Best adjustable dumbbells: six sets from a 12 kg beginner pair to the Bowflex 552i, on range, steps and length

An adjustable dumbbell replaces a rack you have no room for. The figures that matter are the weight range, how many settings sit inside it and how far apart they are, how the weight is changed, how long the dumbbell is at its lightest setting, and whether the listing is one dumbbell or two. Six sets from Bowflex and five smaller makers, from a 12 kg beginner pair to a 24 kg dial dumbbell.

Best automatic pet feeders: six feeders from a two-bowl timer to a microchip lock, by what each actually does

Automatic feeder is one name for four machines: a lidded bowl on a timer for wet food, a tray that turns to the next meal, a hopper that drops measured kibble, and a lid that opens only for the right cat. Which you need depends on the food, how long you are away and how many animals eat. Six feeders from Catit, Cat Mate, PetSafe, Petlibro and Sure Petcare, on the makers' figures.

Bowflex SelectTech 552i vs Hakeno 2 × 24 kg: the brand dial dumbbell against the budget pair

The same idea at two prices: a dumbbell that picks up plates from a tray by a dial or a twist, 15 settings to 24 kilograms. Bowflex sells one dumbbell with a manual and every figure published; Hakeno sells two with a listing and a three-year warranty claim. The decision is one or a pair, how much a checkable maker is worth, and what happens when something breaks.

Catit Flower Fountain vs Catit PIXI Fountain: the two Catit cat fountains, on capacity, power and cleaning

Catit sells the two fountains most UK cats drink from. They share a filter and a price bracket and differ in everything else: three litres against two and a half, a mains pump against USB, a flower top with three flows against a cat face with a level window and a light. The choice comes down to how many cats, where the socket is, and whether you want to see the level from the door.

Best cordless lawn mowers for a small garden: six 18 to 48 V mowers compared on cut, box, battery and weight

A cordless mower for a British back garden is four numbers: cutting width, which sets the passes; the box, which sets the stops; the battery, which sets the lawn per charge; and weight, which decides who uses it. Six mowers from Bosch, Worx, Einhell and Gtech, from a 3.5 kg strip-mower to a 42 cm machine with a 50 l bin, on the makers' figures.

Cordless mower batteries explained: volts, amp-hours, watt-hours and how much lawn you actually get

Cordless mowers are labelled 18, 20, 40 or 48 V, sold with a 2.0 or 4.0 Ah battery and a lawn size, as if any one number told you the run time. None does alone. This guide turns volts and amp-hours into watt-hours you can compare, and explains brushless motors, the makers' lawn assumptions and battery platforms, with four mowers as examples.

Dash cams explained: resolution and frame rate, field of view, sensors at night, parking mode and the UK rules

Dash cams are sold on a pixel count, and the pixel count is the least reliable predictor of whether a plate will be readable in the clip you hand to your insurer. This guide explains what resolution and frame rate buy, why field of view is a trade, what the sensor does at night, what GPS adds, what parking mode requires, and where a camera may legally sit on a UK windscreen.

Best dash cams: six front and front-and-rear cameras compared on resolution, GPS, screen and parking mode

A dash cam is insurance evidence. What makes it useful is whether a plate can be read, which is resolution, frame rate and the sensor at night; whether speed and location are stamped on it, which is GPS; whether it records when parked; and whether the back of the car is covered. Six cameras from Nextbase, Garmin, Viofo and 70mai, from a 1080p pocket camera to 4K front and rear.

Best electric toothbrushes: six Oral-B and Sonicare models compared on sensors, modes and battery

An electric toothbrush is bought on a price tier and sold on a plaque percentage. What changes your brushing is plainer: a warning when you press too hard, how many days the battery lasts, a two-minute timer, and what the heads cost. Six brushes from the two makers that publish those figures, Oral-B and Philips Sonicare, from the cheapest round-head Oral-B to the DiamondClean with an app.
