Having taken a break last week, Trusted Recommends is back again – and this time there are more products than ever before, giving you an amazing selection of high-performing tech that thoroughly impressed us when we put it through our reviews. From doorbells to high-end TVs, there’s a great range to choose from across the spectrum of price, so read on for our top tip-offs this week:
Gigabyte G5
Despite its older processor, theGigabyte G5gaming laptop remains a good buy thanks to its good quality screen and eminently reasonable price tag.
Trusted Score: 4/5
Dell XPS 13 Plus
TheDell XPS 13 Pluslaptop looks fantastic and boasts great ergonomics with its haptic feedback trackpad and touch panel; however its super slim design does come at some cost to battery life and performance.
Trusted Score: 4/5
Blink Video Doorbell
TheBlink Video Doorbellis not only impressively cheap but it can also save video offline, avoiding cloud storage fees, and the performance is great – however, it loses points for its weak video quality and sub-par motion detection options.
Trusted Score: 4/5
Vacmaster Respira
TheVacmaster Respirais a powerful vacuum cleaner with an anti-tangle head, this offers great value but does admittedly feel a little cheap in places.
Trusted Score: 4/5
AEG KMK968000M
TheAEG KMK968000Mworks as an oven, grill, and microwave and packs extra features as well, such as plate warming, all in one compact package. However, we did find that the accompanying app was a bit fiddly.
Trusted Score: 4/5
Samsung QE55QN85B
TheSamsung QE55QN85Bis a neat and slim television packs in bright and vibrant images, however it can struggle to distinguish black tones and there’s a lack of Dolby Vision HDR too.
Trusted Score: 4/5
Soundcore X10 Sport
These true wireless sports earbuds fit very well and deliver powerful, bass-heavy sound. While the ANC is not best in class, theSoundcore X10 Sportheadphones are still very good value for money.
Trusted Score: 4/5
Samsung The Serif
The picture performance of theSamsung Serifis enjoyably colourful, and the sound is pretty good too. However, the HDR performance is limited and the UI can be on the sluggish side.
Trusted Score: 4/5
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4
TheSamsung Galaxy Z Fold 4feels futuristic and genuinely alters what to expect from a smartphone. It’s far from perfect, but this is the finest attempt yet at a foldable phone.
Trusted Score: 4/5
Poco F4
ThePoco F4is a fine mid-phone that delivers strong performance standards along with an excellent display. While it offers great bang for your buck, it’s not much different from thePoco F3.
Trusted Score: 4/5
Miele Triflex HX2 Pro
A flexible and powerful vacuum cleaner, the only drawback to theMiele Triflex HX2 Prois that it can be slightly fiddly to switch it between different modes.
Trusted Score: 4.5/5
Keychron Q1
TheKeychron Q1keyboard has a very sturdy chassis and nice responsive keys, but custom configurations quickly get quite pricey.
Trusted Score: 4.5/5
Huawei Matebook 16s
TheHuawei Matebook 16sis a great productivity laptop which boasts a large 16 inch touchscreen, and its design is both robust and practical thanks to its large selection of ports and roomy keyboard.
Trusted Score: 4.5/5
Razer Leviathan V2
A sleek design twinned with room-filling audio makes theRazer Leviathan V2soundbar a real winner. We enjoyed it for gaming and for music, but it does suffer from a lack of ports.
Trusted Score: 4.5/5
AEG BPK948330M
The automatic programmes and temperature probe make theAEG BPK948330Ma great oven for beginners, but its more powerful features will be welcomed by expert cooks too. It can heat and grill very evenly, and it’s easy to clean as well.
Trusted Score: 4.5/5
Amazon Basics Alkaline AA
TheAmazon Basics Alkaline AAs defied our expectations of budget batteries, delivering excellent performance standards given the cheap price.
Trusted Score: 4.5/5
Hotpoint H9X 94T SX Total No Frost Fridge Freezer
With hugely flexible fridge space and door pockets, consistent temperatures, and reasonable running costs, theHotpoint H9X 94T SX Total No Frost Fridge Freezeris a brilliant option for your refrigeration needs.
Trusted Score: 4.5/5
Nectar Sleep Premier
Though it might be one of the most expensive mattresses-in-a-box that you can buy, theNectar Sleep Premier‘s heat dissipation and support are still truly excellent, so it’s a good choice if you prefer a soft-feeling mattress rather than a firm one.
Trusted Score: 4.5/5
Sony Linkbuds S

Trusted Score: 4.5/5

TheFinal ZE3000true wireless earbuds might not offer a vast array of features, but they do provide excellent sound quality – especially for the price.
Trusted Score: 4.5/5
Monolith M1070
This gigantic pair of open-backed over-ear headphones offer the listener a mature and balanced performance – though you might need an amplifier to bring out their very best of theMonolith M1070.
Trusted Score: 4.5/5
Panasonic TX-55LZ2000
Brilliant image quality meets an excellentDolby Atmossound system to offer thePanasonic TX-55LZ2000; perhaps the closest we’ve yet seen to the ideal all-in-one home cinema package.
Trusted Reviews: 5/5
LG OLED65G2
LG’s best OLED TV, theOLED65G2, packs in fantastic HDR performance, an extensive feature set, and very well-implemented smart abilities. It’s also more affordable than the LG C2 OLED.
