Without the app and Wi-Fi, this is a perfectly adequate tumble dryer, but when it’s connected to the network and talking to the Electrolux app, it really comes into its own. And if you also have a washing machine connected to the same app, the excitement never ends. One advantage of having both washer and …

Let’s start with the feature that Electrolux itself emphasises as the most ground-breaking feature of this washing machine, and which has even given its name to the machine: the UltraCare washing system. In short, the system works by mixing water and detergent together before it is sprayed onto the clothes in the drum. According to …

The old American vacuum cleaner company Bissell has branched out into mop and textile cleaning machines in recent years. We’ve tested a few such machines over the past year with varying results and are curious to see if the Spotclean Hydrosteam Pro does a better job. It can best be described as a combined steam …
Ecovacs Deebot X11 OmniCyclone stands out in several ways. Among other things, the robot vacuum cleaner features flexible roller mops instead of rotating mops, a single brush arm and a bagless base station. Deebot is also an ambitious robot vacuum cleaner. The base and robot were barely unpacked and set up before the robot took …
The new DeLonghi Primadonna Aromatic is a worthy top model. The Maestosa may cost more, but it’s geared more towards the office than the home, whereas the Primadonna is for those who want every conceivable feature in one fully automatic espresso machine at home. It can deliver both hot and cold espresso and milk foam, …
Of course, a robot vacuum cleaner cannot be a fully automated cleaning solution because cleaning is so much more than just cleaning floors. Now with that settled, the testing can begin! A robot vacuum cleaner with a base station that not only charges the vacuum cleaner, but also empties it of dirt and contains containers …
When it comes to smart home security, there’s Arlo – and then there are all the others. Originally part of Netgear, Arlo has been making security cameras longer than most and has a huge range. The Arlo Ultra 2 is the top model for home use. Which is also reflected in the price. You can …
We’ve tested quite a few tumble dryers here at the editorial office, and after a while you start to notice small details. Like not being able to hear when the tumble dryer is running because it has just fallen below some magical noise threshold. This is the case with this machine from LG, for example. …
The ultimate test came when raspberry juice was spilled on a white knitted jumper. Could the LG washing machine really handle such an impossible task or would the sweater be lost forever? We’ll come back to Mission Impossible, but first let’s establish that if you’re looking for an efficient washing machine, this one from LG …
Installing an air conditioning system takes a man – or woman. In any case, the box of Electrolux Comfort 600 BTU 12000 was a bit of a pain in the arse to get delivered and hauled into the property. The last time we had a Comfort air conditioning unit for testing was in 2023, when …
Swedish Wood’s has impressed us before with its simple design, efficient cooling and low noise level. We’ve had a Cortina model pass by the editorial office before. Back then it was the Cortina Silent 12K Smart Home. The model with app received a special recommendation and a high score of five. This time we’re testing …
Dreame is generous when it comes to accessories. And this box contains yet another one: the AquaCycle for wet cleaning, which transforms the stick vacuum cleaner into a mop machine. This model is essentially identical to the one we tested previously, with one exception – the charging cable is not attached to the handle, but …
Observant people will have noticed cats’ ability to strut around on a windowsill without knocking over a single knick-knack. Dreame’s new, advanced robot vacuum cleaner, the X50 Ultra Complete, achieves the same agility. The robot has not become physically larger, but heavier. Compared to Dreame’s latest top model, the L40 Ultra, it has gained 530 …
Dreame has launched a new version of their L10s Ultra robot vacuum cleaner, now called ‘Gen 2’. The naming may not be the most innovative, but it makes it easy to recognise the difference when looking for it in stores or online. And it’s worth doing, because this model is an excellent upgrade. Although similar …
In just a few years, Chinese company Dreame has become a leader in robot vacuum cleaners, alongside Ecovacs and Roborock, among others. Several of the models can do a lot of things that sound smart on paper. But not all of them deliver when the robot is let loose on the floors of your home. …
