You searched for a USB cassette converter picturing a lead into your laptop. The KLIM K7 works the other way round, and for a shoebox of old tapes that turns out to be the easier route.

A cheap all-in-one will get your records onto your phone by teatime. Whether it should ever touch a 1970s pressing is the question this Audio-Technica answers.

The person wearing these is often not the person buying them, and that changes the questions. Will it work on their television? Can they operate it alone? Will you be back round next Sunday to fix it? Here is what 100 UK reviews and nine listing images actually answer, including the two five-star ratings left by people who had not got it working yet.

Eightree promises this one will not block your other socket. The photo they use to prove it is staged on an extension lead, not a wall socket. Two reviewers took it to a real UK twin socket and reported back on the switch, and one of them also flagged the compromise that only shows up once you fit two side by side.

Eighty-two of the hundred most recent buyers gave this portable Type 2 lead five stars. Ten gave it one. The gap between those two camps is not random, and the listing's own small print explains more of it than you would expect.

You searched for the ethernet port. The 100 most recent owners barely raise it. What they argue about instead is screens, and that is where this Anker dock draws a hard line.

Open-ear headphones that let you hear the traffic sound like a runner's dream, and for the most part the OpenMove delivers. The question is whether Shokz's cheapest pair fits your head and lasts the distance, or whether your money is better spent a rung up the range.

Old radiators, an older valve body underneath, and the suspicion that nothing smart will screw onto either. SONOFF's TRVZB answers that in a single bullet point, then hands you a much bigger question about what you plug it into.

The router is downstairs, your PC is two brick walls away, and the signal barely arrives. A high-gain USB dongle fixes one end of that problem and leaves the other alone. Here is where the TP-Link Archer TX20UH helps, and where you actually want a mesh instead.

Search for a split keyboard and you picture two halves you can shove apart to shoulder width. Arteck's is one moulded arch that never separates, and for plenty of sore wrists that turns out to be fine. The catches sit elsewhere: three of the thirteen reviewers I read call it Bluetooth when the listing never does, and the most useful thing on the whole page is a four-star review arguing it is the wrong keyboard.

Thirteen reviews are readable on this listing. One of them is about a water bottle, one is about the 75m version, and the most upvoted one describes a crimp tool that does not come in the box. Strip those out and three buyers are left who actually ran this thing down a garden. They are worth the trip.

Two people fit the same aerial in the same kind of loft. One retunes, finds 150-odd channels and forgets about it. The other gets a blank screen and puts the word rubbish in a review title. The gap between them is almost never the aerial.
