Top of the tables - ten out of ten
Review of Garlando G500 Football Table by
SimonM
Advantages: Smooth rod action, Strong, Good finish, Professional Standard Football Table
Disadvantages: Tricky to level on an unlevel floor
...playing area.
We've had several home tournaments with many hyper players, and my daughters now play (especially if there is a cash prize for the winner) and are gradually exceeding my playing ability - I can't guarantee winning now. The table comes with 10 balls, but you only need one to play a game with, since there is a goal return chute and scoring racks at each end.
The top is uncovered, so occasionally balls can fly out of the pitch, and the rods and pitch gather some dust. A dusting and a squirt of silicone spray is all the maintenance it needs.
I've had the table for a year now and I'm still over the moon with my toy, and it is still a dream to play on.

The god of Fridge-Freezers!
Review of Zanussi-Electrolux ZNB323W by
yummy.mummy
Advantages: Lots of space and great functions
Disadvantages: Only comes in white -more cleaning!
...Last month our fridge freezer decided to pack up on us - it had worked hard for us and despite all our attempts to revive it, it gave in at last. This was a real nightmare for us, as we are a family of three with a young child, and a fridge freezer is essential for us on a day to day basis. We can't really function without one.
Whilst we were waiting to buy a new freezer my parents in law loaned us an old fridge freezer from their garage to get buy. The fun then started trying to buy a new fridge freezer with good specifications and a price that was within reason for our budget. So started the comparison tables.
What we needed
We needed a fridge freezer that had large compartment space in both -we didn't want a fridge-freezer combi where you only had one or two shelves for the freezer. We also wanted a large fridge...

The best freezer I have ever had
Review of Beko CS 460 FF Combi Fridge Freezer by
wednesdaygirl
Advantages: Plenty of room. No defrosting
Disadvantages: Very large
...and was 11 cu.ft. The freezer compartment at the bottom had four extremely large drawers whilst the fridge on top had two salad compartments and three shelves which could be moved into different positions. One of the shelves also had a removable portion so you could stand large items up if necessary. The door itself had a bottom compartment for milk etc plus 6 other compartments for butter, eggs etc.
The fridge freezer is in energy efficiency class C and has an energy consumptions of 493 kwh/year so is quite economical to use. It has a conservation time of 11 hours in cause of failure and to put the icing on the cake is Frost Free. This is brilliant - you can't imagine what a relief it is to never have to defrost the freezer. I also managed to buy the item on 9 months interest free credit.
I have now had this fridge/freezer for about...

I am a Firdge Freezer
Review of Samsung SR-L3616B Fridge Freezer by
Champ666
Advantages: It is a Fridge and a Freezer
Disadvantages: I could do with a bigger freezer
...My oh so wonderfull landlord has just bought me one of these things cause the old fridge had blown up and it has a freezer too, thank you Mr Landlord.
I have only had this baby for a week and I am in love, I was that excited about having my own freezer that I ran out a bought a ice cube tray thingy only to find out that it had one in the top drawer of the freezer compartment, which seems to be the only usefull thing you can put in the top drawer.
There are three compartments in the freezer of the same size and most frozen products will fit niceley in them apart from frozen pizzas which have to be stuck in at a jaunty angle. You can also fit packets of square sausage in them as well, quite nicely.
There is quite a lot of storage spage enough to last me for over amonth in the freezer alone. Those of you with families may need...

Truely Tremendous Table!
Review of Tomy Multi-Activity Table by
VickyVickster
Advantages: grows with your child, fun, interactive, no batteries
Disadvantages: nothing really worth highlighting!
...It was over a year ago now when hubby and I were looking into getting some toys for our more and more active toddler (she was about 15 months old at the time) when we found what has turned out to be the biggest bargain ever in Argos. The Tomy activity table. We bought it for £5.99 reduced from £19.99.
Well I went and picked up the big box and brought it home. Taking the pieces out it was obvious how it all fitted together. Two large chucky capital I shaped legs slip into grips on the underside of the chunky lime green top.(around 12 inches by 8 inches) On top of the table top is a darker green lid which makes the table useable as a table for doing activities on/eating snacks off etc but under this lid are the activities.
My little Beth was instantly impressed with all the activities to play with. She stood up for ages at a time...

Life In The Freezer - David Attenborough
Review of Life In The Freezer DVD by
ivytoad
Advantages: So interesting, fun to watch, educational
Disadvantages: I want more episodes!!
...so pure and beautiful just because the places filmed seem so untouched by human society. This dvd shows how beautiful this place is, but also how harsh it can be. I especially like all the information about penguins, since they are one of my favourite animals!
I really like the music that accompanies the series. It is quite powerful orchestral music that fits in so well with the atmosphere of the series. I think it is chosen perfectly.
The dvd comes in a cardboard sleeve. On the front of the cardboard sleeve 'Life In The Freezer' is written in large white letters at the top, and at the bottom 'David Attenborough' is written in yellow letters. In the middle there is a lovely picture of two penguins against a beautiful blue sky, this is the same picture that is printed on the front of the dvd disc.
David Attenborough not only...

IRRESIS-TABLE
Review of Fisher Price Spinning Tunes Activity Table by
mysteryshopper2
Advantages: Brightly colored with lots of activities, holds babies attention, Reasonably priced, high quality
Disadvantages: needs to be more stationary, sometimes it slides, requires adult supervision if you have a climber
...Recently I had noticed Christopher was becoming bored with his rattles and other baby toys, so I decided he was ready for some “big boys” toys. I started browsing the Internet and discovered the Fisher Price Spinning Tunes Activity Table. It looked like it had lots of fun activities to keep him busy: bright colours, loud squeaks, moving parts! What baby could resist? I have been impressed with our other Fisher Price toys, so at the reasonable price of £29.74 I decided to buy it.
I brought it home and Christopher absolutely loved it. As soon as I set it up, he started pushing buttons and stacking the blocks!
~ Description & Assembly ~
The Fisher Price Activity Table is proven to be an excellent educational toy. Made of sturdy hard plastic, it is a very colourful, fun developmental toy, which offers toddlers plenty...

Your little tike can sit at this table.
Review of Little Tikes Easy Store Picnic Table Large by
mumsymary
Advantages: size
Disadvantages: none
...Little Tikes make a lot of plastic outdoor equipment for children. I have seen and used this large table at several child care situations.
Little Tikes make robust equipment. This table is suitable for playgroup or nursery. It is also suitable for home use.
The table and fixed benches either side are well contoured and smooth no rough edges.
The little tikes table top is yellow the seats blue the legs and fitting for the table to seats is blue. The colours are bright primary colours which will eventually fade of course especially if left out doors. I just noticed there is an alternative colour yellow table dark green legs and lighter green seat.
The colours in the picture may be available but it may be an eatrlier coulouring as I can not find this one on lione , think I have sat and played at a grey table top in the past...
