BhS Bridal Range

Advantages: availability has improved
Disadvantages: for the money you can get better elsewhere

...The title of this piece should read like a joke - as that is what their range of bridal wear is. BhS stopped their bridal wear range some time ago following multiple scandals of dresses not turning up on time, sizes being permanently out of stock etc.... After a short breathing space they have relaunched the bridal range but this time it appears to be more "off-the-peg". I don't know who they have lined up as designers but the words "what designers" spring to mind. The dresses are amongst the most uninspired I have ever seen (and belive me I have seen a lot!). I gave them the benefit of the doubt and tried a couple on. Now granted, I may not be "miss perfect figure 2001" but I am a pretty normal size 12 but I am not certain what creature the dresses were modeled on for it certainly was not human... they were the most awful shape...

BhS, not my cuppa tea

Advantages: Plenty of well located shops
Disadvantages: Bad range and quality

...I remember many Saturdays when I was young being dragged around Stockport, near Manchester, my home town between Marks and Spencers and BhS. My Mum always used to swap between the two, M and S for her quality work suits and shoes and then BhS for her weekend shorts and tops. I remember being really excited when they introduced sports names such as Adidas into the childresn range as my Mum was one of those Mums who thought only her selection of stores was good enough quality for me. However, I recently took a brief shopping trip back to BhS just for a glance around, to see what they had in and I have to admit I was troubled at what I saw. The store has gone badly downhill. I am unsure of whether this was just the shop I visited but the clothes were strewn randomly around the shop, bringing back scary memories of the C&A closing down...

U wanna return our goods...

Advantages: Good occasion gifts
Disadvantages: Mean staff!

...Bhs, just like a cheaper version of Marks and Spencers. From lamps to chocolate hearts, BhS stocks a wide range of products. The quality of the goods is not quite as great as M&S though. They don't fall apart, but the material and stitching doesn't seem to be of as good a quality as that of more expensive shops. But for this the goods are generally cheaper. For example, a pair of slippers are about £20 whereas in M&S they're about £30. The sell clothes for women, men and children. The womens clothes are for those older than 30 as they're really "frumpy" and sensible. One of their ranges that is quite nice for any age, teens to the elderly is their summer swimming costume range. The childrens clothes go up to about the age of 11 or 12. The school clothes are really good as they seem to last for a long time on my brother and sister...

A must for running fans!!

Advantages: Folds away, comfortable, cheap
Disadvantages: NA

...I have always been keen on keeping fit, for my lifestyle as well as my job. But during busy periods i need to do my training from home. So i asked around and was recommended by my friend the BH Fitness Cruiser Plus. I wanted to test it beforehand, so i had a quick preview and test on his. Instantly i was interested. Most running machines have a hard surface, this one has less impact on the legs, making running more comfortable, safe and giving less impact on joints. The running vinyl is also gripped, making slipping an allmost impossibility. What i usually find very annoying is the noise machines make when running on them, this was incredibly quiet surprisingly and extremely balanced, making your training alot more enjoyable. The machine has various speed levels, so you can vary your training as well as the machine being suitable...

Broken Rear Guards

Advantages: Works
Disadvantages: Broken Rear Guards

...Broken Rear Guards I am new to treadmills. I am learning to concentrate whilst walking/running, to stay in the middle of the running surface, to keep up with machine! We have recently gotten a BH Fittness G6446N Pioneer Premium Plug & Run. Purchased sight unseen via the internet. At the rear of the running deck are 2 plastic guards. I note that this design feature is shared by all of the G6400 series of Treadmills. The guards are held on by friction and one screw, the internal support and plastic casing/body is weak and flimsy. These guards have not lasted very long and will not take even slight impact. Granted you want to protect the workings of the belt and make the thing look good but they break and are almost impossible to repair. The should be "detachable" and clip on/clip off. Replacement of each broken guard...

Review of BH Fitness Pioneer Pro Folding Treadmill

What fantastic quality for a great price

Advantages: Good quality, reasonable priced, wash well without shrinking
Disadvantages: Not necessarily a large selection in every store.

...I'm lucky enough to have a host of friends and family that buy my baby clothes whenever they have an excuse (and quite often when they don't!) BUT I'm always stuck buying the boring things - bodysuits, sleepsuits, shoes, socks and 'everyday' clothes - everyone LOVES buying 'special' clothes don't they. Living pretty close to a BhS store, I have them invaluable for such items - and they are FOREVER having sales on children's clothes. You can always pick things up at a very reasonable price. The clothes last the time (my one year old is still wearing a couple of 6-9 month tops that she's had since 6 months!), they wash well and the colours don't fade. They use fantastic colours for whole ranges (therefore making my husband find it easier to mix and match) and they use lovely materials. I would recommend looking in their sale...

A wonderful little ice maiden

Advantages: Bowl does not need prefreezing,compact,well made
Disadvantages: the batteries,but this can be overcome

...I am concerned about the ice cream in the supermarket s and the added hydrogenated fats and preservatives etc. I only usuall buy organic ice cream and at nearly £4 for a 500ml tub it can be expensive if you have a family that likes ice cream. I wanted to get an ice cream maker but did not want to spend an awful lot on a big machine,and frankly I do not have the room. I also did not want a machine where I have to pre freeze the bowl for nearly a whole day before being able to actually make anything! There is also the fact that I dont always have that much room in my freezer. While looking on the net I discovered the Panasonic BH941, bowl does not need prefreezing,compact ,Ice cream can be made without too much advanced planning and its cheap!! The only place that sells it on the high street is John Lewis, apart from this you can...
