JMB U3004

Advantages: modern. reliable.
Disadvantages: none

...i recently bought a J.M.B C2005 is a cylinder vacuum cleaner. i hate to say it but i actually wanted a dyson :( i like the clear bit in the middle! it but then this one caught my eye as it looks like a dyson but its cheaper! great! it even had the clear bit in the middle! it looks good as well as not having to replace bags of course.! so i bought it and woke up extra early on saturday morning to do my cleaning. it had all the funky atatchments - upholstery brush , upholstery tool, crevice tool - the hose was very flexible unlike my old one which used to bend and then make funny noises like it was suffocating! it has a carry handle which is very good! my older one was a bit bulky and i used to have trouble carrying it up the stairs. on the whole i love this vacuum cleaner. it does the job ofcourse. it was cheap. and ofcourse it looks...

Advantages: Doesn't need refilling during ironing,works vertically
Disadvantages: fairly slow to reach full steam, can topple when stood upright,expensive to buy

...Against other people's advice i invested in a steam generator iron, I chose the JMB model because it was a lot cheaper than the better known brands, and having bought products from them before and been pleased with them, I took the plunge.

Popping into town on BH Monday saw me checking out the metal/plastic in person before I settled on the JMB (yes, I'm getting nearer to an opinion soon). I'd not heard of that name before and was dubious. However, in Littlewoods Index shop the flash SALE sign caught my eye, as these things tend to, so I checked the JMB number out in the metal. Yes, SS, retro, big slots and cheap. I'll take one. £17.99 reduced from £21.99 (they are now £18.99). The cheapest SS model around by far. Would it be cheap and nasty in the kitchen? After an extensive trial lasting over a intensive 3 days (yeah, right) I'm very happy with the slightly impulsive bargain buy. It has (TL1000): -Variable browning control. -Extra-long variable width slots, that hold their contents firmly... Read review
