Advantages: Convenience, comfort
Disadvantages: Still difficult to get as close as a wet shave but comes a VERY close second

...First things first, this is simply the best electric razor I have ever used. But how does this compare to other models on the market and would it convert the "wet" shaver. I myself have owned electric razors previously, mainly for the convenience factor but often felt let down by the quality of the shave and the discomfort of almost tearing at the skin. The PhilipsMoisture Razor is extremely comfortable as it dispenses moisturising gel as you shave. This elinminates the need for shaving gel/cream and means it can be used in the shower - a great time saver. Minor negative points are I felt itquite difficult to get a close shave around the neck area. Also there have been issues in being able to but replacement gel for the system which makes it redundant. I was previously a "wet shaver, using Gillette Fusion and although I do go back to my... Read review

Advantages: Looks really nice, cools the hard drive by few degrees, easy to use
Disadvantages: None really

...In the world of pc modding and enthusiasts, there is a lot of choice and variety out there for people wishing to have the most powerful, stylish and unique computers. The market seems bigger then ever for PC modifications and such, with the gaining popularity of overclocking* (adjusting the processor* chip for example, so that it runs faster then recommended) meaning there is an increase in demand for better fans and cooling-accessories. The Cool Drive 4 is an enclosure for hard-drives, with a fan fitted inside it to keep cool the drive, and to reduce noise vibrations which the hard-drive would usually emit. It also has a feature of being able to monitor various over system temperatures, the processor*, graphics card*, PC case, and of course the hard drive. It does this thanks to 4 temperature probes, which you can place around... Read review

Advantages: Cheap, Efficient and Good for the Environment
Disadvantages: Expensive to Install

...Smart Energy Solar Water Heating System, With the government promoting more and more ECO friendly homes throughout the UK, it makes sense that we should all start with new homes and install more solar, energy friendly products, and where best to start, which is on heating systems. Research is currently underway which is investigating the linking of absorption chillers with solar panels as a source of generator heat. It is an advantage that the appearance of large amounts of cost and pollution free solar energy coincides with the need for cooling. One method in production from solar energy into a heating system is "the water to air reserve cycle heat pumps" - these are another heat pump system like normal electrical or gas systems but these give the opportunity for efficient operation through heat recovery all sourced from Solar...

Advantages: Cheap, small, robust, it does work
Disadvantages: Tacky looking, outdated

...earlier, there were a whopping 31 pages. The first page, an introduction where I learnt my Cool-iCam was not only a digital camera but also a web cam and even capable of recording video clips. The next page was a table of contents, listing the page number for each issue, therefore allowing you do direct to the issue that you were interested in rather than having to read it all in one go. The table of contents covered: System requirements, package content, getting to know the Cool-iCam, getting started, customer support, troubleshooting, battery guidance, technical specifications and the FCC notice (to be honest having read the latter I was still none the wiser but presumed it's inclusion was a legality of some sort). Anyway, by the time I'd read briefly through the manual I was home, and able to get started. First thing... Read review

Advantages: More hot water than you know what to do with!
Disadvantages: Very complex controls.

...to transfer the heat as soon as possible. Two of the four panels are always facing the sun - and if the heat is not taken out of the collectors they get too hot, forcing the system to shut down until they cool which obviously only happens when the sun goes away, ie at dusk. The switch for the pump is located where it could easily be mistaken for a light switch. I assume that our builder mistakenly pressed a button he shouldn't have on the way down from the attic, but am not sure that's what happened. It might be an idea to fit a cover so nobody accidentally "fiddles"! We are pretty happy with our Smart Energy system. It will take many years to pay for itself but we feel that by using this technology we are making our small contribution to saving the planet. I note in passing that Smart Energy have not sent any potential customers to visit us... Read review
