Weird & wonderful

A one-of-one custom giant keyboard that looks cool but he likes less than the previous one; scored 7.

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

He is entertained and surprised by how lifelike and capable the robot dog is, though he gives no formal verdict.

A flashlight with a seat belt cutter and window breaker that he rates 9.5 out of 10 for around $30.

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

The dust tastes good, but the machine looks bad, is awkward to use and isn't worth buying.

A fascinating cookie-playing gadget, but gimmicky and good for only about 20 minutes of fun.

Impressive-looking pasta that is great for impressing guests, but costs far more than normal pasta and tastes the same.

Looks like rubbish and is pricey, but smells exactly like KFC, burns well and earns an A.

A loud spinning fork that is no better than a normal fork, and he expected more from Pot Noodle.

Surprisingly works at keeping pizza warm and is nearly free to print, but is too simple to rate above B.

Fast, impressive offline translator, but little advantage over Google Translate on a phone.

Versatile massager with plates for waist, limbs and feet; the foot acupressure head was his favourite.

Impressive waterproof scalp massager with red light and oil dispensing; he rated it a perfect 10.

Painful but fun and heavily themed; he gave it an optimistic 8 out of 10 though it won't suit everyone.

The single 100 mph RC car has so much traction that even 20 slower cars cannot pull it.

Twenty of the 10 mph cars together still could not beat the single 100 mph car.

A much larger lung-powered horn that is far louder than the party blower.

Combines two tones and is loud enough for truck drivers to hear on busy roads, though the sound is horrible.

Uses compressed air and is a lot louder, painful even with ear protection on.

The loudest horn in the world, louder than a military jet takeoff and potentially ear-rupturing.

Designed to clear people out of the way and only slightly louder than the previous horn.

The 10-cent party blower was the weakest horn and he called it terrible.
