Denon DM31's quality shines

Advantages: Fantastic audio performance, small, stylish, durability
Disadvantages: Lacks DAB tuner

...Denon have an excellant reputation of producing home entertainment components of an awesome standard. They have produced over the years some fantastic benchmark products, and the Denon DM30 is no exception. Voted as the best micro hifi for atleast three years, Denon DM30 is an excellant product. With micro systems available from just £50, some people may find it hard to justify spending about £220, but for those who desire good audio perfomance this is an essential product. I can provide three good fundamental reasons to spend more money when purchising a micro hifi, they are 1) Sound. A more expensive micro system, such as the Denon DM31 will provide MUCH better audio performance. You will be more enganged in the music and will want to listen to more music. 2) Durability. The lifetime of cheaper micro hifis under £150 is litte...

Review of Denon DM31

Denon DM30

Advantages: Great sound quality, Very stylish, Good build quality
Disadvantages: User interface not user-friendly enough

...I bought this product about a year ago along with the tape player which you can also get and have been very happy with it. Having purchased Denon products before I had no problems in paying a bit extra for what I knew would be a top quality product. The DM30 offers exceptional sound quality both from cd and from the radio, it has a very stylish design with a metal fascia rather than a tacky plastic one which you get on cheaper Hi-Fis. You get a couple of very nice wood-effect speakers which look superb and are designed and produced for Denon by "Mission". The DM30 has RDS, RadioText (scrolls information broadcast from radio stations such as who the DJ is, news, etc.), EON, PTY and other features for the radio. It has input and output sockets in the back so you can connect other AV devices to it. I currently have a tape player...

Rowenta DM825 - Ironing made easy

Advantages: Good glide, large water tank
Disadvantages: None

...Having killed my last iron (I managed to melt a fleece onto the soleplate!), it was time for an upgrade. My previous iron was also a Rowenta, a model down from this one. I had always been happy with the brand, so I decided to go for the DM825. My decision was helped by a recommendation by Which Extra in their best buy guide. The DM825 Professional Luxe Steam Iron (to use its full name), is a very good all round iron. It looks modern and attractive (I've had it about 5 months now and it still looks brand new). It's not too heavy and glides really well, which is a definite advantage as I now get the ironing finished much quicker than before, and I can honestly say the results are very good. All the buttons are easy to use and it does seem to warm up to just the right temperature on each setting. The temperature 'wheel' is just...

Beautiful DM 12

Advantages: Quality and fabulous sound
Disadvantages: Not cheap, but such quality never is

...I have very large hands, and find many guitar necks too narrow. I already had a Martin D 16 GT and I was well impressed. The DM 12 looks good. The finish is 'satin' and unfussy, without unnecessary adornment. That's not to say it looks basic, it actually looks just right. The instrument is extremely well made, and lighter than you'd imagine. Mine has a rosewood fingerboard and Schaller machine heads with the Martin logo. The action is light and low, with no fret buzz regardless of how I play. The DM 12 that I bought is 3 years old, though in absolute mint condition and doesn't even look as though it's ever been played - strange, but true. The most impressive thing about any Martin that I've ever played is the sound and the DM 12 is highly impressive. The sound is beautifully rich and mature and not thin and jangly like some...

Denon Do

Advantages: Sound quality
Disadvantages: Price compared to lesser rivals

...**Introduction** I am very comfortable with my Hifi Setup at the moment and will not be upgrading for a while yet. I had been in the market for a second setup and Having looked for a small second system for my bedroom I knew Denon were one of the best brands in the mini hifi system field so I felt very comfortable about choosing this one of a couple of similar Sony DAB Systems. I eventually chose this D-M37 from Denon after hearing a demo of it in my local hifi store. Here is my verdict on the system. **The Unit** If you know much about Hifi Equipment then you will instantly recognise the Denon style with this Unit as it is pretty much standard Denon for a product of the type, The unit is available in either Black or as Silver (as shown in the picture). So what comes in the unit? well as standard you get the DAB Tuner which also...

Review of Denon D-M37 (RCD-M37/SC-M37)

Does the Hoover DM4523 suck?

Advantages: inexpensive and has great suction
Disadvantages: fiddly to use, clogs up easily

...Firstly, why did I buy this cleaner? We've had three Dysons over the past six years or so - they keep breaking down. Now, I really must explain that this is nothing to do with an overly dirty house! Given repair costs etc we have rarely had them fixed. When the last Dyson we had broke down we decided that forking out £250+ every other year or so was daft, and so we decided to try another brand. We wanted: Good suction Good design with edge tool, etc Bagless Reasonably lightweight My wife prefers uprights Stair cleaning facility Low cost - initially and ongoing, in terms of lifelong washable filters Not much then? We looked all over the place and ended up in Curry's! While there, a chap saw us looking at the DM4523 and took the time to tell us that he had one, and that it was the best vacuum he had ever owned. Well...

Olympus DM 20 MP3 player / Voice recorder

Advantages: Very small and light
Disadvantages: None!

...I was recently assessed for Disabled Students Allowance at my university. One of the things that we decided would help me was a dictaphone and so 6 weeks later the Olympus DM-20 turned up on my doorstep! ~*~ First Impressions ~*~ I had expected a cheap dictaphone as the university was providing it for me, and therefore that is what I expected it to look like. How wrong could I be? I have never had a dictaphone before and therefore wasnt quite sure what to expect but the first thing I noticed about this is that it didn't have a tape. Instead you had to download the files onto the computer and use the software provided with the player to work with whatever you have saved. I originally found this a little complicated but that probably wasnt helped by the fact that I went straight in without even looking at the instructions...
