XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro projector review

The XGIMI MoGo 2 Pro projector is one of their latest on offer and comes in smaller footprint than the Halo+ we did some time ago and offering pretty much the same package only slightly less in depth features inside however there is one or two new features welcome.

Packed into a smaller size robust square can with a super clean finish you will find all the ports on the rear plus a fan and a covered woofer which looks cool and having this covered means no dust getting in the way as projectors are known for collecting dust and it is wise to place it in a position away from windows not sitting on a chair and away from a wall.

Setting up is simple and you can simply sign in with your google account and away you go all your apps will be there and anything else is on the play store.

This can be left on a table,desk or chair or ceiling mounted as it can be altered in the settings for your preferences and this also means it is portable, even with the Halo+ I was able to bring it on my travels and now with this one even easier and again can be moved between rooms in the house. The MOGO 2 pro also supports power banks which is a huge bonus for those who travel and there is no mains if you are outdoors for example of course in dry weather.

The picture is excellent as you will see on a professional pull down screen and a blank wall I have tested in on in my house and whats more with the auto focus and auto keystone correction which is one of the best I have seen on a projector makes setting it up and moving from room to room a simple process.

Having tested for some time now watching YouTube films on Netflix,Plex Prime and more the quality is great and up there with the last model this has 400 ISO lumens and is bright in comparison to other projectors we have reviewed which is many.

The audio is excellent too with excellent bass but this has no EQ settings on that front, there is picture settings as before and overall you will not be disappointed with the results you get here.

You have a new protect your eye mode mode which means if you walk by the lens you will not get blinded which I often did on the previous model and now that is a thing of the past and works well and should be standard on all projectors.

You can cast to the projector and connect via Bluetooth and use a speaker too which is handy there is all the inputs you need for your consoles too which makes it a very versatile product to use all round not talking up huge space like a TV does and now fits in with my home set-up really well and certainly one to look at if you want a new media viewing experince without the clutter.

SoundPEATS Air5 Pro True Wireless Earbuds Review

The SoundPEATS Air5 Pro True Wireless Earbuds are their latest to hit the shelf and we have been testing these out the last while and it is of course now time to tell you how we got on and with SoundPEATS being a regular here we where impressed at what you get for the price.

The design is familiar here but keeping in line with their product line-up with nice bronze accents to finish them which looks well they have a small stem and look clean and do not stick out which is also nice and do not protrude from the ears much.

They are light fit securely with the right tips and block alot of outside noise out of the box before you even play around with the EQ in their app which we look at along with the settings in the video review below.

The controls work well and can be customised to your needs which is nice and all the features you expect present and both earbuds offer commands and it is then up to you as to what settings you apply.

We again see Hi-Res LDAC with Snapdragon sound here which is good to see at their pricepoint making way for a great audio experience overall with no issues to report, during my usual testing loop no tinny sound noted no lag latency with LE Audio, and aptX Lossless for seamless gaming and streaming which is a win for anyone. With 10mm composite drivers ,highs lows and mids all good and really good bass but the EQ app is where it is at where you can modify to your needs and turn the notch up even more. You also get AI Adaptive Noise Cancellation cuts noise by up to -55dB and the ANC is quite good. Not forgetting transparency mode and normal mode.

We have also multi-point connection which is now a standard these days and this also works well as my reader know I work with a laptop and phone all day and it is standard procedure to test this out and all good including calls. Battery life is good but will vary on the users settings as always the case but expect up to 37 hours without ANC and a ten minutes charge gives you two hours more use. There is also an IPX5 rating so can we worn outdoors for you commute..

HOMEBOT Ireland Spritz Robot Vacuum and Mop review

The HOMEBOT Ireland Spritz Robot Vacuum and Mop is a more affordable offering that is out there and from the brand who has a higher end offering which is good to see with having choice and choice is important rather than offer one off products.

Having tested many of these products over the years this one was somewhat on my mind to see what it can do at the price and it faired out better in some instances as you will see in the video review below than more expensive offerings you find today.

The set-up is simple here with the Smart Life app and takes around 5 minutes to go through the whole app and see what is on offer you can see some screenshots below and again in the video.

The HOMEBOT Ireland Spritz Robot Vacuum and Mop is the average size so for storage it is not a huge issue and once you find a home for it you may as well just leave it sat there as it maps out your rooms you can merge rooms or map two rooms together in the initial set up depending on your home layout etc.

The unit is not too heavy and is easy to move around anyway so for people with the rooms or floors that it can work on upstairs or downstairs will not have issues here.

There is a simple brush mechanism and mop underneath with with a water and power tray that are all easy to remove clean and wash out after use again less hassle than others I have tried before.

Dirt and water tray with cleaning brush and filter

Once you have your personal set-up finished you can further enhance things with managing rooms, scheduling, watch your clean record find your robot do a carpet boost and prevent children tampering with it there is also a remote control option here which many will find cool like a recent lawmower we did it is fun taking control as well as letting it do all the work for you.

The result is better than expected from this model at its price these are coming down in price in general and no a more common sight in people homes these days due to the cost these robotic cleaner started off at silly prices when I started testing them and cost to performance ratio is like alot of tech now coming down meaning you get more for less and in fairness with this model it done the job and left my floors nice and shiny which I did not fully expect and again navigated around complex situations with ease and there is less faffing around with a clunky app.

The SmartLife App

Key Features:

LDS SLAM Navigation System: Experience precision cleaning with the latest LDS SLAM technology, which maps your home for efficient navigation and thorough cleaning.
Smart Mapping & Room Divider: Customize your cleaning process using the app’s map and room divider features. Easily manage and clean specific areas of your home.
Dual Cleaning Modes: Choose between Vacuum only or Vacuum & Mop modes to suit your cleaning needs. Tackle dirt, dust, and spills with ease.
Multi-Floor Mapping: Ideal for multi-storey homes, this robot can save and switch between maps for different floors, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
Obstacle Detection & No-Go Zones: Intelligent sensors detect and avoid obstacles, while the No-Go Zones feature lets you restrict access to sensitive areas.
Auto Carpet Boost: Automatically increases suction power on carpets for a deeper clean, leaving your carpets fresh and debris-free.
Climbs Over Door Saddles: Capable of climbing over door saddles, this robot seamlessly transitions between rooms without getting stuck.

Vodafone Ireland reports 76% year on year growth in device trade-ins

Vodafone Ireland, the leading communications partner to Irish consumers and businesses, today reported a sharp 76% increase in its device trade ins in June, compared to June 2024.

Publishing the data today, Vodafone Ireland reported a ‘record month’ with more customers than ever trading in their old devices and its ‘best week ever’ – one in three customers buying a new handset traded in their old device during the last week of June, demonstrating a growing shift toward responsible tech ownership and more sustainable choices.

Devices are traded in to be recycled, refurbished and reused, while the average trade-in value currently received by customers is €150* per transaction. As a responsible communications partner, the Trade In service is part of Vodafone Ireland’s commitment to sustainability and supporting consumers to make sustainable choices.

Driving Affordability

The Trade-In service allows customers to release the residual value of their devices, which they can then use to reduce the price of a new device, gain store credit to purchase accessories, or opt for the price to come straight off their bill.

This service, pioneered by Vodafone Ireland – another Vodafone first – and launched in 2022, is available to consumers across Vodafone’s 80 retail stores nationwide, with all reporting strong uptake of the initiative. To date, Irish consumers have saved over €8 million through this e-waste service.

This initiative was established to address the increasing challenge of e-waste in Ireland. A recent study estimated that there are 7.3 million unused smartphones** in Irish households, demonstrating the opportunity for trade-in options to see these devices responsibly reused, recycled or repurposed rather than going to waste.

Trade-In

Consumers can trade in their phones, tablets, iPads and smart watches while Vodafone Ireland also accepts devices for responsible recycling, including laptops.

The service offers an effective and tangible solution to Ireland’s e-waste challenge, with every device traded in first securely wiped of data, and then either refurbished for reuse or responsibly recycled — with 0% sent to landfill.

This circular approach prevents valuable materials from going to waste and reduces the carbon footprint associated with manufacturing new devices. By making trade-ins simple and rewarding for Irish consumers, Vodafone Ireland is driving greater consumer participation in the shift towards sustainable and responsible tech ownership.

Earlier this month, Vodafone Ireland was named Best Mobile Operator for the 10th consecutive year by independent benchmarking organisation umlaut, achieving a record-breaking score. The recognition highlights Vodafone’s €500 million five-year investment in network and its role as the connectivity partner to 60% of Irish businesses.

Commenting today, Sabrina Casalta, CEO, Vodafone Ireland said:

“Trade in plays a critical role in driving Vodafone Ireland’s commitment to protecting the planet, as well as offering affordability for our customers. With one in every three customers across our retail stores trading in a handset, we’re delivering on our ambition to tackle e-waste and supporting the circular economy in Ireland. These results are commendable and testament to the efforts of our team, our retail colleagues and also to our customers throughout the country who are taking action.

‘We’ve invested heavily in this campaign since 2022 because we saw an opportunity to make a difference. We encourage Irish consumers to maintain this momentum and continue to support us in tackling e-waste through trading in their device for repair, recycle or repurposing. This is a tangible method to deliver change and make a difference for generations to come.”

Over 2,000 people work with Vodafone in Ireland across its Dublin HQ and 80 retail units across the country while the company has more than 2.3 million customers and growing.
