Advantages: Number of features, sound quality, radio reception Disadvantages: Overkill
...I have owned an Alpine 7570R Cassette/Tuner since Christmas and I am fairly pleased with it.

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 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
