Philips SoundMachine AZ102N - The Soundmaster!

Advantages: Good quality chassis, good sound quality, does everything for the price, looks nice.
Disadvantages: Inbuilt handle could have been better, silver version better than white -preference.

...do not own anything from Philips but believe this was a good purchase and I am sure it will last. Overall an excellent CD/Radio stereo and would recommend it to anyone to is looking for a stereo for the kitchen, bedroom or office. While it is basic it does what it is told without any argument. Thumbs up! ...

Review of Philips AZ102C

An Alarmingly Poor Clock

Advantages: Nice looks, Projection feature, Radio controlled time reception
Disadvantages: The "alarm off" button is minute and located under the clock, Glows very brightly at night

...seems to me how the Oregon RM383P Cube Projection Alarm Clock was created. I bought one recently after the cheap-as-chips Acctim alarm clock that I bought from Woolworths about seven years ago (and which DID have a big friendly button on top, making turning the thing off very easy at 6.30am) finally packed up. With Woolworths having gone much the same way as my old clock, I turned to the internet to help find its successor. Unfortunately, I found ...
...and Other Half has an Oregon alarm clock and had always been happy with it. I paid £24.99 for it through Play.com in November 2009 (and am slightly annoyed to find the exact same site now has it for £19.99). So what do you get for your money, then? Well, look at the item in the product category photo – it does look quite nice, although I should add that it is nowhere near as solid looking or feeling in real life as the photo implies. It is about ...

Review of Oregon Scientific RM 383 P

A brilliant set of speakers!

Advantages: loud, bass, good looking
Disadvantages: fragile

This set of speakers i bought from amazon a few years back. they are truly brilliant i used them a lot for use with my ipod classic and brothers ipod mini and they had great sounds. recently the dock snapped off it. But because the speakers are so good i could not through them out so i have been using them ever since as PC speakers and that takes them to a whole new level. the bass is deep but very clear and the volume from a small set of speakers ...

Review of Monitor Audio I-DECK

Wakes me up (just about).

Advantages: Small, sleek, good alarm fucntions.
Disadvantages: Sound quality could be better at high volumes.

I got this as a gift a year or so back, as I wanted a DAB radio to walk me up in the morning (to Planet Rock). This arrived in my stocking, and was exactly what I was looking for. It is a triangle shape, so it looks cool and sits on your bedside table nicely. It is handy here as the screen is constantly lit up even when off so you cans see the time, it has two brightness settings as well so you can have it to your taste but in all honesty the brighter ...
...a number of settings, primarily alarm settings as that is what it is designed for, so you can set a daily alarm, weekday alarm and weekend alarm which is very handy. It has all of the usual stuff like snooze buttons as well, so you can lay in bed for as long as possible before getting to to rush to get to where you need to be. As for sound quality, it is good enough for it's job, which is waking you up or just listening to the football or some casual ...

Review of Pure Digital Chronos

The Start of The Digital Era...

Advantages: Great Value, Good Features, Fantastic Quality Sound
Disadvantages: Silly Placement of the Mains Plug At The Back

...your home alone. The Pure One Digital DAB Radio is the first and only DAB radio I have owned, you’ve got to move with the times right? I had been thinking about purchasing one for a while after hearing good things about this little radio and have now been enjoying it for about 6 months. The Pure One comes in a choice of 3 colours; black, pink and white. I would have loved to have brought the pink one as it’s a cute pastel colour, but opted for ...
...I was planning on using the radio in my office and most of my colleagues already think I’m a bit OTT with pink! The radio itself I picked up from HMV for £39.99. It came in a simple box packaging with a leaflet with instruction. Although I have never needed to look at these as the radio is extremely easy to use and programme. The design and layout are very simple and stylish and mean it pretty simple to understand what the 7 buttons do. There are ...
