‘It’s always a good idea not to stack up too many appliances on a single outlet with junction boxes, although as long as the house and the appliances have the correct fuses, potential for accidents is minimised.’ 

South Africa stuck to the three-pronged plugs, however. This was partly due to the fact that American light switches were by then adopted here, which only fitted into what became known as 2×4 and 4×4 boxes – which were also the right size for the big British sockets, says Buyst.

Upon opening the box and gleefully removing the contents, I was rather shocked that no solar panels were included. In the interest of providing a more comprehensive review, I contacted The Gadgeteer’s Owner/Editor and Gadget Guru, Julie, and agreed to purchase an accompanying 60-watt solar panel.

Good Housekeeping did a survey of travel hair dryers and recommends the $14.99 Conair Minipro, which is dual-voltage and cheaper than a transformer. There aren’t a lot of good reviews of flat irons out there, but the well-reviewed HSI Professional 1 is dual-voltage and only $40 on Amazon.

The Dandelion comes with rotating swivels (rather than the button mechanism used by the Zendure Passport adapter) in order to bring forward different prong configurations. That allows the adapter to remain extremely tidy and compact, all while featuring multiple built-in attachments that allow it to work across 150 countries. Moreover, the Dandelion comes with a carrying case, which is just as sleek as the device itself, making it easy to keep organized in your luggage.

“My other purpose was to prove a point,” she said. “These are good cars and you’re not stuck to just going down to the shops.“The concern about the environment was front and centre. These cars are bloody expensive. But once you’ve paid for the car, your running costs are bugger all.”

Do you have a little one who is fascinated by electrical sockets? This super easy hack could be right up your alley … 

This probably ranks as one of the worst promotional photos for a product that I’ve ever seen. But hey, don’t let that detract from the fact that this is a cool device.

I have one big early complaint, though. The Osmo app has an on-screen joystick to move the camera around, located at the bottom right corner of the app. It’s a little uncomfortable to reach my thumb past the Osmo to adjust camera position. I think it would be less of a concern with a bezel-free phone like the iPhone X, but not everyone has an iPhone X.

After I received the Autowit jump starter from GenHigh, I put the word out that I needed to test it, and I was going to serve as a one-man auto rescue service. I was surprised to receive a few calls over a period of a couple of weeks, as dead batteries are more common than I would’ve guessed. (Or perhaps people just wanted to watch me try to jump-start their cars for a good laugh, knowing exactly how little I know about vehicles.)
