Efo Solar Rechargeable Torch

Here’s one of these oxymorons: a solar powered torch – but thanks to a rechargeable battery it doesn’t only work during the day... !
Well, the idea is great, the execution less so.
Yes, it’s an environmentally friendly torch as the sun recharges the internal battery.
Trouble is there’s only 1 small battery in there even though there’s room for more.
So the output is not as bright as can be nor the endurance as long as some of the other torches we’ve reviewed.

Efo TV

This little USB stick packs quite an entertainment punch!

Here you have easy access to literally thousands of radio and TV stations as well as games.
It takes ages to just browse through the phenomenal menu that has been dished up on your screen to taste and sample them...
Fortunately, many categories come with their Top 100 selections to make it a bit easier. Mind you, this one has a heavy Asian bias which is not bad, just different.
As the site says: Chanson de Paris, New York Jazz, Britpop Rock, Milano Cancion de Amor, Tokyo Pop, Bollywood of India, Venetian Classical Music and more ... Music of the whole world will follow you anytime, anywhere you go.

Efo Eco Button

Well, this last gadget is a good one to close off our look at the Efo offerings as this is THE button to shut off your machinery when you leave your desk. That’s right, from listening to the world with the USB Dongle for Internet Radio, we can now SAVE the world with the Eco button! At least, that’s what the company would like you to believe when they say: Save Energy, Save Money, Save World !!!

Sure, switching off your computer when you’re not going to be at your desk for more than a few minutes makes sense but how does the Eco Button differ from using the Standby button on your equipment?

E-GO Cessna 182

This is the fourth of seven remote controlled electric planes that we intend to review in separate detailed reviews on this site.  The others being the Apprentice 15e (completed), Hobby zone Champ (completed), Mini Super Cub (completed), Super Cub LP, Trojan T28, and the new Cessna Classic 500 (“big papa”) which we expect to be delivered during July.  Meanwhile, the Cessna 182 is certainly a lovely looking plane, with great attention to detail and possessing a high build quality.

Mini Super Club

This is the third of seven remote controlled electric planes that we intend to review in separate detailed reviews on this site.  The others being: the Apprentice 15e (completed), Hobbyzone Champ (completed), Super Cub LP, Trojan T28, Cessna 182 and the new Cessna Classic 500.

Find me a replacement aeroplane for this model as we have just been advised by manufacturers that this RC plane has now been discontinued.  Oddly enough, we don’t see that Hobbyzone have anything to replace it with.  Perhaps they are of the opinion that the larger Super Cub LP can do what the little brother did??  Nevertheless, we will still review the Mini Super Cub as we see it currently filling a gap in the market place which will need to be substituted by something equally as capable.

What is the substitute planes name?
