Advantages: Works as well as leading brands, cheaper
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sainsbury's Cleanhome ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sainsbury's have brought out a new range of products that deliver great cleaning performance but are also kinder to the environment. I'm a bit of a spend thrift so was looking through the Sainsbury's aisles for some cheap dishwasher tablets. I had run out and didn't want to buy a lot of tablets until I was able to go and buy some tablets at wholesale prices. I noticed this at the top of the shelf because it was on offer. 25 tablets for £1.99, saving a 1/3 off the normal price. At 8p a tablet, how could I resist? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Packaging & the tablets ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The contents come in a cardboard box. Indeed a box that looks like it has already been recycled. The box itself is blue with an outline of a house in what looks like grass... Read review

Advantages: speed, has speakers, compact, solidly built, good battery life, USB ports
Disadvantages: keypad, no power brightness ratio

...You may well be wondering what this little device is I wasn’t entirely sure when I first saw it but my husband soon explained all. Basically it is a half notebook half PDA style device which is perfect for busy people who are always on the move. I think it’s probably clearer if I break my review down to cover each aspect of this product separately because there is quite a lot to mention about each feature and hopefully this way it will be more useful to you. >>>THE SCREEN<<< The tablet screen is a defining feature of the HP Compaq Tablet and essentially it is this feature which separates this product from every notebook on the market and there is a clear distinction between cheaper alternatives and this sturdy piece of technology. The screen is 10.4 inches adopting the appearance of a digital book, when in portrait mode... Read review

Advantages: much better than taking liquid medicine
Disadvantages: pricy

...Having recently been struck down with flu (insert sympathy here) I felt i needed to take something to alleviate the symptons, although my dad insists that its better ti let it take its course, i was feeling too rubbish to do anything at all so i needed to take something - anything! to make it abit better. Im all too aware that antibiotics can be bad for you if you take them too much and being an asthmatic, my fluey symptoms turned into a chest infection. So i dragged myself to boots after taking 2 packets of beechams cold and flue capsules (in vain). I was all prepared so subject myself to the horror that is liquid expectorant when i spied beechams all in one tablets, promising to break down my phelgm (niiiice) and relieve my chest cough. AND they were on special offer, half price in boots, woo hoo! I didnt need any more convincing... Read review

Advantages: Excellent for sleeping problems, Not addictive
Disadvantages: Not for major sleeping disorders

...I have read through most of the Phenergan opinions on this site and was very surprised to see that no one has written about the "Phenergan Night Time Tablets". Several months ago I had a very severe pain on the right hand side of my body around the top of my leg. The pain was most severe in the night and I used to have great difficulty in sleeping. As you may be aware from some of my previous opinions I travel to West Africa a lot and one of my trips I picked up some Diazepam Tablets 5mg from one of my friends pharmacies. These tablets are basically the generic form of Valium. Although I hardly ever used to use these tablets I am one person who always like to keep a stock of everything for any sort of emergency because you never know when you might need it. When I started experiencing these pains my first thought... Read review

Advantages: Saves you time, free sample pack from website
Disadvantages: Fairly expensive

...In life there are certain chores that most* people hate, and clothes washing has to be up there with the worst. For me it is the whole process - from separation of the colours to loading the machine, to waiting for the cycle to finish to hanging the clothes up to dry…and don’t even get me started on ironing!! So when I heard there was a new style washing detergent tablet that makes washing quicker, I just had to try it out. To be honest the first time I saw this advert I was slightly confused – how could a tablet actually speed up your washing process?? – did it come with free government cleaning lady for five hours a week? Unfortunately not, but the design of these tablets means that they work just as well as normal ones but on the ‘quick wash’ cycle on your washing machine. As I know very little about washing machines I assume... Read review

Advantages: No scrubbing
Disadvantages: Can't use the toilet for 6 hours

...Went to do my weekly shopping and decided to stop at the local Wilkinson to get a few cleaning products for the house. I am always spoilt for choice when I go there, there are so many offers and they do offer a wide variety of products as well. It was possibly 6 /7 months ago I discovered these tablets. They were on offer at £0.99 and I thought it was a bargain not to miss! I knew Harpic products anyway so thought this would have been a good buy anyway! What this product does is simply to remove limescale and properly clean under the waterline, without any need to scrub scrub and scrub! PACKAGING ********** On the shop shelf this product comes in a carton box blue and white in colour which says Harpic in bold red letters. The box contains 8 tablets and each tablet is singularly wrapped in a white plastic sachet to make... Read review

Disadvantages: Couldnae get it in England, Belize, Cyprus

...Och thon tablets make me either constipated or rot my gut. I am talking about the ones the doctor prescribes me for my knee pain. However, when it comes to Scottish tablet, there is no pain, only pleasure. Although I have heard that there is a fine line between pain and pleasure but best we don’t go there on this family website! (Not that I go there on any other website before you all start leaving me rude messages in the guestbook!). MITHER GOINAE GO AN GET ME SOME TABLET Now I’ve been an exiled Scot living in various countries serving Queen and Country and then living in England to be near Mrs B’s family (oh why did we do that!). What I’ve really missed has been The Sunday Post and Scottish Tablet, both of which my mither sent me. Och she’s a grand lass. LIKE A LUSH BODY SCRUB IN YOUR GOB (just for deano this title) Tablet...

Advantages: Good clean wash, Fresh smell, White whites, good at low temperatures, Easy to use,
Disadvantages: none

...I discovered Daz tablets on offer at Wilkinsons, they cost £3.58 for a 24 wash box (48 tablets), I have seen the cheesy cleaner close adverts advertising Daz, and think they are quite funny. Laundry Tablets have been around now for nearly 10 years, Persil Bringing out their first tablets in 1998 and Ariel in 1999, there are many different brands out there Ariel, Bold2in1, Persil, Fairy, Surf amongst others. I am not in anyway loyal to any brand but just buy which ever tablets are on offer. I used to use powder but I switched to tablets as my son has gone off to university and I no longer have much washing to do. They are also easy for my son to use at university as he just needs to take a pack down with him to the laundry room in his halls. Daz has always advertised as getting your whites whiter than white, and I have to say... Read review

Advantages: HELPS TO SOFTEN YOUR CERVIX MAKING LABOUR EASIER
Disadvantages: none if you remember to take them regularly

...When I was pregnant with my first child my midwife recommended that from 35 weeks I should start drinking raspberry leaf tea. Seeing as I do not drink any hot drinks she said that they also came in tablet form. Taking raspberry leaf tea/tablets is supposed to help to soften your cervix making labour quicker and easier. You have to take the tablets 3 times a day. With this being my first pregnancy and being out at work I sometimes forgot to take the tablets regularly. My labour was quite quick and fairly easy. With my next two pregnancies I took the tablets religously every day from 34 weeks and they definately helped. My labours were definately quicker and easier. I had to be induced with the last two pregnancies and when I was given an internal the midwife said that my cervix was really soft and asked if I had been taking... Read review
