Belkin Surgemaster Maximum Series - 8 Socket

Advantages: Heavy load acceptance, High warranty limit
Disadvantages: None really

This Belkin Surgemaster Maximum Series Surge protected trailing socket is ideal for medium to advanced pc system setups for both the home and office. There are eight sockets and the product has a master on/off switch with an LED so you know whether current is flowing or not. The surgemaster can take a fairly heavy load even with all eight sockets used up and devices running 24 hurs a day. The cable leading to the main wall plug is thick and durable, ...
...The colour is a bit dark, but if you're placing it to the side of or behind your desk it shouldn't really matter. The surgemaster hasa good weight, and won't easily be knocked aside. The product also has a stunningly high £175,000 warranty on it for any damage caused to computer or other electrical equipment as a result of product failure, which is a handy re-assurance to have. The device works well technically, supressing power surges of varying ...

Charges the way it should

Advantages: easy to use, does what it's supposed to
Disadvantages: gets in the way whilst changing gear

I have used a TomTom USB car charger for the TomTom GO 300, which was provided upon purchase of the TomTom device. Appearance As you can see from the picture, the charger is black and consists of a ~2m cable, with a cigarette lighter adaptor on one end, dimensions 2cmx3cm and a total length of ~10cm, which fits snugly in the palm of one's hand. When plugged in to the cigarette lighter in the car, a green indicator lights up showing that it is ...
...The run time of the TomTom after charging is around double that of the charge time. I often drove with the TomTom on charge during use and so my information on these kinds of times is perhaps not as accurate as it could be. Ease of use The charger is easy to use, you simply just plug either end into the cigarette lighter or your car, and the TomTom. Because the cigarette lighter end of the adaptor is around 10cm long, it sticks out quite a fair ...

Quality design at a cost

Advantages: Looks good, extremely clever and useful concept, extension adaptor
Disadvantages: expensive

The design of this is of very high quality, and it's an extremely clever concept - instead of tripping over your laptop power cable and damaging yourself, the cable or the laptop, the magnetic connection used on this adaptor means the cable will just pop out with no harm done. (NB this only works on newer mac laptops). However, design comes at a cost and this is not cheap - up to twice cost of another laptop manufacturer's adaptor, so make sure ...

A great way to access all your music on the move!

Advantages: Charge ipod on the move and access to all your music
Disadvantages: Lots of wires if using both simultaneously

Carrying over 1000 tunes in my bag and at the gym I found it a bit of a waste to be lugging cassettes around especially if I had recently downloaded new tunes. I want to listen to them in my car now! This product allows me the choice of all my music on the move whatever mood takes me and the charger means I can keep ipod powered up so no running out of power at the gym etc. The product consists of a cassette adaptor and a charger which operates ...
...so the battery is continually charged. However this means two wires are hanging loose. I sit my ipod on top of the dashboard and the wires come up to meet it. It would be dangerous to fiddle with the ipod while driving, however the playlists i have set up allow plenty of musical variety so i can just switch it on at the start of the journey and not touch it again. Sound quality is generally good, although when you first switch it on you have to adjust ...

Duracell Plus MN1500 Battery - Shockingly great battery life!!!!!

Advantages: Shockingly great battery life!!!!!!!!
Disadvantages: Not a single one!!!!

Not much to say about a battery however this one is something special. Duracel are the leading brand of battery in the UK and they never cease to impress. They have managed to cram so much power into this little thing that you barely need to replace them. A prime example of this is my remote control in my house, i hadn't changed its batteries for over 2 years and only today did they run out which is the reason i have wrote this review - because i ...
