A Brill AV device that records & plays everything.

Advantages: Lightweight, Cheap and exceedingly versatile.
Disadvantages: Not the highest quality product on the market.

...well a videos Has a built in microphone you can record to View pictures, both Jpeg and Jpeg header in Raw files. As you can see, it covers all the AV basics. You can even us it as a home PVR. It also comes with all the cables you could ever need, including USB, Audio IN/OUT, Video IN/OUT, Scart adapter and a Compact Flash adapter so that you can download most major formats of memory card using the Compact Flash Slot. What you get is fantastic for the price (~£150 if you look hard). However, as with all amazing bargains, it has some downsides. It is a little quirky, as the user interface is not exactly poished. It is not always obvious how something is done, and sometimes, the backlight to the LCD screen doesn't come back on when it's meant to. But all these tiny niggles can be forgiven considering it's price. You have to...

Combination boilers

Advantages: Good where there is a lack of space.
Disadvantages: Not always the best option.

...Combination boilers (also known as combi boilers) are the most popular boilers in the UK. With a combination boiler you have one unit which supplies both your heating and hot water, there are no separate tanks. Advantages of a combi boiler: Hot water supplied on demand. No hot water cylinder required thus saving space which is why a lot of people choose to have a combi. Hot water supplied at mains pressure. Disadvantages: Most combi boilers can only supply one tap at any one time. You will be left with no hot water if the boiler was to break down. Not the best option for larger homes. Cannot supply hot water and heating simultaneously. With a combi boiler, the water is supplied on demand, which means when you open a hot water tap the boiler will fire up to heat the cold water entering the boiler, the water is heated by what...

Lego Technic Combine Harvester

Advantages: Looks so cool! Fun to assemble
Disadvantages: Don't misplace any pieces!

...find it so rewarding putting the pieces together and following the instructions to make something that looks really impressive. It looks really good on display and is a great conversation piece! It is currently looking very swish on a table in the corner of our sitting room. The total length of the combine harvester is a massive 17 inches! It really is impressive. The age on the box is 10 - 16 years, but personally I thought this was quite tricky to make, especially since there are so many pieces and the actual combine harvester is so big. I'm not sure I would have managed it when I was 10! There are 1025 pieces in the model. I would take care not to loose any pieces whilst making this, we had to stall our assembling for a little while while we searched for one tiny piece that we could not continue without! I would advise...

Review of Lego Technic: Combine Harvester

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...

Pioneer DV-600AV quality for good price

Advantages: High quality video, supports many formats
Disadvantages: Confusing labels on remote controller

...Pioneer DV-600AV was interesting for me because it has possibility to play DVD-Audio and SACD and it has got integrated decoder with analog output for 5.1. Extra interesting is the quality of sound which some DVD players are having bad quality. Quality of sound was pretty good with nice serve of acustic which i wasnt able to heat on my older players. I/O Back side includes HDMI, component Video, S-video, audio 5.1, scart, optic and koaxial output.On the front panel is placed conector USB 1.1 for USB devices. There should be more conectors, but on the other hand we shall be glad that none of the important connectors is missing. Extern USB devices are not supported as manufacturer has written. In the real it is working with no problems:) I tried from flash disk Kingston Data traveller II. It is possible to play mp3 with variate...

Philips SoundMachine AZ102N - The Soundmaster!

Advantages: Good quality chassis, good sound quality, does everything for the price, looks nice.

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 - 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...

Review of Philips RQ 1095 Arcitec

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...
