Suck your air out and triple the storage

Advantages: Storage problems solved easily
Disadvantages: None!

...plastic gizmo which you run along the upper edge of the bag so pressing together the zipper type closure to make an airtight seal. This done you then insert the nozzle of your vacuum cleaner into the special one way valve and literally suck the air out. The bag compresses around the contents as the air is removed and flattens the whole package into an easily stored and transportable slab. It was quite amazing just how small a parcel my pile of clobber became! The whole process was quick and easy thanks to clear instructions on the box. JML state that the bags will compress your clothing and other textiles in seconds giving 300% more storage space in cupboards, drawers and wardrobes. The bags also protect against damp, dust, dirt and bugs. They are made for JML in China and are re-usable and recyclable. They are suitable for most...

Review of Vacuum Storage Bags

Vaccum Storage Bags

Advantages: Space Saving Ideas for Home and Abroad
Disadvantages: None I can think of

...I love this idea, whoever thought this up is a genius. A lot of families have storage problems my main pain in the backside is lack of room for excess bedding that i keep spare for guests and what not, So this is magnificent, how the air can be sucked out of the bag with any pipe vacuum cleaner and reduce the size of package to less than a quarter of the size. Brilliant for duvets and pillows i might add and to top it all off it keeps all those bugs away and when you do unpack them they smell as good as the day you washed them and put the items in there. Excellent I would rate these to anybody you can even use them for going abroad and storing your much loved items and reducing space which we all know must happen when traveling on a plane think of the goodies you can bring back !! Although I have never tries them in my suitcase while...

A Box with No End ...

Advantages: Lennard Pearce as Grandad, & Classic Episodes
Disadvantages: Not all the Best & Special Episodes, No Extras

...? --------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------- The First Series 1 to 7 Box Set is stuffed with over 50 different episodes listed below. The great thing about this Box Set is that there is no particular order you must follow. There is a vast range of story lines for you to follow which do not overlap with episodes. You could start in reverse order and I guarantee unlike other programmes, you will fully understand from scene to scene without having a specific order to follow. This will allow you and others to view episodes individually at your own choice and leisure. Here you have an almost complete package of Classic British Comedy for both teenagers and adults. The only thing missing is that it does not feature each & every episode ever made for BBC Television. But the Box Set is a great introduction to those who have unfortunately not as of yet discovered 'Only Fools & Horses' as...

The Box of Delights

Advantages: Provides lots of additional outdoor storage space, maintenance free, easy to assemble
Disadvantages: Doesn't look very attractive

...It's a bit of a surprise to find myself writing a review about an outdoor plastic storage unit - mainly because I was so adamant that I didn't want to purchase one of these things in the first place. A couple of years ago now, we finally got around to putting up a traditional wooden shed at the very top of the garden. My other half was not content with that though and was insistent that we also needed one of these plastic storage units, manufactured by Keter, to save us having to troop up to the top of the garden every time we needed to get our son's bike out or needed tools for something or other. My main objection to buying one of these giant plastic boxes was just the aesthetics. Another house on our road has one of these sitting out on the front and it looks horrible - I certainly wouldn't recommend placing one of these in front...

Boxing News

Advantages: Quality, Easy To read, Likable
Disadvantages: Short, Price, Formulaic

...If Ring magazine is the world champion of boxing magazine it's big European rival is British based Boxing News that is now celebrating it's 100th year in production. It's currently a weekly magazine (though it's a registered paper) priced at £2.80 and released on a Friday ever week. Although the history of how it's become what it is, is an interesting story that saw one of my personal hero's Harry Mullan become it's editor for quite some time before his very untimely death, this review will stick to what the magazine currently is. It's currently almost full of regular features, like most magazines and it's opening article titled ?Fighting Talk? is written by current editor Claude Abrams and although not always a fan of his views an opinions it's often a well written piece to open the magazine. It's almost certainly based on just...

Review of Boxing News

My grandchildrens toys are stored in these.

Advantages: easy to clean . safe
Disadvantages: plastic

...I have been trying to organise the small bedroom that the grandchildren use at my house. I bought a pine multi unit system from Argos, I needed to buy some storage boxes to put their toys and clutter in that would slide into this unit. Now I did not really want plastic boxes ?.. But they were the most practical. I bought a pack of 6 Pack of 6, 32 Litre Stack 'n' Nest Boxes. This pack costs £7.99 that's a fair price for 6 boxes to store the grand children's toys in. These boxes are made out of plastic 3 red and 3 blue boxes in the set, that's good Adrian has the red ones Cassie the blue. Now I did not really want plastic boxes ?.. . I would have liked grass cane or rush. The plastic ones are more practical cheaper than cane grass or rush. I think that plastic is better for storing children's toys. There are no rough edges. They are...

Useful, cheap storage for CCGs

Advantages: See Review
Disadvantages: May eventually show signs of wear

...Ultra Pro Deck Boxes: Ultra Pro Deck Boxes are a very useful item for storing cards from Collectable Card Games, (CCGs), like Magic the Gathering, Yu-Gi-Oh, World of Warcraft etc. Some of the cards can be insanely expensive so if you are a collector you need a good place to store your cards out of harms reach and the Deck Boxes do just that. Made by Ultra Pro who, in my opinion, make the finest card storage solutions, the Deck Boxes are made from very sturdy plastic. They are almost riveted together using heat to make very strong bonds that really seem to be able to take all the knocks, bangs and repeated use. The boxes have a flip up lid that completely seals using incredibly strong Velcro pads. I have had one of my Deck Boxes around five years now and the Velcro has not come unstuck from the box and all the joins are as good as they...

Storage For The Masses

Advantages: A decent capacity, pretty cheap, vertically mounted
Disadvantages: Not really all that portable, can be a bit noisy for a bedroom, it's grey!

...after a short period where Buggy (aka 'her indoors') couldn't find any files on my PC it was decided that external hard drives were going to be bought. The reasoning was that if for any reason the network decided to fall over (as had happened recently) then at least the drives could be unplugged and then popped into another machine if needs be. After a quick trip to PC World I came back with the Maxtor 3200 320Gb after parting with 70 portraits of the Queen. Now those of you who want a sleek looking box that you can admire, you're going to be disappointed. It's got pretty understated packaging. It's basically a brown cardboard box with a little sleeve on it that tells you what's in the box (the drive, the USB 2.0 cable, a stand and the power supply) and that's it. Thankfully the unit is a bit better. It's about the size of an A5...

A game for those who think outside the box!

Advantages: Gameplay, Duration, Puzzles, Storyline
Disadvantages: Graphics, Length of Cut-scenes

...Professor Layton and Pandora's Box is an excellent game utilizing the Nintendo DS's features to their full extent. Although I only briefly played the prequel to this game, "Professor Layton and the Curious Village" my initial thoughts on both game gave me a verdict that this game had greater complexity and although the storyline did at points relate back to the previous game, gave a starting point for new gamers who didn't own/use the previous title. The game is obviously, if you have seen trailers or know the genre, a puzzle game, as you hear this you would probably immediately assume a few things that would have been compromised in, these being the graphics and storyline. Firstly, the graphics aren't the best you will have ever seen in a game, however it doesn't rely on graphics so this is why the quality lacks slightly. Secondly is...

  God In A Box

Advantages: Can almost take over from your PC
Disadvantages: power brick, noise

...minimum) • Standard definition and high-definition video output is supported Well pretty much what the steve's at Microsoft have done is shrunk an extremely high end PC into a box that can fit neatly into any existing set up. Each piece of hardware just about is custom made for the Xbox which is where it differs from the Playstation 3 but that's another story. It is essentially a customised IBM Power PC which boasts an unbelievable 3 x 3.2GHz all three offering 2 hard ware threads, which to compare for you, my PC has just one 2.4GHz processor, so lets say its around 5 times more powerful than the average PC & its strictly dedicated to gaming and media while the ATI graphics processor can produce a massiv 500 million triangles per second. I could go on, recounting the 360's supposed 16 gigasamples-per-second fill rate using 4X...
