Homebase Venice Suite

Advantages: Functions, value
Disadvantages: Technical help from Homebase

.... However- what it does do is blow out and circulate cool air, rather than a normal fan which merely circulates warm stale air around the room. Then the next prob, nowhere in Essex had any in stock. I called more than 35 stores, at various loctions. We spent 3 hours driving to several Curry's and Comet's- as they weren't answering their phones (grr). No joy. All our argos stores were out of stock. I wouldn't give up, I know our air quality in my area is bad & we were living in unbearable heat. I started calling up stores again, but this time I did it via head office's- Argos explained they won't have any for at least two weeks! B&Q none, but Homebase had ONE! One unit located 35 miles from me, so head office reserved it & we collected it. Unbeknown to me, it wasn't a 'challenge air cooler' as is advertised on their site... Read review

Advantages: Boils water
Disadvantages: none

...After living for a couple of years with a white plastic jug kettle, that had seen better days. (The plastic had become discoloured and looked grubby). I decided that I needed a change. Something bright and shiny. So off I went to Homebase. As I was walking around the kitchen department that round fat shiny kettle jumped out at me, shouting buy me, buy me. So I did, as you do.I paid £28.99. Other stores sell this beautiful shiny Kenwood kettle so prices may vary. As I have already said this kettle is shiny and roundish with a modern design. The highly polished stainless steel makes it easy to clean. All I do when the kettle is cold wipe it over with a damp cloth and then polish it off with a nice soft dry cloth. The black sturdy handle is ideal for holding when you are filling or pouring from the kettle... Read review

Advantages: makes grating easier, easy to use and clean
Disadvantages: Expensive compared to other graters

...you turn the handle the cheese comes out of the cylinder. You can grate the cheese direct onto a meal or you can store it in one of the plastic air-tight containers provided and stored in the fridge. The JML Kitchen Mill is provided with two cylinders a coarse one producing large gratings and a fine one producing fine gratings. I like to use the fine one for grating chocolate for over deserts and hot chocolate drinks and the coarse one for pizzas and food toppings. JML Kitchen Mill also comes with two containers making food preparation easy, if you are very busy you can make a few containers of cheese, carrots etc and place them in the fridge so that you don't have to dirty the appliance each time. USING THE KITCHEN MILL -------------------------------------- The JML Kitchen Mill is very easy to use as it is suited to both left... Read review
