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...

Accessories

Advantages: cheap, plenty to choose from
Disadvantages: staff seem miserable

...Claire's accessories is a shop for the females. It's mainly young children and teenagers that shop here but you do find older women here too. The shop sells:- hair accessories nail varnish belts purses jewellery and more You can also have your ears pierecd here too. I've been in the shop a couple of times now to buy hair accessories and nail varnish. There is a wide range of items to choose from in different colours. As soon as you go through the door though, they are lunging a hand basket at you. If you do not take one they do not seem too pleased about it either. When you are paying for your goods, they always ask if you want to buy the bargain of the day like a nail file. They do not seem to be satisfied with what you take to the counter at all. The shop is quite small but it does sell plenty of items. It...

Accessories and more

Advantages: good little accessories, good bargains
Disadvantages: crowded, staff not always pleasant

...I know a lot of people that when you say Claire's Accessories they would say oh that shop for teenagers but it isn't for them only, it's for girls in general. Females I should maybe say it sells a lot of things that are not too expensive but very nice still. From the branches I have been in I have seen them sell make-up, nail accessories, bags, books and so many things. This shop is not only in the UK because I saw t in America so I don't actually know where it started. One main thing I know this shop for is piercing ears they are trained I'm sure but I don't think I could trust anyone. They pierce ears usually right at the front of the shop and everyone can watch, they will probably be fine but they could do it away from the customers buying and I have heard that not all of the staff here actually know how to pierce. I love...

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...

Movies should be seen... But not heard?

Advantages: Very sturdy; Great picture quality; Price
Disadvantages: Microphone is awful; Eats batteries; Slightly fiddly buttons

...After a long time wondering about getting a small video camera to film my various cycling 'adventures', but being put off by the cost and size of many cameras, I hit upon the Actioncam ATC-2000 and immediately saw it as a solution I had been waiting for. My hopes for an easy to use and generally high quality picture have, for the most part, been realised - although that's not to say there aren't a few niggles which hold this product back from being perfect. The unit itself is completely self-contained. In some cameras a separate battery pack, or recording unit, has to be carried on your body, while the camera itself is mounted wherever you want it. With this camera everything is housed within the 11cm long body - there are no cables to wire around yourself, and no separate pieces to find a home for. This makes for a nicely...

Claire's untidy, expensive accessories

Advantages: No queues as they're never busy
Disadvantages: expensive and cluttered

...Claire's accessories moved to Harlow a few years ago, much to the delight of everyone as it was a welcome newcomer being that it was the first specialist hair-care and odds'n'ends shop in the town. Up until then we had to rely on a market stall or small ranges offered by various other shops and supermarkets. I give it fair ratings that the stuff they offer is in keeping with current trends, keeping today's girls whatever age kitted out in the fashion, but (always a but) the shop needs a little attention in the following areas: It's not just school age girlies who want to be trendy so how about making it a little less cluttered for us 'mumsies' to get a pushchair around inside without the worry of knocking the person next to you out with the swing of a Tesco's carrier? I've only got a single pushchair so I pity those with a double...

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...

A Range of Accessories but It's Too Small!

Advantages: a large range of accessories, good bags
Disadvantages: the shop is too small, it's overpriced for what it is

...Claires Accessories is a shop MORE for teenagers but adults and younger children do tend to find something in there to their liking. I'm not a regular shopper at Claires and when I go shopping I normall y just have a quick browse and leave or buy something. Layout and Presentation Claires Accessories is a very small shop and it is filled to the brim with accessories. Every single wall is covered with shelfs or hooks with bags and other things hung on them. Theres also rotating display racks with loads of earings. The lighiting is okay, it's not too bright nor is it dim. It's a bit claustrophobic exspecially when it's crowded. Presentation wise, it's a bit messy and staff could put a bit more effort into keeping the shop tidy. Selection and Range There is a range of accessories in Claires, these are bracelets, neclaces, earings...
