[VR headset category] 1st place award
Meta Meta Quest 3
Actual price: 74,800 yen (128GB) / 96,800 yen (512GB)
Several months have passed since the June announcement. The
long-awaited “Quest 3” was finally released on October 10th. Compared to 2, basic performance and usability have evolved. First of all, the display is not as good as a 4K TV, but if you were using 2, you’ll definitely feel it’s an improvement. Also, the pass-through, which was monochrome in the previous model, is now in color! In addition, thanks to the stereo camera and newly installed sensor, it can now be seen in three dimensions. It is now more comfortable to work while wearing the headset. Quest 3 has become more fun and convenient with MR support. Even though it starts from around 80,000 yen, it’s definitely worth buying!

“Even though it’s mechanical, HHKB” provides a responsive keystroke feel and quiet operation.

The NP-RDR001 rear drive recorder will give you a clear picture of the vehicle behind you through the rear window when you are involved in a tailgating accident or a rear-end collision. The image is clear and you can clearly see the movement of cars and people behind you. It’s not just a camera, it’s a drive recorder, so it’s reassuring that it records when it detects an impact. The price is only about 10,000 yen, so it’s a must-have for NP1 users! Another recommended point is that you can transition from the NP1 app and it is easy to use.

[Mid-spec Wi-Fi router category] 1st place award
Buffalo WSR-3000AX4P-BK
Actual price: 10,980 yen
The best buy for the mid-spec version was the Buffalo
“WSR-3000AX4P-BK,” which was the second cheapest of the 10 products. The speed of the 5GHz band is 1st in uplink and 2nd in downlink, which is an excellent result. The closeness of the maximum speed and average speed is evidence that the speed was stable. The main unit is small and the number of streams is 4, but if you have a small number of connected devices, there will be no problems.

[Mesh Wi-Fi router category] 1st place award
TP-Link Deco BE85 (2 pack)
Actual price: 118,620 yen
This router is one of the first to support the next generation Wi-Fi standard, Wi-Fi 7. The average download speed of the 5GHz band is 1.2Gbps, overwhelming the others. It’s the fastest of our products, and the average uphill speed is second overall, so there’s no question about it. The number of streams that represent the communication route is 12, which allows for stable communication even when the number of Wi-Fi devices connected simultaneously increases. Although it is large in size, it does not require much space due to its white cylindrical design.

[Hot carpet (2 tatami) category] 1st place award
Panasonic Hot Carpet DC-2NKC1
Actual price: 22,400 yen
▼Overall evaluation
Ease of warming: 5.0/5 points
Functionality: 5.0/5 points
Usability: 3.0/5 points
Power consumption: 2.5/5 points
Total: 15.5/20 points
The heating wires are tightly packed and generate heat, so you can feel warm no matter where you sit. It also has a wide range of features such as a timer function and energy saving mode. I was also impressed by the fact that it comes with a cover, saving you the trouble of purchasing it separately. Electricity costs are high, so if you’re worried about it, try turning on only the side you use. [Image 17
[Oil-less heater category] 1st place award
DeLonghi Multi Dynamic Heater Solare Wi-Fi Model IDH15WIFI-WB Actual price: 99,800 yen
A type of heater that warms the room using radiant heat from the main unit’s heat dissipation section and natural convection. Since it does not emit hot air, it has the advantage of being less dry and less polluted than air conditioners and fan heaters. The essential heating performance is also sufficient. Although it has a structure that gradually warms the room with heat, its speedy heating performance is inferior, but there is less unevenness in the temperature within the room, and the entire room is warmed. In terms of functionality, in addition to basic functions such as eco-driving and child lock, it is equipped with a smartphone link function. By connecting the dedicated app, you can use your smartphone like a remote control and operate it remotely for added convenience! If you put your favorite aroma in the included aroma bowl, you can warm up while enjoying the scent.
