MAXX EFFICIENCY

Advantages: Efficient,well made .reputation for reliability
Disadvantages: not cheap

...Well after 2.5 years and many breakdowns i have finally given up on my hoover washing machine and taken delivery of a bosch maxx 1100 spin washing machine. The machine cost me £420 from a local supplier,it is available for only £343 was the cheapest price i found via www.pricerunner.com.I decided to purchase it from a local shop due to their excellent customer service free delivery and they take away the old machine too. The bosch maxx so called i believe due to the fact that it takes a 6kg load rather than the industry average of 5kg. As you probably know for a while now all electrical appliances are rated for their energy efficiency from A-E A being the most efficient and E being the most wasteful.Well the bosch maxx scores A on both energy efficiency and uses very little water per load. The wash programmes are very simple...

Review of Bosch Maxx

Maxx it up

Advantages: reliability and ease of use
Disadvantages: none - maybe it should iron the clothes too!

...I used to have a Servis washer dryer. Ahh you need to know why I dumped it well.................. - not only did it steam clothes dry leaving them with an aroma of eau de old water, but I was on intimate terms with the service man who came to fix it on a weekly basis (Mr F was getting a bit suspicious!!). The final straw came with the news that my service man would not be able to fix my machine for a week as he was waiting for parts - with two young children (and a ?grown up? one too) I need to be able to use my washing machine 24/7, so it had to go. So after a tearful goodbye from the service man (his not mine) we decided to buy a new machine. Now we had to decide what our priorities were when it came to washing. My biggest priority was reliability - I needed a machine that could be put into service for at least 5 years...

Discounted to the Maxx

Advantages: Great quality brand names at great discounted prices
Disadvantages: Can be a bit like a jumble sale

...So every city must have their own TK Maxx? A leading dealer in discount designer wear, TK Maxx plays out as jumble sale meets department store. There are ladies wear, mens wear, childrens wear, foot wear, bag wear, kids play, and housewares. They offer genuine designer and high street brands at genuine discounted prices. I recently bought a pair of pierre cardin jeans with an rrp of £59.99 for £14. And there was no damage or any other reason for getting them cheaper. They also have a great housewares section if you're looking to buy bits and bobs for the house. You can get pots and pans, paintings, photo frames, lamps and modern ornaments to jot all over your place. Effectively its John Lewis at bargain basements prices (without the dull department store music and irritating shop assistants). And thats another perk. You dont...

Review of TK MAXX (Department Store)

Maxx-imum Value

Advantages: Bargains aplenty, heavily turned-around stock.
Disadvantages: Organised chaos !!

...T.K.Maxx is a subsiduary company of a huge U.S firm called T.J.X, Inc which has 1,300 stores across the whole of North America making it one of the Worlds largest discount retailers. The first T.K.Maxx was introduced to the U.K in 1994 as part of an expansion plan in Europe but the venture was very slow in taking off. However slow as it was, the off-price policy that T.K offers has begun to take off in recent times and there are now 123 stores in the U.K with two more in Holland. T.J.X envisages there being 170 stores in the U.K within three years all making a profit which would mean that nearly every large town and city would have one, so if theres not one near you now, there soon will be ! T.K Maxx's off-price policy basically means that they sell top name brands at discount prices and the reason why they are cornering the niche in...

TK MAXX Cafe Cardiff

Advantages: Vinigrette ok
Disadvantages: Everything else

...This isn?t a review of the shop, and the general clothing bargain?s to be had inside, but instead that of the cafe, which is in the basement of this particular store. First let give you some background information as to why I ended eating in the TK Maxx cafe, especially as I wasn?t even shopping in the store! Today is match day in Cardiff, not a rugby match, which is normally frenetic, but a football match which though it?s not as busy as rugby days, it?s still pretty jammed. My father would?ve been quite happy to simply get a pasty and walk the streets, but my mother hadn?t wanted to wander about and the TK Maxx cafe was the closest thing that provided seats and wasn?t packed, and now I know why. Firstly being in the basement, you feel enclosed and quite claustrophobic, you?re also surrounded by suitcases which makes you feel more...

* TK bot to the maxx *

Advantages: sometimes get a bargin
Disadvantages: loads

...* TK Maxx * This company was originally from the states but under the name of TJMaxx and now there is stores in the UK and Europe. TK promotes 60% less than the designer price but as you search in this store you will soon learn that half the 'brands' you have NEVER EVEN HEARD OF!! Another thing I have to mention is that ALOT of the ' designer' stuff that comes in IS PAST SEASON OR A SECOND. The layout of the store is annoying as with rails and rails of clothes to search and things are not in the right places or all over the shop floor and the top you like will never be in smaller / bigger size as the stock just comes in with what there is and hat's it , once it's gone it's gone. The shop sells men, woman s and children's clothes but they also sell a shoes most of them are weird I have to say , The home section has some really nice...

TK Maxx - A Men's Guide

Advantages: Labels For Less
Disadvantages: Clothes Shopping is boring for Men

...I can't believe that anyone reading this HASN'T been to a T K Maxx so I'll try and make this Review a bit different.... In case you didn't know, the T K Maxx proposition is that you get 'labels' for up to 60% off the RRP (recommended retail price) They are US based and have about 800 stores worldwide. Their target Customer is 'a savvy consumer who is fashion and value conscious' We have three (possibly more) stores in Glasgow that I am pretty familiar with If you are into 'designer labels' but too skint to afford the 'full' price, this store will appeal to you I must declare at the outset that I think 'designer labels' are a total con, if you look at the garmets, they are all made in Sri Lanka, the Phillipines, China, Vietnam or wherever, the same as clothes in Tesco and Primark but with a much higher price ticket. I will...

Turn On to Chanel 5

Advantages: A classic
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Now we're into December, the annual frenzy of consumerism that is Xmas is in full flow, and with it those shopping decisions that will determine whether you spend the festive season in the fun-house, or the dog-house. Here's my tip for the guys. If you can afford it, buy her CHANEL No 5. It's expensive, but it will tell her you think she's worth every penny! (which of course she is). It?s probably the most famous brand of perfume in the world, one that everyone has heard of, and she'll know you think she's special. CHANEL is French (there's a surprise), the French are well known for producing the best fragrances. COCO CHANEL revolutionized the fashion world in the 1920?s, and when she introduced Chanel no.5 in 1923, she was onto a winner with that as well. One of the good things about CHANEL is that it is timeless. This isn...

Review of Chanel No.5 Eau De Parfum Spray

Theres no need to Maxx out your cards to get designer labels!

Advantages: Great prices, organised by style and then by size.
Disadvantages: Queues can get horrendously long.

...quite often there are big queues (think of Primark at lunchtimes and you've got it!) so you may have to wait up to 10 minutes but then I don't mind this (as I don't in Primark) because the prices are so low. Based on my review above and due to the long queues I am going to rate TK Maxx 4/5....

A good way to Maxx out your credit card!

Advantages: some great bargains to be had, exciting finding them!
Disadvantages: can be disorganised, easy to get carried away

...I am now in the fortunate (or unfortunate, if you are the one who views my bank account at the end of the day!) position of working close to not one but two TK Maxx stores. One I must walk past to get to work, and one is five minutes away in a retail park I can visit easily on my break. I'd always wandered in now and then and usually found a lot of bargains, but having two right under my nose has led to me walking in to pass five minutes before work, and now I'm beginning to think I'm not actually saving money on things I need, but buying a lot of things I don't because they're on sale! There are currently 210 TK Maxx stores in the UK, Ireland and Germany, and they usually tend to be in retail parks or shopping centres rather than on the street. Each store promises big-name brands at up to 60% off. What's more they get new stock...
