operated windows, mirrors and seats, alarm system with interior sensors, parking sensors (front and rear), DVD/Navigation system with AUX and many others.
Vectra C - the bad
- Some reliability issues in certain versions (manufacturing plant in UK...)
- Noisy engines - petrol and diesel
- Unsettled independent suspension (bigger wheels and lowered suspension make this a bit better, on good surfaces only)
- Interior plastics
I hope you find the information about useful but feel free to comment in the section below in case you have questions about Vectra C, I will be more than happy to answer. Meanwhile, I will be happy to hear your opinion about this Opel or any other you have driven recently.

Ideal Christmas present for her - Remington Ilight Ultra
Remington Ilight Ultra - solution for laser hair removal at home
Looking for Christmas presents for your wife, girlfriend or just a special woman? I would recommend the new Remington Ilight Ultra for home laser hair removal. Laser hair removal machines for use at home are getting increasingly popular the past few years. As their popularity increases, the prices reduce. Laser hair removal is no longer something you can only afford at a salon for a huge price. Now there are machines for home use for a very good price. The Remington Ilight Ultra is at an affordable price and comes with a lifetime guarantee!
Remington Ilight Ultra is an FDA approved machine for laser hair removal. It's the first Remington machine cleared for facial hair removal. However, keep in mind that the machine is only suitable for women' facial hair. Remington does not recommend men to use it to remove beard.
Among IPL systems, the Remington Ilight Ultra is one of the most powerful, delivering 7 - 8 J / cm2 of light energy. The head of the machine is fairly large. This makes it suitable for use on the body as well on the face. If you're looking to remove hair from larger areas such as arms, legs, chest etc., this is the machine for you. It is cost effective and convenient to use.
Perfect gift for the special lady in your life – face and body skincare set
Pros:
- One of the strongest machines on the market
- FDA approved
- Capable to remove hair permenantly
- Suitable both for face and body
- Lifetime guarantee for cartridge
Cons:
- Results are a bit slow to see. It will take you 6 - 8 sessions to remove hair. This is typical for all IPL systems.
- Initial investment of USD 449 (current price at Amazon)
Overall verdict
This is one of the reasonably priced IPL machines on the market. It comes with a lifetime warranty of the cartridge. The IPL system is very strong - the strongest Remigton have made so far. We would definitely recommend it - it is a single investment which will serve you a long time!Thank you for checking this review. I will be more than happy to hear your comments about the Remington Ilight Ultra in the comment section below.

LG 49SJ800V TV[/caption]Sharp and elegant design of the LG 49SJ800V
Design and features
As soon as you take it out of the box you can see that this is no standard run-of-the-mill TV. LG have done their best to show that this TV is worth every cent of its over 800 USD price. The thin and elegant screen and the barely visible silver bezel show exactly that. The LG 49SJ800V comes with an elegant middle screen stand slightly reminding us of Samsung models. It can be wall-mounted too.
Samsung UN55KS800 55-inch 4K UHD Smart LED TV
Smart TV comes without asking here too. LG has used their latest Web OS 3.5 for an effortless lag-free experience. Connectivity is not an issue with this TV as you get 4 HDMI ports and 3 USB ports. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi also included. LG 49SJ800V can receive almost any type of signal including satellite signals so you don’t need to buy an external tuner.
Picture and sound quality
As described by LG: "Genuine LED innovation. IPS 4K Nano Cell technology allows for consistent pixel placement one nanometre apart, creating uniform colour volume and outstanding picture quality, even at off centre angles". Nano Cell technology featured in the LG 49SJ800V is a breakthrough technolgy, which promises a lot, but also delivers. You can check LG's own stand on the topic here: Nano Cell behind the scenes.
The key points here with Nano Cell are: colour accuracy and viewing angle. Although this is not OLED, the LG 49SJ800V with help of Nano Cell deliveres great accurate vibrant colours, deep blacks and perfect whites. The viewing angle is so much bigger than that of a normal TV that you will not be able to look at your old TV the same. I can honestly say that here at TestProductReview we were impressed.
Samsung UE50MU6102 review
With such great picture, it's only natural that they'll use good sound too. Well, this is right. LG have used Harman Kardon speakers in the LG 49SJ800V. Its built-in audio is designed and engineered to deliver rich, full-range sound through its two integrated speakers.
Final verdict
The LG 49SJ800V delivers rich and vibrant picture and you'll love its features. The price corresponds the quality you get. You can find it currently around 800 - 1000 USD depending on the seller. However, we say that this is a good deal and this TV's perfect picture is worth every cent!
IDEA XJ-3800-1 / Surround Air Intelli-Pro XJ-3800 7-in-1 IntelligentAir Purifier
IDEA XJ-3800-1 / Surround Air Intelli-Pro XJ-3800 7-in-1 Intelligent Air Purifier with Sensors that Monitor Air Quality, Pollutant Types and Performance
So, how I bought our IDEA XJ-3800-1? Some times ago I decided that we need an air purifier since the city we live is famous with its dirty air. Even though the decision was made I did not purchase one because most of the air purifiers I liked were really expensive - $300 and above.
Cheaper than the competition
IDEA XJ-3800-1 which is almost equivalent to the air purifier offered at Amazon - Surround Air Intelli-Pro XJ-3800 is really much cheaper than the popular equivalents offered by Philips, Rowenta and co.I found mine on this year's Black Friday at a local store for just a $100 which is an amazing deal considering the fact that most online tech shops offer it at $140-160.
My first impressions with the IDEA XJ-3800-1 were quite positive, even though the product does not look premium. The operation is quiet on the lower setting and there is also night/silent mode as well. What I liked most is the fact that this air purifier has an auto mode which makes it simple to operate with it.
Specifications
- Advanced diagnostics that monitor pollution levels, types of pollutants detected, filter performance and filter life
- Cleans the air in 7 ways, an air-cleaning technology for virtually every airborne indoor pollutant
- True HEPA air filter, combined with ionizer, to capture dust &allergens such as pollen, ragweed, dust mites & mold spores
- Includes activated carbon filter for chemicals and odors and germ-killing UV lamp
- Washable electrostatic dust collector cell adds yet another proven air-purifying technology
Monitors pollution levels, pollutant types and filter performance
No more guessing how clean or dirty your air really is
The Clean Air Monitor tells you whether the air in your home or office is clean, filthy, or somewhere in between. There are four indicator lights representing each category of air quality (from left to right): Clean, Some Pollution, Significant Pollution, Severe Pollution.
Know exactly what you are breathing in
The Clean Air Monitor doesn't just tell you 'how much', but it also lets you know 'what'. The lower indicator strip shows the type of pollutant being detected by the sensors, whether it be dust, allergens or odor-causing compounds.
The right amount of power for the right amount of pollutants
When set to Auto Mode, the IDEA XJ-3800-1 / Intelli-Pro XJ-3800 will automatically adjust settings according to the level of pollution being detected. For instance, if severe pollution levels are detected, it will ramp the unit up to the highest power setting, protecting you from contaminated air. If no pollution is detected, it will lower itself to Quiet mode, minimizing both sound and electricity usage.
7 proven air-cleaning stages for virtually every pollutant type
Captures Dust, Allergens, Mold Spores and other Particulate
True HEPA is the most effective type of filter at capturing dust, allergens and other physical particles.
Electrostatic Dust Collector Grid magnetically attracts particles and pollutants to metal plates. This adds another level of dust and allergen protection. Simply wipe clean when dirty--no replacement required.
Pre-Filter removes larger debris, increasing the effectiveness of the high-efficiency filters downstream.
Neutralizes Odors, Chemicals, Bacteria & Cigarette Smoke
Activated Carbon is the most effective filtration type against chemicals and odors.
Photocatalytic Filter takes care of VOC's and bacteria. Photocatalytic filtration has proven to be effective in multiple studies by the U.S. Dept. of Energy.
Produces Negative Ions, which help neutralize dust, allergens, chemicals and bacteria. Negative ions have proven to be both safe and effective in numerous government and university studies.
Destroys Germs and Viruses
Germicidal UV lamp is lethal against harmful micro-organisms. Recommended by the CDC (Centers of Disease Control).
This was my consumer review of the IDEA XJ-3800-1. We are still using this budget air purifier at home. I wouldn't rate it among the best in class since we still found plenty of dust in the room where it is located but still I believe it is efficient enough for its price. Please let us know what you think of the IDEA XJ-3800-1 air purifier in the comment section below and thanks for stopping by.
Samsung Galaxy J5 Pro (2017) - consumer review
Consumer video review of the beautiful Samsung Galaxy J5 Pro (2017)
As I am proud owner of a J5 (2017) and after just couple of months spend with it I can confirm that it is one of the biggest hits on the smartphone market for 2017.

In the following video review we want to show you what is this new smartphone all about and if it is worth considering it:

Black Friday 2017 continues at Amazon UK until 26th November
The shopping Black Friday fever this year will continue online at Amazon UK until 26th November
Black Friday 2017 is almost over and most stores ended up their promotion for this year's shopping event. Luckily there still some online stores that will offer big discounts for those who missed the biggest shopping event of the year. One of these stores is Amazon UK where you can purchase almost everything - from consumer electronics through clothing and many other consumer goods.

I've selected these moisturizers specifically for combination skin. My skin is oily in the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and normal to dry elsewhere. It's hard to pick up your daily lotion for that type of skin, but the options I offer you do the trick perfectly.
Daily moisturizer and thermal water by Vichy
Vichy
Daily moisturizer Aqualia Thermal light cream is a very good daily option for combination skin during colder months. The creme moisturizes and nourishes your skin during the whole day and prepares it for makeup application, if you use makeup on a daily basis.
This creme is suitable for ladies under 35 as it doesn't contain specific anti-age compounds. Also, keep in mind that it doesn't have an SPF factor so you may want to avoid it in sunny and hot months. Depending on how oily your skin tends to get, you may also use it at night and select a lighter version for the day if your skin is having a very oily day.
The thermal water was a gift when buying the set. It's light and refreshing. You can spray it on your face or body when your skin's feeling hot or irritated.
La Roche Posay's daily moisturizer
La Roche Posay
This moisturizer by La Roche Posay is suitable for oily and combination skin. It has a high SPF (30) and is suitable for hot and sunny months. The creme is lighter than Vichy's moisturizer and promises to correct your imperfections and spots.
I use both moisturizers on separate days depending on what my skin needs. If my face is getting dry, I go with Vichy. If my face is oily, I go with La Roche, as it has a slightly matte effect.
If my skin is feeling especially dry, I use Vichy's night care after I clean my skin well before getting to bed. This creme is rich and moisturizing, but if your skin is not dry it will not be absorbed well even in the morning.
La Roche Posay also gave me samples of their facial gel. I've washed my face with it a couple of times already and I'm happy with how cleat it feels without added dryness.
Body care
I bought La Roche Posay's baby body lotion for my daily body moisturizing care. The lotion is suitable for infants and adults alike. It contains to parabens or preservatives. It's hypo-allergenic and has no perfume.
La Roche Posay's gentle body lotion
I like the texture of this lotion and how well my skin absorbs it. Initially I though that the lack of odor will disturb me, but I got used to it. The lotion is overall very good and prevents skin dryness and irritation.
Overall verdict
I highly recommend this set of two very experienced and professional cosmetic companies. It's a perfect gift for a special lady with combination skin under 35. You can be sure that you have selected a thoughtful and caring gift!
Six months with the Sony Bravia KDL-40WD650 LED TV
Sony Bravia KDL-40WD650 LED TV is my personal choice for home TV - pros and cons after six months of use
Today I will share my personal consumer opinion about a TV we bought some six months ago - the 40 inch Full HD Smart LED TV Sony Bravia KDL-40WD650. This is a non-3D panel with great viewing angles and a fair price of around 400 Euros.
Pros
We've been very pleased with the TV in the last couple of months. Among some of its biggest advantages I can point out:
- Good picture quality - good color reproduction and picture processing
- Great viewing angles
- Nice sample and stylish design that fits almost any interior styling
- Got it cheap - less than $500
- Smart functions
Cons
There are of course some negatives but honestly it is just few that I can recall since buying the Bravia KDL-40WD650 LED TV:
- Smart TV Not an Android TV which offers bigger set of features
- Mediocre sound quality (we are using external sound system)
Sony Bravia KDL-40WD650 in-depth user review
Veridct
Sony Bravia KDL-40WD650 is a great TV for the money. I've always preferred Sony for TV and cinema electronics and this 40 inch panel did not disappoint me. Probably our next TV will be a bit bigger (43 inch) and with 4K resolution but I think there will be some time before we move on with this 40WD650.World famous entrepreneur Elon Musk creates the biggest lithium ionbattery
On 23 November Elon Musk announced that his company has finished building the biggest lithium ion battery in the world
Recently we heard that the colossal project for making the biggest lithium ion battery in the world was put into motion in March this year to help South Australia with its energy problems.The deal happened mostly over Twitter, when on 09 March Elon Musk tweeted "100 days from contact signature or it's free". This way he essentially committed that his company will not charge the South Australian government if they don't deliver on time.

What to buy on Black Friday 2017 - consumer tips
Black Friday 2017 promises to be one of the busiest shopping days this year
Black Friday 2017 is very close and most stores are getting ready for the shopping fever. Consumers are also getting excited as many of them are waiting this day to spend some money on a long waited product.
So, which are the most desired products in 2017, here are some of our top picks:
- Smartphones - just like in the last couple of years smartphones are the biggest hit in tech stores. Among the most desired I can point out iPhone X and iPhone 8 / 8 Plus. From the list of phones which run on Android we should definitely mention the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 and Google's Pixel 2.
- LED TVs - usually on Black Friday consumers choose their next TV. For 2017 I would say we see a significant drop in the interest in 3D TVs and curved panels. People these days are mostly focusing on 4K Ultra HD resolution and screen size as the biggest purchasing drivers.
- Consumer electronics - all other consumer electronics like kitchen appliances, refrigerators, ovens, washing machines and dryers are among the most wanted on Black Friday.
- Clothes - even though discounts are not as big as those in the consumer electronics market we see many people focusing their resources in buying some quality(expensive) shoes and clothing, including some accessories.
- Sporting goods - bicycles, tennis rackets, golf clubs and home exercising related.
- Gaming - gaming consoles and single games

The worst support ever - Booking.com
Need help with your reservation with Booking.com? Make sure to prepare yourselves for some of the worst customer support interactions you can imagine
Since this is a consumer blog today I decided to share my extremely bad experience with Booking.com support team.
How did it all started?
Almost a month ago I decided to take advantage of their so called "Invite and Earn" program (also known as Refer a friend) which is a referral program which allows you to share personal unique link which your friends can use when making the reservation. So, what's the benefit - if anyone uses this link to book their stay you get $15 after their stay. And here is what's exactly said on Booking's site:
"After their stay, you get US$15 back on your credit card! (And your friend gets 10% back.)"
Everything looks fine so far, I have used the link to share with my friends and actually one of them used it shortly. What went wrong is the fact that Booking.com promises to pay the referral seven working days after the guests check out as stated on their website: "You should receive your reward within seven working days after giving us your card details". And as you can guess 20 days later the $15 are still not transferred, neither my friend received their 10% back.

Hands-on review of my Honor 7 Lite after 6+ months of use!
I've had my Honor 7 Lite made by Huawei for more than 6 months now and I'd like to share my experience with you. Long story short, this is a decent mid-range phone currently under USD 200. It has a good camera, sleek beautiful design and average performance. I am overall happy with this smartphone despite the occasional drawbacks.

Diesel vs Gasoline vs Electric and Hybrid vehicles - what's the future of cars?
Car market changes have never been so dramatic but which technology will take over and lead the rest?
Probably many of you are sick of listening to stupid comments of the is the future of cars or which is the most economical technology that will dominate the market in the years to come. Still, today at our Test and Review blog will talk about cars and how we see their future, which technology you should invest in and of course how much it will cost you.
Diesel cars
I am starting with most updated and obsolete technology in regards to regular cars. And even though diesel engines are promoted as being the cheapest to run in regards to fuel economy they are failing in many other categories:
- Expensive to build and maintain - diesel engines are much more expensive to manufacture in comparison to gasoline engines and also very expensive to service (which happens a lot more often, unfortunately).
- Environmental issues - one of the biggest pollution factors in urban areas
- Expensive to buy - equivalently equipped gasoline car costs much less
Gasoline cars
Gasoline cars these days are are a great option for occasional drives looking for a reliable but yet affordable cars.
- Cheap to buy and maintain
- Less polluting compared to diesel engines
- More reliable than modern diesel vehicles
Electric/Hybrid vehicles
Well, that is the future, like it or not, hybrid and purely electric vehicles will dominate the car market after couple of years. What Tesla is doing these days will become a common practice in automotive industry, while hybrid vehicles will get better and more affordable.
- Eco friendly
- Cheap to run but expensive to buy and maintain
- Sill quite expensive

User review of our new Beko DS 8133 G tumble dryer
Review of our new tumble dryer Beko DS 8133 G + pictures
Recently we purchased our first tumble dryer for our new home. After careful research, we decided for a mid-range condenser tumble dryer that we can use without connecting to the house's water lines. So, naturally we selected Beko DS 8133 G model and are very happy with our choice.
Characteristics
What I like the most about the Beko DS 8133 G dryer is that it doesn't have to be connected to the pipeline of the household. You only need to plug it in the power outlet and you're in business! This is exactly what we did when we received it. Unpack and plug and you're ready, it's that easy and you don't need any tools.Gorenje SensoCare washing machine for the average consumer
As I mentioned above, this is a condenser dryer, no heat pump. Now I know that you've read all about heat pump dryers and how they're so famous these days, but this condenser dryer has its benefits as well. The price is the biggest one of them - the difference between a condenser and a heat pump drier is at least $150. Most people think that this spending will be compenstated by the difference in the electricity bill, however to justify that you would have to use the drier at least 7 years to compensate for the used electricity.
The Beko DS 8133 G has a water container for the condensed water after your clothes are dry. Naturally, you will have to empty the container yourself. It probably takes 3-4 dry cycles to fill the container depending on how much clothes you put in and how wet they are.
Programs
The dryer has 16 programs depending on the type of laundry you are going to try. In my opinion, the programs are more than enough to suit all needs. When you select the desired program, the diod light next to it fires up. Usage of the programs is as below:- Jeans - you can use specifically for denim clothes
- Baby protect - gentle program for baby clothes
- Shirts 15 min - short program for more delicate drying with less wrinkles
- Sport - use for synthetic, cotton or mixed fabric laundry
- 10 min, 20 min, 40 min, 60 min - dries for the selected time duration regardless of drying level
- Cottons iron dry - you can use for durable cotton laundry, dries enough to be ironed afterwards
- Synthetics iron dry - you can use for non-durable synthetic laundry, dries enough to be ironed afterwards
- Cottons Cupboard dry - you can use for durable cotton laundry, dries enough to be stored in your warderobe
- Synthetics Cupboard dry - you can use for non-durable synthetic laundry, dries enough to be stored in your warderobe
- Cottons Cupboard dry plus - you can use for durable cotton laundry, higher dryness level
- Cottons extra dry - you can use for durable cotton laundry, highest dryness level
- Delicates - low-temperature drying for delicate clothing
- Freshen up - ventilates the clothes for 10 mins; usable if you've left the dried laundry in the tumble dryer for a long time
Final verdict
I am perfectly happy with this dryer and I think that the Beko DS 8133 G is a great choice for a dryer that corresponds perfectly to my needs:- Budget price
- Comfortable and easy to use
- Good dryness level
- Relatively energy-efficient
- No need to connect to the drain system

Asus Zenpad 10 Z300C - convertible tablet review and specifications
Asus Zenpad 10 Z300C is the perfect budget convertible tablet?
The Asus Zenpad 10 Z300C is a convertible tablet launched in 2016. The starting price of the Zenpad 10 was around $250, but nowadays it can be found on Ebay or Amazon for under $150. This makes it one of the middle to budget range tablets. For its price, the Asus Zenpad 10 delivers great quality.
Design and display
The Zenpad Z300C has simple design, similarly to most Zenpad tablets. The frame around the screen is relatively thick, the edges are smoothed out. The back of the tablet is plastic and has a comfortable feel, but it's very far from high end. The Asus logo is in the top left corner on the front, the main camera is right behind it on the top left. If you hold the tablet in landscape position, the power and sound buttons are on the left side.40-inch TV, budget Samsung tv, budget tv, cheap TV, LED TV, mid-range TV, Samsung, Samsung TV, smart tv, TV, TV review
Samsung UE40MU6100 - good middle-price choice TV or not?
This Samsung UE40MU6100 is a 40-inch Smart TV for under $500. Does it provide value for money?
The UE40MU6100 is a 40-inch TV Samsung they launched in 2017. The model is mid to low-range price-wise and can be currently found for under USD500. Testproductreview decided to see if this TV is good choice for its price range.
Design
The TV has the typical Samsung look featuring the typical Y-shaped stand. It is similar to the higher-end models, but a closer look will give out the fact that this is a budget TV. The frame around the screen is a bit thicker than the more expensive models and it's plastic, not metallic.
However, the TV still keeps it signature stylish looks. The Y-stand featured here too is one of my favorite TV stand designs, but it has a small drawback - it's a bit longer than most so you will need a bigger table to put the TV on. The UE40MU6100 is a bit thicker than the higher end Samsung models. At a little bit above 6 cm, the TV is reasonably slim, but not exceptional.
Front view of the Samsung UE40MU6100
Relatively small according to today's megalomanic standards, this 40-inch Samsung is suitable for your living room or bedroom.
Picture and Sound Quality
The Samsung UE40MU6100 is 4K, but at this size, 40-inch, you will not be able to see the difference between Full HD and 4K resolution. Although a good feature, you'll definitely need a bigger screen size to make use of the 4K.
Best TV size to choose in 2017
You will be able to enjoy this TV's vibrant colors and deep blacks - something Samsung are famous for. The viewing angle however is not that great, so I suggest to place the TV in the center of the room. The motion is good though, thanks to Auto Motion Plus enhancer - another popular Samsung feature.
The sound of this TV is not its brightest feature though. Although passable, it's not as good compared to higher end models. I would definitely suggest you get a sound system along with the TV although that can cost you more for the whole set.

The Smart TV is Samsung's famous Tizen smart hub, which is easy and comfortable to use and is also featured on higher-end TVs.

The Novo 7 is manufactured and sold by the Chinese company Ainol Electronics. The 7 in the name of the tablet stands for the screen size. Ainol also has the Novo 8 and 5.Ainol produces tablet computers and phablet and are famous for launching the first Andorid 4.0 Ice cream sandwich tablet - the Novo 7.
Design
At first look, the Novo 7 Mars is not that impressive. The design is clean and simple - thick black frame around the screen, metallic silver backplate, rounded edges. It's a bit thick for my liking at 10.9 mm. The default position of the tablet is in decided to be landscape.
The Ainol logo is situated in the middle of the bottom frame below the screen. The sound contro and power buttons are on the top frame on the right side of the screen. The Mini-USB, headphone jack, SD card are on the left frame of the tablet.
What I find unusual is that the tablet doesn't have a back camera. Maybe that's a good choice, after all, who takes pictures with their tablet nowadays? But anyway, it's still uncommon and peculiar at first. The only camera is in the front and it's 0.3 MP, so don't count on any great selfies.
Performance
The overall impression with this tablet screams 'mediocre'. The best feature is the unbelieavable price. Several Amazon offers list the Novo 7 Mars at USD 53. Other than that, the tablet doesn't have much to impress you with. The 7-inch screen is a tad small by today's standards. The Amlogic processor isn't as fast as some tablets in a similar price range. There are user complaints that some apps don't run on the Novo 7 and that factory reset will be needed at some point in the device's life.The battery is 3700 mAh so you can't expect it to run more than a day on average use. The audio is bearable, as well as the image quality. The good thing is that it has 8 GB internal memory which can go up to 32 GB with an SD card. It has USB and Wi-Fi as well.
