Samsung SU 2900

Advantages: Lightweight - Powerful Suction - Pet Hair Removal
Disadvantages: None so far.

...Having just replaced my hoover vacuum, see previous review, due to product failure. I chose the Samsung SU 2900 range, knowing and trusting Samsung products in the past, I felt there was nothing to loose and all to gain. This machine is lightweight, easy to use, all the accesories work as they should do, including the pet hair turbo brush, which failed on the Hoover machine. The 1800w motor is more than adequate. The machine seems to glide around, living up to its name the jetpropel light. It is easy on your back and arms, making short work of cleaning all types of flooring, from hard floors, to the thickest pile carpet. The height of the cleaning head is easily adjustable by a dial on the front of the machine. Hepa filtration with no loss of suction is standard, removing even the finest grains of dust and not throwing...

FREE DVDs

Advantages: Free trial, large choice, post included,new realeases
Disadvantages: see review

...I like movies and I like freebies, so when you get offered both in one swoop you?re bound to accept! I used my two week free trial with this company and remained with them for a couple of monthsbefore moving on to try many other companies free trials (and winning a new DVD player on Tesco DVD rental site on their free trial offer). I then had an email from DVDs 365 asking me to go back, and offering me a free DVD if I did so. I had just left Tesco (with my new DVD player) so I chose to go back with them. ∆◊◊ THE SERVICE THEY OFFER ∆◊◊ Basically it?s like going to a video shop and hiring films on DVD, except you don?t pay for each film you chose ? rather a monthly fee for which you can watch as many movies as you can fit in, for us this is usually around 8 a month (2 a week usually weekends...

Surprising Picture Quality - Panasonic DVD-S54

Advantages: Incredible picture quality when compared to my old non-upscaling player with a scart lead
Disadvantages: Sometimes disc drive can be really noisy when DVD's initially load.

...At first I wasn't convinced by up-scaling DVD player technology but was persuaded after reading an article in "What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision" magazine. Unable to afford a Blu-Ray player my sister and I bought the Panasonic DVD-S54 to match our parents brand new Panasonic TX-32LZD80 LCD television as their Christmas 2008 present. Admittedly it was a slightly selfish purchase as we both live at home and wanted to watch DVDs on the big new TV ourselves! We bought the player from the electrical retailer Comet for about £100 just before Christmas so there were no discounts applied. On Christmas day when opened we found a relatively small box tightly packed with the player in polystyrene packaging. All the components such as cables, remote and manuals were well presented in their own protective plastic bags, to keep them protected. The player...

Sanyo PLC-SU20 A Good All-Rounder

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

...Sanyo PLC-SU20 The Sanyo PLC-SU20 multimedia projector is one of the best projectors in the world. Immediately, you are now going to be wondering why?!?!?! It's bulky, it's not very aesthetically appealing and it's hardly the best spec. in the world. But this is such a reliable projector! I have owned several of these projector and not one has let me down. They just seem to go and go without fault. The projector's are very robustly made as it has been designed for portability. The projector has a very handy fold out handle. This is very strong so you have no worries about it breakig after continuous use, When it's not in use, the handle folds away and sits flush with the side of the projector and is hardly noticeable. This is one of Sanyo's earliest portable projectors. You can understand Sanyo's ranges quite easily. Every...

Mi Casa Su Casa - terribly managed guesthouse in Meville, JNB

Advantages: good location, nice asthetics
Disadvantages: terrible management

...home at midnight only to find our parking spot had been given to another guest because of which we were made to schlep our belongings and selves to another guesthouse location (no less, at 1 AM!). And four, we were promised a better rate for our troubles but were fully charged in advance of our actual stay and then perpetually evaded by the owner when asked about this. We are avid travelers, and for the most part have had delightful expereinces in South Africa. Our expereince with MiCasaSuCasa, however, urges me to warn other travelers from staying at this 'establishment'. There are numerous charming hotels and B&B's in the Melville area, any one of which will undoubtedly provide a better experience....

SuSE Linux personal Edition version 8.2

Advantages: One of the best mainstream Linux Distros to get
Disadvantages: Not very good if you are not familiar with the KDE and linux Operating Environments

...SuSE Linux 8.2 ? Personal Edition How I Became a Linux Fan??.well, who wouldn?t? I decided to change over to Linux after hearing great of the great stability, reliability and what other people had said about it. I read reviews, guides and opinions on just about every distribution of Linux that I could find. I had almost given up my search, thinking about how much I don?t like windows and its annoying blockish feel to the whole GUI, I still kept searching and decided to go for one of the mainstream Linux distributions. I found that one of the best ones to get apparently was SuSE Linux 8.2, not 9 or 9.1 since they are not as good and host less features than 8.2. I decided that I would but it, although you can get it totally free of any of their mirror ftp sites that host and you only have to pay for your connection charge...

Suing Me, Suing You

Advantages: (see text of op)
Disadvantages: (see text of op)

...The name of this website, Moneyclaim Online, suggests a dodgy accident compensation service, like Claims Direct and all the other legal vultures who are pushing up our insurance premiums. But Moneyclaim.gov.uk is actually a website produced by our own wonderful government. To be more specific this website is run by the Court Service of England and Wales, the people who do such a fine job of punishing all the baddies out there. I stumbled upon Moneyclaim Online earlier this year when I was planning to sue Wilcon Homes over the faulty boiler in my house (that's a whole story in itself which you can read more about in my "buyer beware" op about newly-built houses). I have sued a few people in the past; most notably NTL when they used to be called Cable & Wireless, and a dealer who sold me a car which I later found out was...

FREE DVDS

Advantages: up to date dvds, four weeks free hire with 3 dvds at a time,
Disadvantages: see review

...My recent quest for FREE DVD hire I visited and many DVD web sites that offered a free trial. Now call me tight (no that wasn?t an invite), but I like bargains and freebies and am not ashamed to say so. My quest took me to enough sites to hire DVDs for about four months so far (with plenty to come too). My latest free DVD site also happens to be the best I have tried for several reasons (see rest of op); the site in question is Blockbuster.co.uk. Other sites that I have had free rentals from and then cancelled have all been similar, two weeks free trial with two DVD?s per time ? which in effect gives you about four free DVD?s. With Blockbuster?s things are different slightly ? which add a great deal of benefit to us the customer. Firstly, you get FOUR whole weeks free rental, which equates to at double the length of time most...
