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...

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...

Philips EXP431 MP3 CD Player

Advantages: too many to list
Disadvantages: short battery life

...The Philips EXP431 Portable MP3 CD player lets you play self-recorded CDs with stacks of your MP3 tracks. A standard CD-R is capable of storing over three hours worth of MP3 files. There?s Digital Dynamic Bass Boost and Advanced Electronic Skip Protection to stop the cd skipping, even when jogging. One set of batteries gives you eight hours of mobile sound and best of all they're rechargeable so you don't have to buy new ones. And for those wanting to listen at home, a mains adapter is included in the box. i am truly amazed by this product! its just so small! u really don?t expect it to be quite as small as it is. The esp is amazing but u don?t even need it! Because of the size of the cds they are held so securely that it never ever skips even without the esp on when u shake it about loads! You can fit 50 tracks on one little cd which...

Review of Philips EXP431

in the blue mp3/cd player

Advantages: Good basic player
Disadvantages: reliability lets it down

...I was given this player to keep me occupied on my many long bus and train journeys. THE PLAYER This is a Japanese mp3 and CD player, which comes in a silver and blue top with a grey base. It is 13cmx13cmx2½cm which is about average size, so its more bag sized than pocket sized. It comes with an adapter and ear bud type headphones. It only has a small display area, so only displays limited information on it, such as which track and album or how long the song has been playing for. There are also little icons to display what modes you have it on, which are discussed later. The buttons are fairly small, so not fab it you are fumbling about in the dark or going under a tunnel, or if you have any arthritic type problems that makes it difficult to press small buttons. The overall appearance is nice and suitable for male or female...

Review of Panasonic CD / MP3 player

Philips AZ6000 DAB CD player

Advantages: Sound quality, remote control, aux in for iPod, bright display
Disadvantages: no clock or sleep function

...One of the best electronic purchases I have made. If you love your music then you could do far worse than to invest in one of these. Its is in a similar price bracket to current DAB radios already, but this also features an FM radio, a CD player and superior sound quality. One of the big plus points for me was the addition of an AUX IN socket on top of the player next to the headphone socket, this means that on top of CD's and DAB radio, I can also plug my iPod in and have my entire music collection play through it as well. The unit also comes with a remote control, very handy if you are listening in bed and just don't want to get out. The remote control does not just adjust volume, but also cycles through DAB radio stations and operates the CD player too. The unit has a backlit screen so you can see what is displayed even in low...

Review of Philips AZ6000

Philips PET 716 Portable DVD Player

Advantages: Sleek, modern design, good quality screen and speakers
Disadvantages: Battery life of just over 2 hours

...by using the remote control that the player comes into its own. In addition to the functionality available by using the buttons on the player, the remote provides the following: Set-up, Display, Subtitles, Audio, Zoom, Repeat and Angle. The remote is rather small, and must be carried separately from the player, so I tend to leave it at home so as to not lose it when on the move. However, the buttons on the player do provide adequate functionality for this to not be a problem. The player plays DVD, DVD+/-R, DVD+/-RW, DIV-X, MP3-CD, CD and CD-RW. Screen and Speakers The player has a 7" TFT colour LCD display which is adequate, but other players on the market do have larger screens. The speakers are loud and clear, but there is also a headphone jack for when you can't use the speakers. Battery Life The manufacturer states...

MY Philips DVD Player

Advantages: Looks nice, fairly priced and great audio/visual
Disadvantages: None as of yet

...--Introduction-- There is at last another addition to the Philips electrical family in our household. I am very pleased to say that this DVD player is a gift to me and now sits proudly in the seclusion of my own bedroom. I have been waiting for a while for my very own DVD player because there often isn't a solid two or so hours free time on the main living room television. It means that I hardly ever get to watch DVD's which can be very annoying. This DVD player is fairly up-market, a decision we made so that it would have a longevity and wouldn't need replacing for a number of years yet. This was purchased in store at Comet for £125 and it can be found at amazon.co.uk for £119.99. --Picture Playback-- The televison that the DVD player is wired up to, is around five years old but the quality is excellent. The pictures are...

Review of Philips DVP720SA

The Perfect cd player

Advantages: looks good, easy 2 use, huge batery life, 30cds onto 1
Disadvantages: headphones + software provided

...I came across this product whilst bored after doing my homework, fantasising about an ipod so I could store all my music. Whilst searching around the Internet I stumbled over many CD Mp3 players. I'd never heard of them before so I was intrigued to find out more. I had owned a Sony Minidisc player for about 2 years, and had become fed up with having to change the Minidisc every so often (yes I'm very lazy!) and it had become broken and did not want to send it of to the manufacturers to mend it which would have been very costly. A CD Mp3 player can store up to 30 albums onto one CD. This is very handy and by far easier than my previous Minidisc player is. This CD player comes with 2x AA alkaline rechargeable batteries which makes it possible to enjoy non-stop audio entertainment for up to 150 hours!!!! THE SOFTWARE Included...
