HP Neverstop Laser Printer
Say hello to the world’s first cartridge-free printer
for small to medium-sized business owners that
print up to 20,000 pages before the replacement
drum will need changing. Changing it is a breeze,
too, with a rapid reload drum system that allows
users to refill the ink in seconds. The printer can
be connected to one computer at a time using the
cable, or connect it to multiple devices, including
your phone, via WiFi. Use the HP Smart App
for easy remote printing. The Neverstop is ECOcertified,
and Energy Star 3.0 certified. This
gives it an 84% smaller environmental footprint
than other printers, saving much energy and
making it perfect for those who are working from
home these days.
Philips Shaver S9000 Prestige
The new Philips Shaver S9000 Prestige comes with a multidirectional
Contour Detect head that has three shaving rings,
ensuring capture of hair growing in different directions
and of varying densities. The rings feature Philips’s new
NanoTech precision blades, giving a really close shave, perfect
for the discerning gentleman. Meanwhile, on the handle is
the discreet monitor that displays battery power and shaving
intensity. The rear rubberised grip gives firm hold and
control, and, of course, the overal look of the slick, two-tone
black and gun metal finish doesn’t hurt, either. The S9000
Prestige supports Qi wireless charging and comes with an
equally sleek-looking Qi wireless charging pad. There is also
a travel ready case for the shaver, trim head, power adapter
and wireless charging pad, so you can always take it on the go.
