CoolerMaster CM690 is the master!

Advantages: Cheap, well ventilated, screw-less design
Disadvantages: None for me.

...very easy, 2 thumb screws and you're in. What helped me was my power supply as mentioned above was a modular design so i only had to put in the cables i needed. all other cables were easily routed through the plastic clips, these were large enough to tie up most of the cables including the motherboard cable. Inside there is mountings for 7 case fans, 3 fans come pre-fitted, one at the front sucking air in over the hard drives (which has a blue LED), one at the back blowing hot air out and one on the side panel also blowing air out. There are 2 empty mounting points at the top of the case which i think will take up to 14CM fans. The side panel can take up to 2 x 14CM fans, why the case ships with only a 12CM fan I'm not sure the same can be said about the rear fan being 12CM when 14CM will fit. The 4th empty fan space in in the floor...

Kenwood CM651 - coffee maker

Advantages: great tasting coffee at a drinkable temperature
Disadvantages: looks quirky (but maybe you like that)

...Our last coffee machine (Tefal) had been part of our family for nine years - until he sadly died due to being put too close to a rather hot microwave and melted. We spent a very long time searching for a replacement product and finally decided upon the Kenwood CM651. While scouring the market we discovered many different coffee machines which were adorned with various spangaly extras such as timers and "aroma switches" but to be honest - all we wanted was a decent cup of COFFEE! THe Kenwood CM651 has a fairly basic design (which is exactly what we wanted - less to go wrong) Water is poured into the back reservoir which is easily accessable. We use the glass jug for this and discovered that it pours really cleanly without any dribbles! The Kenwoods capacity is 13 cups which is rather generous amount for such a petite design...

Fusion EN-CM525 Component Car Speakers

Advantages: Good value for money, Good sound quality, You get everything you need
Disadvantages: Tweeters can be slightly delicate (so use supplied cross-overs)

...What you get: 1 x pair of 13cm fusion woofer 2 x Grills 1 x pair of fusion tweeters 2 x cross-overs Speaker wire These are the set of speakers which you get with the fusion '4 corner package' (EN-4CNR). I have installed both the woofers and tweeters into the doors of my vauxhall corsa and the sound quality compared with the old factory standard ones is by far a big improvement. I am not using the provided cross-overs purely because they are rather large and secondly my car already has cross-overs in the door. Sound Quality: Originally I had some pioneer 13cm coaxiles which I was very disapointed with as they didn't even seem to be as good as my old standard speakers. When I purchased these I wasn't expecting too much from them to be honest. Like with the 6x9's which I also got in the package I have actually been rather...

TORO 40CM ELECTRIC RECYCLER MOWER 21072

Advantages: Recycles grass clippings, cuts all grass lengths
Disadvantages: Not good for tight spaces, no roller

...Toro Electric Recycler Mower (40cm rotary £229) 21072, 1400 watt electric induction motor Ideal for small/medium sized lawns. It's that time of year again, the grass is growing, the sap is rising, out comes the trusty old mower - "oh****", perhaps its not so trusty after all. Down at the garden centre staff are busy dusting down the machinery and gemming up on the mower manuals to see who can make the best sales. Believe me, ( I have worked in these places) they're not interested in sending you home with a mower best suiting your needs. At the end of the day its sales figures that matter. After being let down by my trusty old flymo last year, I did a little research and brought home a Toro Electric Recycler (40cm, rotary) Mower. I am very pleased with it. It does a quick, quality, no frills (stripes) job and I'm quite...

Korando 2.9D GLS 1997

Advantages: Now holding prices very well
Disadvantages: None

...The Ssangyong Korando 2.9D 4x4 Station Wagon The only other 4x4 I have previously owned is a Range Rover Classic (Vogue). I have read a few reviews regarding the Korando and I can basically tell from these who is reviewing as an owner and who is reviewing a car that may have been borrowed for a review or copied from other reviews. The shape and style: Well it does take you by surprise you tend to love the design or hate it, there seems to be little middle ground, I myself think the design (especially the front) harks back to a true 4x4 jeep design which is what, I think, the designer had in mind, to me this is what a 4x4 should be about, so many models have risen into a luxury bracket where the look seems very generalised, Range Rovers went a little Toyota-ish and some of the others that carried a 4x4 rating were little more than...

Review of Ssangyong Korando

I was born in November

Advantages: It is large and quiet
Disadvantages: It was mainly quiet because it didn't ******* WORK.

...14 mpg, which is terrible even considering the 2.9 engine. When I contacted Ford they also laughed at me, and suggested I buy a Mondeo instead, even though they have as yet after 2 months been unable to supply a brochure. However, as regards the Scorpio I must admit it was well built which one could tell by the solid feel on slamming the door shut at the scene of another breakdown, it could not possibly have required another feature (although in my case the only one not to go wrong was the trip computer ), was extremely luxurious and roomy to sit in while awaiting another recovery man whilst resting in the (unheated due to being broken) leather seats AND admiring the lovely wood finish around me. One would have had to be a millionaire to be able to fill the luggage area with duty free goods. The power steering was extremely useful...

Kia Sedona 2.9LX CRDi 2002 Model

Advantages: Cheap to buy, roomy, versatile.
Disadvantages: Expensive parts and servicing, poor quality trim.

...I have owned a 2.9LX CRDi Sedona manual from new, March 2002. I am a minicab driver and the vehicle has covered 43000 miles to date. The vehicle is used 3 days per week commercially and the rest of the time it is a family car and for continental holidays etc. I hope my report will be a good indication of how this particular vehicle will serve a private motorist over say the next 4 years, considering my mileage. MPG. 28-32 (Those of you reporting more, please tell me how!) Tyres. 27000mls a set, if rotated front to rear at 14000mls. I use original equipment(Hankook) at £200.00 a set. Brakes.

Ford Scorpio Ultima Cosworth Estate

Advantages: I have the Estate so space in the big advantage
Disadvantages: Fuel consumption is not good but you can't have everything

...I have owned several BMW's, Mercedes and Audi but have never felt at such ease and comfort as I do in my 1996 Ford Scorpio Ultima. it pulls away effortlessly and quietly but put it into Sport Mode and stick your foot down to the floor and it literally growls like a lion as it accelerates pushing your whole body back into the lush soft leather seats whilst Queen plays on the 8 Speaker Stereo. What more could you want, looks? Some say that it could look a lot better. I really do not agree. It seems like half of today's cars have copied the looks of the Scorpio anyway and if they didn't I still find the looks of this car different and therefore interesting. I honestly cannot think of a single car available today with the same spec for the same price as a Granada Scorpio Ultima with the 2.9L 24v Cosworth Engine. I suppose that I should...

Kia Sedona CRDi LE 2.9 Auto - 2004 (54) 3700 miles

Advantages: Huge, Comfortable, Looks great, Solid, Sliding doors, value for money
Disadvantages: Turning circle, narrow rear bench, more cubby holes needed.

...extra but it is also covered by the Kia Warrenty because the dealer fitted it. Engine and Economy - We have the 2.9 Common Rail Diesel Injection Auto. The hand book says that it has a 75L tank but I've driven it 20 miles into reserve twice now and only managed to get 65l into it. Out of those 65 litre tanks I manged to get around 350 miles - but I'm expecting that to rise a little as I'm trying to familiarise myself with an automatic again. I've also been driving it a bit harder than I would normally to see what it can do - but the novelty factor will wear off soon! Lovely smooth engine and very quiet too compared to the 1.9 diesel I had in the Galaxy. Will sit at 2500rpm at 85mph. But bigger engine, less work to do I suppose. Styling - Love the look of the car, we have it in Imperial Blue with Privacy Glass and alloy...
