Advantages: Excellent features. Ease of use. Quiet. Reliable. Excellent warranty! Disadvantages: Expensive outlay, unfamiliar brand but this is NOT a problem!
One day when I was having lunch at Yo Sushi I got a rather frantic phone call from my partner. The washer dryer had decided to spark, smoke and set itself alight during the drying process. Once the electric was isolated the fire went out, however I was far from impressed. I didn't want to even chance getting this fixed so off I went on a search for a new washer dryer. It can be a bit of a minefield out there in kitchen appliance land with many stores offering deals on 100's of machines! Eventually I discovered a local electrical warehouse and called them direct, they soon presented a number of machines that would be suitable and at a good budget. I went straight down to have a look and came back with my new Fagor!

Advantages: Can be intergrated , 1400 spin if the motors working. Disadvantages: the motors dont last long
Bought a Fagor 6146 in February 2008 to fit into our new kitchen , after two and a half months a fault code F08 appeared a new motor was required , this was fixed under warranty , we are now in July 2009 and yes you've guessed it fault code F08 , so I called the call center and specifically told them about the fault code F08 , thinking that like last time the engineer would bring a new motor out with him and I would only have to have 1 day off work as the engineer's appointment time is ALL DAY , could be 08.00 could be 5.30 pm they can not specify a time , the engineer came out 6 days later 06/07/2009 without a motor and said F08 you need a new motor I'll order one it'll take 3-5 days , so that's another day off work to arrange , it's cost £104 so far and I've had to dismantle the sink half of the kitchen to get the Fagor washer out ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: somewhat helpful Review of Fagor FU 6146
Advantages: Huge zoom, Focus Tracking, Easy to use Disadvantages: Bulky, A little slow, AA batteries are a bit inconvenient
The Fuji FinePix S1500 is the latest incarnation of the very successful FinePix S1000fd. It is very SLR-like in appearance and the added bulk of the battery-holder/grip does give it an assured feeling in your hands. Of course, this can be a disadvantage, and if you want a camera that you can just slip in-and-out of your pocket, then maybe a slimmer compact should be considered.
The 12x optical zoom is excellent and it equates to 33-396mm in 35mm terms - and if this isn't enough, there is a 5.7x digital zoom feature too.
The menus are friendly and easy to navigate, and there are helpful explanatory prompts that appear on thew LCD screen when the mode-dial setting is changed.
There are 14 preset scenes to choose from, each setting the camera to its optimum settings for the given scenario, but on top of this, the camera can be used ...
