Earlex SC165 Combisteam Cleaning Kit

Advantages: Inexpensive and saves a lot of otherwise hard work.
Disadvantages: Overfill .....and boiling water may squirt or spill out when moving around.

...I remember my mum having an Earlex steam cleaner, but not as exstensive as this one, that one only had a few parts, the part I remember most was the wallpaper stripper because there was always a family member or friend who wanted to borrow it , that's how popular it was! The Earlex SC165 Combi has many more parts, 8 to be precise, I've owned my a steamer for about 5 years now and have used it extensively indoors and outdoors and to be honest I would be lost without it as it saves a lot of hard work making cleaning a lot easier. Steam is a natural cleaner which loosens dirt and grease making cleaning a lot easier minimising or even eliminating the use of chemicals found in household cleaners. This steamer is designed to clean carpets, flooring, windows and tiling ect.................. First of all the boiler has a 4.5 litre...

Dell Poweredge SC1425

Advantages: Thin, not too heavy, reliable
Disadvantages: Manufacturer support not great

...First off, I ought to qualify this review by telling you a little about how much I've done and messed about with the Poweredge SC1425 servers. My company bought eight of them around a year ago, and since then, I've been solely responsible for integrating them into our infrastructure ("sticking them in the server room" for those now looking blankly at the screen). In so doing, these servers have therefore been taken apart, put back together, had various operating systems installed on that, have been racked up, unracked, moved around various physical locations, had upgrades and all manner of other things done to them- so in short, hopefully I'm well qualified to make more than a passing judgement about them. First things first. Take the server out of the box and what do you get... a thin (1U, which is roughly a couple of inches in...

SC-ZT1 wireless connectivity is poor

Advantages: Easy to set up
Disadvantages: Wireless link to speakers very poor and affected by almost everything in the room

...I have just returned the SC-ZT1 I bought recently because the wireless performance and design is extremely poor. This is proved by the user manual which states that the amplifier/transmitter unit must not have anything directly above or below it, any Wifi device within 3 metres, must be at least 50cm above the floor, and must be in direct line of sight of the speakers. These restrictions are totally impractical and make it impossible to get a good wireless connection in a realistic living room. I spent two weeks moving equipment and furniture and the speakers ended up in a position where I might as well have used traditional wired speakers. You cannot find out about this major design fault until you try to use it because no one else has written a review. You would expect something at that high price to be brilliant, but it is far...

Swan SC2002

Advantages: Light; powerful; easy to carry; works well on all surfaces
Disadvantages: Pipe and brush head a bit flimsy

...I wish I could find another one of these. I bought one about 5 years ago and it is the most powerful and handy little cleaner I have ever had. (And I\'ve had quite a few in my search, I can tell you.) The only thing I didn\'t find comfortable was the pipe and brush head, which I quite easily exchanged with my old hoover. My helper has just cleaned our neighbour\'s house with this little Swan and she has a white cat, red carpet, a loft extention and lots of stairs. When she came home she said she\'s never seen it looking so good and her precious Dyson is on its way out and she is on the search for a Swan Sc2002. OK it\'s not built to clean mansions, but it is most excellent for stairs. It is light, powerful and easy to use. Another advantage is that you can get disposable bags or stick with the two washable ones which come with it...

Samsung SC6550. Bagless Vacuum Cleaner

Advantages: Light, Easy to Store, Stylish and good for homes with pets
Disadvantages: None

...Samsung SC-6550. Advantages Easy Storing I bought this vacuum cleaner soon after I got a dog just over a year ago.. My old vacuum was completely incapable of coping with the white dog hairs that seemed to get absolutely everywhere. I was thrilled when I got it as it is very quiet and the dog hairs seemed to be picked up like magic. Unfortunately I had only had it for a few weeks when there was a burning smell and the motor packed up. There was no quibble from the store about changing it, so within a couple of days I had the a new vacuum, the same model. Since them I have used this vacuum every day and it is really working well. The dog hairs are picked up easily and because it is quiet I can use the appliance in the early morning when people are still in bed, or late at night if I want too. I find the vacuum light and easy...

Scan Sc2000

Advantages: Value,quality,multiregion
Disadvantages: Subtitles bug

...I recently bought a Scan SC2000 DVD player from Scan for £189 ? it arrived next day as promised and was easily set up straight from the box with no problems ? all a good start! The cables they supplied were a Svideo and an ariel which can get you started straight away but if you want an RGB connection you will have to buy a Scart cable. Macrovision was easily overridden by using a simple remote hack kindly written in the user manual. Picture quality was quite good with nice colours and no signs of artifacting ? some people have reported that the picture is poor and there is lots of artifacting! Sound was clear and crisp (I connected it surround sound through my stereo amp).The remote control was a breeze to use with all the needed buttons gathered together in the middle so that it is easy to operate even in the dark. I tested it...

T Bone SC300 *This is not a shure mic*

Advantages: Very Cheap, Low self noise, reasonable tone
Disadvantages: Not many for the price.

...To start with, this has been listed incorrectly. It is not a Shure mic, it's part of the T.Bone range by Thomman. Price: £20 Microphone Type: Back-Electret Fequency Range: 40Hz-18kHz Polar Pattern: Super Cardioid Link: http://www.thomann.de/thoiw2thetbonesc300prodinfo.html Comes with foam padded plastic case and mic stand holder as pictured. To start with, if you're looking to record but you're on a tight budget. This mic is great. Most cheap dynamic mics cost around about this. And for general recording, this far surpasses them. In case anyone isn't familiar with back-electret microphones, I'll very quickly explain about them (but not the technicalities of how they work. For a description of how most microphones work internally please see http://www.band-101.net/mic1.html ) They work in a similar fashion to condenser...

PANASONIC SC-PM10: SOUND-MAKER EXTRAORDINAIRE

Advantages: Price/Quality/Compact
Disadvantages: Few and far between, well none yet.

...---Overview--- With so many brands and so many micro Hi-Fi's for each brand I decided to take a bit of gamble and choose one on the almost absolute recommendation of the sales advisor in Comet. Panasonic, one of my most trusted brands was to provide me with my next Micro Hi-Fi the SC-PM10. Similar in size to any micro Hi-Fi today it came with the trendy minimalist look and shiny metalic front and modest LCD screen. ---Price--- Although you can get many micro Hi-Fi systems for around £100 I was quite pleased to be able to get this particular brand at £109.99. Satisfied in the reliability of the Panasonic brand, I felt I had got a decent machine at a very affordable price and which had some more advanced features (CD rewriter) to keep me going unitl I needed to upgrade to something more with the times. ---Quality...
