The Gtech Pro is Gtech’s first bagged vacuum cleaner with cordless design. It comes with four attachments, the Power floor head, Power brush, Dusting brush and Crevice tool, as well as 2 replacement bags. The bag helps to keep hygienic and dust free when maintaining your vacuum but will incur additional cost to replace them (£9.99 for a pack of 10), with the average household using between 4-8 bags a year. The bag will typically hold 1.5lt, which means you should be emptying it less than the bag free counterparts.

We were lucky enough to get our hands on a FG Desk Laptop Stand.

With the weather finally starting to warm up, people are crawling out from their winter hibernation to rediscover their gardens and if you are anything like us, you will find it has been taken over by grime, weeds and dirty protests from next door’s cat. The Nilfisk E150 can deal with at least one of those issues - two at a push, but your neighbour will never forgive you.

Ok, I must get this out straight away: the nCube is not a cube! This bugs me way more than it should, but it could literally be called anything or be any shape, so there is just no excuse for the name and design to not correlate. This was, perhaps, an early sign of disappointments to come.
