Oregon Scientific DP-200

Advantages: Motion sensor, Radio controlled, Bright projection
Disadvantages: Cost £85 - £100, Radio signal dependant on weather

...I have been using a previous Oregon Scientific projection clock for the past couple of years, and I have been very pleased with it. I decided to get this model because one of the main points is that the projection is strong enough to be seen in daylight. Even on a really bright day, it is still possible to see the time on the ceiling or wall, unlike previous models. As with previous models, it has the radio controlled time feature, meaning that it is always up to date, and requires no manual changes. Although it is possible to turn the radio signal receiver off, and do it manually. This may have to be done if you are using it in an area of weak or no signal. With this clock, it has a switch so that it can be taken anywhere in Europe, and it should continue to work. The clock also came with an outdoor temperature sensor which...

Oregon Scientific DS9300 - Get what you pay for

Advantages: Price, Extras
Disadvantages: Performance, Robustness

...My Experience? I've had the Oregon Scientific digital camera for around 2 years now, and overall I have been disappointed. However I have a little relief in the fact that I paid very little for it through a TV bidding channel, Bid-up TV, I recall that it was about £100 along with an array of free image editing and gallery software. Ever since I received the camera it has gone down hill consistently. I know others have had good experiences with this camera, so it would appear to be on an individual basis, but do take heed. Also as other owners have reported the camera will often freeze on random occasions. To resolve, remove the batteries and replace them, this usually makes the camera work again. Even the slightest little tap will crash the camera and it will turn off. Schematics? The camera has a very simple, conventional...

The Oregon Scientific mp3 player. orange. 128 MB

Advantages: Very Handy in size,self-charge ,compact, very discreet, and quite cool looking. simplicity at its finest.
Disadvantages: delicate, could be potentially easily broken without the right amount of care.

...feature, I was amazed. This Mp3 Player (the Oregon scientific) has different sound settings, for example, the ''Rock'' setting??this one has a more significant bassy theme to it. Where as the ''classical'' setting had more of an easy-listening theme going on. You can choose which you prefer to suits your tastes from around three or four of these different settings. Rock, Blues, Pop, Classical and Jazz. To navigate this mp3 player is very simple. There is a cursor to the left of the main screen and if you press it down in the middle, your menu appears. You can easily navigate from there flicking the cursor left, right, up or down to choose what your looking for switching between tracks and even deleting a few along the way. You can set it to ''Random'' or you can select tracks to put into a list. Another amazing feature is that...

An Alarmingly Poor Clock

Advantages: Nice looks, Projection feature, Radio controlled time reception
Disadvantages: The "alarm off" button is minute and located under the clock, Glows very brightly at night

...enough to sell! At least this seems to me how the Oregon RM383P Cube Projection Alarm Clock was created. I bought one recently after the cheap-as-chips Acctim alarm clock that I bought from Woolworths about seven years ago (and which DID have a big friendly button on top, making turning the thing off very easy at 6.30am) finally packed up. With Woolworths having gone much the same way as my old clock, I turned to the internet to help find its successor. Unfortunately, I found the process much harder than buying a new alarm clock really should be. Try it. If you don?t want a radio alarm clock, CD alarm clock, IPod alarm clock or weather station alarm clock, you seem to have very little choice in timepieces at all. I personally don?t want to wake up to music, and would rather look out of my window to see what the weather is like than pay...

Review of Oregon Scientific RM 383 P

Alarmingly Good!

Advantages: Alarm gets me out of bed every morning
Disadvantages: Build quality and design don't look the best.

...Of all the things I expected when I upgraded my mobile phone, the need to buy a new alarm clock wasn't among them. Unfortunately, for all the things my new phone does bigger and better than the old one, the alarm on the Nokia was far better than the one on the Sony Ericsson. I'll never know whether I slept through the alarm or inadvertently turned it off when I was trying to set it, but within a few days of having changed my mobile phone, the new one failed to wake me up, which was something the alarm on the old one never did. I decided on the Oregon Scientific projection alarm clock largely because my flatmate had one and it looked pretty funky with the time displayed on the bedroom ceiling. I'm not normally one for fancy gadgets, but that did seem like a pretty cool feature. In addition, she sleeps quite deeply, as do I...

Review of Oregon Scientific RM 313 P

Great Machine!

Advantages: Quick Work-Out, Cheaper than Power Plates, Great Results
Disadvantages: Only tones your body, doesnt keep you fit.

...This machine is simply a must if you want to tone yourself up and not have the hassle of going to the gym for hours each week! I bought one of these off Ebay, and now so glad i did. Its simply an amazing piece of kit. My Personal Experience At first i thought, surely this machine cant be as good as i've been reading all over the net, people must be exagerating and just trying to sell the machine. How wrong i was.... The first time i used this, i trained at level 10 (ranges from 1-20) thinking i can take it at that level no problem, and sure enough i was ok, i did a few different positions for my legs, stomache and arms. I trained for about 10 minutes, as i wanted to see how much this would actualy do, and sales reports tell me that 10minutes of using this machine is equivelent to 1 hour at the gym. Boy oh boy did i feel it...

An Organiser By Any Other Name

Advantages: Looks a lot dearer than it is. Links to PC for proper typing
Disadvantages: Currency converter limited to ?.

...assistants, and some even sprouted ?proper? keyboards, albeit rather small, like the Psion range. Of course these also had pretensions to be a PC, with built in word processing and spreadsheet facilities. For a while, I had one of these, never made any use of the new features, and then lost interest when it started going faulty. If I?m honest, what I?ve been looking for all along is an electronic address book that can be input to from a PC. The Oregon Scientific PDA188 is exactly what I?ve been looking for. At £20, it is DEFINITELY what I?ve been looking for! You can also buy it packaged by Boots at the moment for the same price. So what do you get for your £20? - 256K of memory* touch-screen organiser, with Telephone Number\Address Book, Scheduler, Memo Pad, International Time\Alarm Clock, Calendar, Calculator and Currency Converter...

Review of Oregon Scientific PDA 188

Sony Dictation Machine......Interesting

Advantages: Great quality product
Disadvantages: None

...--Introduction-- This is a bit of a strange product to be reviewing, but nevertheless they are widely used pieces of equipment. I have found that dictation machines can be very handy and are generally very good at what they are designed to do. They have many different uses, most people will associate them with journalists who hound famous people for an interview. They can come in handy if you are in a meeting and you can't really keep up with what is being said. The use that my Dad had for this machine, was as a back up to his notes when he carried out inventories on rented property. He could desribe what he saw in front of him and it is far quicker than writing notes. He said that he also found it easier to describe awkward or strange things far easier through speech, than actually writing it down. --Sound Quality...

great machine it works!

Advantages: it does asa it says
Disadvantages: might make you feel dizzy

...i can say that this is a great machine it really works and gives you good results i wouldnt say the best but you can certainly tell after a period of time that your body has toned up, i havent got one of these myself but i would like to get one when i can afford it lets say. the vibration on this machine is not like a massage its more intense and when you stay on it for quite a while you will feel your muscles tightnen thats when you know its working. so i definatly gives this machine a thumbs up, i suggest you buy this machine if your too lazy or bored to go to the gym because you can do many exercises on this in the comfort of your own home. this is a great machine and would recommend this a good buy...

21 hours a day

Advantages: Communicate, for free, in any condition
Disadvantages: Instruction's bill not very user friendly

...kind of matter, my choice fall to the Oregon Scientific Atlanta PMR TP-329, its specifications (skills) going over the avarage standards. It is stupendous, having a trip with friends with several cars and getting in touch each other with these fabulous devices. Even along the ski run, or inside supermarkets, for a walk on the mountain, every time you could surely find the usefulness of these radios.. Personally, me and my wife, often use them when we go at the shopping mall to get in touch each other: she fills the shopping chart while I search specific produces that interest me.. lol.. The quality of the loudspeacker is wonderful. With a dimension and look of a bar soap, this little and cute station could find place in any pocket. Batteries, 3 x AAA and 700mAh each, rechargeable and supplied, last 21 hours. Inside their lodging...
