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

Advantages: brilliant songs, very origonal, very load
Disadvantages: none come to mind

...It’s no secret that rock music isn’t as popular as it used to be, but for those who are into rock have never had it better. Over the past few years’ rock in general has had a bit of a revival with the likes of Marilyn Manson and Limp Bizkit giving the style some much needed media coverage (even if they are not the best examples of the music form, in my opinion). This new rock, labelled “nu-metal”, why I have no idea, maybe the journalist who came up with it made a typo and it just stuck or something as it is stupid, any way no side tracking… This opinion is not about Marilyn Manson or Limp Bizkit… it is about System of a Down. Okay, if you are not really into rock music then you won’t know them; they are not very likely to get into the charts as their music wont appeal to the masses. However their music is nothing short...

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: none

...If you are looking for an ultra quiet, stable and very efficient processor cooling system that's the one for you. Installation At first have to admit that I have good computers knowledge but it was first time ever in my life to install cooler. Thus instruction was extremely helpful for me. Everything in there has been clearly marked and shown. When switched on computer, did not want to work. Forgot to connect it  Newer mind. Silly mistake but when have done it and started my computer up was not sure if it is working. Simply could not hear anything. When checked - was on and doing great job. I was impressed. Silence Arctic Ultra Silent fan is moving on high quality Ceramic bearing. Trust me or not, had many computers in my life and in my hands but this cooler is seriously well made and designed. Thanks... Read review

Advantages: Nice and close
Disadvantages: Where to buy the sachets.

...Well I needed a new electric shaver, I do prefer wet shaving but with one thing and another it is not practical. Been using a Remington shaver for a few years, it was ok, but needed new heads, and at nearly £30.00 I thought I would go looking for a new shaver. I was taken by the Phillips Cool Skin range, which allow the user to use wet or dry, with the added bonus of a built in Moisturising shaving system. I opted for the HQ7782 the top of the range coolskin shaver. Its cordless with a charger base that plugs into your shaver socket in the bathroom. It has a handy LCD display to show how much battery is left and when to charge. Its also easy to clean, after each shave wash it under the hot tap for about 30secs, and its clean, they recommend once a week to clean the heads off with the supplied brush. The thing Iike...

Advantages: Trendy packaging does what it is supposed to.
Disadvantages: May not suit very sensitive skin?

...Breathe in. Hold it… Hold it… Hold it… You can't go very long without oxygen. About a year ago I was working as a temp. One of my assignments took me to the Lancaster beauty counter. This is where my story begins. It was a little after the launch of the Re-oxygen range so there were quite a few of the products on our selves. RE-OXYGEN I won't go into detail on the hype or the "science bit", but basically beauty products containing oxygen molecules are supposed to help your skin protect itself against the sort of nastiness that city life involves… Think "grime of the Northern line + air-conditioning system in the office + alcohol + hectic lifestyle + wind and elements = dull and tired skin". A number of companies have been launching oxygen ranges and they tend to be quite expensive. From what I understand from speaking... Read review

Advantages: Saves wondering downstairs to wait for the kettle to boil
Disadvantages: noisy, doesn't seem to heat some bottles up properly

...that the bottle must be periodically checked for temperature are correct as the heating time depends not only on how much is in them but also what bottle it is. At the moment we are using 9oz wide neck bottles filled with 5oz of milk. These take about 10 - 12 minutes to warm through, which isn't really great as the warmer automatically turns its self off after 7 minutes. But the standard 5oz bottles with 4oz of milk do take about 6 minutes. Of course heating a bottle over 7 minutes requires the warmer to be turned on again and although your bottle may only take a few more minutes the steam and noise are still present for the full 7 minutes. The above is only to be used as a guide...... The system also comes with a bottle cooler, plastic ice bottle and a small container that has two sections with lids to store the water needed to add...
