Super efficient Hotpoint FDW60

Advantages: Very quiet, easy to load and easy to use
Disadvantages: Lots of buttons!

...I do have a few experiences with dishwashers being part of a large family of which most of us own one, so I have loaded and unloaded a few in my time. I am very impressed with this dishwasher; I've just had a new one because we have just moved house and the old one went with the deal on the old property. So wonderful mother-in-law (have to say that!) offered to buy me a new one for our house warming present - see said I had to say something nice. So I ended up buying this Hotpoint FDW60 and I am very glad I did. Advantages:- Very quiet in operation - much much quieter than my last one. It has A cleaning rating and yes it washes very well. Very easy to load, the drawers do come out easily and are very spacious for you to load all your stuff on. I have so far washed pans, plates, frying pans and very mucky kids...

Review of Hotpoint FDW60G

Hotpoint Aquarius Dishwasher FDW60

Advantages: Quiet
Disadvantages: only top drawer half load wash

...This is the first dishwasher that I have owned and so as a novice to the functionality of a dishwasher I find this one easy to use and does the job. It has a half load option that just washes the top drawer (usually cups and glasses), although after using it for a few weeks now I would rather a half load just washed the bottom drawer as I tend to run out of plates and pans before cups, but that's something to remember for the next machine I buy (i originally wanted the FDW80 that has the option of top or bottom drawer wash but everwhere had sold out and i was constantly being mucked about by sainsburys appliances, eventually leading me to go to currys to get the FDW60). As i'm still learning on how best to place items there have been a few items (large serving/mixing spoons and baking dishes that are ceramic not pyrex) that have...

Hotpoint FDW60 Aquarius Dishwasher

Advantages: Nice design, easy to use, economy feature AAA rating
Disadvantages: None

...As I have never had a dishwasher before, my boyfriend suggested I get one, as he felt bad that I was washing and drying everything by hand.

All I can say is WOW...for a start I will never wash pots again, I cant believe I never had a dishwasher before, the results are better than me standing at the sink, I have NEVER seen glasses and stainless steel gleam like that in my life.

Review of Hotpoint FDW60G

Apple Iphone 3G 8GB

Advantages: A great piece of hardware with unlimited possiblilities.
Disadvantages: Can't delete pre installed apps

...I have been a customer of O2 for many years now and so after resisting as long as I could I finally gave in and got the Apple Iphone 3G on contract. I have to say I have no regrets! The Iphone 3G is a completley touchscreen phone with internet capabilities. Not only can the phone connect to wifi signals it is also permanently connected via your network provider, all the while you have signal anyway! I find that the speed of the internet on this phone is sufficient for what I use it for (train times, facebook, emails etc), it get's a bit faster when connected to wifi rather then your network providers internet but to be honest I find the normal 3G speed is fine for me. The great thing about the phone is the applications you can add; the phone can be completly tailored to you and becomes unique for everyone! There are plenty of free apps...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

Apple iPhone 3G

Advantages: A great phone
Disadvantages: None, in my opinion!

...So, as I?m sure everyone on here who has an iPhone has done, here?s my review on this little beauty?just by that you can already guess, I?m a fan of this! After my last contract with o2 expired three months back, I had the choice to renew everything and seeing as there was a distinct lack of phones available with o2 (in hindsight, I would have perhaps opted to look at the phones available with contracts provided by the Carphone Warehouse) I bit the bullet and went for the iPhone 3G 8GB version?the 3GS was available, but I?m not made of money and lets be honest, to pay that much extra for a bit more storage space, voice control and a video camera is not worth it in my honest opinion. I?m sure you?re all aware of what it looks like, but if not it?s a touch screen operated phone which is a glossy black little number. A smooth back cover...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

iPhone 3G

Advantages: Looks, interface, quality, fun
Disadvantages: Camera could be better

...The iPhone 3G is (almost) all the phone you'll ever need. Don't listen to the iPhone knockers, it's a fantastic piece of kit, it's so slick and easy to use that it even makes me use it to call people more than I ever normally would (I am a man after all so phone calls are short and not always sweet!). The build quality is excellent, I've had mine for a few months now and there isn't a scratch on any surface, it (almost) never crashes (occasionally Safari crashes after a heavy browsing session, and some 3rd party apps crash from time to time). The interface is REALLY slick. All of the built -in applications and most of the 3rd party ones you can download from the App Store (more later) integrate with each other very well. For example, if you have a friend's postal address in their Contact, start typing their name in the GPS...

Review of Apple iPhone 3G

3G vs 3G(S)

Advantages: Aesthetics, Range of Applications, Portability and Touch function
Disadvantages: Limited to only O2 Customers, and Short Battery Life

...iPhone 3G is still the best and no-one can say that this isn't true. Even with iPhone 3GS release, I still believe iPhone 3G is better and much cheaper, no doubt. Now, I will tell you why it is THE best. Before I start off comparing the two iPhones, I have to give the packaging 12 out of 10. It has a very unique shape and it gives that slick and crispiness within the packaging as well. The size is perfect to fit the iPhone and has no excessive waste. The packaging itself sells the whole concept of the iPhone. When you open the packaging, you will get to see the beautiful iPhone as if it's in a showcase. For a moment, you will see the glow around it. All the manuals and the cables are tucked away behind the iphone. The manuals are pretty much same as all other manuals . It has different languages from European language to East...

  Samsung G600

Advantages: Stylish, Radio
Disadvantages: Camera

...The G600 is one of the new phones from the Samsung line. With the company being known to have great phones and be famously free with contracts nationwide I couldn't help but get this as my most recent upgrade. Contents When purchasing the G600 you get several different items within the box. Starting with a 1GB memory card which normally retails at £10 this is the first bargain. Next you have a Bluetooth headset with the Samsung logo. Most of these will start at £15 if they are branded. You get earphones with a power part in the middle to pick up local radio signals, a charger for your phone and your Bluetooth headset, software CD which serves as an instruction manual and links your phone to your computer so you can download music, photos etc. This leads to the final item - a USB cable so you can connect the two. Look...

...I bought one of these for my husband as a Christmas present as it was `the in thing'.

Review of Apple iPod 60 GB

iPhone 3G review.

Advantages: As stated.
Disadvantages: As stated.

...to type something is surprisingly easy to use & within a few weeks, I began using my thumbs to type. The keyboard can also be changed to suit other languages. I have stuck on an InvisibleShield to prevent it from getting scratched, without having to keep it in a case, as it is quite delicate. I have been very careful with it & it has worked very well for me. Now for the the flaws.... With the Youtube feature, sometimes it does not connect to the internet even when Safari browser is in working order. The 3G symbol must be apparant for it to connect whereas with Safari, only the signal must be sufficient. This is quite annoying, as the 3G symbol is unapparant quite often. Can't really fault the AppStore, only that some of the applications that look really good are quite pricey :( Maps can't always connect to the internet, but...
