Accessories Buying Guides

Honest Buy, Skip, or Consider verdicts for accessories — what to check, what to avoid, and where to search for better options.

CONSIDER

Budget portable power bank

Consider Anker or Baseus at the low end rather than unknown brands. Capacity claims are routinely inflated on budget power banks and poor cells are a fire risk.

CONSIDER

Budget dash cam

Consider Vantrue or Nextbase at the low end rather than unknown brands. Insurance-grade video at night requires better sensors than most sub-£50 cameras deliver.
