In the car on the plane on a bus its there

Advantages: Portable and easy to understand
Disadvantages: The stick can be easily lost

...for the touch sreen, it is not that sharp but it must be kept away from childrens eyes and if the end is chewn then it will not stay in its slot and will probably get lost so be aware of that. But in my view it is very entertaining and can be brought on holiday for the plane or a car journey perhaps? But what ever it needs to be used for it is there and if it has low battery power you can buy a car charger that slots in to cigarrette lighters in cars. I hope this has helped........................blossom11...

Philips QC5170 - The Good & The Bad

Advantages: 60 Minute Cordless Charge, Rotating Head For Self Cut, Quick Size Settings
Disadvantages: Only Cuts Hair Short, No Case or Box, Can be overcharged

...Great product, BUT read the whole review before buying!!! I have been cutting my own hair for several years now and have always used corded heavy standard clippers. but then thought i would try these Design - These are fantastically designed clippers, they are light, they look great, and they feel awesome in your hands. They have a perfect curve and grip on them so at whatever angle you are holding them you sure not to drop them. Some people who review these say they are too light and if you threw them across the floor they will break!! They are light but they are not designed to be indestructible, they are light enough to be manageable but heavy enough to know they are their. Function - These clippers also have great funtionality on them, one charge will give these things a full 60 minute charge, and they do not lose power as...

Review of Philips QC 5170

Games Console and Home Entertainment in one.

Advantages: Excellent Graphics, Ample Memory, Free online gaming, Blue - Ray excellent!!!
Disadvantages: Cost a bit(Worth every penny in my opinion)

...Introduction Well in this review i am going to tell you all you need to know about the playstation 3 based purely on my experience as i own one and also my personal opinions. The main reason i chose the playstation 3 is simple because of modern day technology is changing for example Blue - Ray has been introduced to the world and as it goes the playstation happened to have it already built in to the console that made my mind up even more to buy the playstation 3 ahead of rivals X box as the X box 360 doesn't support Blue - Ray. My experience in the past with playstaion has been excellent i have had all the games consoles they have made and have had no problems, what makes me even more convinced i made the right decision was the fact that i have been loyal all the way through and stuck by Sony and their creations. The Playstation 3...

Review of Sony PlayStation 3 (PS3)

Philips lack technical quality in poor product

Advantages: Plays DivX media
Disadvantages: Very Slow, doesn't record own brand media and NO customer support

...Please read the email below sent to Philips customer care as this explains most of the problems encountered with this product. Though I received a confirmation receipt informing me I would have a reply within 4 working days, it has now been 14 working days and still no response. And no, I am not going to ring their 090 number to speak to a customer service adviser as this is just another way of taking more money from the consumer. -------------------------------------------------------------- ----- SUBJECT "Recording issues when using Philips +RW Disc Media ("Update" message showing in LED Display)" - from your FAQ's. Dear Sir/Madam I'm absolutely shocked/gob-smacked:- how can a company of your magnitude and experience release an untested product onto the market? Brought this DVD Recorder as I have always trusted...

Review of Philips DVDR 3380

Entertaining Indeed

Advantages: varied products, something for everyone
Disadvantages: could add more sub-categories perhaps

...The Entertainment section of Ciao is probably the one I use most, being very keen on both reading and writing opinions in this category. It has quite a wide brief, as it includes eight main sections - Films, Books, Music, TV, Radio, DVDs, Videos, Newspapers and Magazines. Each of these then has a number of sub-categories, meaning that hopefully, everyone can find something of interest. For example, the Books category is divided into Fiction, Non-Fiction, Plays, Poetry and Writer's Corner. The first four are fairly obvious in their content, but the Writer's Corner was new to me and being a wannabe novelist and sometime poet, I was interested to explore this further. The Writer's Corner is then sub-divided into Literary Criticism and Theory, Writer's Websites and (similar to the category I am now writing in) Member's Advice On. This...

Review of Entertainment

In the name of entertainment watch this

Advantages: A great feel good fantasy movie
Disadvantages: Burt Reynolds

...'s. The similarities begin and end with them both being fantasy genre. In the Name of the King is a fantasy film in its own right and a damn fine one. It is a shame about the Lord of the Rings films because I feel many viewers will try to make this film fit with those and in doing so then look to draw comparisons, just to criticise In the Name of the King for falling short of being a LOTR film. Acting It can be argued that this film has a strong cast and as such it adds heaps of strength to the film. Jason Statham dominates and owns the hero role and simply does not err in this film in this role. He has a very strong on screen presence and his martial arts skill in this film make for some highly entertaining combat scenes as he cuts a swathe through the Krug with his sword and boomerang. LeeLee Sobieski is in great form and shows off...

Review of In The Name Of The King (DVD)

DAB a DAB a DOO

Advantages: Improves radio quality, easy to use
Disadvantages: Wires can get in the way, another thing to remember

...finish school. Like I say, easy to use. Much like a Sat Nav you can take it in and out of the car and you stick it your window like a Sat Nav. However if you do have Sat Nav, this can also be a con - if you think about it, another thing to remember in the morning and another thing stuck to your window. Another draw back to it is that you may find the cable gets in the way, dependent on where you have it. It is supplied with a in car power supply which you plug into your ciggerrate lighter - which can also be another downside if your Sat Nav starts to lose it's battery life. You can use standard batteries, but it's not as good - the signal seems weaker and it's definately not as loud. As a drummer, I am going deaf so I need things as loud as possible! Tuning it in is very simple, you select the DAB radio 'wave/address' (whichever...

Review of Pure Digital Highway IN-CAR DAB Tuner

So far so good

Advantages: Cheap, easy to use
Disadvantages: Needs an external aerial to get full advantage (in my case anyway)

...I used to have a DAB radio in my old Vauxhall Vectra company car & when it came to replace it I went for a Toyota which doesn't have a DAB as standard (£1500 upgrade with sat-nav, rear camera etc) even though it has a DAB button so I went for a Pure Highway, as previously stated these take up more space on the windscreen with cables everywhere. I came up with the solution of fitting it into my centre console armrest, out of sight, open the cover to change channels, luckily my armrest has a 12V socket & a Aux in so I don't have to use the FM transmitter. Unfortunately the aerial cable was too short so I bought a 2.5mm connector 2m extension cable off e-bay. I tried the windscreen mounted aerial in several windows, I relly wanted to put it in the side quarter panel (I've had windscreens replaced on most of my cars so didn't want to...

Review of Pure Digital Highway IN-CAR DAB Tuner

The Pure Highway saved my life

Advantages: Very Portable and very easy to use
Disadvantages: Suffers from poor signal in some remote areas

.... The Highway also has an external input and an external output meaning you can plug an ipod into it and use it to listen through the in car stereo. The Highway also takes batteries and can be used as a portable DAB radio with headphones. A brilliant Radio it makes my working day a pleasure...

Review of Pure Digital Highway IN-CAR DAB Tuner

Entertain to Entertain

Advantages: Well maintained and plenty of good ops available
Disadvantages: Some glaring omissions in the books category

...I have found some success and recieved good feedback on my opinion about the games category, so I thought i would give it a go in the somewhat more competitive entertainment category. Time to test myself against the big guns. The first thing to note about the entertainment section is that there is such a wide berth of products available, from films to videos, computer games to restaurants, books to days out. You can find it all in this section. When you actually look into the sections you will soon find why it it so popular. These are the products that most people want to use, a night out is something people do often and want to get right, so reading an op on the place before going is only common sense. Because of this the opinions tend to get more reads. By far the most popular topics in here are the latest film...
