Suck your air out and triple the storage

Advantages: Storage problems solved easily
Disadvantages: None!

...JML VacPac Vacuum Seal Storage Bags Why I bought them... A large quantity of bedding, clothes and other odds and ends that needed to be transported over two hundred miles from home to my narrowboat in readiness for my next cruise was causing me a real problem. Since retiring to enjoy my boat and freedom, my income has dwindled to nil and downsizing is the name of the game. My car has downsized too, now a little Ford KA, great for shopping but pretty useless for anything involving luggage or bulk. I needed a cheap way of cramming as much into the car as humanly possible, hiring a vehicle was out of the question so I came up with the idea of Vacuum Storage Bags as a method of transporting my gear. What they do.... The idea is that you pack your items for storage in the plastic bag and then seal it with the aid of a little...

Vaccum Storage Bags

Advantages: Space Saving Ideas for Home and Abroad
Disadvantages: None I can think of

...I love this idea, whoever thought this up is a genius. A lot of families have storage problems my main pain in the backside is lack of room for excess bedding that i keep spare for guests and what not, So this is magnificent, how the air can be sucked out of the bag with any pipe vacuum cleaner and reduce the size of package to less than a quarter of the size. Brilliant for duvets and pillows i might add and to top it all off it keeps all those bugs away and when you do unpack them they smell as good as the day you washed them and put the items in there. Excellent I would rate these to anybody you can even use them for going abroad and storing your much loved items and reducing space which we all know must happen when traveling on a plane think of the goodies you can bring back !! Although I have never tries them in my suitcase while...

Storage For The Masses

Advantages: A decent capacity, pretty cheap, vertically mounted
Disadvantages: Not really all that portable, can be a bit noisy for a bedroom, it's grey!

...one thing it doesn't support (or at least with me) is a Vista function called ReadyBoost. If you don't know what it is then don't worry about it as you probably don't use it. It's usually used with flash RAM devices anyway. It's spin speed is around 7200RPM so it's not exactly slow and has a seek time of around 9ms so accessing files is pretty quick. On the transfer stakes it does a good job. I can transfer a 1.5gb movie file in around 1 minute 30 seconds, and small files are also just as fast. It's also helped by the fact that it's USB 2.0 so the theory is you can transfer 480Mb per second. So what's the downside of it? Well first up, as I said, it's grey. For anyone who likes all their devices to be colour co-ordinated then this may not be for you. I did ask whether it was available in other colours (or at least with a blue...

Review of Toshiba RD-85 DT

the thing that all girls need (storage)

Advantages: great for storing all the kids junk in
Disadvantages: it has none i can think of

...My seven year old daughters room was always really untidy as she had no where for all her pens and paper so it all ended up scattered all over her bedroom floor. I decided it was time to get her some storage boxes to keep all her junk in and i headed down to argos to see what i could find. As soon as i walked in the shop i noticed a storage unit and straight away decided it was perfect for my daughters room as it matched the colour of her room. When i got home with the storage unit my daughter came running to me and said mummy how did you know that i wanted this.She gave me a big kiss and went off to play while i unpacked it. THE CRAYOLA STORAGE SYSTEM *************************************** This storage system is perfect for those messy little girls as it contains five bright pink plastic drawers that are all made from quite...

Review of Crayola Hi-Five Plastic Storage Unit

What a Sucker!!

Advantages: Gives you loads of extra space, clear so you can see the contents inside
Disadvantages: None at all

...to see the light of day. We also have no space under our beds as we have ?seasonal? quilts, i.e. heavy weight ones for winter and lightweight ones for summer. These were using up an enormous amount of space which could be much better used for other things. For once in his life it was my brother who had the brain wave when he suggested some vacuum storage bags. He said he?d seen them advertised on the shopping channel. We had no time to wait for a delivery though so we decided to go out to the shops to see if we could find some. We have a (very small) branch of Lakeland Plastics near to where we live. So, we drove out to see if they sold any. They did ? but we underestimated the cost. Lakeland were selling them for £14.99 for a measly two bags. We reckoned we?d need about four times this amount and we simply didn?t have enough...

Amazing Micro Devices

Advantages: fast, cheap, not Intel
Disadvantages: none

...So there I was, considering an upgrade to my computer. Before started to purchase anything (as I was going to make it myself) I did a lot a research into what I wanted in my computer. There was one item for which I needed to do no research; this was the processor that I was going to put in this new computer. In my mind the only processor that was going to go into the new computer was a AMD Athlon, the only choice was what speed to I buy? The review will try, I hope, to be as jargonless as possible and if there is any I will try to explain (if I miss any explanations please inform me so I can update this). ** Why AMD ** Well the major difference between AMD and Intel is the pricing of their processors. A quick browse on the internet and you find that AMDs top of the range Athlon processor costs you £175 where as Intels top...

Revoutionary Storage

Advantages: Small, Good Brand, Reliable
Disadvantages: May be too small and easy to loose

...Compact Flash cards are fast becoming one of the most popular removable storage devices in use today. They are possibly one of the great inventions of the digital photographic revolution. There are increasing numbers of manufacturers of cameras and other photo related products who are adopting this format for their products and i suppose you can see why when they are so compact. You'll find for example that better inkjet printers will now have a Sandisk slot somewhere. Therefore, it isn't likely that you will have compatibility problems as you'll find this card is usable with a wide range of items such as cameras, PDAs and other electrical devices that require some sort of memory storage As far as speed is concerned it's unlikely you'll be disappointed with a Sandisk card as they are reckoned to be as fast as any others out...

Review of Sandisk Extreme III Compact Flash CF 4GB 4096 MB

Betterware (£13.99) V Superdrug (£4.99)no contest!

Advantages: take up less room
Disadvantages: depends which make you buy!

...I had decided to buy some of those vacum storage bags from the tv shopping channels. You know the ones i mean out all your spare bedding, clothes, towels soft toys ect in the bags suck all the air out and they store in a lot less room and are safe! The only problem was that they were quite expensive especially when you add the postage costs in to the price, so when my betterware catalogue was delivered a few weeks ago and I noticed they had started make these vacum bags I got very excited and ordered 3 packs. Betterware bags ****************** Each pack has 3 bags in it 1 large (55 x 85 cm) and 2 jumbo (60 x 105cm) Each pack cost £13.99. These are different to the bag on tv and I have to say different isn't better! They are quite a thick plastic which feels very sturdy, the problem though is with the sealing system or not...
