...These straightenners are excellent i would recommend them to anyone as you can change the temperature to suit your hair i.e; Thick or thin. I have Really Thick Frizzy Hair and any other straightners would straighten my hair , i would go out side and Boom!! My hair Would frizz up again, i was considering gettin the nicky clarke kinder4hair straightners but unfortunaly they were sold out so i got the babyliss pro 230 straightners. i think it must have been a sign because now my hair is straight even when i go outside Woo! the babyliss' top temperature is 230C which gives your hair an instant shine with out any hair products.

Advantages: price, heat mat, temperature control
Disadvantages: none

...straightening your hair a quite and easy process. The straighteners have a temperature range between 140C and 230C, the plates are ceramic diamond with teflon coating. The product comes with a handy travel pouch which also doubles up as a heat map, some sectioning clips and a brush. A great set of straighteners for those on a low budget - I know people who have ghd's and comment how straight me hair is!!... Read review

Advantages: fantastic "Auto Cook" facillity (see review),full combination functions, an awful lot of choice.
Disadvantages: You will certainly need the instructions-which are poor(!),oven times etc inaccurate, possible to undercook, terribly difficult to clean.

...I purchased a Sharp R955 Microwave back in 2002 from Iceland in Wolverhampton for £249.95 and took out the Iceland Appliance Care for five years. I purchased it because I needed to upgrade my previous microwave which was a Panasonic dual micro/grill so that I could use a Microwave instead of using a gas cooker-most of my food is frozen. So the appeal of cooking from frozen certainly appealed. The R953 is a a Catergory E 900w microwave with a grill and a convection fan oven. As it is a "combination" it can be set either manually or automatically to cook food using the microwave/grill and oven-hence the term combination. It has a stainless steel interior, two removable wire shelves and a large cermaic plate. A stand for grilling Chicken Joints etc is also supplied. The Oven has settings for 250 C, 230 C,200 C,180 C,160 C, 130 C,100 C... Read review

...mins-this is important as it removes the chance of smoke/fumes ruining your first meal being cooked in the microwave. The Sharp R958 SLM is a fully Combination Microwave which has a Microwave/Grill and Convection Oven facillity. These fuctions can be used independently or together as deemed necessary. It has a 1.4cu ft Stainless Steel Interior and a large ceramic turntable. The Microwave is a 900w Catergory E type and is one of the most powerful available. It can be easily set via the relevant MICROWAVE button to 100% than 70%, 50%,30% than finally 10%. The Convection Oven has settings for 250 C , then 230 C, 200 C, 180 C, 160 C, 130 C, 100 C 70 C and 40 C. This is activated by pressing the OVEN button, selecting the relevant temperature then entering the time-straightforward once the instuctions have been intitially consulted... Read review

Advantages: foolproof autocook function
Disadvantages: turntable stops 90 % short of where it started, not always easy to know what cooking mode is being used, convection oven tends to need longer time to cook.

..., especially as the microwave symbol looks to me as though it ought to be the oven etc. It would really help me if the manufacturers printed a key somewhere on the front as a reminder, especially useful for cooking modes we don’t get to use too often, rather than have something boiling over on the hob whilst I’m feverishly going through the book shelf looking for the instruction leaflet! Another irritating feature is the turntable which invariably stops 90% short of where it began meaning whenever I use a jug, cup or anything with a handle on the turntable it stops with the handle at the back of the oven. Grrr! CONVENTIONAL OVEN The oven heats to 250c in 10 settings. 40c; 70c; 100c; 130; 160c; 180c; 200c; 220c; and 230c. To use the convection oven with pre-heat you just select your chosen temperature and press ‘start’ then, when the oven gets... Read review

Advantages: Looks, Size, Rapid plate
Disadvantages: Cost, safety

...serious about this hob. On cooking this hob is great and I feel that it fits the job required very well. Overall 5 out of 10 The Top Oven/Grill The top oven/grill has 4 shelves slots within it; this allows you to move your tray up and down deepening on how close you want it to the grill. The maximum wattage of this part of the cooker is 1800 watts. When you use the grill to cook toast for example you must leave the door open as if you close the door your grill will turn in to an oven. Once again there is a red light which will come on when the grill switch is on. The light will go out as soon as you turn the grill knob to the off position. Control Knob for the top grill has different temperatures ranging from 80c to 230c. Cleaning is not as easy as I would like it but there again we... Read review

Advantages: Quick speed to get you out of a pickle
Disadvantages: Expensive to buy

...I have previously owned 3 Mercedes cars and really do like the brand not only because of the prestige of owning one of these cars but also because they really are good value and roadworthy. I have only ever had to replace tyres in the past but had been looking around the garages at the 2 door coupe style, especially in the silver exterior with light grey leather interior. Drool, drool and more drool. A couple of weeks ago we happened to be looking at one of our local used car garages when we saw a dark blue pearlised Mercedes 230 Kompressor sports. You know that moment, when you see something even though it is totally opposite to what you were looking for, and you fall in love. Well, that happened to me. I fell in love with this car which was dark blue with black leather interior. I had always INSISTED that my next car would... Read review
