Advantages: Recording DVD Function
Disadvantages: Does not write on DVD-RW

...With all the Home Theatre products available on the market, it was not easy to decide on which product to buy. The first task undertaken was to get acquainted with the terms and functions available in such systems. Then came the visiting of HiFi centres and checking out several different brands of Home Theatre systems. THE SC-HT25R Finally I came across the Panasonic SC-HT25R. The crispness and quality of the sound was so above the rest that I almost decided on what to buy on the spot. However, there were some other units that I had to check out first. THE DECISION It was clear in my mind which unit I wanted to buy. Apart from the sound quality, this set has the functionality of a DVD Recorder. SATISFACTION Having used this equipment for around 3 weeks, I am pleased that I have done this choice and should I have to decide... Read review

Advantages: Excellent quality, great features!

...A home cinema system is a must for any true movie enthusiast, looking to re-create that cinema feel in the living room. Whilst nothing beats the cinema experience for movies, a good home cinema system goes a long way to enhancing the home movie experience. I have the Samsung HT-Q20 home cinema system in my house, and whilst it's certainly not the best system available on the market, I find it does a pretty good job for the price. The Samsung HT-Q20 is almost a complete home entertainment system, since not only does it offer a dvd player with 5.1 surround sound, but it also has a built in radio tuner, plays audio CD's and has a USB slot for MP3 player compatability. These features were key in my decision for purchasing the system, as it basically meant that there was no need for me to purchase a separate Hi-fi system, which I also... Read review

Advantages: Well built - Stylish - Great sound
Disadvantages: Woofer a little box-like

...full budget towards the sound end of things. I am not sorry I did as this Home Theatre kit really packs a punch. In order to fully appreciate the system your DVD player must have an optical output .. the Sony can actually take input from 2 optical devices. Surround sound is fully configurable according to the position of your speakers and the sub-woofer and, although this took some working out, allows you to get the most from the system. For normal TV and video viewing I find that the Dolby Pro Logic II gives a pretty reasonable effect with the focus of sound from the centre but an extra dimension from the satellite speakers. There are a number of preset modes which allow some quite radical changes to the sound although these are fairly weird and wonderful. The only possible downside of the Sony HT - K25 is that the sub-woofer is very... Read review

Advantages: Portable, Powerful, Hundreds of Features
Disadvantages: Not the fastest CPU but it almost is

...I started looking for a laptop/notebook months ago and i've searched hundreds of web sites for a laptop that is both functional and great looking and the Samsung V25 is the only one i could find! I purchased this laptop from Comet just a few days for a penny short of £1,000 and at the time i was very unsure whether it could really do what i want or not. When i got the laptop home i first discovered i had far more software than the store had advertised and the day before i went down to buy it i was under the impression that it only had a DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive but some advertisement came through for it which also states it has a DVD-RW drive (combo) so i was very impressed. The speed of the laptop is excellent, its an Intel Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz and to me its just as fast as a Intel P4 3.06 Ghz PC with HT that i have recently helped... Read review

Advantages: quick, easysetup, no messing, cleans spotless, cheap, no soaked floors to dry, robust
Disadvantages: none

...I bought this steamer mop about 6 months ago . I have mostly hard floors in my house, 1 very large boisterous dog and 2 mucky kids so I hate having to mop the floors. I thought i would try a simple steam mop, I didn't want anything to flash or a multi talented steam appliance, I just wanted a better faster easier alternative to string mops and soggy floors. The Home tek mop was a cheaper option than most of the other similar steam products It looked simple and straight forward but to be honest I didn't have a whole lot in faith in it becoming like a best friend. I can honestly say I will never look back after buying the Home-tek Ht834 Steam Mop. Its fantastic, Its fast and easy to setup to use, always spotless cleaning and with no effort also the pads are washable, I just chuck mine in the washing machine and not had... Read review

...) music from CD's directly to USB drive. It is useful when computer is not working or is busy. Only one minus is that it goes with maximum bit rate of 128kbs. It is very easy in use and to do it press rec button on your remote controller. DVD reader works perfectly and reads most of DVD's within 2-5 seconds. Since I have it, did not happen to jam or image to freeze when watching movie. Works as it should. Altogether LG HT353SD is a good Home Cinema System for a reasonable price. It is not easy to find another set with competitive properties for such a price. It is a bargain I would say. I can recommend it to anyone as it is a good product and is worth recommendation. Please rate and leave a comment possible Thank you... Read review

...I bought my Fender DG25S several years ago when visiting my brother up in Newcastle. I'd been looking to buy an acoustic guitar for some time and my brother took me to his local music shop where he was friends with the manager. On the first day we got there a little late and the shop was closing, so I only had a chance to try a couple of guitars. In particular, a blonde Gibson (think John Lennon-style) really stood out for me and I thought I'd found my guitar, for £320. We decided to go back the next day at a more respectable hour so I could spend my hard-earned cash. On the second day we bumped into my brother's friend who about to go on his lunch, but mentioned that there was a very nice Fender going on special offer. My initial reaction was that Fender are not renowned for the quality of their acoustics and thought it couldn... Read review

Advantages: Image adjustments to give great view, waterproof, adjustable eye-relief
Disadvantages: fixed magnification, average build and design quality

...Binoculars are mainly used by bird watchers as to get a closer look at them. Many people also use binoculars for occasions such as holidays where they travel to destinations of natural beauty. Using a binocular enables them to see the scenic beauty from a better and closer perspective. The Olympus 8X25 WPI is labeled professional, but can obviously be used by everyday and ordinary people. These particular binoculars have an 8x magnification ability. This is simply the power of magnification on the binoculars, the 8x magnification means that the object or area you view through the binoculars is going to appear 8x larger or closer. The 8x magnification also means that this is the maximum and minimum magnification power of the binoculars. You cannot view an object or place with a lesser or higher magnification than 8x...

...Needing a new pair of headphones, my previous pair being stood on and smashed by a drunken me, I searched on-line and in the shops and decided upon the Sennheiser HD25’s. They were certainly not the cheapest on offer, at the top end of my budget coming in at just under £125 from Superfi about 6 months ago. (I have seen them online now for £99 at Djstore.co.uk) I am not a DJ, nor do I profess to be, but I selected these since they appear very hard wearing, and offer exceptional hi-fi sound quality with comfort. Upon removal from the box, I was delighted with the overall professional build quality; ‘made in Ireland’ was silk-screened on the headband, I would have thought they would have been made in Deutschland! Every part of the headphones appears interchangeable, drive units, pads, cable and headband, certain on-line stores can... Read review
