The Beyond Smart Coffee Maker. $128.99. Why’s it smart? Because it can automagically make ‘freshly ground and brewed coffee’ at different times of the day throughout the week. That’s why. Oh and it can be connected to a web browser so you can remotely change the schedule on demand when life gets a little rough. So show some respect people, OK? Sheesh!   The Beyond Coffee Maker is flexible ad easy to use. Add the Home Hub and you’ll know before leaving bed…

The Gear Shift FM Radio. $29.95. Picture the scene. Two consumer electronic marketing men huddled over disappointingly bland Caffe Lattes, racking brains to come up with something new. Then bingo, a radio that doubles as a mock car gear shift pops into their caffeine addled brains. Pity their poor children, won’t you?  Just push down on the diamond milled solid brushed aluminum gear shift knob and move it out of the off (park) position. Then shift right to scan for your favorite…

The Aquabot T2 robotic pool cleaner. Any pool cleaned in 1 hour. Pah, you fancy pantsers with yer Roombas, Trilobyties and stuff. Real men throw their robots into the pool. Last one out’s a sissy! From around $1400.00.  Aquabot Turbo T2 utilizes a patented cleaning program guided by a directional clutch located within the cleaner’s scrubbing brush wheel tube axles. As Aquabot Turbo T2 reaches the waterline to clean and then reverse one side of the scrubbing brush axle will spin…

The Suzuki QChord digital songcard guitar. $229.00. It’s been out for a while apparently, but the Ferret doesn’t care in the slightest. It just has to be featured here because life is too short not to get your hands on a strummin’, hummin’, MIDI enabled, song cartridge totin’ handheld instrument like this. Really it is.  If you love music, now you can become a member of the band quickly and easily with the new QChord, an exciting digital instrument that strums like a…

Money Counter and Counterfeit Detector. $199.95. Hmm…wonder if you need to have cash to justify getting one of these? Or whether shoving two crinkled grubby notes through the slot repeatedly with a wild cackle will push us into the big time? Sigh.  How quickly can you count 900 $20 bills? We bet you can’t do it in a minute, while spotting phony bills. This incredibly portable machine is that fast and that smart. Whether you’re a shop owner or weekend swap meet vendor,…

The Singleroll Skater. $99.98. The illegitimate offspring of a torrid affair between a skateboard from the wrong side of the tracks and a glamorous set of waxy downhill skis. We warned them that nothing good would come of it and now look.  You rock your body side-to-side like in-line skating, you use the poles for balance and speed like skiing, and you stand on a deck much like a skateboard! Race, slalom, do turns, do downhill, or skate straight–all while improving…

The Garrett Enforcer G2 Hand Held Metal Detector. $86.00. Pop it into your handbag just in case you visit those gun lovin’ relatives at the weekend. It pays to keep on top of the situation, don’t you think? And don’t forget the school run car-pool shakedown, eh?  A miniature version of the Garrett Super Scanner. The Enforcer G-2 is small enough to carry in your hand or pocket, yet powerful and sensitive enough to detect the smallest concealed weapon. Built to operate in rugged…

The DM1B LCD Watch. Chunka-delic. With big bright numerals, alarm, chrono and day/date. Mmm…£29.99.  We LOVE LED Watches but we also LOVE Dot Matrix LCD display watches – they are not easy to find and this CONNECT model is just about the best with it’s unique vertical display, large digits that can be read at a glance. The upright style resembles Fossil’s Starck watch but this model is much cooler and has a far superior feature set.

The Notebook Sound Case. $48.85 gets you a laptop briefcase with a couple of built-in speakers. Correct us if we’re wrong, but don’t laptops come with their own speakers nowadays? What? Ah, I see. These are apparently ‘amplified’ speakers. Well that’s better then.  SPC-400 Notebook computer Sound Case turns your portable laptop PC into a portable audio/visual sound system with a built-in amplified speaker. Simply attach included connector to laptop headphone jack for 360 degree sound. No more need to…
