Since I first heard of this deposit return scheme (DRS) or Re-Turn I immediately said here we go another Green vanity project and no further than the truth it is even after using it after taken me a week to find a machine working with plenty of them around but Lidl since testing has been the one that works most but Tesco need to sort it. I have been highly critical about this naming it #scamcycle on social media. They have claimed to refund 1.2 million and 5.6 million drinks containers have been collected.
This like other issues has been put down to teething issues despite being the technology being around for years because the Green brigade will come back at me with that but being honest I have seen and heard more bad than good, Yes I have seen one or two Green party members who seem to be the biggest spenders in the west going back with two empty cans and saying the my two cans have went through and all is good and the myth is busted, are you going to look like a complete tit and hang around a machine for 30 cent? I think not so I said I would stock em up.
Thus this is the 1st issue here, taking up space babysitting empty effing bottles keeping them in perfect condition which means more storage when in a normal used state would go in the green bin and happy out!!
So we have a two tier recycle system now whereby one can be returned and the rest go in bins at home or in the store, my local Lidl had both and this is said to reduce waste, From what I have seen there is no reduction in waste or rubbish on the street and people are still throwing their cans in the bin by habit so in short they are paying a green tax. I also have seen staff from recycling companies going in with black bags full of cans so that is another matter. Also note there is still stores charging the deposit whilst the logo is not on it and that will be taken up another time,but according to Re-Turn in time if you still have them you will get your money back.
An exemption notice that should be but is not displayed in all stores rendering this a complete waste of people’s time making them travel more..
OK so I had 123 items and three was refused which in fairness is not bad but one thing I did purposely was leave stones in a can to see if they are weighed and it seems so which can be seen in the video below of what I ran through the machine, they turfed it out saying it needs to be empty with the other two that gave no reason, all my cans where sporting the Re-Turn logo. I ran several sized items just to be sure and it took me almost 30 flaming minutes by the way.
Samples used for the Deposit Return Scheme
People will argue that you can just return them when you go back to the shop you bought them well this is far from reality when half the local shops have not got a deposit return machine and most of them told me they are not getting one and they are not obliged to have one, so does that mean people will stop going to their local and just buy their soft drinks etc from shops that have these contraptions that take up space use electricity then costs to pay a driver to empty them which needs a van to collect them that are not electric and run on diesel, I think not on this either here is where the Greens will argue saying it creates jobs.
Yes it might create jobs but the whole idea is counterproductive costing retailers money, valuable space and putting more vehicles on the road which the Greens are trying to cut out and passively active on us buying EVs which again is another matter for the car experts which we don’t need to find out why the arse is falling out of EVs with the value dropping big time.
The machines themselves are big and as stated take up retail space which is valuable they cost money to run and staff, the technology seems simple enough whereby you put your can in bottom first on a conveyor belt and it gets scanned and on occasions decides some are not good enough despite being perfectly fine.
Tesco being the most notorious for not working
Lidl has been better on having working machines
Next test will the the reverse vending machine or RVM where things are slightly different and again makes things harder when your empty cans where going in the Green bin at home and you can only spend the voucher in the shop purchased. Another thing that is annoying many online retail stores like Tesco and Dunnes and take-aways etc are exempt from this and for example out having breakfast the other day with my family and the diner would not give me back my money and do you think for a minute we are all going to walk back to the car like plebs with empty cans??
Overall this is just making us take up more space storing and babysitting empty bottles and cans it is costing other people money taking up shop space using more electricity and for the most we all just tossed these into a bin at home and now it entails us finding storage and then the time to stand there and wreck your knees in a shop like an eejit just to get your deposit back and by habit I do not see this coming to fruition across the country by default when you look a the system in its entirety.
I might be wrong but let’s see, I see it as a tax. You can look at this as a rant or review but it is my genuine 2 cents worth. It is a scam. Re active in many cases with exemptions making you travel more to do what you could already do in your green bin #scamcycle
I will be updating this as time goes on and you can decide for yourself and lets see if our bin charges comes down. but alas a few months later they are going up. You have less waste now they want more money. It is a scam.
The packing is nice and come with Apple like peel tabs on the back which is kinda cool if you ask me and then the contents are revealed you get a plug inside and our review unit came with a US plug but it will be available with EU plugs.
Inside the box after we take the peel tabs off we get a three pack of heads which are all different then a braided cable which is proprietary of course and it does have a strong magnet to attach to the brush which is great to see.
The build of the toothbrush itself is solid and in line with other brands but feels more premium there is one button up top which allows you to change modes and power/on off etc but there is a controls on the app which is really neat it must be said you can see the screenshots below and of course in the video review at the end.
So you can either use the toothbrush soft touch buttons or the app to control it and I prefer to use the app as it is what I tend to do with tech and reviewing products but using the touch buttons is no different all works well and simple to use.
For me after using this for two weeks I can see a clear difference with this it is easily the best toothbrush I have tested out over the years with almost an immediate difference, I smoke and drink coke and often have stains and this lifts them almost straight away and faster results over others I have tried some double the price or more, the only thing is I would say be careful if on high intensity and the stem hits your teeth as it is strong and that is testament to how good the vibration is and how well this works, for the money I would easily pick this over an Oral B which is the main contender here in Ireland at multiple price points and some heading up to 800 euro or more this does the job end of story and I will stand over it and it is not often I would put my reputation on the line for a product especially at this price.

The Conambo K10C Bluetooth Headset is one of several variants on offer from the company and ideal for those who work at home, the office or those who drive for a living.
On the headset there is an array of controls to get things done, now there is several variants of this model do do check what suits you best as some features might mean more to some than others, this one is missing skip and reverse tracks for instance and a digital display and distance is less on connectivity.
The device will work on both Android and iOS platforms and there is no app to install so it is a basic Bluetooth connection and you are good to go, there is call control music control though limited and you can access your voice assistant.
Speaking of the controls they are well placed and very tactile and easy to navigate after a few minutes use we go through them all in the video review below. You can higher and lower the volume here and play and pause tracks.
The call quality is excellent and the volume is loud and not often I see a headset with the volume being so loud which is good to see, the calls a crisp no issues indoors or outdoors and again for music it is simple and clean so you can listen to tracks on the go and take calls but you are using one ear which is a good thing for hearing your surroundings.
Overall an inexpensive headset to have at your disposal with decent battery life and does a decent job overall with the features on board and as mentioned there is several variants available which is a good thing for those who are feature dependent.

With another new collaboration from Skullcandy we have the latest Skullcandy X TMNT push active earbuds which comes in a Green themed case as was before and slightly larger than others only this time this one looks better and stands out which looks cool. It has a nice finish and feel to the case and non slippy which is helpful due to its size but still this case gives you up to 44 hours of battery life and you have got rapid charge built in via USB – C
We have reviewed these before with the first Push Active Skull-IQ and with the Burton X and nothing has changed really only this time you get the TMNT branding on board here and for those who remember them as kids will certainly want to check these out.
These also fit really well too and have over ear hooks that goes around the ear and will not fall out of your ears,even for the most active folk and can be worn jogging or in the gym, there is one button on each side for controls but they have a new trick up their sleeve and buttons do not have to be used at all and you can just say “Hey Skullcandy” to do what you need them to do, more on this in the video below you need to see this in action it has been one of my favourite features on earbuds and yet not seen too much in the detail you get here and what you can get done with no hands required.
There is no ANC but this is fine with the really secure fit you will not hear much going on outside anyway unless outdoors in a noisy environment, with my ususal test loop they performed really well, highs lows and mids are fine and a good balance overall and then you have the app to play around with too with the EQ settings and also edit the button controls too which is excellent.The app has now more features this time around too which is a nice addition and good to see them improving as time goes on.
Check the video review below for a more in depth look.
Overall these are something we have seen before more than once but what is great with these and Skullcandy is their collabs they are getting giving your headphones earbuds and more a twist that not many will have and if you are a teenage mutant ninja turtle fan why not treat yourself.
The CHIVALZ Air Purifiers are a simple to use product to keep your home smelling fresh and give you clean air, we have the two pack configuration here and tested in two areas in the house one being a hallway and which is central in the home and my own bedroom, this product uses 3-in-1 Filtration with the combination of the H13 True HEPA Filter and high-efficiency activated carbon filter effectively filtration of dust, smoke, pollen, pet dander and unpleasant smells.
The unit itself is about the size of a projector or speaker and not too cumbersome to be placed in your home there is plenty of precautionary measures to ensure safe use which you can see in the video review below.
On the front there is one button which controls the unit, there is no app but the one click operation as they call is quite sufficient and simple to use in fairness and you can set it on a timer if you wish and it is best to use with windows closed in the desired room to get the job done efficiently.
These can cover a large area which is good in one sense so two could to the entire home if your build allows it, there is several modes to pick and the full speed one is on the noisy side but the sleep mode is fine in fairness and will not disturb you trying to sleep again you can see this in the video below.
Overall it is a nice product that is simple to use and set up and just leave it there to do its job giving you clean air and a nice fresh smell in your home and is cost effective doing several jobs at once. After testing it here for two weeks I am happy with the result knowing the air I breathe is better and you can pick your own flavours of smell and not only that they are energy efficient.

The Edifier Hecate GX05 Ultra-Low Latency TWS gaming earbuds are a product that looks like you would find in a sci-fri film and that is not a bad thing either so for the looks alone they get a ten out of ten there in my book but what else do these have and who are they for exactly.
Ok so out of the box these look great in every respect, the look and feel is screaming premium here and that includes the package in a nice solid hard case with a nice lock thrown in, inside you get your cables tips dust caps and a nice carry pouch to store it all in so another win here.
As described up top the case is one to behold with a weighty feel and a nice solid click everytime you turn it this is a piece of art and one of if not the best cases I have seen to date. Also on the underside of the case is a MFB to control the RGB lights which gives a nice effect, these is also lights on the earbuds which can be turned on/off.
The earbuds themselves are also slightly different with their shape but fit well in the ears and look good there is a decent seal and there extra tips provided in the box there is no ANC here or access to the connect app which is disappointing however these are not aimed at music and I get it but still would of been nice so I will let them away with it this time.
The earbuds as mentioned are for gamers with dual connectivity via BT or the dongle provided in the box went with the dongle route and tested on Xbox PS5 and of course my phone, I am not one to spend hours gaming but when I do I like to have good quality tech to do so and these do well in that respect but also in fairness not so bad on listening to music in general.
You have some controls of course but missing some features again these are features more so related to music you can manage call on them you can also manage the lights the modes, play and pause and skip and reverse tracks which is fine. There is no voice assistant or volume control on them.
On the gaming from they set out what they aim to do putting you right in the game you are playing not missing a beat, you will find it hard to get zero latency on earbuds but we are getting there and these are a step in the right direction.
Sound is great powered by Hi-Res Audio with 10mm drivers on board under the Hecate name which is Edifiers professional audio brand for gamers and a new one to me too, on the music from highs lows and mids all came across fine and some bass in there there was no latency on audio on listening to my usual test tracks the audio was crisp and clear and you do have modes to change the audio like gaming and music mode, On a gaming front as mentioned it is excellent putting you in the centre not missing footsteps directional sound and so on making it an enjoyable experience overall.

The Skullcandy GROM Wireless headphones for kids are a new range of headphones that also come in a wired version for kids that want the best in audio and simplicity to use with no fuss and these super lightweight headphones do all this and keep it simple. They are very comfortable to wear too by the way and no clamping effect like some headphones suffer with.
The presentation is as we expect from Skullcandy and that is one that will stand out and kept simple too and the same for inside the box with some leaflets cables and we also get some stickers now which is nice and destined for my new laptop.
The headphones could not be easier to use with all the controls on one side and you can tap the cup to make some commands which is super simple and means no buttons for kids to be fooling around with, I like this idea and we have seen gesture controlled headphones before but this idea work just as well. You also have a port to share your audio with someone else too which is neat.
All the controls are on one side of which allows you to pair up, use your voice assistant skip and reverse tracks and volume control you can also control your calls here too. With the volume wheel you can override the volume and you need to give a slightly more hard push to move it along and get to the max volume which is decent and of course safe protecting kids ears.
There is no app here again kept simple and they just connect via Bluetooth and job done if you run out of juice you can still use the traditional route of the 3.5mm cable provided in the box.
When it comes to sound well they are for kids and I have to take into consideration my thoughts and the thoughts of others and being honest it is perfectly fine and with the Skullcandy signature sound kids will not be disappointed and the music is crisp and clear with no distortion or lag latency noted during my testing, highs lows and mids all fine too and any genre of music will sound great and for all the family and relations kids that tested them where happy.
Check the video below for all the details and how to use the latest kids headphones from Skullcandy.
