Really BIG lava lamp.

Advantages: Huge. Soothing. Good value.
Disadvantages: Takes forever to heat up.

...A lava lamp is, in principle, very simple. It consists of a lamp, which heats up a glass bulb filled with a waxy solid and a liquid. These cannot mix together and must have very similar densities. As the solid heats up, its density is lowered, so it rises. This cools it down and it then falls to the bottom of the lamp, creating a strangely soothing effect. In practice, making one yourself would involve messing about with expensive and perhaps flammable chemicals, so I wouldn't bother trying. It is much easier just to buy one yourself. The Giant Grande Lava Lamp comes in two colours yellow and blue or yellow and violet. It is truly enormous at 27" and is guaranteed to be a focal point in your room. It is not called "giant" and "grande" for nothing! My lamp is a yellow and blue model. Although the product description says "yellow...

Review of Giant Grande Lava Lamp

Sanyo PLC-SU20 A Good All-Rounder

Advantages: Very Robust, Well Constructed, Will Last A Lifetime!
Disadvantages: No lamp counter

...the first number, the higher the number, the newer the model. The last to be produced following this was the PLC-SU86, there are several projectors that don't follow this pattern, but as this review concerns second hand projectors, we'll leave it at this. I'd like to point out at this point that if you have a PLC-SU60 model that you aren't using, then this is one of the best projectors Sanyo ever made and is very rarely seen in the second hand market. If you have one, then they fetch a small fortune comparative to other projectors. Even new they are very hard to find. The projector has an estimated bulb life of 2,000 hours which is good. Many projectors of this age only had a life of 1000 hours which is half this. However the downside to this projector is that there is no lamp counter in the menu, so you can't keep track of the useage. This is...

Review of Sanyo PLC SU20

Quality projector, features for the user

Advantages: User friendly, Bright and good quality
Disadvantages: A recommended 3 metres from the screen or wall etc

...you can flip or rotate the picture to be the right way up, even if the image would normally be upside down). There are plenty of sockets and connectors. You can connect the standard data cable (or VGA - Visual Graphics Array) to your laptop from the projector. You get audio and video sockets, which can be used to connect your VCR, DVD, etc upto it to have your own home cinema. The audio quality is fantastic and because it is either at the front or above your head you get a strong quality from the projector. I have to say that Sanyo projector is quiet, well quieter than most projectors. You still get the fan noise, but isn't to bad. Overall I would recommend this projector not so much on cost, but the features and useability....

Review of Sanyo PLC XU48

Widescreen Stylish TV by Sanyo

Advantages: Widescreen, 3D Nicam stereo, well designed, price
Disadvantages: Sound quality could be better

...I recently had to buy a replacement television set and decided to upgrade from a traditional television ?square box? picture format to a widescreen model. Price was an important factor since my budget couldn?t stretch to a plasma or LCD screen. For £279 I managed to settle on a Nicam stereo 28? Widescreen television by Sanyo. This seemed to be a sensible compromise, trading off value and quality. I don?t really watch too much television to justify spending anything above a few hundred pounds. Rather than buy from a high street retailer, I searched the Internet and found a leading discount UK supplier: www.empiredirect.co.uk Over recent years the electronics market has become even more competitive than ever before, so it?s amazing how much little money will buy such a good deal. The Sanyo TV set replaced a Philips Nicam...

Sanyo DVD

Advantages: Exceptional sound quality, reasonable price, multifunctional
Disadvantages: none to date

...After a wide-screen t.v me and my partner were egar to complete our home entertainment by acquiring a 'DVD home theater system'. After our first buy failed we went for this model 'Sanyo DVD Home Theater System'. We purchased this product a little while ago now and so far I have no reason to complain about my buy. This product was of a high standard in it's packaging, along-side it's presentation with-in the shop which we purchased it from.

Review of Sanyo DC-TS760

Sanyo 28WN6B

Advantages: Stylish, good picture, price
Disadvantages: sound quality

...I was looking for my first widescreen television and, after a very poor experience with a Toshiba from Comet which eventually went back for a full refund, I settled on this television from Powerhouse. I am no expert and I had not got a lot of money to spend. My criteria were that it had to be 28" (because I did not fancy peering at a screen that was less tall than my old standard shape television) it had to be stereo, it had to be affordable (i.e., around £300) and, ideally, it had to sound good. The Sanyo came at the right price (though a stand was an extra £40) and, to my mind at least, looks very smart. It is not a flat screen, but it looks like one and only close up examination reveals that it is not. The way the television fits together with the stand is very pleasing visually and not difficult physically. I had to assemble...

Sanyo CG65 - A Jack of All Trades, Master of None!

Advantages: Excellent Form Factor, Fairly Decent Stills, Voice Guidance , Good Video In Good Lighting.
Disadvantages: Poor Quality in Low Light, Battery life Could be Better!

...clean camera, camera pouch, software cds and utilities, and a 780mah li-on sanyo battery which is supposedly good for around 60 minutes use. There is no viewfinder, so this is quoted with teh LCD screen on for framing shots. be aware there is only 18mb internal memory, but the camera supports SDHC memory cards currently up to 8gb in size, i stuck a 2gb transfllash into mine using an adaptor. The battery comes with its own external charger, or you can charge the camera throguh the dock. So I charged it, and then proceeded to my party. I wont bore you all with the goings on at the party, but upon returning I was eager to hook the sanyo up and test out what i'd snapped. To be honest - photographs were very good with adequate lighting, they were detailed and with relatively little digital noise in the image. Iso is also automatically...

Sanyo To Go

Advantages: Ease of Set up/Installation
Disadvantages: No Complaints

...This is my second review so should be gaining experience.. I bought this television 2 years ago from Littlewoods Home Shopping Limited for 249.99 pounds(does anybody know how i can get a pound symbol on my keyboard)..... Anyway this television when you first get it out of box and plug it in comes with what Sanyo describes as "Plug and Play".The first time you switch on the TV set, it will begin to search and store all available channels. Initial searching and storing of channels took about 3 minutes, i have heard that sometimes the tv can get the channel list a bit mixed up but in my case didnt get any errors although it gives you the option to resort the order of channels. This television comes with 2 scart sockets on the back of the set plus on the front of the set under the flap comes supplied with Phono-type A / V inputs...

Review of Sanyo 21DN5

Budget priced projector fits the bill

Advantages: Excellent value for money
Disadvantages: No fancy features

The lamp life is reasonable especially in eco mode which should easily cope with the use...

Review of NEC NP100

Sanyo Xacti E60 - Style and substance !

Advantages: Great image quality. 3 x Internal optical lens. Impressive 3 inch screen.
Disadvantages: Average and limited flash.

...The sanyo Xacti E60 is the successor to the popular E6 - but the few additional functions make this a useful and desirable ultra compact camera to own ! As with the E6 - the 3 inch screen and 3 x konica minolta non-protruding optical lens are excellent ! The menu system is simple to navigate, it takes SD cards and the movie mode is great quality (if not a little greedy on memory !). The ultra fast touch sensitive focus shutter is clever and the camera can talk you through various stages to get your perfect picture - yes it talks to you ! So what's new ? The E60 comes with 32mb of internal memory (opposed to 16mb) and sports a simple grip on the front of the camera. Image stabilization has been included in the movie mode and red --eye correction software is provided in the menu options. All very useful if not major...
