Vax - rewriting the definition of "deluxe"

Advantages: It cleans what it is supposed to
Disadvantages: Poor design and quality

...I've owned this carpet cleaner with upholstery attachment for nearly exactly two years, when purchased it was on offer at £69.99, currently £81.74 (RRP £149.99)at amazon. The first and probably most important thing I would say about this cleaner is don't pay £149.99 or you may be disappointed. At a lower price this cleaner was a good alternative to me to hiring a carpet cleaner - at the time I was moving out of a rental house and into my own house and so wanted to clean all the carptets myself, and this as I shall explain, the cleaner was able to do successfully, though I have a few reservations about this product, even at a lower price. What you get The Vax VO26 came in quite a compact box. The first task on opening the box is actually to assemble the cleaner. Now call me fussy but for an item with "deluxe...

Not so Deluxe...

Advantages: Situated in a nice area, really friendly staff, basic apartment
Disadvantages: Nothing too special about it, wouldn't go back.

...I booked up with Thomson to go to Turkey from London Stansted to Dalaman and to stay at Samira Deluxe Apartment with my other half. It cost us about £750 altogether for one week at the end of June, which I think is OK for a holiday these days. The apartments are 2 hours drive away from Dalaman airport, which some people think is quite a long time; but it didn't seem too long because we were just so tired as we landed at about 1am. We got to the apartments at about 3am. Walking into the reception; it was horrible. Everywhere was covered in moths because they kept all the doors open and all the lights on. They were absolutely everywhere. We were shown to our room and found that we had twin beds that couldn't be moved together and we were both too tired to complain about it, so we both went to bed. Waking up, we went to our extremely...

Deluxe building brick set

Advantages: Really good selection of bricks
Disadvantages: none

...I was trawling the toy section to find a product I knew about and I found masses of Lego and Duplo that no one has written about. I spied a deluxe box of Duplo and thought I would write about it. I have played with many Lego and Duplo bricks with children in my career and always think the Duplo good. Duplo bricks last well my grandchildren are playing with my daughters bricks that she played with 29 year olds ago. This deluxe box of Duplo is a fairly new product I think it would make a great present for any child between the age of 1 year and 4 years. Over 4, yes your child will still play with Duplo but may begin to want slightly more complex bricks Duplo bricks are a hard plastic bricks that fit into each other in the same way as Lego. They are bright colours red, green, and blue, yellow, black. These bricks are larger...

Deluxe changing for baby!

Advantages: Lovely design. Comfy.
Disadvantages: A faff to clean.

...The 'Roundabout' nursery décor range at Mama's & Papa's is a funky, modern range, available in pink (with the main characters being 2 bunnies) for girls, & blue (with the main characters being 2 dogs) for boys. After finding out 'bump' was blue, I opted for the latter....! Since I love contemporary, minimalist style the nursery had to be the same way, but whilst still looking like a baby's room. This range fitted the bill perfectly, although it took a few weeks of shopping around to reach the conclusion that the extortionate M&P prices were worth it.... The changing mat is one of the 'deluxe' range as M&P term it. They do sell standard changing mats at reasonable prices, but the deluxe range tends to co-ordinate with one of the many décor ranges & come with additional features. The Roundabout Boys changing mat comprises...

Flight Sim X (Deluxe) Im impressed already!

Advantages: Excelent graphics, sound, multiplayer function and easy to use for beginners
Disadvantages: High spec PC needed to get the best performance.

...and textures but it runs smooth and jerk free. At the moment I can't really comment on the scenery as you will need Direct x10, Windows Vista and a whole load of memory at least 1GHz recommended and a decent graphics card! However I have completed about 17 of the 52 missions and I am now impressed. The missions are more realistic than FS9 and I have managed to get plenty of flying time in on these alone! The other bonus of the Deluxe version is the Multi Player Online Gaming. I recommend that you get yourself a set of headphones with a microphone for this added experience! Other positives about FSX is the extra default aircraft, there is a challenge for any skill level of pilot. Beginners can work their way up from an ultra light all the way to a Boeing 747, with plenty of other aircraft in between with various colour schemes. Also...

Microsoft Flight Sim - Deluxe Edition

Advantages: Graphics, Addictivness, Easily playable for begineers
Disadvantages: Need a powerfull machine to get the best from it

...Wow, what a game. After my inital 20 minute install and several cups of coffee while i waited I was not dissappointed with the end result. I have a fairly powerfull machine (A pentium dual core 2.9 ghz processor with 1gb ram and 512mb geforce graphics) and the graphics a gameplay do not fail to dissappoint. In saying this the level of detail is still not turned onto maximum so i have reduced airtraffic and some anti-alias settings turned off. Even so the end result is good. I have always been a fan of flight sims but the control systems are someties tiresome, not in this case, they are easy to grasp and the maual explains all well, with some good intoduction training lessons for the flight sim beginner. The deluxe edition is a must as it has additional aircraft and the cities are more detaild, although this is only noticable if you are...

Deluxe Eyes.......... I Wish!

Advantages: Reasonably priced.
Disadvantages: The smudger, I can't use it!!

...This was yet another one of my big bag of Christmas goodies, how lucky am I? ~ w7~ w7 is sold on the high street, exclusively at Superdrug. I know some of you may have the opinion that Superdrug is in no way 'exclusive' but there are lots of bargains to be had and are in my opinion good competitors for Boots. There are a range of make-up bag essentials available from w7 which I may bore you with over the next few weeks! ~ Price ~ All of the w7 products are very reasonably priced at £2.99. ~ Where to buy it? ~ As stated earlier these are exclusive to Superdrug but there are some bargains to be had on the internet, e.g. makeupmadness have a few w7 products available from under £1 just watch out for P&P charges. ~ The Deluxe Gel Pencil ~ This is a double ended eye liner. The pencil is on one end and there is...

Bejeweled 2 Deluxe - Gems Everywhere

Advantages: Can be very addictive
Disadvantages: Can consume a large chunk of your life

...The game that you will stop at nothing to beat, Bejeweled is one of the world?s greatest classic arcade games. It is an addictive puzzle game loved by million?s worldwide. Game: Bejeweled 2 Deluxe; Publisher: PopCap Games; Price Paid: 800 Microsoft Points; A bit of history first? When the game was originally created by PopCap games it was a web-based flash game called ?Diamond Mine?. The game was increasingly successful and PopCap began to establish partnerships with bigger Internet gaming sites, such as Microsoft zone. Microsoft suggested that the name of the game be changed to ?Bejeweled? because ?Diamond Mine? was too similar to that of an existing game. Two sequels to this game have also been released, ?Bejeweled 2? in 2004, and ?Bejeweled Twist? in 2008. In 2005 ?Bejeweled 2 Deluxe? was released for the Xbox 360 as...

Mothercare deluxe baby carrier

Advantages: lightweight, quick and easy to get on and off
Disadvantages: none really

...get out of it, so decided to buy one that looked comfortable for both our son and us. After much deliberation, we opted for the Mothercare Deluxe Back Carrier. It seemed a bargain at under £45 and seems to promise to deliver all we wanted from a baby carrier. We were not disappointed either. We are so happy with this carrier. It is light and quick to put on. You just pop your baby into the carrier while the frame supports it on the floor. Strap your baby in and then get down to the carrier's level and slip you arms (one at a time) through the carriers straps, stand up and secure the clips - simple as that. The weight sits on your hips rather that your back, so it's very comfortable and my son who is now over 25lbs seems as light as a feather. The carrier also comes with a little detachable bag, that clips to the carrier...

HBK on Deluxe Figures

Advantages: Quality of product
Disadvantages: Price as all WWE Deluxe Figures

...The Heartbreak Kid Shawn Michaels is one of the most popular wrestlers the WWE has ever since who will ever forget the Infamous Montreal Screwjob,Shawn has battled through a career ending back injury to return to the WWE and entertain us fans. HBK Deluxe Figure Look Well HBK comes with long hair not tied up not much of a problem is it really,Wearing his red attire and even has his tatoos with him impressive one thing though Michaels does not have 6 Pac which to make it more realistic should have not been put in. HBK does not come with a clean look on his chest in real life.From the face does that look like HBK? Shawn Michaels is a guy who normally has a smily face on always!, so the makers have got a adjustment to do in their next deluxe figure of HBK. The Product Quality As always WWE Deluxe Product its comes at a good...
