ML270CDi - What a family car

Advantages: Driving Position, Reliability, Comfort, Service
Disadvantages: no, not really......

...I am on my 3rd ML270CDi, the latest being an '03 with every toy imaginable......they are a simply excellent drive. you have to bear in mind this is a "two ton truck" with a diesel engine, so rapid it is not - however - for a "two ton truck" it is surprisingly nippy and enjoyable to drive. If you make good use of the revs and hold gears, it will perform well. For fast standing starts I offer one tip, hold the brake hard, rev it hard to get the turbo at full pressure and the truck takes off with startling power.....Its only fault is that sometimes you want a quick start from lights or at a crossroads etc and the turbo takes a second or two to wind up!! MPG is very reasonable at approx 34mpg on a run at 70mph, cruise at nearer 85-90 and it goes down fast (not the most areodynamic of vehicles in fairness) to approx 28-30mpg. Turn off...

Cheaper Dolce and Gabbana Feminine 100ml

Advantages: Gorgeous smell which lasts for ages
Disadvantages: none

...I've been using Dolce and Gabbana Feminine for a few years now as I love its gentle, floral fragrance. It lasts for ages once sprayed on and I have always received many compliments as to 'what smells so nice!' by my friends and also some strangers! It has the scents of lily, vanilla, mimosa and sandalwood, amongst others. A very romantic smelling perfume. It comes in a round, chunky, see-through bottle which has a silver lid and is a nice shape to fit in any handbag. From buying it at a large department store and paying over £30.00 for a 100ml bottle, I decided to visit a few perfume websites to see if I could find it at a cheaper price. I visited a few different sites before coming across two different ones offering the fragrance for £19.99 for a 100ml bottle. Both of these sites have perfumes which they sell as 'tester bottles...

SAMSUNG ML 1610 - NICE LITTLE PRINTER

Advantages: neat, small, fast
Disadvantages: doesn't have an integral paper tray

...We have been after a small mono laser printer for a while and once we had bought the laptop computer we wanted a printer that was a bit more portable and easy to use. My husband is a self-employed courier and he prints his invoices out each week and we also need to print out his accounts and vat returns each quarter. Also we print flyers and needed a laser printer because of ink smudging on the ink-jet. We settled on the Samsung ML1610 mainly because of its cost. I did a google search and this came up as a cheap but good model. TECHNICAL STUFF +++++++++++++++ It prints up to 16 A4 pages per minute with 150 mhz processor for immediate printout. 2mb RAM installed. It is classed as "ultra light" being 5.5kg in weight. Easy to use and maintain, front access for toner cartridges and paper insertion. Toner save button...

Canon Ixus 100 IS - Small and oh so stylish

Advantages: Small, Stylish, Auto modes work well, Image Stabilization
Disadvantages: HD Video capability is disappointing

...The Canon Ixus 100 IS is the successor to the Ixus 85 IS model, now with 12.1 megapixels instead of the old 10. The 2.5" screen is retained, as is the optical viewfinder and the 3x zoom capability, but the Ixus 100 IS is packed with new features. Video can now be recorded in HD (720p format) and an HDMI port has been added for viewing your pics on the latest HD televisions. The 100 IS also gets a new DIGIC 4 processor, Autofocus Tracking and Auto Scene Detection! The dimensions have changed in proportion, being a whole millimetre wider than its predecessor, another millimetre taller, but 2mm slimmer with an incredible depth of only 18.4mm. The weight stays about the same at less than 130g and, being similar in size to an iPod, it is very easy to carry around in your shirt pocket/handbag. Indeed, the similarity with the iPod doesn...

100 Reviews = 100 Questions? Perhaps.

Advantages: There are some brilliant songs in there...
Disadvantages: I ramble on for too long about nothing of any interest...but please read anyway!

...Hello all of you lovely Ciaosters - and Mizzaholics alike - and welcome to my 100th review! Quite an achievement, I must say, because my attention span isn't exactly great *walks off to look at an invisible butterfly* Point taken? Anyway - I figured that since this is my 100th review, it would be nice to do the 'Reveal Yourself In 100 Questions' task. Some of these answers might be slightly bizarre but I hope that you'll have read some of my previous things so that you know exactly what to expect...sort of... This review is only slightly longer than many of my others *coughIrambleonalotcough* but please enjoy this Q&A session at your own leisure. There are youtube links along with way to enhance your reading pleasure so I hope you make good use of them. Thank you. Without further ado, let me introduce to you... 1 - First Name...

Be IN - have ML-1630!

Advantages: Excellent design, fast and cheap expenses
Disadvantages: Expensive to buy, prints only common pages

...This printer is not like and common printer - it is due to its design. Samsung ML-1630 has got an excellent design so it is a nice device to have on your table. It is black and on the top side has got glare surface - that is good for design but you have to clean it often. This printer is also very small - its height is only 12 cm. There are fascinating buttons with blue backlight and most interesant is a bar of diodes 13x5 which displays various informations and makes various effects as well. Everything is with sound - yes this printer is playing various sounds like an older mobile phone. The only bad thing is that i was not able to find where to switch this feature off, but they arent loud. Buttons are all touch activable so you only touch button and dont press to switch it. I found a bad thing anout this device - it is not possible...

Toshiba NB100

Advantages: Nice look, good battery life.
Disadvantages: Too small.

...actually pretty impressive. Function The notebook works quite well with wireless internet and doesn't cut off often as I have found with wi-fi on some other laptops. It also has an impressive battery life, in a recent car journey, I found it lasted about 3 and 3/4 hours, easily enough time for all of the film I was watching as well as some of another. It is available in two versions, Ubuntu Linux and Windows XP Home., but the Linux has 512Mb of RAM and an 80Gb hard disk, the Windows one has 1Gb of RAM and a 120Gb drive. I personally own the windows version, since I know more about the operating system and prefer the high memory levels. The rest of it's specifications are pretty average for a note book and it runs as such. Overall The Toshiba NB100 is great if you're japanese and/or believe things should be made...

  Investing in the FTSE 100 Index

Advantages: Cheap products, easy to invest in, good dividend yield, unlike shares in a company will never go bust
Disadvantages: Index concentrated in 10 companies meaning more risk, not for ethical investors, sensitive to oil prices

...Using a trading strategy I have been investing in the FTSE 100 index for the past 9 months. Personally I think the FTSE 100 index is a good place to invest for stockmarket novices and veterans alike. There are many different products that allow you to gain some kind of exposure to the index, which is made up to the 100 largest companies in the UK. In this review I will cover the following in regard to the FTSE 100 index: - What is the FTSE 100 index and what are the main constituents - Products that can be used to trade in the FTSE 100 index - Methods for trading in the FTSE 100 index - My personal view on the current value of the index What is the FTSE 100 index and what are the main constituents The FTSE 100 index is like a barometer that is used to measure the value of the top 100 companies listed on the London...

Review of FTSE 100

Eau so fresh!

Advantages: Very refreshing
Disadvantages: Too expensive

...an extra leaflet with contact details saying that Clarins does listens to its customers so it is open to comments and suggestions (which I find positive). COST The product costs £14.00 at Boots, you can obviously find online deals but if you prefer going to a shop Superdrug does good offers now and again and I paid just over a tenner last time I got it. I suppose it works out that the saving is much more convenient that the Boots advantage points you would get. PRODUCT RANGE The Eau Dynamisante range includes the following products so if you do enjoy the fragrance you can have the whole body range: Deodorant 100 ml Eau Dynamisante 100 ml and 200 ml Body Oil 150 ml Shower Mousse 150 ml Moisturizing Body Lotion 250 ml Shower Gel 150 ml Body Exfoliator 150ml Vitalite' Flacon 200 ml MY OPINION The product is a bit...
