Advantages: fits into small space
Disadvantages: just too small

...and near to the side of the washer the tray will not slide in. if it is near the centre of the washer and too upright the 'propeller' arm will not rotate. There is a flip compartment to put dishwasher tablets in. the idea being that at some point during the wash it will flip open and propel the tablet into the washer...well sometimes (a lot) the flip does not work and instead of the table being ejected with some force, the tablet either stays in the compartment or sort of slithers down the side and does not disperse in the water. this of course results in half clean dishes. Being fair though when it is loaded and and does a wash cycle it gives good hygenicly sparkling dishes, glasses and clutlery..no problem there. What bothers me most is the fact of not being able to put plates in with ease. If I had known the frustration this would cause I... Read review

Advantages: LOOKS VERY STYLISH, VERY SIMPLE TO USE, COMPETITIVE PRICING
Disadvantages: QUITE LARGE FOR STORAGE

...I purchased this because of my current obsession for buying a panini with my coffee when shopping. These are often overpriced and underfilled prompting me to try make my own. Nip to the supermarket buy you panini rolls and your fillings of choice and the rest is too simple. To Use; When switched on wait for the red light to change to green, approx 3-5 mins, to say that it is ready to use. The top plate of the press, which has an easy clean glass top, lifts up and is hinged so that the plate angles to suit the size of roll you place inside. Once lifted the plates should be lightly sprayed with oil and the filled roll or rolls placed on the bottom plate. The lid is closed and the sandwich cooks in about 5 mins. Because the lid is hinged the food cooks very evenly. The element inside the unit which heats up to book the food is also flat... Read review

Advantages: As good as the top named brands
Disadvantages: None

...Good wash at a good price, as the appliance was to be hidden behind a door we sacrificed the name for the price, but to our surprise it out performs our previous dishwasher by miles even when using the eco short wash. The control panel is user friendly it consists of an on/off button a Programme button and a play/pause button for start/stop. Importantly for me the top rack height is adjustable allowing our large plates to fit in, the bottom rack's plate holder collapses allowing large pots and pans to lay flat. The heating element is hidden so lime scale is not a threat to that. We use a Powerball type detergent and the dishwasher performs perfectly leaving glasses and cutlery stunningly clean. I am very happy to recommend this dishwasher to any prospective purchaser.... Read review

Advantages: Value for money
Disadvantages: Very soapy if you do put too nuch in the bowl.

...I recently bought the new Fairy Extra Hygiene Liquid as it was on special offer, being new and all that. I am very impressed with it , you don't need much liquid with the water as it does get very very soapy and the dishes got very slippy (hence breaking a glass with a slippy plate). It advertises itself as an antibacterial liquid and I can well believe it. Its smell is pleasant and the orange colour to me is a lot better that the normal green fairy liquid. I would recommend that you try this new product as it has excellent value for money and lasts for a very long time.... Read review

Advantages: Washes dishes - saves me doing them
Disadvantages: Racks aren't adjustable

...when we moved we had at last, a space in the kitchen for a dishwasher. No matter how hard I try I can't get that gleam on glasses and cutlery. It also means that I can press the button when I leave home in the morning and the pots are done when I get home. The thing to look for is how easy they are to pack. The downside is that the racks are sometimes set out wrong to take all the plates, glasses, cutlery and saucepans. it is important that I can put the saucepans in as these are the hardest to wash up and the good news is that this machine does them all well, provided that any leftover food has been scraped off before washing. There are 4 different wash programs but the only two I use are the soak and the main wash. If there are gungy plates and it is not ready for a full wash the soak ensures that it won't get smelly. it takes... Read review

Advantages: Brilliant results while being kinder to hair
Disadvantages: None

...hair so there still hot when you get to the ends of your hair. These are the ones I bought and they get the job done in half the time it used to take me with my slim ceramic straightners! As you would expect for the money they come with lots of features! Aside from the choice of plate sizes, you get- -Total temperature control ( 4 settings 140C-200C ) -Ultra fast heat up -Cool tips ( so you don't burn your fingers when clamping plates ) -Rubber grip ( great for extra control-they never slip ) -Angled comb ( controls hair to get faster, straighter results ) -On/Off light -Heat up light ( tells you when there ready ) As if all of this is not enough, you can also use them on WET hair, genius! Once you've gone glass, you won't look back!... Read review

Advantages: Easy to use
Disadvantages: needs a bigger 'sizzle plate'

...I was bought this for Christmas, along with the Quesidilla maker ( but that's another review...lol) It is a burgandy colour with black trim and sizzle area. There is a hot plate that has a glass lid. The measurements are as follows; Handle to handle ( length) 23" / 585mm Hot plate in diameter 10" / 255mm sizzle plate in diameter 10" / 255mm Total width 12" / 305mm Total hight 4.5" / 115mm Depth of sizzle plate 1" / 24mm Depth hot plate 1.5" / 37mm Flex cord 43" / 1000mm This is a great idea if you enjoy cooking Mexican food ( which I do ). It can be moved even when hot as the handles are away from any area that gets hot. It has to be placed relatively close to a plug socket as you can see from the measurements,the flex cord is 43" long, but what we do is put an extension out and use it like this, that way you can position...

Disadvantages: None

..., Foldable Plate Racks, Foldable Cup/ Safety Knife Rack When I first tried it I needed help from my other half as hes used one before and I had not. After putting salt and rinse aid in , and put all my things in there and set the setting onto intense wash, let it do its thing and it makes a little beep to say its finished. Well I inspected every bit of crockery and plates and I couldnt believe it, I was impressed, all crockery, plates and glasses were so clean i couldnt believe it. Obviously heavy soiled pans need to soak and then bunged in the dishwasher, which I did not know about at the time,lol. Fast forward 8 months and the results are amazing, obviously I have been experimenting with different dishwasher tablets and I think I have sussed out the best one for me and my pots lol. The only problem I have is trying to figure out how... Read review

Advantages: Cleans to perfection
Disadvantages: Not that cheap

...I bought the AEG 54750 VI and I have to admit I am very impressed especially after a bad experience with Bosch! The AEG passed its first challenge with flying colours - I loaded it up with really messy plates, trust me they weren't pleasant, and it got them clean to handwash standards! I was delighted but this feeling was soon topped as my wine glasses came out glistening, they actually looked brand new! I know from bitter experience that it is sometimes necessary to do a 'pre-wash' before putting the items into certain machines but I can happily report that this isn't the case with this dishwasher! This item has all the options that come as standard and doesn't make too much noise either! An excellent purchase overall and I would recommend it to anybody.... Read review

Advantages:
Disadvantages:

...El Macho is situated in Hope Street a few hundred yards from the Everyman. The restaurant has a couple of different levels and a slightly confusing layout but it all adds to the character and it has plenty. Probably the best feature is the deliberate patches of missing plaster exposing the brickwork. The selection of food on offer isn't huge but there is enough to leave you wondering what to have. A starter worthy of particular mention is Paulos Nachos - a large plate of nachos, chillies, tomatoes, melted cheese and sour cream. There's a pretty good selection of drinks including South American red wines and Mexican beer. Also included in Sangria which can be bought by the glass or by the jug. If you like Mexican, you'll love this place. Definitely the best Mexican in Liverpool.... Read review
