Amcor DC800 Dehumidifier & Air Purifier

Advantages: Portable, dries laundry, filters air, multiple settings, cheap to run.
Disadvantages: Slightly awkward for emptying if you have long nails :)

...We had a serious problem with dampness and an equally serious problem with the cost of electricity and the continual wet weather. With no radiators to help dry clothes, the tumble dryer was eating into the household budget. That's when I found out about dehumidifiers and how economical these can be, plus, they can be beneficial to your health. After much research, I settled for the Amcor DC800 Dehumidifier & Air Purifier in one. I got mine for less than £80 including P&P and it has been the best purchase I've made in 2008! Mine uses about 1 unit of electricity per day and I'm amazed at how quickly it got rid of the musty, damp smell in the house, plus it's great for sitting under the 'pulley' or next to the clothes airer. The air that comes out of it isn't warm but it's circulating purified air whilst drying the washing...

Review of Amcor DC800 Dehumidifier & Air Purifier

Great value cooling machine (Challenge AF10000E air conditioner)

Advantages: Good value for money and efficient.
Disadvantages: Not so portable and noisy.

...Introduction If your bedroom is in the loft, you will know that in summer temperatures get very high, temperatures in my loft bedroom have gotten as high as 38C! As you would have gathered living in a loft at such high temperatures is no joke. The first summer I was living in the loft I purchased an air cooler which was useless as it just threw extra moisture into the room. The next summer I done a lot of research and concluded that an air conditioner would be my best bet since the loft was already insulated and well ventilated. The main cause for discomfort is humidity, the higher it is the more uncomfortable you feel and air conditioners dehumidify and cool the air. Purchase Before buying anything I like to do a lot of research, so before buying this air conditioner I done some research. As some of you may have gathered from...

Review of Challenge AF10000E Portable Air Conditioner

A revitalising conditioner!

Advantages: Great scent, tangle free hair, only a small amount required, great price.
Disadvantages: None

...Original Source make products which contains 100% natural essential oils, no synthetic fragrances and they do not test their products on animals. This is part of the reason why I enjoy using their guilt free products, that and the gorgeous scents that they carry because of the sheer amount of natural oils and ingredients that are used in making Original Source products. This conditioner is stated as being for all hair types and I find this to be fairly accurate because I have greasy hair while my Mother suffers from slightly dry, flyaway hair and we have both used this on a couple of occasions with great results. This conditioner is supplied in a long bottle which thins towards the end and it is designed to stand on it's lid (which is a black flip top) and it is very easy to grip and open whilst in the shower. When the conditioner is...

Review of Original Source Eucalptus & Mint Conditioner

Fit for a Duchess? Duchy Originals Conditioner.

Advantages: Pleasant scent, left hair soft and fragranced
Disadvantages: Price, price, price!

...Review of Duchy Originals conditioner. I am reviewing the Rose and Mandarin version of the conditioner, there are several different fragrances in the range, but this review will concentrate on Rose and Mandarin only. I was given a bottle of Duchy Rose and Mandarin shampoo recently by my daughter. She had bought it, tried it and disliked it, so passed it on to me, a few days later she turned up with the matching conditioner. The Product ?A creamy, nourishing, protein conditioner made with organic Rose and organic Mandarin Essential oils? is the strap line on the label. Anyone who read my earlier review on the shampoo in this range, may recall that I was less than impressed with that product, so my expectations of the conditioner were fairly low! The conditioner is presented in a rather old fashioned, recyclable, clear...

Review of Duchy Originals Conditioner

Sunsilk Conditioner

Advantages: -
Disadvantages: -

...Sunsilk Deeply Brunetter conditioner can be bought in the section of shops that sell hair care and hygiene products. It is a great conditioner to keep your brunetter hair feeling soft and smelling great. It is priced around £1.50 a bottle which is a great price for a conditioner that works so well. To apply this conditioner you do so in the same way that you would any other conditioner, it is easy to rinse out of your hair, try and leave it in for a few minutes to enhance its effects. This conditioner can be used every day as it is not too harsh on your hair and it is reasonably priced. After drying my hair after using this conditioner I noticed that my hair smelt great and that it was in great condition, this conditioner doesnt leave your hair as nice as when you use a more expensive conditioner for example bed head but...

Review of Sunsilk Deeply Brunette Conditioner

Gulf Air

Advantages: clean, comfortable, good service
Disadvantages: No direct flights out to Asia

...I have flown repeatedly with Gulf Air out to various places in Asia from India to South East Asia and the far east. These have always required a stop-off in the gulf area of the Middle East, almost always Bahrain which is the airlines hub. The airline has connections from London, Paris and Frankfurt out to Bahrain and from there there are plenty of connections out to Asia and to various places around the Middle East and Islamic countries such as Sudan and Iran. Thus it isn't the best connected airline for those trying to connect from Western Europe as it will almost always require a change over unless Bahrain is the final destination. The main reason I have flown with Gulf Air is that they have consistently been the cheapest option on offer for flights out to Asia-perhaps because of the required change over. I have flown with them for 3...

Review of Gulf Air - GFA

Air Southwest

Advantages: Customer Service, Regional Destinations
Disadvantages: Can be expensive for late bookings

...I had to travel recently to meet up with some friends in London and this airline provided the easiest way to ge there! I work in travel and thought I'd offer a professional opinion on their services. THE COMPANY and THE PLANE Air Southwest is a small airline based in Plymouth and Newquay and operates between 12 destinations all over the UK and Ireland. During the winter they have also been flying to Grenoble for the skiers in the region. They fly Bombardier dash 8 Q300 aircraft - this translates as a prop plane with 50 seats on board with the same seat layout as you would find on most coaches - two on the left and two on the right. For your convenience there is a lavatory and washroom at the front of the cabin. THE JOURNEY I flew from Plymouth to London Gatwick, travelling out on Saturday morning and returning the Same...

Review of Air Southwest

Freshen your room with Fresh Air Globe

Advantages: Definitely does help to freshen the air drawing in impurities
Disadvantages: Main unit is £39.99 and replacement oils are £9.99 each

...I purchased the JML Fresh Air Globe and am glad I did! The globe comes with 2 fragrance oils - 1 eucalyptus and 1 lavender which offer both a stimulating or soothing experience. Within the unit there are coloured led lights which change randomly thus creating a relaxing atmosphere when using the appliance in a darkened room. It is amazing how much dirt the water collects (much better in the water than breathing it in). The only drawback with this appliance is that replacement oils are a bit pricey at £9.99. I have been using the JML Fresh Air Globe for about a year now and would definitely recommend it to anyone. Maintenance is exceptionally easy. When the water becomes cloudy simply empty the basin, rinse and refill. The filters are easy to clean too and unclick so you can get access....

Review of JML Fresh Air Globe

Clean air?

Advantages: it does work.
Disadvantages: replacement filters, breakdowns.

...The idea of an air purifier for home use is a good one. You will need to be able to quickly and easily replace any filtration units and have a machine that is not too obtrusive for any domestic use. Way back in January 2006 I bought 4 of these air purifier units. I am a smoker but I like to keep my smoking to only one room of my house and I wanted to try to keep this from going into all the other rooms. This was not the only reason as both my wife and myself seem to suffer a bit with hay fever. I wanted to get a filter into several rooms of the house. My wife wanted a unit that had a HEPA filter, I just wanted something that could keep the room air somewhat clean and be easy to use. To this day I am still somewhat unsure what a HEPA filter is and why it is supposed to be good. At the time the houses on each side of us were both...

Review of Bionaire BAP242 AIR Purifier WITH Ioniser

Amcor not to hot to handle

Advantages: portable,easy to operate,easy to maintain
Disadvantages: heavy,can be noisy at times,need a window/vent nearby

...I dont know if its an age thing,but the older I get the hotter I get Thats not a problemi in the winter,but come the summer and living in a terraced house with a south facing garden, add an immersion heater into the equasion and you can understand that the temperature in my bedroom made it very uncomfortable. I has tried a large oscillating fan,all that did was shuffle the warm air and it was noisy. We recently invested in an Amcor Ram air-conditioner in work and it immediately impacted on the overall environment I was so impressed I went out and bought one .It cost about £150 from a local electrical shop.it was,nt on dispaly it had to be ordered. I waited a week and it was delivered,glad to say two beefy young men brought it ,as its quite a weighty object,about 35 kg. They took it upstairs and wheeled it into my bedroom. It...
