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...

Review of VAX V 026 Rapide 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...

Saxo 1.1 Forte

Advantages: nimble with good performance for its engine size, fun handling
Disadvantages: Steering takes getting used to, basic interior, basic equipment

...of performance, the 1.1 is a little slow. If you know how to get the best out of an engine this isnt a problem and you will soon find yourself moving briskly, keeping things on the boil with a few more frequent gear changes than usual. My advice here, get one with a rev counter or if you are impatent dont be tight and get one with a bigger engine! I would reccommend the 1.4 Furio or 1.6 VTR (8v) if you want anything that has all-round performance. Fuel Even driven hard on motorways or back lanes it will always give around 45mpg. On a long careful drives we achieve 50mpg easilly. handling is its best quality - lots of FUN. Dont forget the VTR/VTS performance models are considered amongst the best handling cars around. It is beautifully balanced. My only critisism of the car here is that the ride can get 'bouncy' at times on rough roads...

Suk 11

Advantages: Cheap, clean and more interesting than most.
Disadvantages: None

...This summer we stayed in the Suk 11 Hostel off Soy 11 Sukhumvit Road, Bangkok. Don’t be put off by the fact that it’s not in the centre of town, it’s just a 3 minute walk away from the new sky train which can jet you to wherever you want to go in under half an hour for less than a tuk-tuk or taxi. You can download maps of the area from their website - http://www.suk11.com/. We paid about £8 between us per night for a double room with air-conditioning, en-suite bathroom and breakfast. This isn’t the cheapest you can get in Bangkok, but it’s not far off. And it’s worth it. For a start the rooms are spotless. You could eat your dinner off the tiles in the bathroom and the linen is white and smells fresh. As well as this the owners have really put some effort into the décor. The floors are...

Citroen Saxo First 1.1i

Advantages: stylish, economical, reliable, good value
Disadvantages: none

...Myself and my son recently visited our local Citroen dealer because we organised a test drive on a 1.1i Saxo First. This was because my son is currently looking for a new car to replace his very reliable but ageing current motor, a Citroen AX. The Saxo has always attracted my son with its good looks and decent performance, but interestingly enough he was interested in the smallest engine option of the First. There are several reasons for this, all unbelievably and unusually sensible coming form my son!! Firstly the 1124cc engine keeps insurance costs down and also it is very light on the drink when it comes to the petrol pump. Despite this you musn't get me wrong because it is certainly no slouch, the lightweight of the body ensures that. It can accelerate very nippy around town and from traffic lights, a suprise for such a small...

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...

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...

Pineta Park Deluxe

Advantages: Good staff, nice pool area reasonable rooms
Disadvantages: They overbook frequently and may send you to Pineta Park Club, don't go!!

...I am just back from a week at the Pineta Park Deluxe(30/9/07). On arrival at 11pm, after a long flight and bus journey, we signed in to the hotel only to be told we were being change to another "across the road" for one night as there was a technical problem with the room. Bell hop took our cases to Pineta Park Club. This is a dirty hole of a place where the staff are extremely rude. Only reason we managed to sleep was getting as much of the A.I. alcohol down our throats before we went back to the room. I kicked up the following morning and by 11.00 was in the Pineta Park Deluxe. This was much better, the staff are all very friendly and the entertainment team good fun. From what we heard during our stay, it seems it is common practice for the hotel to be overbooked and they dump you to the Pineta Park Club. Only by complaining...
