Review of Goodmans GPS185DAB

Goodmans gracious me!! (UPDATE -PANTS!!)

Advantages: Good price, attractive system, good sound
Disadvantages: Doesn't last 12 months!

...We treated our youngest to a new CD/radio for her birthday. Her old Sanyo one had broken ? the CD just died after 13 months! So we had a good look around and not wanting to spend a fortune we went for the Goodmans 1002 micro system from Argos. It cost us £64.99, not a bad price I feel. Now available for £59.99!! The unit its-self is very attractive, being primarily silver in colour. The main unit is 16cm x 17cm and 26cm deep with the speakers 22cm x 14cm x 19cm. The speakers are a pale wood colour with silver covers for the front, which can be removed if you wish and are both 12.5w. It now sits quite unobtrusively at the back of her little desk and seems to take up very little space. This micro system, however, is only a CD/radio, IT DOES NOT HAVE A TAPE DECK. We took the decision that really cassettes are a bit old hat now...

Review of Goodmans 1002

Wow Good...man!

Advantages: Compact, light, plays home-made disks
Disadvantages: If using battery-power, not long-lasting.

...In my home I have my main stereo downstairs. The trouble is, I often like listening to music at night before I go to bed. I did have a (really old) personal cd player, but I was sick of replacing the batteries. I went into Argos and spotted the Goodmans GPS222 on display, so I bought one. ~Design~ The Goodmans GPS222 is 13 inches long, 9 inches deep (at it's widest) and 6 inches tall. It weighs around 4lbs - not very heavy - but it might feel quite weighty if you were carrying it around for a while. As you can see from the picture the Goodmans GPS222 is quite modern looking and I was pleased with the design of it. The buttons are laid out symetrically on the top of the player, which makes everything easy to find, and makes it look nice too. What you can't see very well from the picture is that the panel on the front, over...

Goodmans 28" Widescreen Real Flat CRT TV K28W15FT

Advantages: Excellent picture and sound quality. Easy to use
Disadvantages: Doesn't remeber preferred screen size

...OK... so I needed a new TV. I had very little money to spend! Icouldn't afford a fancy LCD or plasma screen. I needed something cheap that would do the job well! I found the Goodmans TV in Currys for £150 and it was a lot cheaper than other brands and it had many of the same features as the budget TVs of the higher end brand names. The picture quality is excellent, as is the sound quality. It was so easy to install and set up. Overall an excellent Tv and I can't actually think of any negatives that it has apart fromevery time you switch it on you have to change the screen size. When you turn it off it goes back to the screen ratio of 4:3 and doesn't remember your preferred size....

Review of Goodmans K 28 W 15 FT

Good quality, good value, Goodmans

Advantages: Cheap and complete. Everything in one box
Disadvantages: Not as good as sytems twice as much

...them, and being the bunch of hoarders that my family is I soon had a bedroom full of bits, old record players and a rather super (super?) gramophone the size of a sideboard. I stripped out the guts, built some new speaker cabs (using the doors off my wardrobe, I under estimated how angry my mum could get) and a ?receiver? (using an old valve amp and tuner, rewired into a new case) which sounded great. I rigged up a multi input interface (switch) to play other things through the system, like the tape deck I wanted for Christmas. I was however stuck with a crappy record deck until my cousin turned up with his old Goodman?s. This was brilliant, it had a moving magnet cartridge made by ?Audio Technica? ( I had to build a pre-amp, remember those), a light alloy arm, no auto changer, too high quality for that, I was chuffed (my god! I do sound...

Review of Goodmans DVD-3600PKT

Fairly Goodman

Advantages: More tracks than a 64mb mp3 player and cheaper!
Disadvantages: Small buttons, plastic feel, not much more than functional.

...support functions like vcd playback and are generally of a higher quality. The CDMP was the best player that i could find for the price, although its differences from the Hewlett Packard were minimal, with the HP possibly winning the looks battle, but the guy in the shop recommended this one so that's what i got. Features: 10 second anti-shock Up to 6 hours playback time Programmable play (20 tracks) AC/DC adaptor included Headphones with in-line volume control Bass boost Built in charger Shuffle Repeat Skip & Search modes LCD display (only 1 line) Performance It runs fairly smoothly without any severe problems, it does stop every now and then in between tracks to have a long think - sometimes for 10-20 seconds. A couple of the tracks didn't play also, but i suspect this problem was caused by the mp3 files themselves being...

Review of Goodman CDMP 352

Goodmans, Good Luck!!!!

Advantages: Good memory
Disadvantages: scrolling display makes a clicking noise during music

...I was reluctant to buy the I-Pod because it keeps changing so much so I decided to go for the cheaper option which is the Goodman GMP38G6. It's got really good quality sound and the headphones are very comfortable. The menus are very difficult to navigate and Goodman's should work on this. One glitch I noticed is that when you're listening to music you can hear the screen display scrolling the artist and song name. It makes a very faint clicking noise as it scrolls. I phoned the helpline which is detailed on the back of the device but they weren't any help at all. It's definitely no-where near the quality of the I-Pod but is better than most mp3 and mp4 players. You can record voice but you can't easily use it to store other types of files like photos or MS office files but with some effort it is possible. You get a mini CD with it that...

Review of Flat Mates - Chris Manby

Goodmans DPL805 Surround Sound

Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: needed a sub-woofer to really bring it to life as an all rounder

...Bought the Goodmans DPL805 Surround Sound as part of a Comet deal, you got TV, Video & Surround sound. Did quite a good sound for only a 4 channel Dolby Pro Logic. You got 2 Front speakers, 1 Centre speaker and 2 Rear speakers. The rear speakers are both on 1 channel. Has an output for a mono powered sub-woofer, but we did not get one as part of the deal, you had to buy it separately Did not need the sub-woofer for watching films and the sound quality was decent and loud enough for us, but if you wanted it for listening to music then it would make it a better system and it would then be a 5 channel system. All in all, not a bad little system and you had enough connections to add a video, TV, sattelite and a stereo, all on phono jack connections. Still working and son is currently using it. Speakers are all quite small...

Review of Goodmans DPL 905

Flat Coat Retrievers - a tribute.

Advantages: The most lovable large dog you could have.
Disadvantages: Messy and not to be left alone regularly.

...This review is dedicated firstly as a tribute to the best friends my wife and I had, our two "Flatties" Pepper and Gemma who passed away two years ago, and secondly as guide to prospective owners I hope that I can give an insight into the kind of animal you will be getting if you decide to own one - don't make the decision lightly as much for their sake as for yours. Animals after all should be for life, and definitely not just a fashion statement FLAT COAT RETRIEVER HISTORY: Flat coat retrievers started to appear in the early 19th century and were first known to have been developed by a Mr Hull in 1864, to whom the breed is officially tributed. They were used for retrieving shot game in all kinds of uplands and particularly in water. They rapidly became a common sight on some of Britain's larger estates. They had been partly...
