Does the job. Saved me from buying a new TV – My TV is old, circa 2004. I haven't been able to get many digital channels with my old set top box. I was close to buying a new Smart TV but could not bear to throw a working TV…

away. Instead of spending over $1000, this $39 set top box did the trick. Now I can get all the digital channels which is what I wanted it for. I haven't used the record function. The remote is a little small but I am satisfied with the set top box. The only thing now is it keeps popping up with "software update" on the TV screen, even though I have updated it already. The set top is nice and small and doesn't take up a lot of space. Easy to setup.

OK but not overwhelmed by performance – Having recently changed modems for the NBN, I discovered my 3 storey townhouse now had weak wifi signal upstairs. I was going to buy a wifi extender but decided to try the wifi…

mesh system that is supposed to be much better and looks much nicer. I chose the Tenda MW5 as it wasn't as expensive and I could get it from Officeworks within 1 day. There is a quick installation guide which I found a little confusing. You download the app to set it up. In fact, you don't need to download the app at all. A simpler method is to connect the primary node to your modem and then turn it on. Once the green light stops flashing, you can plug in the other nodes in whatever room you want and that's it. The network is setup. Just log on. However, I have found it does drop out now and again and I have to switch the wifi off on my device and re-connect to get the connection stable again. My upload and download speed is also reduced by about 5mps. For downloads, this is not too bad but when my upload speed is normally 5mps anyway, it is reduced to almost zero. It does provide signal to the upper rooms of my townhouse but I am not overwhelmed with performance. I feel like I should have just got a rabbit ear wifi extender.

Easy, fast and hassle free – My adsl was playing up. NBN had just come to my area and I was recommended by a friend about Mate NBN. The price for the plan was good with no lock-in contracts. I signed up…

online. The website was easy to understand and navigate. They kept me informed every step of the way and I was connected in less than 1 week. Considering the COVID-19 situation, I was impressed to be connected so quickly. NBN installation was arranged. Took them half an hour to connect the NBN. Plugged in the modem and I was away. Speed is very close to 25mps. No issues so far. Very happy and makes working from home less stressful with a reliable connection.

Cute and portable. Does the job – Have been missing my lattes since having to work from home and staying inside due to Covid-19 rules. So I decided I needed a coffee machine. Except I don't have the bench space…

and I was not happy with my french press coffee. I bought this little gadget and I am quite happy with it. Now that I have the ratio of milk to coffee right, I am impressed and I am saving money buying lattes everyday. It can be a little messy using coffee grounds when you pull it apart to clean it, but you can buy an adapter so you can use coffee capsules instead. You do need to press the button a number of times to get your expresso portion but it is not hard. I am pleased with my purchase and happy with the taste of the coffee that I can achieve with it. I love that it is portable and I can store it away easily in the drawer.

Decent phone if you don't need fancy features – I bought this for my dad who is not very savvy with technology. Works well browsing the internet. Battery life is good. The default app for sending messages has green font that…

makes it hard to read. Tried to use the google app and set as default but periodically keeps reverting to the factory installed app. The cloning phone function is great to transfer all your apps, phone numbers and photos across. Otherwise, good for a budget phone.
