I have owned an Alpine 7570R Cassette/Tuner since Christmas and I am fairly pleased with it. It was a replacement for a standard fit radio which had been playing up and I had hankered after an Alpine for a while. It has a huge number of features (most of the buttons have multiple functions) and it will take a good few evenings with the manual before you can do more than turn it on.
It has all of the radio RDS features that you'd expect from Alpine: AutoSearch, traffic information, radio station messages and programme information. All of these features (except the radio info, which is just distracting if you want to see which station you are listening to) are useful and I like them.
Other good features are the Programme Search function for tapes to allow skipping forward or back as many tracks as you choose. It also has a removable front section which just leaves a blank hole in the facia when you leave the car (no Alpine logo, I'm glad to say). Also Alpine offer a 1 year replacement warranty/insurance on the radio if it is stolen from you car after the dispaly has been removed.
Now come the gimmicks. You don't like Alpine's traditional pale blue buttons? Then select the Amber option. How many people are in the car and where are they sitting? Use SPS to automatically alter the fader and balance settings. Don't like the 'level' and radio signal strength indicators? Alter them.
The final and completely over the top function has to be the ability to alter the display angle. Find the screen too difficult to read with reflections on it? Tilt it up. If you can keep a straight face while doing this, you must take yourself far too seriously!
The worst part of the whole ownership experience? Getting in the car every morning and finding that it doesn't save your settings!
I brought the Bosch Sensixx Comfort Power iron a few weeks ago now after mine gave up the ghost with a bang. I needed something that will be reliable and powerful, so I chose this one.

As I've stated in another review for a chest freezer, I purchased this fridge/freezer due to my previous one being on its last legs! As it was nearing Christmas and my old fridge/freezer was making a lot of weird noises, I decided to retire it to the... more
I had a similar Beko fridge/freezer for 7 years, so I thought I'd get another one. I bought the replacement online from Miller Bros(VG store), but was disappointed by its basic quality compared to my old one e.g. it was slightly smaller.More... more
I bought this iron as I believe Bosch are a good quality make. The sensixx comfort secure looks and feels of good build as you would hope to expect. At 2400 watts, it heats up quickly. I was also looking for auto-shut off feature as safety is very... more
