Although it was a smidge too expensive to continuously subscribe, it was a fun exciting experience and got a bad a$$ speaker. Was easy to cancel subscription also

Cheated.

No way the cost came close to the gadgets I received. Paid double for them, essentially. And haven't been able to unsubscribe or deactivate account to not be billed.

Don’t Trust this company

This company is a scam.
I had a code from Gener8 subscribe to a one month subscription for free turns out is was a month subscription for £1 then I checked my bank account and they also charged me another £19.99.

I was confused so I cancelled and asked for a refund because this was a miss understanding. Contacted customer services 8 times and No! response!!.

Don’t trust them ITS A SCAM!!!!!!

Thanks for your feedback - we're sorry to hear that! It sounds like you've ordered one of our one-gadget Trial Boxes. This box is a taster of what you might get in your full Quarterly Plan membership, rather than a full-price box. We're sorry for any confusion!

🚨🔔‼️DO NOT FALL FOR IT!!!!

🚨🔔‼️DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY! IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT USUALL IS. This seems to be the case here. I received my initial trial box a couple of weeks ago and in fairness I was relatively pleased with it, however after my first subscription charge was taken (£75 for a quarterly box) I must say I am hugely disappointed and feel like I have been massively scammed! The contents are supposed to add up to over £100+! These items couldn’t be further from it, at best they total £25-£30 at consumer value. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY PEOPLE, SAVE YOURSELVES!!!!!!!

Single cheap item which doesn't even equal half the price of the box

Recieved my box today and it only contained a single cheap speaker which has a retail price of half the cost of the box. (And available on aliexpress for £6). Extremely disappointing. 2 stars rather than 1 because the only saving grace is I had a discount code for the box which means I didn't pay much for it. But had I paid the full subscription amount I would be extremely disappointed.

Received a great little speaker that was really well packaged as an introductory offer. I have recently become unemployed so have to tighten my belt! I found it easy to delay my subscription via their website.

Well worth it!

I chanced upon a voucher to get a trial box that has an item worth £40 for only £9.99 so I decided to order one since I could probably manage to sell it if I didn't like it but I was pleasantly surprised with the item I got. I was given a RISE miniBOOM 2 wireless speaker which can fit in your pocket, really light, sounds amazing and has more play time than you would expect for a wireless speaker at that size.

I like how easy the site is to use and navigate, the delivery was on time and the item was in perfect condition. The only thing I would change is the selection of the type of gadget you would get, there's only 4 choices and could use sub selections like entertainment - gaming or something along those lines. Other than that, everything is great.

Voucher code

Voucher code which allowed me to test the merchandise for a cheaper price. Got a mini boom 2 speaker and it’s a good little speaker for the price. Personally I don’t believe it’s worth the £33 it would have cost initially as I’ve seen you can buy those speakers cheaper. But for the first time experience of getting something from this website it was an ok experience.
