Chupa Chups The Best Of 120 Lollipops Review

My daughters absolutely love Chupa Chups lollies and I wanted some to go in goodies bags at a children’s party, I thought it a good idea to get a bag so there would be plenty left over, I have purchased other types before but these are without doubt my daughters favourite and I always find the quality consistent.

The pack has a good variety with a fairly even mix of each flavour and easy enough to open, they don’t eat masses of these but it’s nice to have a jar full as a treat and certainly a lot cheaper to buy a pack than individual ones while shopping, the quality is very good as I have always found with Chupa Chups lollies and my only reason for using this seller was availability on prime for next day deliver and cheapest price I could find at the time (£13.11 at the time of my order)

I have added a short video opening them and then the little fingers of my youngest helping herself :)

• A showcase of Chupa Chups most loved lollipops
• Mix of Best Of flavours Chupa Chups lollipops
• Assorted flavour lollipops: Strawberry, Cherry, Apple, Cola, Strawberry-Cream and Raspberry-Vanilla
• Bag of 120 Chupa Chups lollipops
• Suitable for vegetarians & Kosher

Summary

**********
Overall very nice and consistent quality as I have always found with Chupa Chups lollies, the price was good working out around 11p a lolly and I would certainly recommend them. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.

LYL Remote Control 4wd Offroad Car Review

A zippy RC car packed with power and fun, I got this for my nephews 9th birthday as he asked me if I could get him a remote controlled car he could take with him to his mates and they could race so this looked ideal being very robust, I said I would set it all up for him, charge it and make sure everything was working but he saw through that and said if you want to play that’s ok you can show me how it works :)

This arrived in a branded box nice and neatly packed and protected with the car being held down with plastic ties you have to cut to release the car, after unpacking everything I released the catch on the bottom of the car (very simple to do) and took the battery out and put it on charge with the USB adapter that came with it, there are four holding pins on top of the car once removed the shell of the truck can be removed, you don’t need to do this to connect the battery but it makes it a lot easier to do.

The manual is very clear and detailed also mixed language on the same page so you have to find your relevant language although not really any sort of issue as there are only a few things you really need to know to be up and running, make sure the first time you turn it on you first switch on the car then you switch on the remote control while holding down the ‘bind’ button to pair it, this is something you only have to do once and it then auto connects next time you use it.

There is a very thin protective film over the body of the car you peel off although you don’t have to remove this and I would suggest leaving it on until you have got used to driving it, when the battery was fully charged and connected back into the car and my Nephew arrived we took it outside and give it a whirl, it had been snowing so an ideal test for it to see how it performed.

The car is very fast up to 25mph and very responsive whizzing round and very easy to control and steer with the wheel system on the remote control, the build quality of the car looks extremely good and even though my Nephew and myself had a multitude or bumps and rolls there wasn’t even a scratch on it and the fine adjustment on the controller allows you to set it up perfectly.

I have added a video and will also add some pictures showing unpacking the car and some driving, spinning and sliding in the snow and across the car park, although I am a novice at driving RC vehicles and this was my Nephews first time it only took a little bit of practice to have it running round in every direction at high speed fully controlled.

What I liked
*************
- 50M remote control, we tested this and it was almost spot on 50 meters before it stopped responding
- Huge fun to drive and easy to control with the wheel system on the remote control
- Really fast up to 25mph
- The body is easy to remove with four holding clips and the build is high quality
- It looks great, the paintwork is fantastically clear and detailed
- I like the simple charging system just plugging it into the USB adapter
- The working headlights are a nice touch
- Very robust, we had several crashes and rolls and can’t even see a scratch on it

What I Didn’t Like
********************
- I would have liked to see a full English section in the manual rather than mixed languages on the same page, not a big deal and more of a suggestion than a negative.

Summary
**********
Overall a great RC car that’s fast, fun and very robust, my Nephew loves it. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.

Leyuee Wi-Fi Smart Plug Review

Good solid product with a very easy to use phone or tablet application, I have been using a remote control switch off plug for a few years now but it has several issues not least the limited distance for the remote control and it takes a tiny battery which is not only expensive it’s not the sort I have lying about so normally end up having to order it so when it went this time I decided it was time to replace the whole unit.

This looked ideal and I liked the ability to run from an application totally removing the need for a separate remote control, it arrived in a basic brown box and the plug looks good quality and well finished, the manual is very detailed but also very easy to follow, a lot of the manual covers using the smart plug with Alexa something I don’t use so although not relevant to me it is a feature I may consider in the future if I ever buy one.

I installed the Jinvoo Smart application using the QR code on the box to my Android phone (the QR code is also in the manual for both Android and iOS devices) and after registering ran through the setup without any problems even renaming the plug, I liked the idea of the timer for switching and schedule the Smart Plug to automatically power on or off, the best bit for me being the ability to control it from any place in my house and as a test being as I use the alarm on my phone to get up in the morning I set it up on the kettle plug with the kettle switched on but the Smart plug set to off and when my alarm went off I flicked to the Jinvoo Smart application turning the smart plug on and by the time I was in the kitchen the kettle had boiled ready for my morning drink :)

I have added a short video and will also add some pictures showing unboxing, running through the Jinvoo Smart application install and then just testing it working on a socket with a lamp and setting the countdown timer to switch it.

• Remote Control: Download and Set APP to Control all of your connected devices with smart phone or iPad wherever you have Internet, makes your life more easier and convenient
• Scheduling Function: Schedule the Smart Plug to automatically power electronics on and off as needed, like setting lights to come on at dusk or turn off at sunrise, giving you one less thing to worry about in your busy life
• Easy to Use and Set up: Scan QR code to download Jinvoo APP on the user manual for free, connect the socket, done.One smart phone can control several power sockets simultaneously, perfect for fridge, air-condition, lights, microwave, wifi router, coffee mill, etc
• Alexa Compatible Devices: Work with Amazon Alexa Google Home for voice control, turn electronics on or off from anywhere with your tablet or smart phone

What I liked
*************
- Very good application backing it up
- Neat little LED in the front to give a good visual indication of its status
- The manual is very detailed and easy to follow with a step by step guide and FAQ
- An adjustable count down timer to switch it on or off after a set period of time
- Scheduling Function giving the ability to switch the plug on and off at set times as a one off function or repeating on certain or all days as needed
- Alexa compatible, not something I use but nice to know if I get one I won’t have to get a different smart plug

What I Didn’t Like
********************
- Not really anything to add here but if I do have any future problems I will return, edit and add them

Summary
**********
Overall a great little gadget with a very professional device application to back it up, it works exactly as it should and I am very pleased with it. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.

BESTEK Fast Boil Cordless Water Kettle Review

Sleek and stylish efficient kettle, after my old kettle’s element failed I decided it was time to upgrade and replace it as the handle had also cracked and it had become difficult to lift so changing the element would not have solved the handle problem, I had a good look round at different kettles and this looked ideal with the blue LED’s being a neat idea, although I found many vendors of this product the main factors for purchasing this was the price and having already purchased an egg cooker from BESTEK which is a cracking little gadget I wanted to stay with a company that had already delivered high quality.

It arrived in a BESTEK branded box with the base and instructions on the top and kettle below packed securely between polystyrene, at first I thought it had a very short power cable but was pleased to see it wound discreetly under the base to around two and a half feet in length more than adequate for my needs and most kitchens I would think. I filled the kettle with a couple of table spoons of baking soda added the same amount of lemon juice then topped it up with water and left it overnight, I do this with all new pans and liquid containers as I find it removes any metallic taste you may get from manufacture.

I really liked the look of the kettle with the blue LED’s shining through the water when boiling and with the 1.7 litre capacity more than adequate for all my needs and best of all my wife approves of it even going as far as to say I made a good choice and it looks nice, I like the fact the lid is hinged as my old kettle had a push on lid which would often come off when pouring, the release button is smooth and works well.

I have added a short video and will also add some pictures showing the kettle working and just pouring myself some green tea my drink of choice during the day, I found it quick to boil, easy to pour and hopefully it shows how nice it looks when boiling with the blue LED’s.

• HIGH QUALITY BPA FREE GLASS MATERIAL: A water level gauge allows precise measurement and glass body let you know how much is left in the kettle at any time. complimented by stainless steel base. durable and safe, preserving natural flavors and preventing taste contamination
• ELEGANT BLUE LED ILLUMINATION: Designed with interior LED illumination, light on once the kettle start work and the beautiful blue lighting also can as indicator when boil water at night
• 360 DEGREE SWIVEL POWER BASE AND SAFETY: Cool-to-touch handle,automatic shut-off and boil-dry protection provide extra safety. Built with a Anti-Slip Grip and Adiabatic handle. No worry about your hands to get accidental burns
• 1.7 LITER CAPACITY(8 CUP)：Water level gauge, 360 degree swivel power base, removable/cleanable scale filter, wide mouth for easy cleaning, the high energy efficient kettle can help you can get boiled water in a few minutes
• EASY TO CLEAN: It has a wide mouth and a removable filter. you can open the lid and put your whole hand into the kettle, convenient for you to clean the inside

What I liked
*************
- The look of the kettle
- 1.7 litre capacity more than adequate for our needs
- Good length power cable adjustable under the base
- The blue LED’s, I know they don’t improve the boiling system at all but they look great
- Good quality finishing on the kettle
- Easy to clean and easy to pour
- The price was good compared to other similar products

What I Didn’t Like
********************
- I haven’t found anything I don’t like about this kettle but if I do have any issues I will return and add them.

Summary
**********
Overall this is a great looking kettle with high capacity neat LED lights when boiling and best of all my wife likes it so it gets full marks from me. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.

Lesfit Folding 12 Stacking Clear Plastic Shoe Boxes Review

Good solid well-made shoe boxes, my wife is somewhat of a shoe collector and has more shoes than I have ever owned in my life so wanted me to get some form of storage for them as my idea of giving them to the charity shop didn’t go down to well, after having a good look round I decided on these as they looked ideal, I must admit I was a bit dubious as to if they would assemble into a good solid storage container but was very pleasantly surprised.

They arrived packed into a big brown box all in separate sleeves with an instruction leaflet, the instructions are somewhat basic but easy enough to follow and assembly is quite easy, the quality is consistent across all the packs and I didn’t have any issues assembling any of them, there are arrow ties for linking the boxes together to give added stability but I have yet to fit and secure these due to the fact my wife will change her mind several times before deciding on location and shape.

I found them to be really solid once assembled with all the draws sliding in and out without problems and my wife was really pleased seeing I had assembled them all by the time she returned home, I have added a video showing the assembly and will also add a few pictures which should help anyone struggling to assemble them, the only bit not very clear in the instructions to me which I have shown is folding down the little catch flaps when clipping the plastic surrounds on the top of the box and front of the draw so hopefully this assists someone.

• Space-saving: The drawer is 31x 21x 12 cm, ideal for cosmetics, toys, shoes, socks, underwear, clothing, handbags, belts, book, tools, care products, office items and all the other little things in your wardrobe or desk. The beautiful and intelligent storage system will keep your stuffs in order.
• Sturdy and Non-slippery: Remarkable plastic constructions allow more stable and multi-layers construction than other products. The individual boxes can be firmly assembled and piled.
• Convenient to Take Out: The storage box is designed as a drawer with a small hole on the front so you can put your finger in and pull them out with ventilation function. The best and safest storage option for you.
• Quick and Easy Assembly: Adopt from the newest PP material, no fading, it is easy to clean and can protect from dust and water. Its super-fast and easy assembly ( About 5 minutes) is an ideal choice for practical housewives and families.
• Semitransparent Remarkable Plastic Constructions: Everything is easier and quicker to be found with Lesfit storage boxes. And we strive to provide you with the highest quality product and the best customer experience with 24 months warranty, if you're not entirely satisfied, please contact us, we're here until solve your problem.

Summary
**********
Overall I am really pleased with this purchase and the quality of the shoe boxes, they are quick and easy to assemble giving a really solid box to hold the shoes once they are, my wife was pleased with them and has now filled them with shoes without any issues at all. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.

BC Master 1080P 170° GPS Dash Cam Full HD Review

Great little dashcam that delivers high quality recording, I went for the DC10 with the GPS module and hardwire kit as I wanted the added feature of location identification with speed display on the recordings and planned to hardwire the dashcam so for an extra £17.00 it added this plus gave me all I needed to hardwire it. With it hardwired it takes away any need to have it plugged into the cigarette socket and automatically switches on and off when starting the car making it totally automatic.

It arrived in a black lift top box covered with a BC master branded sleeve, when opened the main camera was in a foam cut-out, instruction manual and spare double sided adhesive stickers in a plastic bag and in another cut-out it had the cigarette lighter adapter, although I will not be using this it’s worth noting it comes with additional USB ports in the cigarette socket which is handy and a nice feature. Under this it had three boxes containing the hardwire kit, GPS plugin module and the fittings for fixing the camera to the screen or alternative fitting for fixing on the dashboard.

After opening it all up I went through the menu which I have shown in my video and formatted the 32gig micro SD card I’m using, I find 32gig more than adequate for this as it has loop recording and overwrites the oldest recordings and additionally lock any impact or sharp braking recordings from being overwritten, once I had set everything up and tested the features it was time to get it fitted and grab some live footage.

The hard wire kit is a fairly simple process to fit using the fuse piggyback you just identify a fuse that’s power is only live when the car ignition is turned on and put the fuse piggyback in that, I identified the rear wipers on my car and after fixing the earth wire to a screw on the metal surround of the fuse panel tested it was working correctly switching on and off with the car ignition which it was, the rest of the job is just making sure everything is secured so it can’t move or work loose then I just ran the cable behind the trimming of the car up to the location I was fitting the camera which for me is just below the mirror although it can be fitted in any location due to the wide angle recording it will capture the whole road, side roads and paths both sides from any location on the screen. I fitted the GPS receiver in the corner on the opposite side of the dashboard using the same process of concealing the wire behind the trimming, all fairly straight forward and once finished very neat and inconspicuous.

I gave all the features a good test using some hard braking to test the G-Sensor which worked fine locking the recording, rocking the car to test the motion detection which worked as it should and went through the different recording resolutions all giving a crisp clear result. I wanted to test the GPS so first took the location reading from the video and put it into Google maps which instantly gave the location, I went to the BC master website and got the Registrator Viewer software and installed it on my desktop PC, this is a superb program in which you add the videos from the micro SD card and it will stack the journeys allowing you to view the video and it will display a map showing the full route moving the marker with the video and a display showing the speed you are traveling ideal for tracking a journey or exactly identifying an accident location.

• Full HD 1080P 30fps, SONY IMX sensor, 6-layers glass lens,Super Wide Angle to capture everything in front of your vehicle more clearly, and maintain the highest quality video at night or in inclement weather.
• Equipped with unique BC Master car charger: Mini USB cable(4m) charger for the dash cam, and other two ports with Smart IC Tech, which automatically detects the highest speed your device can charge at, and implements the fastest safest charge power possible, can provide 5V/3A Max. for devices in the car.
• Built-in Supercapacitors to prevent explosion due to exposure in summer heat, much safer and over 20 times longer service life than lithium battery.
• Support up to 128GB Class 10 TF/Micro SD card,Requirement 80MB/S transfer speed (not provided in package) for reliable recording and performance. ADVICE: As 1 hour 1080P capturing needs 6G space, we suggest to choose 16G+ Class 10 card. WARNING: Low-quality and low-speed card will lead to the dash cam freeze.BEST to use SDSDQQ-032G-G46A
• Vehicle Hardwire Kit provides 24-Hour uninterrupted parking guard surveillance, taking power from car's fusebox directly as protect against vehicle's battery dying, help you find trouble maker easily.

What I liked
*************
- Great price for a dashcam with GPS and fitting kit
- Superb quality recording
- G-Sensor feature for locking incident recordings from overwriting
- Loop recording and motion detection work perfectly
- A multitude of features and settings
- Good easy to follow manual
- Clear display and easy to navigate menu
- The hardwire fitting kit is good and I found it easy to fit

What I Didn’t Like
********************
- Not really a dislike but I did look at dashcams as some have the GPS built into the camera but found them all to be much larger, more expensive and as I wanted a small and discreet camera it meant the separate plug in GPS unit so I chose the BC master, the addition of a separate GPS unit might not suit some people.

Summary
**********
Overall I am very pleased with this dashcam, for a dashcam with GPS and a hardwire fitting kit this is really a great price and it is ram packed with features and settings, the recording quality is superb and GPS works perfectly the reason it gets full marks from me. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.

Tacklife Digital Tape Measure Review

Good solid accurate and easy to use, after years of every time I went to measure something thinking I must get a digital tape measure I finally took the plunge and am very pleased I did as it’s not only easy to use and understand the settings it’s also deadly accurate.

It arrived in an oblong flip top branded box with the main unit on top in a plastic insert and under this it had a neat little carry pouch, a lanyard should you wish to attach it, two AAA batteries and the instructions, the instructions are fairly easy to understand going into good in depth detail on the different functions and features along with giving linked and tagged diagrams making it a lot easier to follow.

After unboxing it and inserting the batteries I tested it for accuracy checking it against a standard tape measure and it was spot on, I gave it a test with area measurement, volume measurement and Pythagoras measurement all spot on when I double checked the results with the standard tape measure which also took about five times longer to do, the subtraction and addition are a really neat features that I have no doubt will come in very handy.

I have added a short video and will also add some additional pictures showing unboxing and testing some of the features which hopefully gives some idea of how it all works

THORVAP TC 100W E Cigarette Starter Kit Review

Nice solid powerful modbox with a very effective atomizer tank, this arrived in a neat slide sided branded blue and white box with the instructions on the top and modbox, atomizer tank, spare glass for the tank, spare coil and rubber seals fitted into custom slots in the black foam with the charging cable, dust cap and replacement silicone mouthpiece in a separate black box. I like to see these coming with spare parts for the tank and replacement coil something a lot of suppliers don’t give you.

The instructions are multilingual with the English being the first section, they are very clear and easy to follow with diagrams showing you exactly what you should be seeing at various stages, it also contains a FAQ sections a very helpful addition I have not seen in modbox instructions before and no doubt useful to anyone new to vaping or having issues.

After I unpacked it I looked at how to change the coil, this is something I always do with a new atomizer tank through previous experience of buying a new tank then struggling to find out how to take it apart to change the coil when it’s needed and I find it a much easier process if I already know. After doing this I put the modbox on charge and left the atomizer tank to fully soak in the juice, most recommend you leave it to soak around 5 minutes or so but I like to leave it longer.

The Thorvap TC 100w really is a beast, a heavy solid box as you would expect with a high capacity modbox and has a nice big ‘fire button’ which I like as it saves you struggling to find it when not looking, it starts up with 5 clicks on the fire button which seems to be the standard to turn on and off most modboxes, you enter the different modes with 3 clicks and 2 clicks changes the temperature mode from centigrade to fahrenheit or vice versa.

I will say at this point if you are new to vaping don’t be daunted by all the talk of different modes, with the coil and tank supplied I would suggest not worrying about different modes etc, fit the tank, fill the tank with juice and leave it to soak in a while, hit the fire button 5 times then put it to your mouth and press the fire button and test after that just adjust the air vents on the tank to control airflow to something you like and increase or decrease the wattage with the + and – buttons until you find a vape experience you like, everything else you can explore once you are happy.

The atomizer tank delivers a very nice smooth vape experience and brings a good flavour through, I have tried alternative silicone mouthpiece but prefer the standard black one it comes fitted with but this is a personal preference, I have added a video and will also add some pictures showing unpacking, showing how to change the coil then running through the different modes and a bit of vaping.

• 3200mAh Vape Box: durable, long lasting Micro USB charging e cig battery with clear and huge OLED screen, get best vaping experience at any time.
• Top Refill System Tank: Super easy to refill e liquid, do not need to take clearomizer from battery, just fill e juice from atomizer top. Also, atomizer drip tip can be change to a thinner one, thinner drip tip can be find on the packing.
• VW & TC Modes available: 【VW Mode】7w -100w, control wattage in 0.1 steps. 【TC Mode】212 ℉ -600 ℉/ 100 ℃ -315 ℃, control temperature in 1℉/℃ steps, adjust arbitrary according to your habits and e liquid.
• Pure taste & Huge Vapour: 100w TC e vape come with 0.2ohm OCC coil, combine with powerful 3200mAh mod box, create pure taste and huge vapour. Perfect choice for Experienced Vapers and Cloud Chaser
• Packing: 1* 100w TC vape mods, 1* Sub Ohm Tank, 1* Extra Coil 0.2ohm, 1* Extra Thinner Drip Tip, 1* Dust Cap for drip tip, 1* Extra Pyrex Glass Tube, 1* Micro USB Cable, 1* User Manual (EU TPD Standard, Safe and Legal)

What I liked
*************
- Lots of spare parts included for the tank plus a dust cap and spare mouthpiece
- Multitude of different modes with a very simple switching system
- Good solid modbox and nice design
- Large fire button and easy power control
- Charging port is at the front rather than on the bottom, something I like as it means you can stand it up while charging
- The atomizer tank is very nice and delivers a good vaping experience
- Well presented in a custom box so idea if you are buying as a gift for someone
- Good clear easy to follow manual with a helpful FAQ
- Top fill tank which is the case with most now but this has a good size inlet at the top, some are very small and it’s too easy to spill liquid

What I Didn’t Like
********************
- The Thorvap TC 100w does not have a pass through, a feature that allows you to vape and charge at the same time, not a feature it claims so I won’t mark it down for it.

Summary
**********
Overall this is a very nice modbox with a good atomizer tank that delivers a great vape, the Thorvap TC 100w is more than suitable for people new to vaping or the experience vaper and it gets top marks from me. If you have any questions please feel free to ask I will do my best to answer.
