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

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...

Philips Arcitec Shaver

Advantages: easy to clean, smooth shaving, docking bay
Disadvantages: doesnt hold most charge, compared to others, but good enough

...Note: This is my boyfriends shaver - I wrote the review while he dictated. I don't need to use a shaver (...at least I think I don't...) I bought this for my boyfriend for his birthday as an upgrade to a previous Philips shaver. It was on offer in Boots at the time and I paid about £140 as well as generating some Boots loyalty points. ~~~~~~~ The Unit ~~~~~~~ At the time it was the 2nd from the top of the range - the top of the range was the nivea moisturise one. It also has an edge trimmer and the boyfriend does not bother with moisturiser (!) so this model is sufficient. The shaver is about 6 inches tall and about 2 inches wide so it fits in the palm of your hand. The control is an on/off button located in the handle at the front in the centre. ~~~~~~ Usage ~~~~~~ The shaver has an ultra slim and easy to use...

Review of Philips RQ 1075 Arcitec

Philips Arcitec - Helping you to value your face

Advantages: Good qulaity of Shave
Disadvantages: Slightly Higher Price

... Philips Arcitec This one is one of the finest product of Philips in Electric Shavers. A lot of marketing in support of this product with a high price of about 160 to 250 GBP is not just a hype but true. It is actually a great product and thus its price should not stop it to capture the market. Quality of Shave The Quality of the Shaver is always determined from its ability to remove hairs. My shave has always been a challenge for the shavers and this one proved to be a good performer in dealing with it. It is capable of removing the hairs from the remotest areas of your face and the ones whic are indeed left out by normal cheap shavers. Going some details, it was able to shave off the hairs from my neck and on the side skins that cover my lip which in normal conditions would leave side burns. Its always difficult to...

Philips Electric Shaver

Advantages: Built In Conditioner, quiet, stylish, effective
Disadvantages: Bit of a hassle to clean

...and colours. The feel of it is very comfortable on the hand and is easy to grip, due to slight ridges around the back of the shaver. This also makes it very comfortable and easy to hold, which i would say is one of the most important factors in something that is to be used daily. Also, obviously, it must be good at its job. Which this shaver is. It did a very good job, and was the closest shave i have ever had. I was previously using a gillette mach 3 razor and shaving foam. The Philips shaver eliminates the need for shaving foam, which i always found an annoyance. I think that the reason for the closeness is the fact that each of the heads vibrates/girates and moves independantly, meaning that they can move accordingly to each person's individual features. Moving around the jaw bone and cheek bones, means that it gets alot closer to the skin...

Philips TT 2021 Bodygroom For The Perfect Shave

Advantages: Close, comfortable and convinient
Disadvantages: Packaging not great

...My husband is very fussy when it comes to shaving and he likes to have his own razor that I don't use. He used to spend a lot of money on purchasing the Gillette Fusion Power 4 pack priced at 7.99GBP. After finding out that I was using his razor he decided to buy the Rechargeable body shave system Phillips TT2021 this is not to be confused with the Phillips TT2020 which is similar, but not the one I am reviewing. So my husband decided to buy this razor because he knew that I wouldn't use it because I cannot use electric razor's like this they make me come out in a rash and do not work on my skin. I asked my husband to review this razor and to give me his opinions of how effective the razor is. The following is the review that I have rewritten in my own words for the purposes of Ciao. This razor is exclusively for men...

McUnhealthy

Advantages: cheap, widely available, quick
Disadvantages: unhealthy, dubious ethics

...McDonalds have tried to revitalise their unhealthy image. Despite introducing salads, this hasn?t been that successful in the fact that they contain more fat than a burger with all the toppings and dressings! History: McDonalds was started by Ray Krock in 1955 in Illinois. Mac and Dick McDonald had made him the first franchisee. In 1961 Ray Kroc bought all rights to the McDonald's concept from the McDonald's brothers for $2.7 million. In 1974 The 3,000th McDonald's restaurant was opened in southeast London. The company admitted that nobody went in and later decided to target children with TV advertising. It opened in the UK and has been expanding ever since. From Montreal to Macau, from Beijing to Berlin, McDonalds is everywhere. Well over 1000 UK restaurants now exist. McDonald's serves 29 million people every day in 119 countries...

Nanny McPhee

Advantages: great comedy and a good story
Disadvantages: none

...children who inflict so much trouble on the hired nanny's end up leaving with-in hours, going through 17 within weeks. When the nanny agency bans the family Cedric is at his wits end, with only his cook, Mrs Blatherwick, (played by Imelda Staunton) and the scullery maid, Evangeline (played by Kelly McDonald) still left to hold the household together. That is until a knock at the door suddenly changes everything. When the front door opens there stands a scary looking lady, her face full of warts and a thick crooked cane in her hand. Nanny McPhee has arrived and has five simple lessons to teach the children?.. 1} to go to bed when they are told 2} to get up when they are told 3} to get dressed when they are told 4} to liston 5} to do as they are told With each lesson learnt a new thing happens to Nanny McPhee and the family...
