Lec at This Fridge!

Advantages: Modern, Automatic Deforest, Good Value.
Disadvantages: Not Frost Free, No Dual Control Thermostat.

...When we were looking for a solution to a slight problem - our old fridge/freezer halting its work, we decided to look for another of the same make. Because of some space contraints, we untimately decided upon a seperate fridge and freezer, which works out slightly more expensive, but involves more space for my precious precious food. Firstly, a look at the company catalogue. The Lec brochure is chic and stylish, effectively advertising its products. This was very nearly wasted on us, however, beceause our old Lec fridge/freezer had been going strong for over 15 years before it finally gave out, and we trusted the company already. We decided on the L1205 fridge, on page 6, and ordered it from Apollo 2000, paying just under £140. The fridge arrived dead on time, and covered on all but the bottom side by a cardboard box, and some...

Life In The Freezer - David Attenborough

Advantages: So interesting, fun to watch, educational
Disadvantages: I want more episodes!!

...I really love 'The Life Collection' from David Attenborough. The complete series of 'Life in the Freezer' was the third dvd of the collection that I bought. The series itself has six episodes which are all on one disc. They were originally transmitted in 1993. The six episodes are: Episode 1: The Bountiful Sea - All about the Southern Antarctic Ocean and the species in it Episode 2: The Ice Retreats - About when Spring comes and the wildlife coming back to land to breed. Episode 3: The Race To Breed - How seals and penguins have to breed quickly before winter comes round again. Episode 4: The Door Closes - The disappearance of food as winter returns and how the wildlife have to migrate before this happens. Episode 5: The Big Freeze - How some animals stay and live in the extreme conditions and how life continues, against all...

I said freeze not defrost

Advantages: Plenty of storage space
Disadvantages: Mine was a little tempremental

...I hate the electric equipment in our house. All of them from the little hand held vaccum to the great big fridge-freezer. I was fuming from my washing machine that broke down two days after the guarentee ran out to the television that gave up on Christmas Day (Thank God for Monopoly) The last thing I expected to give up was my 6 month old fridge-freezer. I have a lot of say in the equipment we buy for the house especially things like hoovers and washing machines but when the time came to buy a fridge freezer I left it to 'him indoors'. Which is a good thing because I can blame him for the disaster he brought into my home (I also got a few restaurant meals from it too!) 'Him indoors' bought the Lec T663AW Fridge Freezer from one of his many online haunts for (I think) about £250.00. When it was delivered mid-summer of 2002, I was...

Yamaha Upright Pianos

Advantages: Quality and cost.
Disadvantages: Doesn't quite have the status of the similar size Steinway piano.

...I have been able to compare the largest Yamaha Upright with the equivalent pianos from Steinway and the mass produced Boston (marketed by Steinway) These pianos look identical in size and shape. If you are a serious musician, and you keep in practice, you will probably prefer the Steinway. This has a firm touch, giving an experienced player a wider dynamic range and range of expression. The Boston is identical, but about half the price of the Steinway, and has a lighter touch. The largest Yamaha upright is also identical, and has a lighter touch than the Boston. It is between a quarter and a third of the price of the Steinway. Used Steinways and Bostons are rather difficult to locate, and if they have been reconditioned it is important to establish who has done the work, as a used piano is only as good as the technician...

Advantages: Excellent Heat Dispersal, Very Quiet, Ability to attach northbridge heatsink for better cooling
Disadvantages: Very Big, Awkward to Fit

...In my Custom built PC i use a AMD 6400+ with Windows Vista ultimate X64, I tend to run Video Convertions on my computer for home videos but noticed with the stock cooler that my processor was hitting 77 Degrees C and Idling at 48 C.

Ultimate uprights - but overpriced

Advantages: About as good as uprights come
Disadvantages: Ridiculous pricing - more than most grands

...As mentioned in other review on Steinways, these pianos are by far the best money can buy. No other brand can come close to the level of quality these pianos?s offer. The upright series is essentially a very good piano. It is basically the same as the Steinway grand?s in many ways, with an excellent touch and feel. The advantage of having an upright is simply the space saved. If space is a problem, this has to be the ultimate upright piano series from which to choose. The sacrifice of moving from grand to upright is the sound. Though this is in my opinion one of the best upright pianos, it still can?t come anywhere near to a grand. The range of sounds and the tone is not quite there. I also feel that these pianos are grossly overpriced. My advise is to clear out that old table, spend an extra couple of thousand and go...

I am a Firdge Freezer

Advantages: It is a Fridge and a Freezer
Disadvantages: I could do with a bigger freezer

...My oh so wonderfull landlord has just bought me one of these things cause the old fridge had blown up and it has a freezer too, thank you Mr Landlord. I have only had this baby for a week and I am in love, I was that excited about having my own freezer that I ran out a bought a ice cube tray thingy only to find out that it had one in the top drawer of the freezer compartment, which seems to be the only usefull thing you can put in the top drawer. There are three compartments in the freezer of the same size and most frozen products will fit niceley in them apart from frozen pizzas which have to be stuck in at a jaunty angle. You can also fit packets of square sausage in them as well, quite nicely. There is quite a lot of storage spage enough to last me for over amonth in the freezer alone. Those of you with families may need...

Arctic cooling Freezer 7 Pro

Advantages: Cheap, Powerfull and efficient
Disadvantages: A bit fiddly to install

...I upgraded to this Heat sink Fan unit from an Akasa one and the difference in temperatures was great! With the Akasa model i was peaking on full load at 62 degrees Celsius and with the new Arctic Freezer 7 Pro i am now peaking on full load at 46 degrees Celsius. (My tower also has 3 additional cooling fans as well so i had to point it out.) The Fan being mounted on the side of the Heat sink is a great idea as heat naturally rises. Also the fins at the bottom of the heat sink direct airflow towards the motherboard components which helps keep them cool. When this initially arrived in the post i was surprised at the size and weight of it. Its huge! It was a bit fiddly to install but the fan is detachable to help. For the price it is brilliant value for money....
