Advantages: Acknowledge I've overrated, at ease, I use a strong range of scores Disadvantages: GameFAQS top ten list quality filler - I'm only really doing this for 30CP
I'm not a fan of top whatever lists, and I loathe the term "overrated" as I find it to be overused (although it springs to mind when I am on sites like this).

There have been reviews that I've gone back to and changed the rating - these would be next in line, though my laziness means I might never get round to these.

Oh yes, make that three appliances that have crapped out on us in recent months, having had very little real use ? our Party Gear iPod dock, our Rexel Shredder and now our Morphy Richards Espresso machine that promised so much with its prestigious build quality and yet lasted three years of merely occasional domestic use.
With hindsight, the perceived build-quality appears to have been ?all fur coat and no knickers?.
I can?t bring myself to scroll back through my opinions to find out how much it cost, but it was over a ton, of that I?m sure. I?d only upset myself anyway.
It?ll come as no surprise that I?ve decided to buy something cheaper, covered with an extended warranty this time. Hence it was that I recently found myself in Comet paying £70 for a DeLonghi Treviso, but before you all start checking ...
