It offers 16 pre-set programmes to suit different clothing types and it has two fast wash modes for when you’re in a hurry.

Against other washer-dryers that use cold water for cooling the condenser this can save you up to 95 bath tubs of water per year.

WHAT IS THE SAMSUNG WD906U4SAGD? A feature packed all-in-one washer dryer with an impressive 9kg load capacity for washing or you can wash and dry a 6kg load all in one go. It also features Samsung’s the same ecobubble wash technology as the excellent  Samsung WF90F7E6U6W  washing machine, where a soapy froth is created by mixing the detergent with both air and water before the cycle begins, enabling the bubbles to penetrate deep into the fibres faster than a conventional wash. This enables wash performance at cooler temperatures to be as effective as warmer temperatures, which in turn saves energy and running costs. The embossed raised shape of the Diamond Drum, unique to Samsung, allows the clothes more contact with the water and drum, while smaller water holes prevent damage and snagging. It is claimed that this provides deep clean results even for the most delicate washing. The air wash cycle gently removes unpleasant smells and sanitizes laundry without water, s...

Let's get right down to it: if Apple had launched the iPhone 7 in place of the iPhone 6S last year, it would probably have been the phone of the year. We're used to the S variants of the iPhone being minimal upgrades – just the right amount of change to encourage a purchase by those with ageing handsets – and if the myriad changes on this new iPhone had arrived in 2015, it would have been fantastic. Instead of the  iPhone 6S , with just a 3D Touch screen in the way of new features and a few power boosts here and there, we'd have had a waterproof handset with dual speakers, a brighter and more colorful screen and a boosted 12MP camera that took better pictures than the one on the  iPhone 6 . Changing the home button from a clickable entity to something that responds to pressure – and possibly even the loss of the headphone jack – would have been seen as innovative and alternative in a sea of identikit handsets. And if Apple had thrown in the new Jet Black finish ...

WHAT IS THE PANASONIC HX-A1ME? The HX-A1ME is Panasonic's entry-level action camera – the baby brother of the  HX-A500E . As an entry level action camera the HX-A1ME cuts a few corners on hardware. Where the  HX-A500E  boasts a 4K video resolution and a separate recording unit, the HX-A1ME only offers Full HD and uses a more standard bullet camera format. Making up for this, the HX-A1ME is also about half the price. PANASONIC HX-A1ME – DESIGN Thanks to its bullet-camera shape and 45g weight, the HX-A1ME is one of the smallest action cameras you'll come across. It makes a  GoPro HERO3  look like it needs to go on a diet, although the recently released  HERO4 Session  is also tiny. There's no built-in screen, and there are only three buttons on the top for control. It's available in black and luminous orange. Panasonic has led the way with standards-based rugged camcorders, and the HX-A1ME continues the tradition. It's waterproof and dust-...
