Fuji FinePix S1500. Descendant of the S1000fd

Advantages: Huge zoom, Focus Tracking, Easy to use
Disadvantages: Bulky, A little slow, AA batteries are a bit inconvenient

...The Fuji FinePix S1500 is the latest incarnation of the very successful FinePix S1000fd. It is very SLR-like in appearance and the added bulk of the battery-holder/grip does give it an assured feeling in your hands. Of course, this can be a disadvantage, and if you want a camera that you can just slip in-and-out of your pocket, then maybe a slimmer compact should be considered. The 12x optical zoom is excellent and it equates to 33-396mm in 35mm terms - and if this isn't enough, there is a 5.7x digital zoom feature too. The menus are friendly and easy to navigate, and there are helpful explanatory prompts that appear on thew LCD screen when the mode-dial setting is changed. There are 14 preset scenes to choose from, each setting the camera to its optimum settings for the given scenario, but on top of this, the camera can be used...

BT Studio 1500

Advantages: cordless with answer phone, alarm and looks good
Disadvantages: caller display not what it seems! no loudspeaker

...BT Studio 1500 Cordless Phone with Answering Machine The BT Studio 1500 is a silver cordless telephone with answering machine, I paid £29.74 for mine a year ago from Asda but they have come down in price since as newer models have come out. The Base Unit The base unit has a 2 metre cable so you need to place it within 2 metres of a mains socket and your telephone socket. BT also advise that you place it 1 metre away from other electrical appliances to avoid interference and this probably is a good idea as mine is only about 50cm away from other appliances and at first I did get some interference although it seemed to diminish over time. They also say that placing the base unit as high up as possible gives you a better signal strength. The base has two connections at the back, one for the telephone line and one...

Pure 1500 handheld DAB / FM Radio

Advantages: Good Quality reception, easy to use.
Disadvantages: Navigator button too small, On the expensive side, No case included with radio

...I purchased a Pure 1500 Handheld DAB / FM Radio and had it for one week as I did not get on very well with the buttons. I consequently found something else in its place. Here is the lowdown of the Pure 1500 handheld DAB Radio. What it does: FM and DAB with RDS (Radio Data System) which displays the radio broadcast data, ie: The station name, song data, artist data etc. Rechargable battery which boasts to last for upto 24 hours using DAB. 20 Presets (10 FM stations and 10 DAB stations which means your favourite stations can be stored and accessed at the touch of one button. 5 EQ Settings Hardware: The casing is made from metal and was slightly bigger than I was anticipating. The device has plastic silver buttons (which seemed a bit tacky and I am not sure why they didn't use metal buttons instead (maybe a weight issue...

Binatone MD1500

Advantages: small, call ID, battery life.
Disadvantages: nothing much.

...This Binatone MD1500 cordless homephone is a very useful phone, really handy small size and with plenty of useful features. I have two different cordless phones in my house, the other is a BT F70 big bulky handset. The Binatone is by far the better phone in my opinion, other than the fact that this phone disconnects my internet when in use but that is just my connection problems... It is a nice small phone which is comfortable to hold, well designed. Looks pretty sitting in the corner of the room too. It has an inbuilt loudspeaker which is useful for long phonecalls when your arm aches from holding it too long. The control button for the loudspeaker is the red button above the green call button. This is sometimes a bit annoying as it looks like a end call button like on a mobile phone so don't get confused. Another useful feature...

Review of Binatone MD 1500

Vaporetto 1500

Advantages: Excellent for cleaning kitchens and bathrooms.
Disadvantages: Only partly effective in cleaning carpets.

...I was advised prior to purchase that Polties are good across the whole range, and funtionally there is little difference between machines at the top and bottom of the range. In these circumstances, I bought the 1500 for £270. Prior to this I had owned a Goblin which was dreadful. It was nearly always broken, even after extensive repair. I was similarly unhappy with the Prisma Ladyhouse which was seriously broken on arrival. The second machine leaked badly and I had to return it to the supplier. There is a lot of rubbish out there. The Polti 1500 is excellent. Just a few points about steamcleaners: (1) They are good for cleaning carpets unless you want to surface clean or remove pet hair. The same applies to upolstery. (2) They are wonderful for cleaning tiling, kitchen surfaces and hardfloors. (3) They are good...

Canon Ip1500

Advantages: cheap ink, fast printing, quiet mode
Disadvantages: If not in quiet mode then it can be quite noisy

...The canon ip1500 is probably the best printer i have had, It is smart looks good and unlike other cheap models out there it works perfectly fine, This printer is a fast printer and has several features like head cleaning and low ink warning. The ink for this printer unlike some others on the market is also cheap so you cant go wrong with buying a canon ip1500 cheap printer which does a good job and cheap ink which lasts a while. Its fast reliable and cheap. This printer retails at about £40 and the ink i used to buy from a site called choice stationary and i pay about £3 for my ink. Black and colour. I have had my printer now for about 2 years and i have not had one problem with it at all. I use it all the time for printing documents and work related stuff. basically if you want a standard printer from printing documents etc and want...

Suvuki Intruder 1500LC

Advantages: Bags of grunt at low revs. Long wheelbase for stability when towing.
Disadvantages: lots of shiney bits to take off to do the most basic maintenance.

...and the bike still plays with it. Down side of the LC1500, the shiney bits. Even to top up the oil you need an allen key to take off the shiny side cover. This is the storey with all maintenance jobs, spark plugs, battery, etc. all hidden behind shiny bits. But again, that is what this type of bike is all about....Looks. I would consider an essential bit of kit with this type of bike is a hydraulic bike lift. I have found it so useful and time saving. As the bike has no centre stand (who but a body builder could haul it on to one), used to support the bike vertical at ground level makes basic maintenance and saftey checks so much easier, and jacked up to the top, dropping the back wheel for new rubber is so much easier than a complete strip of the back end to get the wheel out. Summary, as i could talk for ever. Having covered several thousand...
