The Philips SPC 200N PC Webcam

Advantages: Relatively cheap and robust
Disadvantages: Poor picture quality

...The Philips SPC 200N PC Webcam, I only recommend it as a budget camera! The Camera's User guide is VERY easy to follow - only two pages of instruction in each of 8 languages! Installation takes minutes. Camera (about 4X6X8 cm and as light as a feather) plugs into a USB so does not require an extra power supply. It is very robust, but being so light it tends to be dragged to the side by the weight of its own wire! Flat base so cannot be mounted onto a laptop or speakers. Looks just like the image on the box? Picture quality is painfully bad, and cannot cope with ANY movement, but most budget webcams are like that? Microphone not inbuilt but a massive one you have to keep right in front of your moth is included. Software you can use to take videos with the camera is included in the installation CD, but video quality is...

Review of Philips SPC 200NC PC Camera

SPC - Increase profit by reducing waste

Advantages: Improves profit by reducing business waste
Disadvantages: Needs a little application

...What is SPC? Statistical Process Control has been around for many years and was first introduced by Walter Shewhart at the Bell Telephone Laboratories and led to his book, "Economic Control of Quality of Manufactured Product", first published in the early 1930's. Then it was exported to Japan in the 1950's by W. Edwards Deming who initiated wide scale statistical training. The rest is a very successful history. It is a philosophy that uses statistical techniques in all areas of a company for continuous improvement by reducing variation in all processes by focusing on defect prevention (before it occurs) rather than detection (after the fact inspection). Essentially a preventive technique for business improvement, it targets process variation thereby reducing waste and any associated costs by process monitoring and control...

Review of SPC With Confidence (Statistical Process Control Revealed)

Personal review of the Philips 42PFL7404H

Advantages: Slimmer and lighter than many LCD TVs of similar size.
Disadvantages: None come to mind.

...This is an excellent example of Philips ingenuity. If you are about to consider changing to a larger screen size, then this 42' screen is well worth a closer look. It has a superb contrast ratio, which really improves the definition of the darkest and lightest images and displays striking colours that are lifelike and vibrant. The ease of installation is also a great benefit, whereby most settings can be achieved through a simple automatic process. Should you also be thinking of wall mounting this receiver, then you will be pleased to know that this particular model is thinner than many TV's currently available and also a lot lighter. The remote control has been well thought out with a special home button, which enables easy selection of external devices, like satellite boxes, digital receivers, DVD players and recorders or PC...

SPC Pears - Great for kids and adults

Advantages: Convenient, good value, can re-use the packaging
Disadvantages: Availability - can be difficult to get the variety you want

...I am lucky (or I suppose some would say crafty) as my little girl (3 years old) loves fruit and vegetables. However, from a young age I gave her fruit and vegetables as treats instead of sweets. This is how she now views them. The SPC pear slices in juice are excellent for me and a good value, convenient alternative to tinned fruit. I use these for snacks and for my little girls lunchbox for nursery. The beauty of them is that you can use as little or as much as you like then pop the lid back in and put them back in your fridge. If you open a tin then you tend to use the whole tin or have to find a container to store the unused fruit in. The quality is easily as good as tinned. I find them much cheaper as my little girl eats such a large quantity of fruit I would get though too many tins. I also buy the peach slices...

Review of SPC Natures Finest Pear Slices in Juice

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...

Review of Philips HS 8020 Moisturizing /COOL SKIN

Exceptional piece of equipment from Philips that delivers!

Advantages: Superb sound quality and easy to use
Disadvantages: Missed call and sim card transfer needs improvement

...have. The base units are finished in a high gloss black finish likewise the handsets themselves. What is very well thought out is the design of the handset. Whilst the high gloss finish does look very elegant, it is a proverbial pain in the rear to keep clean as it shows up finger marks very easily. On this handset however, Philips have used a high gloss finish on the sides but kept the front of the unit (the bit that comes into contact with you) a matt finish dramatically reducing the need for constant cleaning. A nice little touch inside the box is the inclusion of two large spectacle type cleaning cloths to keep your phone looking its optimum. Features >>>>>>>> One of the main features of the phone is the incorporation of an answering machine. Messages are recorded digitally rather than the old tape machines of the past. Up to...

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...

Review of Philips TT 2021 Bodygroom

Nice one Philips!

Advantages: Cleans up as it goes
Disadvantages: None

...I bought this trimmer around a month ago after the battery in my old trimmer (also Philips) gave up. As I'd been happy with Philips previously I looked around and found that the choice was basically QT4020 or QT4045. At first I was somewhat skeptical about the idea of having a vacuum trimmer, but based on positive reviews I thought I'd give it a try. The idea also appealed to my other half who for some reason isn't a fan of finding the toilet seat covered in beard trimmings so I ordered from Amazon for £27.14. First impression is that unit is noticeably larger than my previous model, perhaps due to the added vacuum unit, but it's still perfectly manueverable. As far as perfroming its primary role this is a good trimmer. At 1 - 3 length cuts its performs well and most importantly the toilet seat remains beardless. At length 0 (no guard...

Review of Philips QT 4045 Vacuum Power

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...
