Jartoo – World’s First Carbon Nanotube Heated Blanket Review

A new kind of tech product has dropped in for review and it is the Jartoo Heated Blanket is a fusion of innovation, safety, and sustainability, designed for eco-conscious and tech-savvy consumers. It’s not just a heating solution—it’s a step toward smarter, healthier living.

What this offers users is much more than one might expect and even for me as I got a brief introduction to it but this Blanker offers far Infrared Heating, Promotes blood circulation, muscle relaxation, and overall wellness, with a 24V Low-Voltage System that eliminates electric shock risks, even with spills or pet damage.

It is also Eco-Friendly & Energy Efficient and Uses 60% less energy than traditional electric blankets and Machine Washable & Lightweight: Perfect for families and on-the-go use. All with Carbon Nanotube Technology and Delivers rapid, even heat without bulk or safety concerns.

The presentation is excellent and you get all you need in the box including cables a remote and a travel bag which is convenient, the remote has several controls on board and simple to pair up if not paired out of the box.

The blanket itself is luxurious so to speak with a soft feel all round, house in the blanket there is a button and charge port behind the zipper which is kept safe when not in use.

The button will change colour on your settings and this gets warm fairly fast from as little as 30 seconds so you will be warm in no time at all here.

Be it used as a blanket or snood you will feel relaxed and the soft material which is washable and the fabric is tough so this will last for many years use.

Not only all this but it saves you on your electricity bill which in Ireland is gone beyond a joke so this is an added bonus compared to other heated blankets on the market.

Check out the video review below for more and yes you see it in hand and me wearing it.

 

 

  • More Peace of Mind: The Jartoo nano heated blanket incorporates multiple advanced safety circuit protection technologies. Despite being powered by 120V-240V AC, it outputs only 24V—well below the 36V safety threshold, making it safer for both children and the elderly. Even in the event of localized damage, there is no risk of electric leakage, ensuring absolute safety protection.
  • More Energy-Efficient: Achieves far-infrared rapid heating in just 30s with a power consumption of only 70W—60% more energy-efficient than other heated throw blankets, saving approximately 1 kWh per day. Far-infrared technology delivers deeper, more soothing warmth for enhanced comfort and relaxation.
  • More Comfort without Wires: Ultra-soft nano heating material and 320gsm velvet fabric ensures the Jartoo electric throw blanket feels soft and perfectly conforms to your body, eliminating the stiffness and discomfort of wires. It is easy to carry, can be used on bed, sofa, office, and also great for outdoor traveling.
  • More Convenient to Clean: The innovative nano heating material, with a structural strength 100x that of steel, ensures exceptional durability. Unlike traditional heated shawl, it won’t get damaged during washing or drying, and even pets can hardly damage it. Clean and dry with confidence (recommended drying below 149°F).
  • More Practical: The portable electric blanket comes with a separate wireless remote to adjust 6 temperature levels (95°F-131°F) and 5 timer settings (2h intervals, up to 10h). You can also control the temperature directly using the buttons on the electric blanket.

Oclean X Pro Elite Sonic Toothbrush Review

The Oclean X Pro Elite Sonic Toothbrush is their latest on offer and comes in at an affordable price too in comparison to other well known brands on the market some time ago we checked out the X10 toothbrush and now it is time to go to their Pro Elite premium set this time around.

The package comes well presented and packed with everything you need including a carry bag, wireless charge a wall mount and of course extra brushes which is handy and you now have an app to help you along with your dental routine.

With the app can select tooth grade and programmes for your needs and the AI will even suggest plans for you based on your brushing and gives you a breakdown of your cleaning habits which is cool and I put to the test myself and shows in a 3D image where needs attention. It effectively gives you a health report on your brushing

As for a user experience with cleaning is it good you ask. Well yes we are habitual creatures and with a regular toothbrush it is boring with a smart one it seems longer than the time you assign, two minutes for example seems a lifetime but the thing is with the programmes you get it done as stay at it till the brush switches off which it does however there is no warning as to when the time is up like say a 10 second warning beep to let you know your hard work has been done. There is 4 different modes and 32 different intensities with a cool sounding maglev motor.

The grip on the toothbrush is quite nice with a sandstone feel to it so it wont slip out of hand and leaves no mess when finished and a simple rinse cleans it off.

There is a small touch sensitive display on the toothbrush which is hand to change modes and settings on the fly you can of course use the app for a more detailed look though for your personal needs.

Overall this toothbrush is quite good it is not as noisy as others here that I have and cost more and it coaches you into a better mouth hygiene regime pushing you to miss the places with a report each time it is used this is a great feature to have for me rather than be stuck in typical routine with a regular boring toothbrush this gives you insights encourages you to break old habits and of course leaves your teeth clean which feels and looks good and has a great battery life.

The App 

 

 

 

 

 

  • Smart Screen-Brushing Result Instant Display
  • Ultra-Quiet Technology (<45dB)
  • 84,000 Movements/min Maglev Motor
  • 4 Modes and 32 Intensities for Clean Mode
  • Brushing Plan Customization APP

Kingston IronKey Locker+ 50 USB Flash Drive Review

The Kingston IronKey Locker+ 50 USB Flash Drive comes in several storage options to suit one’s personal needs these range from 32GB to 256GB which is what we have here today.

Flash drives are ten a penny these days but security is vital today with what we store and now with GDPR laws encryption is vital in any business and indeed personal use.

We have review many brands in the past like iStorage for example who seem to have vanished since we seen them last but Kingston offer similar products here too and again many other brands we have covered in this category of tech.

This USB Flash drive is built well with a nice finish that stands out and also has an LED light on board to show when it is in use. The build quality alone sets it apart from plastic housed devices out there and also you can attach to your keyring if required.

The set up is relatively simple here and a much simpler process than others there is a complex or passphrase mode here also an admin mode for others to access which is not the case for us here it is just me that will use it. You can see how this works in the video review below it is simple to be honest and not a complex process. You can also hide your password whilst typing which is hand for several obvious security reasons.

The LP50 comes with the latest AES hardware encryption and XTS mode and stops brute force attacks.

 

You can also back up direct to cloud with a pop up every time you use it  if not chosen from the start this is handy to have and supports several platforms such as box and google drive which would suit many again you can see this in the video review below.

Performance is fine here for a USB key with no issues swapping files across and back in no time and works well on all laptops I have here during testing overall a simple handy effective gadget to have to keep your data safe where it should be.

Features
  • XTS-AES Encryption with Brute Force and BadUSB Attack Protection
  • Multi-Password (Admin and User) Option with Complex/Passphrase modes
  • New Passphrase Mode
  • Automatic Personal Cloud Backup
  • Additional Security Features
  • 256GB
  • USB 3.2 Gen 1
  • 115.0 write speed

TOZO Open EarRing Wireless Open Ear Headphones Review

The TOZO Open EarRing Wireless Open Ear Headphones are their latest on offer with a nice new design that is now starting to catch on with earbud manufacturers.

On first look most people ask what are these and I tell them these are the new style of earbuds you can expect to see in the shops going forward and do not knock them as i did before until you try them they will surprise you folks.

The fit is really good despite how they look and settle well in the ears and are super clean with their looks and not to obtrusive even with the design.

Once in the ears they remain there and are solid to be fair and they do get people’s attention which is a good thing. You need not worry about them falling out on light exercise.

They come in a cool case with a display letting you know what battery life is left and that is handy even though the app can tell you this but still I love cases with displays on them.

Battery life is decent and this will vary due to the settings used and volume etc and everyone is different here with their use case. the app again is great and TOZO deliver once again.

The sound it better than I expected too given these do not go right into your ears unlike traditional earbuds but the sound was excellent and with the app you can customize it even more which is great, the highs lows and mids all good nice bass nice volumes and overall the sound for me is good with no tinny sound or lag latency noted and calls great too on both ends.

Overall if you are in the market for new earbuds with a new style check these out and if you are a TOZO fan well you know how they rock and fans will be happy.

 

Key features include:

  • 40H Playtime: Keep the music going all day long with up to 40 hours of continuous playback.
  • IPX5 Waterproof: Whether you’re sweating it out at the gym or caught in the rain, these headphones are built to withstand it all.
  • Bluetooth 5.4: Enjoy stable, fast, and efficient connections with the latest Bluetooth technology.
  • Smart Digital Display: Stay informed with the sleek display that shows battery status and connection details at a glance.
  • Custom EQ via App: Tailor the sound to your preferences with a customizable equalizer, giving you a personalized listening experience like never before.

Edifier Comfo C open-ear clip-on earbuds review

The Edifier Comfo C open-ear clip-on earbuds have been in my ears for a bit now and their latest earbud design which is catching on in the market does not disappoint.

Again this is a new style of earbuds now gaining traction in the market and we have tried several to date and these are now getting better each pair we test out.

The presentation is standard here and all you need is in the box and kept simple as always.

The fit is one concern people ask me with these new clip-on earbuds and they fit rather well as any other pair we have reviewed over the last few months and they are secure you can go jogging go to the gym and cycle with these on and with not being a full on in ear earbud you can hear your surroundings which is perfect for those on the move.

They are also comfortable to wear given their design you can wear for hours on end and like any other earbud you will forget they are there in no time.

The sound is quite good here with their 12mm drivers and expected from Edifier and they pack a punch you also have their app to tune things up a little more and now with app access with these earbuds they are getting better and almost like a true in-ear experience most people are custom to these days.

With access to the EDIFIER ConneX App y0u get additional functions: drainage function, personalize control settings, find your earbuds, and some EQ functions making them more favourable over ones out there with no app access.

Highs lows and mids all good no tinny sound no lag latency great bass and decent volume can be had here which is great, you can play/pause skip/reverse tracks basically all you need is here apart from ANC.

You also have decent battery life and calls have been clear on my testing they also have an IP56 rating and overall there is nothing to complain about here and I love the colour we got to checkout see more in the video review below on what to expect.

TOZO PA2 Bluetooth Portable Sports Speaker Review

The TOZO PA2 Bluetooth Portable Sports Speaker is their latest on offer and if anything is to go by with their last model the PA1 this one we looked forward to testing out and it did not disappoint at all it has to be said.

With a design that has changed from the PA1 we checkout before I think this one is better and the colour we reviewed more so and it stands out and looks great.

With the array of keys up top you have all the controls required you have also access to your voice assistant, on top you can play and pause tracks pair with a second speaker and higher and lower the volume you can also skip tracks here and you have an EQ button which I strongly suggest you try out.

With access to the app you have even more at hand which is excellent and let me tell you this speaker packs a punch for its size with dual full range drivers which you can here many samples of below in the video review it packs a serious punch sounds excellent no matter the genre and you will be pleasantly surprised.

There is no sd card slot here which is no big deal and the buttons on top are tactile it is waterproof so trips to the beach or going in holidays is sorted and great battery life on board too with around 25 hours playback in total depending on you settings there is lots to pick from in the app which we also go through in the video below.

iWALK LinkPod Reel 10,000mAh 30W powerbank review

The iWALK LinkPod Reel 10,000mAh powerbank is a handy portable kit to have at home or the office and of course travel which will fit in most pockets and travel bags and if you are someone like me who is on the go with multiple devices this is a must have and convenient.

You can charge up to three devices at once such as earbuds tablets phones laptops and much more and with 10,000mAh of juice inside you are good to go for days depending on your on personal gear on your person.

It looks cool too like a music player of sorts and has a digital display up top to inform you of what power is left, which is quite handy it has bi directional charging and pass through charging making it more efficient and can be used whilst it is charging itself again handy.

It has 30W PD charging on deck with three outputs and so you can also share with others if needed, the party trick with this is the retractable cable on board which means you cant loose it as cables are a thing that go missing all the time and perhaps in their next model they could offer more than one cable and this would be an excellent idea going forward meaning less cables to worry about and go missing.

Check the video below for more and a hands on look.

 

 

 

  • 70cm/27.5 inches/2.3ft Retractable USB-C Cable: iWALK LinkPod Reel power bank is equipped with a built-in retractable cable. Adjustable cable length, charge easier with Reel. Say goodbye to tangled cables and a messy charging environments.

Bandletic R-Lite Apple Watch Band Review

The Bandletic R-Lite Apple Watch Band is one to check out if you need a new strap for your Apple watch, many people just stick to the one band but many like me have quite a collection of bands which is nice to change out over the course of a year.

This band is two tone and skin friendly and looks good and clips on and off with wase there is a buckle feature on the strap which gives it more security over just the usual magnetic wrap around we see lots of out there today.

They call this a dual security system which works well and their magnets are also stronger than others I have tested before.

The strap is comfortable to wear even if you are into sports and remains secure with upgraded silicon it also allows your skin breathe better.

The strap will suit many of the Apple watch range and there is a selection of colours and other offerings from the brand and affordable.

Check out the video review below for a hands on look..

 

 

  • Dual Security System Design: Bandletic magnetic watch band for men combines a magnetic and Pin-and-Tuck closure, equipped with upgraded N54 magnets (20%-50% stronger). This unique dual-safety design makes sure that your smart watch will stay securely in place and won’t fall off, whether you’re running, working out, doing intense training, or enjoying outdoor activities like camping and hiking
  • Premium Comfort & Durability: Compatible with Apple Watch Bands, these loop straps are made of upgraded silicone, not only soft, comfortable and skin-friendly but also waterproof. You can wear it comfortably all day long, be it in rainy weather or at various occasions like workout, office work, parties, or business meetings. It’s highly scratch-resistant, wear-resistant, and easy to clean, maintaining its pristine look even with regular use

It also comes in multiple colors, including dual-tone options like black/orange, black/pink, white/pink and classic colors such as black, starlight, etc. It can effortlessly match any outfit or occasion, showcasing your personality and charm. Housed in an elegant package, it is an ideal gift for your husband, wife, parents, and friends

For those who frequently change watch bands and are fond of sports and fitness, this is the perfect choice

SoundPEATS POP Clip Review

The SoundPEATS POP Clip has just launched and we had some time to test them beforehand and again with this new clip on ear design I mentioned before we will see more off and this time from SoundPEATS.

The build quality is excellent and robust here as most of these type of earbuds offer a stable hold in the ears some have said on reviewing other similar clip-on earbuds they would fall out but this is not the cas once secured they stay put.

These have an extra benefit over others for some having a button control each side rather than a touch sensitive area giving you more accurate control and less false inputs which is great although thumb memory is key with any new earbuds but buttons do help for some who are not so much into gesture/touch based ones.

Sound is excellent here with the 10.8mm dual  magnet drivers and with the app you get plenty more this time around in the new Peats Audio app which now comes with tracking and gives an audible alert, you can select the controls here to suit your needs and change up the audio with the EQ settings on board we go through this in the video review below and show you what is on offer.

There is an audio test which you should complete to get the best experience it does not take long to do and I always advise this with new earbuds. You also get the choice to have your own custom EQ too which is great but do check out all the other offerings in the app.

There was no lag latency noted or tinny sound when turned up the max which is how it should be and given these do not sit right in your ear canal they still deliver an almost in-ear earbud experience but you also get to hear your surroundings which is good for those who cycle or walk, calls also quite clear to an no issues either end on my testing.

Having tested other products from the brand before the Movie mode is my favourite EQ here so do check this out, another additional feature here with the these left and right sides have automatic adaption so it means it does not matter which side is which when removing or replacing them from the case.
