Weight of TV 47.6kg. Weight of stand 19kg. One thing I was worried about when we ordered was the new 100hz technology on some TV's. (Rate the picture is refreshed). Would we need it? Should we buy a more expensive TV with it? Some say that regular 50hz TV's can flicker on big screens. I have never found any problem with flickering, the picture is crystal clear. So that was the only thing I was worried about... Read review

Advantages: Chock full of features for a great price!
Disadvantages: No inbuilt Dobly/DTS decoders no DVD+R support.

...DVD has taken-off in the UK, and many people - many of used to the simple yet flawed VHS tape are considering taking the plunge and entering the DVD format. Never feat Pioneer is here, for a DVD newbie - or someone who wants the convenience of DVD without the expense this offering from Pioneer is perfect. Pioneer helped invent the DVD format, and nowadays they make (in my opinion) the best DVD format hardware around. Check out my Pioneer DVR106D review! Pioneer have also bowed to pressure (and market demands) for an entry-level DVD player with great features and the slim-line design that expensive models had enjoyed. Pioneer DV454-S ------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Features: -->Slimline design (only 5.5cm high!) whic is both ergonomic and great looking! -->MP3 CD: MP3 Data...

Looks/Style - The freezer is white and looks really good. It is small and compact. It has a shelf, and comes with an ice scraper and an ice... Read review

Advantages: Relatively robust , reasonable value., practical colours
Disadvantages: Grill door must remain open when in use

...I purchased the silver version of this freestanding gas cooker and grill some 10 weeks ago. The cooker is available finished in either silver or gold enamel which appears to be quite robust and hard wearing. The cooker top is black as are the sides. I thought the WL stood for without lid, but it seems from the instructions that it means waist level. This was clearly lost on me at the time of purchase but I did not require a glass lid in any case. Beware confusion in the listed title description of this product. It is certainly not for LPG (liquid propane gas connection) and this is specifically mentioned in all the literature. The 550 version is 55 cm wide and if you have the space, well worth upgrading to 55cm cooker, since it is surprising just what extra can be fitted into the oven when friends arrive. With catalytic...

Advantages: keeps the child amused for hours
Disadvantages: none

...hurting there feet. There is a high back so it supports them while they are in there. It has volume control so if you want peace and quite you just turn it off. It comes apart to be washed so no trying to scrub clean them hard to reach parts. It folds away so you can take it out with you or just fold away at the end of the day. Height 55cm Length 85cm Width 55cm You need 3 size C batteries It costs around £49.99 My overall review on this toy is its brilliant as my daughter still loves playing in it. Now so it’s good for the money. I would recommend this to any parent or person looking to bye a young child a toy... Read review

Advantages: Lots of special features, looks good, feels good, Bosch quality product.
Disadvantages: Handle is not always practical, only 4 wash programmes.

...: 81cm width: 59.8cm depth: 55cm and a weight of about: 41kg. This ensures it is not so big that it is impractical but also not so small that it looks like something a child would have in a dolls house. It also has 4 cleaning programs and over 12 place settings meaning that it can clean just about anything in your kitchen. All in all, this is a spectacular piece of machinery and I would certainly recommend it to anyone. The SGV 46 M 43 feels good, looks good and certainly works hard to keep your cutlery sparkling clean. Specifications: * Product Name : Bosch SGV 46 M 43 * Category: Dishwasher * Brand: Bosch * Design type: Integrated * Programs: 4 * Noise level: 49dB * Number of Temperature Levels: 4 * Place Settings: 12+ * Delayed Start Option: Yes * Energy Rating: A * Cleaning...

Advantages: Small and fits on key ring
Disadvantages: no flash

...The mini digital is so small it’s a key ring. It’s actual size is 1cm thick, height is 4cm and width is 5.5cm so as you can see its small. Fits in the palm of your hand. It's very lightweight so you can fix it to your keys and it goes where you go. It’s silver in colour and looks like something James bond would own. It has a small viewfinder, which actual slides up via a small push button on the side. The front of the camera has an LCD displaying the current setting and number of photos remaining. It doesn’t look real because its on a key ring. You may find people wonder what you are doing pointing it at them. Ok so what does it do. It can take basic pictures without a flash. You can use the viewfinder to frame the shot. The viewfinder itself is a magnifier so you can see what you are taking without... Read review

Advantages: Small, great pictures, lots of modes
Disadvantages: Small zoom. Battery life? Control joystick

...This is my first digital camera which I acquired a couple of years ago. It's about 11cm long, 5.5cm tall and 3.5cm wide. That means it is pretty small and can fit in your jeans pocket (unless you have tight jeans). The camera is powered by a proprietry rechargeable battery (supplied). The battery is charged in its own dedicated charger (also supplied). This is fine but it means that when the battery drains you can't just pop into Woolworths and buy some disposables to get you through the day. A bit of a drawback. You really need to buy a spare battery and charge both of them before you go out. I'm also noticing that the batteries are losing their charge VERY quickly these days. I don't know if this is a problem with the batteries, the charger or the camera itself. The memory card used is the Compact Flash type and you... Read review

Advantages: easy to use and reasonable price
Disadvantages: none

...why I went for the Sony. PRODUCT : Appearance: It is I suppose what you would call old fashioned, because of its shape, just bog standard. It is silver in colour and has a black dial on the right hand side of it. It has an orange led display. It only measures 19 cm in width and 55 cm high, so it’s compact for fitting on to my bedside cabinet. Features: It is mains powered. It has FM/MW/LW options with a PLL digital tuner, so you can wake up to music or the buzzer alarm. Dual alarm, which enables you to set two separate alarm times at once, which is great if you and hubby have to get up at different times. There is a button that allows you to make forward and reverse time settings, which is good, as quite often, with my old one, I would whiz over the setting time for the alarm and have to go all the way around...
