Gadgets and gizmos put through their paces

IT IS going to be a gizmo and gadget-filled Christmas and Ireland’s independent watchdog has already tested a festive selection of satnavs, TVs and the latest mobile phones.

Consumer Choice is a monthly magazine published by the Consumer Association of Ireland (CAI) and the product reviews in the latest edition are based on independent laboratory tests.

CAI chief executive Dermott Jewell said they purposely looked at the products because of their extraordinary and increasing popularity.
