Phonic Powerpod 740 Deluxe

Vax - rewriting the definition of "deluxe"

Advantages: It cleans what it is supposed to
Disadvantages: Poor design and quality

I've owned this carpet cleaner with upholstery attachment for nearly exactly two years, when purchased it was on offer at £69.99, currently £81.74 (RRP £149.99)at amazon. The first and probably most important thing I would say about this cleaner is don't pay £149.99 or you may be disappointed. At a lower price this cleaner was a good alternative to me to hiring a carpet cleaner - at the time I was moving out of a rental house and into my own house and so wanted to clean all the carptets myself, and this as I shall explain, the cleaner was able to do successfully, though I have a few reservations about this product, even at a lower price. What you get The Vax VO26 came in quite a compact box. The first task on opening the box is actually to assemble the cleaner. Now call me fussy but for an item with "deluxe ...

Review of VAX V 026 Rapide Deluxe

Not so Deluxe...

Advantages: Situated in a nice area, really friendly staff, basic apartment
Disadvantages: Nothing too special about it, wouldn't go back.

I booked up with Thomson to go to Turkey from London Stansted to Dalaman and to stay at Samira Deluxe Apartment with my other half. It cost us about £750 altogether for one week at the end of June, which I think is OK for a holiday these days. The apartments are 2 hours drive away from Dalaman airport, which some people think is quite a long time; but it didn't seem too long because we were just so tired as we landed at about 1am. We got to the apartments at about 3am. Walking into the reception; it was horrible. Everywhere was covered in moths because they kept all the doors open and all the lights on. They were absolutely everywhere. We were shown to our room and found that we had twin beds that couldn't be moved together and we were both too tired to complain about it, so we both went to bed. Waking up, we went to our extremely ...

Review of Samira Deluxe Apartments, Kalkan

Hot point WF740 in Silver

Advantages: Digital Display, Door opens quickly after cycle ends
Disadvantages: Quite a long wash time for the most used wash cycle

In dire need of a machine that didn't pogo across the kitchen floor we went to Curry's and had a look around. Eventually we settled for the Hotpoint, Aquarius WF740 in silver. The washing machine I had before was OK (except the pogo'ing) and only ever went wrong once in the time I had it but this new machine is so excellent, forgive me if I go on a bit. x THE FEATURES My favourite feature of the Hotpoint WF740 is the digital display. It is an LED display in red and shows up really well when you turn the machine on. As you select the programme you want on the dial it shows you the length of time the wash will take, the temperature and the spin strength. Once you have selected the programme you need and pressed start it counts down the length of time you have left until the wash is finished. This is a brilliant feature as you can ...
