Juicers
Why fork out $6 for a fresh juice at a cafe when you can make your own? Juicing your own fruit and vegetables concoctions is infinitely more cost-effective and satisfying - just make a lot at one go. Look for a model which has dishwasher-safe parts, and comes with comprehensive instructions. For more information, have a look at our Juicers review.
Car GPS
A dedicated GPS for your car is a great Christmas present for those who do a lot of road-travel, and like to know exactly where they're going. While GPS-capable smartphones such as the iPhone are making some inroads in the GPS market, it seems most drivers still prefer the full functionality of a dedicated car GPS unit. Features such as lane guidance , announcement of school zones and text to speech are standard in most models. Some even come with preloaded maps of Australia. Have a look at our latest Car GPS review for more information.
USB TV Tuners
These thumb-size devices can effectively turn your laptop or PC into a TV and digital video recorder (DVR), almost anywhere you go. They're meant to deliver crystal clear digital TV picture and sound, more stations – both standard and high-definition – and advanced recording functions such as time shifting. CHOICE took 12 of the latest models out across Sydney and the greater west for a road test to see how well they work in real-world conditions, both with a normal household antenna and with a portable antenna, where provided.
