Absurdly expensive

The diesel-powered $10,000 industrial washer is dangerously powerful and even tore up the tape around the edges.

Craftsmanship and gold over function, a step back from nice keyboards; scored 4.5.

A giant, fully functional keyboard built 27 times larger, great as a spectacle but poor to use; scored a joke 4 out of 3.

The most intelligent robot he has tested, but clearly niche and hard to buy; scored 8 out of 10.

A $119,000 limited edition set that looks stunning with sapphire-set rings, he thinks looks better than any consumer headphones.

Powerful heat and compression that he would use around the house, a rare case where luxury buys convenience.

The maglev stand is impressive, but the price goes into a gold nib and the build feels not premium enough.

The $139,000 diamond set sounds superb and is one of the best wireless headphones he has used, though he would be terrified to wear them.

A life-size remote-controlled R2-D2 that impressed him with its momentum and feels like operating heavy machinery.

A crypto-funded Wakanda-style city that produced only a half-built hut after the Akoin collapse, rated 9 out of 10.

The coolest chess set he has used and takes second place, but not something he'd recommend to most people.

A niche, absurdly expensive blaster, but he called it the best nine seconds of his life.

Technically impressive, but the games are poor and he has no idea who it's for at that price.

Futuristic and fun to watch, but uneven cooking makes it poor value at $3,000.

Natural airflow wasn't enough in a hot room, and the $60,000 bed gave less deep sleep than the Eight Sleep setup.

Bought from the US for about $10,000 but the plumbing was incompatible with the UK, forcing a replacement.

Gloriously comfortable, but he thinks he overspent and would buy a Simba mattress with an Eight Sleep cover instead.

The replacement toilet is also amazing, with a night light, motion sensor, deodoriser and bidet.

A handmade, hyper-realistic skin-textured charger that works but he found deeply disturbing and absurdly expensive.

A $200,000 gold-brick phone that weighs a kilo and came with a business card addressed to Jeff Bezos, which he finds absurd.

A heavy stainless steel $60 whistle that is only slightly louder than the $6 one.

A ridiculous but fully working 15x iPhone that beat a real iPhone on camera, power and speakers and won a Guinness World Record.

Describes the world's most expensive bed as bizarre but surprisingly comfortable, giving a sinking-and-floating feel, without giving a clea…

Used as an expensive target for the spill test, with no opinion given on the phone itself.
