Adam ARNO Brass

Advantages: Wind proof, super cool looks, warrenty
Disadvantages: smell, hot weather

...Ah the old zippo, where to begin? They look cool, are easy to use and have the lifetime warrenty. There are so many different designs avaible now a days that some are awful! I myself have two, a silver Jack daniels one for every day use and a brass ltd edition Harley Davidson one that is engraved and was given to me by an ex girlfriend for my 18 birthday (it was a long time ago) which has never been used for fear of having to have polish the brass! There are down sides to ownership of a Zippo, the first being the cost, then you have the following; Fuel, wick & flint, all run out at the most arkward of times. The fuel problem is a pain when its summer time because in the high temperatures the fluid evaporates. For best results you really need to use Zippo fuel, flints & wicks. I dont know why but they just work better! the fuel... Read review

Advantages: lots of designs available
Disadvantages: some prices are silly

...I have had black ones, brass, chrome matt, you name it, i have had one, or thinking about buying one. Now i have a slim weathered brass one, not that i am a girly kinda person but it looks so cute and small in my hand and it says ZIPPO on the bottom. Class is the word I am getting at here. i dont expect it to last me a lifetime though cos no doubt i would possibly get bored of it before then but there is one gripe, the supplied flint, it took me ten attepts with the supplied flint to light it, not good for zippo to advertise this fact, maybe a bad batch, i don't know, so i replaced it and what do you know, one flick and its burning my face off! Since i have had them a few years ago, i know how to light one in a funky way, up the leg to open the lid, down the leg to light it and your off!!! and the other way is to click your... Read review

Advantages: Good Price, Well Made, Large Oven
Disadvantages: Controlls a bit weak

...'s automatic with even a defrost facility. Mine has brass effect trim witch is a bit cheap & nasty. The handle is great for hanging tea towels on & of course opening the oven door ! Two lights tell you when its upto heat. The accompanying material says that it comes in four colours, Black, Stainless Steel, Cream & Green. However, the man in the shop said that Green was discontinued. There are matching Hoods & Hobs for those of you that do the full Althea Turner Home-style look. So what does it cook like ? Nothing special the temperature is consistent it's quite even with the fan on & none of us has been poisoned just yet so I suppose you could say its Cooking Good. Overall, a good cheap entry-level unit that's nothing fancy & works, we like it... Read review
