Hinari CFF230FF

Advantages: Quiet (with mod), removable water tank, air direction control, cheap
Disadvantages: Water tank could do with being bigger (I'm being picky here!)

...at the bottom of the unit making this very difficult, on the Hinari it is half way up making it MUCH easier. The air is electronically directable with the Hinari meaning you can also redirect it from the remote control. The B&Q unit only pumps the air in one direction and you can't even change it manually unless you physically move the entire unit! The Hinari unit is slightly lighter and also comes in white vs the B&Q unit which comes in Silver. The only other thing is the remote control. Both have an LCD remote but the B&Q one "looks" better than the Hinari one. Price:- The B&Q unit is £300 and the Hinari Focus unit is £230... Read review

Advantages: All types of cooking in one oven and a Child-proof lock
Disadvantages: Not large enough for big families, but would be good as a backup

...My old microwave was looking worse for wear so decided to look for a new one. As my main cooker had a grill included in the oven, which I find very inconvenient at times, I thought a microwave/grill combination would be my best bet. I visited Comet and found that there was a huge variety of ovens available, but one stood out amongst them and that was the HINARI Lifestyle Model MX780CEG. It did more than I originally wanted - Microwave, Grill and Convection, with a microwave/grill and microwave/convection combinations - but at the very reasonable price of £54.99 it looked a very good buy. As you can see from the picture above it is an attractive looking oven and with outside dimensions of 458w x 295hx488dmm and oven cavity dimensions of 309w x 206h x 334dmm, it is not that much larger than a convensional microwave oven...

Advantages: Looks stylish, produces yummy treats
Disadvantages: Hot

...I have been living my boyfriend now for about six months. When we were preparing to move in together we had a lot of appliances to buy. After we’d got the house nearly sorted we went to Tesco one evening and picked up some smaller electrical devices, things like the iron, etc. While we were there we spotted some sandwich toasters, obviously we nearly bought the Tesco Value one but then we saw the Hinari SP275, not like the old sandwich toasters, it was just to hot plates?! I ummed and ahhed for a few minutes as it was more expensive, but then it looked great and for £19.97 I couldn’t really argue besides which it was already in the trolley. So, we brought the toaster home, unpacked it and found it a place on the kitchen worktop. To be honest after this I forgot about it for a few days but when I came home one day and my boyfriend had...
