Isomac Venus

Advantages: Amazingly soft, smooth skin...everywhere!!
Disadvantages: Pain. Oh the pain!

...Body hair. For me-not a nice thing. I want to be like the lovely ladies on the Venus ad's-smooth and hairless from head to toe. The Braun Silk Epil is a godsend! I feverishly unwrapped the little miracle from the packaging and threw the instruction manual aside-I laugh in the face of instructions!! I plugged the Epilator into the wall and pressed the "on" button. I didn't use the ice pack (nill patience for instructions, silly me) I put the thing against my leg and Oh the pain!! I didn't care though, the hairs were flying off in all directions like someone was trimming a tree, I had a big red track mark showing the bit I had already done, but I didn't care, it was so smooth!! I then went into a bit of an epilating frenzy, I finished my legs but I wanted more! More! I went onto the knees, then the thighs-it doeant... Read review

Advantages: Looks nice and feminine
Disadvantages: Not as smooth results as desired!

Rating: 7/10 <<<Performance>>> As I said earlier, this ladyshave is most suitable for day to day maintenance shaving. But I have found that to get a really good smooth results, for say a night out and you want smooth legs, you really have to shave for a while, going over the same spots multiple times, which then can lead to dry skin and irritation. This then links in with charging problems, because I have many times had to stop shaving before going out to put the shaver onto charge, because in my battle for the promised silky smooth legs-my battery ran out! So, I’m afraid I’m reduced to relying on my Gilette Venus to get really smooth legs. However, I use my ladyshave for general shaving, and it... Read review

Advantages: Price, Ease of use
Disadvantages: No nut dispenser

...you don’t use an oven glove. Yes even the little handle that lifts the pan out of the machine gets hot. Be warned. After applying cold water to a burnt appendage for approximately 10 minutes we were free to look at our masterpiece. A cooling rack was found and the pan turned upside down. Now on other loaves that I have seen that came from a bread machine, I have found there to be a rather large hole at the bottom where the kneader fits in, Not so with the Kenwood BM200. The kneader slides out of the bread leaving a small slit, not a crater the size of Venus like other machines. In all the bread had risen well, it was crusty enough on the outside, yet light and fluffy on the inside, it sliced well (although I think that’s a measure of slicing talent rather than bread making ability) and tasted delicious. So that’s my experience... Read review
