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...

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...

...appears to be strongly made and at the moment gives the appearance that it's built to last. The instruction and recipe booklets use decent sized fonts so they are easy to read, even for an old git like me! I've not tried out any of the recipes yet but will do one day. It is imperative that children are kept away from the blender for obvious reasons. I only paid £5.99 in Tescos, the same blender is in Index for £7.99. If you can find it on the net you may get it cheaper but when you take into account shipping costs, the Tesco price will be hard to beat.
(None of the documentation has the address for Hinari, nor does it have all the relevant CE references.)...

I bought this Samsung t.v. in December 2007 from Argos for £249.99, a special offer of £50 below the R.R.P. at that time.
Initial impressions were positive - high connectivity (PC, Scart, Component, HDMI, standard analogue), and it's fairly slim,... more
The Samsung Syncmaster 940MW is a great multifunction monitor with multiple inputs, a built in TV tuner. The screen is also HD ready supporting up to 1080i through component and VGA.
Unboxing:
The box was rather big and had a handy carry handle to... more
