AEG Electrolux Fridge

Advantages: Looks good, full of room, big doors, big shelves, easy to clean
Disadvantages: None

...I moved into my new house about a year and a half ago and as it came unfurnished needed to buy a fridge pretty quickly. Being half American I had always loved the big American Fridges that hold enough food for a family for about a year with a water filter on the front and an ice machine so I had this in mind when I went to Currys. However as I found out these fridges are also quite wide and the space I had to put my fridge in was quite small which is when I came across the AEG Electrolux fridge/freezer. IT was £650 at Currys which I didn't think was too bad. The first thing that attracted me to this fridge was the look and design. It's a free standing, chrome fridge so it's not plastic looking like some fridges. The outside is very easy to clean as it is just wipe clean. It has two section, the fridge portion and the freezer...

Review of AEG-Electrolux S 75358 KG3

Tthe AEG L74810 is quietly impressive

Advantages: performs brilliantly and quietly.
Disadvantages: more expensive than some.

...Here I am about to write a review on a washing machine! I can?t quite believe it. A few months ago the most I could tell you about a washing machine was that if you put dirty clothes in and worked it properly clean clothes would come out, however being that I don?t like to spend a lot of money without checking into things I can tell you I now know a lot more. My tuition on washing machines started in February when my old washing machine started having real problems. Not prepared to part with a large sum of money for a new one without knowing what I should be looking for I started to read a bit about them and when I start reading I can?t stop. The washing machine I eventually chose is the AEG L64810 and I will now endeavour to tell you why. The AEG L64810 has many functions that you will find on most modern machines but also a few...

AEG means Always Excellent Goods

Advantages: Reliable, Easy to use, Excellent results
Disadvantages: Slightly noisy during the spin cycle

...UPDATE: I just read a review of an LG washer that someone just bought. My comment to them was - I wonder what you'll think of this in a year or two. Then I thought, perhaps I should update my own washer review. After going over what I wrote below, I can safely say that this machine is still going very strong, and cleaning our clothes very well. Yes, we have accidentially opened the door when there was water inside and started a flood, but that's our fault, not the machine's. All in all - AEG make really good, strong, lasting machines. Highly Recommended - once again! ***** While this machine is no longer on the market, I've asked Ciao to add it so I can give you all an idea of the quality of AEG machines in general, through my long- term experience with this particular model. And you never know, someone looking at this op...

AEG L16830 Washer Drier..but not necessarily dry

Advantages: good value, plenty of features, great space saver
Disadvantages: the drier is not a patch on a stand alone machine

...The first thing to say is that if you don't need to combine the washer and drier for very practical reasons - ie space, then don't. Don't get me wrong, the AEG is a very well put together machine that does what it's supposed to do - wash and then dry your laundry. The problem is that it doesn't perform these combined tasks as well as single function machines. A house move left us with little option but to get rid of our Bosch washer and Hotpoint drier and we opted for the AEG L16830 on the back of consumer recommendations. It looks good, it's easy to install, it's incredibly quiet on wash cycle, the controls are relatively user friendly and it washes pretty well. But........the drying cycle is very disappointing. You have to significantly reduce the load to get an adequate drying cycle and even this takes forever. Because...

AEG Lavamat Update machine

Advantages: excellent washing performance, energy efficient
Disadvantages: none

...Oh the delight!! I recently bought an AEG Lavamat Update after 12 long trusted years with a Zanussi. How glad i am! The AEG is a superior machine, with functions abounding, yet it is so easy to use, my boyfriend can finally wash clothes with ease!! With this machine you can just wash, rinse or spin separately at varying temperatures and spin speeds, you can delay washes, rinses and spins too as well as the usual start to finish programmes. There is no need to tell the machine how heavy or light the wash load is, as it weighs the clothes in the drum and alters the water usage accordingly. The machine also displays the amount of wash time left to go on the front of the machine. Lavamat Update machines are categorised as being extremely energy efficient. They have full child safety features, water drainage in case of a breakdown...

AEG L16830 Great Machine

Advantages: Quiet, well built, lots of USEFUL features
Disadvantages: none

...What a great machine. We subscribed to Which? over the internet and it cost £2.99 for the first month. It recommend a Miele at £1000 and this AEG L16830 as second choice for £483. For a £500 saving we went for the AEG as it had a larger load capability and there did not seem to be much difference in the Which? score. Like all of the machines reviewed they said the rinse was poor (The Miele was satisfactory) but there is a facility where you can set the machine to give an extra rinse permanently - so that is what we did. It is sooooooooooo quiet coampared to our 13 year old Zanussi. You barely know it is on and when it spins (upto 1600 rpm which is really fast) the noise is still good. The countdown clock lets you know how long to go - useful if you want to go out and hang it all out before. You can also set it to start working in 10...

SDR S26

Advantages: Size, quality, reputation, ease of use. truly pocket size
Disadvantages: none

...Having been stuck with a busted camcorder on the morning on an important family visit, I dashed to a major electrical store to source a replacement, stumbled across this camera, researched the others on display and chose the S26 for ease of use, merit for the make (I bought Lumix TZ5 and have been really pleased with it, quality, capabilities etc, great lens) and general feel for the camera. in my opinion, X70 zoom works very well, resolution excellent for an "older" user and their "junior" assistants. I think that Transfer speed is not rapid, but "so what" in a camera at this price point. Very happy to recommend for general everyday trouble free use. BUT buy it on line for £60 less than the big stores and be even more satisfied that I am Ron...

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...

Remington S9810 Genius Straighteners... not so Genius really!

Advantages: A digital display and the option to change the temperature.
Disadvantages: Poor quality and a horribly expensive price tag.

...I must admit I am a big fan of GHD hair straighteners. Ever since my Mum bought me a pair of them last Christmas I would never go back to any other brand. However I am a member of the Amazon Vine programme and I received a pair of these Remington Genius straighteners for free. Genius Straighteners? Remington state that if you want cutting edge technology that?s usually found in hair salons, then these are the straighteners for you. In fact, Celebrity Hairdresser of the Year, Steven Goldsworthy, goes as far as saying these are the Ferrari of all hair straighteners! After reading this I was certainly intrigued, could they really be as good as they sound? The plates on these straighteners have the most advanced Ceramic coating, vital if you want a smooth finish with your straighteners, rather than a static look. They also...
