Corsair HS80 RGB Headset
This gaming headset is extremely comfortable to wear for extended periods of time, with cushy earpads that help block out noise from the world around you. Coming with Dolby Atoms and supporting Dolby companion software, you can adjust the audio to whatever works best for you. With support for both PC and PlayStation consoles, this is a fantastic headset for anyone looking for a sleek and discrete way to game.
Score: 4/5
Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Carbon
Next up, the Yoga Slim 7i Carbon weighs in at just 974 grams, which makes it ultra-portable and is a very easy choice for anyone looking for a work laptop. The 10-hour battery life is impressive for a smaller device and inside there’s a solid 11th-gen Intel processor that can handle any productivity task you throw at it.
Score: 4/5
Huawei Sound Joy
The Huawei Sound Joy is a water-resistant portable Bluetooth speaker that is capable of surprisingly deep and tuneful bass. The 26-hour battery means you can use it on the go without issue, with the fabric finish and oversized buttons giving it a great rugged look.
Score: 4/5
Tower T17076 10 in 1 Digital Air Fryer
Despite coming in with a pretty complicated name, this Tower 10 in 1 Digital Air Fryer can tackle an impressive range of cooking tasks. This device can be used as a grill, griddle, toaster and a mini-rotisserie, making it a great addition to every kitchen, even if it does take up a lot of space.
Score: 4.5/5
Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro
If you’re looking for a traditional laptop, the Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro is one of the top contenders. The 16:10 aspect ratio is perfect for work applications, with a high resolution that keeps the screen looking sharp, all for under £1000. The glass touchpad feels smooth to glide across and adds a touch of style to the overall design.
Score: 4.5/5 stars
Kenwood kMix KMX75
We’re rounding off this week’s Trusted Recommends with the only five-star product we reviewed, the Kenwood kMix KMX75 stand mixer. This mixer excelled at whipping, mixing and kneading without tossing flour outside of the bowl and making a big mess. Each removable part is dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean. The only downside here is that it takes up a lot of space, but for the quality, we think it’s worth it.
Score: 5/5
