Phillips CD445 Cordless Digital Phone

Advantages: Stylish, Good Answerphone and Great Price
Disadvantages: Poor Battery Life

...Good Phone for a great Price but very poor battery life I like this phone very much and bought it for around £30. A great price for the selection of features you get in comparison to similar phones in the same price range. Firstly I would recommend looking closely at the specs of any phones you get. For example some don't come with a backlit display so you could be left fumbling around in the dark if the phone goes during the night. Luckily the Phillips CD445 has a nice blue backlit display. It was also very simple to setup and use within 10 mins. The instructions were great and proved a good reference guide for anything that I couldn't work out myself. The answerphone is great and means I can screen all those annoying sales calls that you get during the day. A speakerphone option is also available for hands free calling...

Review of Philips CD 445

  Philips cordless answer phone for the home.

Advantages: Neat and easy to use
Disadvantages: None

...The old answer phone is dead; it has for some time been unreliable but a few days ago the last cassette tape was gobbled up by the machine, wrapping itself round the play heads. OK, I admit, it was a bit old fashioned. Now I have a lovely modern digital recorder with two handsets fit for the 21st century. After doing some research on the internet I decided upon the Philips CD235 Duo digital phone with answering machine. ○◊○ A short history of Philips ○◊○ Philips as a company is more properly called Royal Philips Electronics and they are based in the Netherlands. The company was established in 1891 making carbon filament lamps. In 1927 they started producing radios and by 1932 had sold more than a million radios. In 1939 they launched the first Philips electric shaver and later in...

Review of Philips CD2351S

Philips CD 535

Advantages: Reputable brand, good solid build quality, excellent price
Disadvantages: Ringtones

...I bought this phone to replace a Panasonic dect phone which I've had for a few years. It was on special offer in Comet and I paid £39.99 instead of £80.00. A 50% saving and a reputable brand too. I've never had any Philips products before and I was very impressed at how well it was packaged. Even the batteries (2 x AAA) for each handset were boxed. The phone was so easy to set-up. Everything is menu driven. It took a while to programme all my telephone numbers in. Thankfully there is a facility to copy them onto an additional handset so I only had to type them in once. Sound quality on the phone is excellent and I can't fault it. The handset is a good size and weight and the buttons on the handset are of a good size especially for somebody like me who has chunky fingers. The handsets illuminate in orange when picked up off...

Top banana phone

Advantages: Great range, fantastic sound, nice ringtones
Disadvantages: Not many really

...Hello everyone and welcome to this review! In Tesco the other night and had a phone call, ?the house phone is not working, pickup a new one!?, great?. But what one? That?s when my mobile battery went and I was left to decide on my own. Off to the phone isle I went. We needed a cordless with an answering machine and a good battery life, I was getting somewhere! There were around 50 phones on display and this Philips CD2551 caught my eye straight away, its lovely large size and modern looking base and a claimed 12 hours battery life, it was mine. Not forgetting it had an answering machine and a 100 person phonebook. How much did it cost? Only £29.99 for the single handset phone, there was also a set of 2 and 3. What is a cordless phone? *************************************** Well? It is simply a house phone...

Philips SoundMachine AZ102N - The Soundmaster!

Advantages: Good quality chassis, good sound quality, does everything for the price, looks nice.
Disadvantages: Inbuilt handle could have been better, silver version better than white -preference.

...I needed something to listen to while I worked at home, in the garden and in the office and I needed it quick. Paying a quick visit to my local Bennets I picked up the AZ102N, a CD/Radio by Dutch manfacturers Philips. Because I wanted something cheap and cheerful that would be subject to a few knocks I picked up Bennet's own brand £19.99 stereo which had unfortunately sold out, this was the next cheapest thing but I am glad I picked a reputable brand because it fulfills all of my needs as a radio and CD player. It was very well packaged with a power cable, instruction manual and cardboard packaging (very environmentally conscious there). The picture for this review is silver, mine is light blue and white which does not help with dust or grime. I feel the silver version would have hidden day to day scratches and dust better. The stereo...

Review of Philips AZ102C

Mr Philips is a clever man

Advantages: Small and it rotates
Disadvantages: None I can think of

...This is a compact, light 15" flat panel display screen (34.3 cm x 17.9 cm x 35.4 cm). It only weighs in at about 4.6 kg so is easy to move around the table, dust under etc. Mine is an off white colour but apparently it comes in black as well. This product was donated to me as I work for a charity but I have had a scout about and they cost roughly £300 (including VAT). It has its own integrated power supply It comes with a fitted Microphone and stereo speakers fitted on the base which I find to have been extremely handy as I use video - conferencing and I feel they are up to the job without having to buy extra accessories. The microphone has quite a large range so you do not need to eat it in order to be heard. CD's and other sounds, sound pleasant enough through the speakers as well. There is a light, which lets you know if...

Review of Philips Brilliance 150P3C

A Home Phone with Funky Ring Tones!

Advantages: Easy to set up and use
Disadvantages: None

...Recently we have been haunted by our cordless home phones! Ringing once during the night with no caller, giving us the fright of our lives, cutting out during a call and crackling so we can't hear the other person talking! We decided we definitely needed to invest in a new set and what better time than the sales! We searched around a few shops and online and felt the best deal we found was from Tesco. Reduced from £49.99 to £29.99 The Philips CD245 Duo Digital Cordless Phone Set was just what we were looking for. The Packaging The phones are packaged neatly in a cardboard box. Included in the box are the 2 phone handsets, the 2 phone bases, one of which includes an answer machine, 2 mains adapters, the cable to connect the main phone to the phone line and 4 rechargeable batteries, 2 for each handset. All items are well...

Review of Philips CD2453S

Philips Audio XQ

Advantages: Reliable, relatively cheap
Disadvantages: -

...I recently had to purchase a set of CD-R's to produce some CD's, for legal reasons I should point out!! So I brought a set of the 'XQ' version, along with the 'Q' version produced by Philips. Made in Germany, the 'blurb' on the packaging states: 'For use with all Digital Audio CD-Recorders. Philips CD-R Q/XQ offer high quality, digital audio performance.' But do they really offer high quality?? Well, the majority of the CDs were used to burn mp3's, so that would partly rely on the quality of the mp3's more than anything, although after listening to them via the CD, there were absolutely no apparently signs of the quality of the songs having faded after being placed on the CD. Occasionally, I find that some CD-R's don't work when being written on, possibly because of the speed of my computer drive, but thankfully not one...

Review of Philips Audio XQ CD-R 80 min

Philips Aluminium quality juicer

Advantages: Healthy living, quick simple design
Disadvantages: blade removal, a little bulky

...Excellent item, it extracts all the juice you can get. However the blade/filter section can be difficult to remove when it has been used. The pulp is excellent for composting because it is reduced to very fine matter that can be broken down very easily. The whole item is generally easy to clean and is stable when in use. Waste container is easy to empty and collection jug is easy to clean too. The aluminium finish is very chic, looking good in your kitchen. I particularly like the rubber sucker feet on the juicer, these prevent the juicer sliding on your work top. I have seen many different juicers before i bought this one and i would say overall it is the best one that i could find. well done Philips for an innovative item that serves a healthy and valuable purpose with style. Recommended to all thos who want to make their healthy...
