BESTEK Cordless 4400mAh Handheld Vacuum Review

I purchased this as a gift for my wife from my daughters for Mother’s day, I know some will raise their eyebrows at this as a Mother’s day gift but I had strict although indirect instructions from my daughters that this was what mummy wanted so I ordered this and added an additional ‘best mum in the world’ mug along with the cards.

The vacuum arrived in a nice branded box with a little carrying handle on the top, the vacuum was in a plastic sleeve in the middle with the manual, connections and power charging lead in in the bottom, my wife was delighted with it and said it was exactly what she needed :) The manual is clear and easy to follow with a few diagrams showing and explaining how to empty and clean the filter etc.

After it was fully charged I decided to give it a good test and was pleasantly surprised how powerful it was for a handheld vacuum picking up coffee, sprinkles and sugar with no trouble at all and giving great suction, the attachments just slot in and out of the front making a nice addition for hard to reach places, the filter is plastic and very simple to wash and clean in lukewarm water.

I ran it for 38 minutes non-stop until the power ran out just to test the battery capacity but also to see if it faded and right up until the last minute it was still giving good suction and picking things up. Overall this is a nice portable and powerful handheld vacuum that does away with a trailing power lead and best of all my wife loves it.

ExquizOn P8I Pico Video Projector Portable Android 7.0 Built in Review

I do several coaching and guidance seminars a year and part of this includes me using a projector, I have been struggling with an old large projector for a few years but it was time to retire it as its heavy, has a very limited menu with no Wi-Fi option, it’s noisy, the projection quality isn’t the best and it’s a real pain carrying all the leads including an extension lead due to many places not having a power point near the setup area.

I chose the ExquizOn P8I Pico due to it being small enough to slip into my case, it having a two hour plus battery life which is more than adequate for my presentation, I can use media from USB and micro SD cards via the on-board slots, it has a base Android 7 operating system which allows me to install apps and utilities and has an inbuilt Wi-Fi so can be used for streaming online content or surfing the internet.

It arrived in a lift top black branded box with the projector on top boxed up much the same as a new phone is having the HDMI lead, instructions, power supply and stand below. Although I had already seen the size dimensions it still surprised me how small it actually was and I set it up to give it a good test, the HDMI slot on the side takes a full size HDMI connection which is great as I know some have a step down to mini HDMI meaning you need an adapter. The Android menu is very clean and simple to use with a couple of preinstalled apps on the main screen and a browser.

After linking it to my Wi-Fi I tested a few of the apps and the browser all of which worked great and also tested the Eshare app something I have not used before but once installed on my iphone 6 very simple to mirror my iphone to the projector screen, I tested some live TV and found the projection quality superb with a little wheel on the side for fine focus, I linked it up to my Xbox One to test a bit of gaming and this also looked great, I hooked it up to my PC which gave me a huge screen display, very clear and usable, I tested a bit of media on USB and micro SD card as this is something I will be using when giving a seminar and it was very easy to use from the FileExplorer on the main screen and worked great.

In summary this is a great easily portable projector which is very quiet without any complicated setup that gives you over two hours playtime from the battery should you need it, the picture quality is superb and with the Android 7 operating system making it highly versatile for a multitude of different uses, I have used it for one seminar so far and worked perfectly allowing me to set it up on a desk, switch it on and away I went no hassle.
