With NHS Dentists in the UK being as common as Unicorns these days, you have to take your dental care into your own hands.

I wasn't sure that spending so much on a toothbrush would be worth it but the results speak for themselves.

The IO range is difficult to navigate as they have multiple models which all look the same. The IO7 seems to be the first of the more premium IO models. It's stand out features compared to the io6 and below are:

A faster charger (just 3 hours!) which is also magnetic and looks much nicer than those older white chargers with them stem. This is why I chose this over the io6

A screen to help choose your cleaning mode and provides feedback on your brushing. This is good for menu navigation but the smiley faces are bit of a gimmick.

Otherwise you get an extra cleaning mode but all these really do is make the brush spin faster or slower or in a different pattern.

In terms of the core cleaning capability, this should have the same cleaning power as the more expensive models. You're just missing out on a dedicated tongue cleaning mode and more accurate tracking capabilities in the Oral-B app which I personally have no interest in. The app is fun to try once but gets old very quickly.

In terms of brushing performance, this really is next level. You actually do get that 'just been to the hygienist' smooth tooth feeling after every brush. The powerful motor and the excellent brush heads really do a great job. I wouldn't want to use anything else now.

The brush heads will need to be replaced every three months and can appear quite expensive but when the clean is this good, they're worth paying for.

Highly recommended.

Really good. Abit sticky like all lubes but easily washable, and doesn't seem to stain bedding. Lasts a while before needing more too which is good.
Easily use able due to the cap 👍🏼
Alot better than some of the other lubes we have tried,& this one doesn't burn like some others we tried of ebay 🔥😬

However

We still haven't used it for its intended use.. my missus needs to "grow a pair"
Might be something todo with previous experiences with other lubes as mentioned..
I However am not convinced.

Will buy again, once we've used it up that is.. could be a while at this rate

This paddling pool is great!! I got it for my children (I do also have a dog too), my son who is two loves it and it’s so great how you don’t need to pump it up! Literally just set it up and start filling and then once you’re done, use the valve to empty it! We filled it with water, balls and diggers and it was amazing sensory play and kept him entertained in the sun for hours! Definitely recommend!

This vacuum has a versatile design that allows you to transform it from a traditional upright standing vacuum into a more compact size that you can move around with easier, making hard to reach areas areas easier to clean. The particular model I received is the pet variant, which includes a couple of extra attachments that makes pulling up pet hairs from sofas and carpets easier. The vacuum uses a different type of roller style that has a guard built in the stops hairs from tangling too much in the brushes, making them easier to remove if they do get clogged up. On the front of the vacuum are some LED lights that come in very useful when you're cleaning behind the sofa.

This is great set, although rather similar to another police station set that I had recently. I think Lego put out quite a few of the same sets these days with not much variation between them. That aside, I got this for my nieces ever growing Lego City collection and she loves it.

There are quite a few figures included with this set including a couple of dogs, along with a few vehicles too. The set itself is comprised of several buildings that all piece together to create one big set. As with many of the other big sets the pieces are in numbered bags and you build each part of the set individually, which makes it easier if younger ones are constructing it.

There's quite a lot to this set in terms of the number of figures and the different rooms that make up the overall build. RRP is about £90 with Amazon selling at the moment for £75 which seems a little steep for what you get and the fact that this is a Lego own set and not a licenced set.

This is a good city builder but at half a decade old it shows its age. They have made any updates to the engine or base game despite newer hardware being available.

The game props itself up with the modding community. The most obvious example being the need for a mod to buy more than 8 tiles building tiles (which is at most 20 percent of the visible map.) BigCity on the workshop by sankai expands this to 25 tiles. Despite mods being abundant, the developers locked borderline essentials behind DLC. Parklife and Game Day come to the top of my head as egregious examples. It's up to $200 for the bundle with all current DLC. As far as I am concerned, if the DLC costs twice as much as the base game, it's time for a new game. No one likes throwing money at software from 2016.

Adding in the launcher is an obvious issue that others have covered better than I could. There are now more intriguing options by smaller developers that are better priced, take advantage of newer hardware, and do not rely on predatory DLC. I do not recommend paying full-price for this game in 2021.

Spec Ops is good. Campaign is good. Multiplayer is a good nostalgia trip until you get hit by a grenade launcher from halfway across the map.

This is still one of the best, if not the best Call of Duty of all time. But unfortunately this isn't enjoyable to play anymore (at least in 2018+) - By the time I realized that VAC isn't that good at filtering out unfair players (at least in MW3). Almost every 4th match I have run over a cheater, modder or whatever you wanna call them. I got the feelings that VAC isn't even active anymore for this game... byside the fact I see no reason why Valve should turn VAC offline. I've also heared that it's Activision themselves who still ban cheaters (at least when they perform too obvious).
So for me personally, it isn't enjoyable anymore which DOESN'T mean it's unplayable. You can still get some rounds with no cheaters ofc. where you can have your fun.
All in all I have to say that it's not worth to buy anymore. The gameplay-quality isn't the same as it was - which also means it isn't worth 20 Euros!
