A Horrible Fax Machine!

Advantages: ... it's a fax machine
Disadvantages: EVERYTHING

... As can be seen from the picture on Ciao, the machine has a phone receiver on top, and just under a control panel with digits and other buttons for the fax/photocopier funcions, a little two lines monitor and nothing more. Aside from the ugly look that doesn't possibly match with any existing furniture, it's a space waster, too big to be placed anywhere but on an office desk (surely not in a house). I'm not even listing too many details because it's a machine to be avoided and I'll write down very soon why. WHAT'S GOOD ABOUT THIS MACHINE? Mmmh... mmmhh... I guess it's a fax machine that is often in offer for a good price but aside from that and the fact that it can also do photocopies, I could only find bad points. THE PROBLEMS I noticed annoying problems from the start. The machine has two different entries...

Review of Olivetti FAX-LAB 100

eFax.com - Definately the best free fax service

Advantages: Free fax number, no need to have a dedicated fax line
Disadvantages: None

...other features such as page zoom, document flip etc etc. I have been using this service for two years now and have received hundred's of faxes and have recommended this site to many of my friends and business associates. They also give you the option to open an account with them and make a deposit with your credit card and then you can also send your faxes to them by e-mail and they will fax to the respective recipititants. These faxes will be charged at the USA phone rates. You can check their rates for various countries and you will certainly find some which are cheaper than sending it from the UK....

Great Machine!

Advantages: Quick Work-Out, Cheaper than Power Plates, Great Results
Disadvantages: Only tones your body, doesnt keep you fit.

...This machine is simply a must if you want to tone yourself up and not have the hassle of going to the gym for hours each week! I bought one of these off Ebay, and now so glad i did. Its simply an amazing piece of kit. My Personal Experience At first i thought, surely this machine cant be as good as i've been reading all over the net, people must be exagerating and just trying to sell the machine. How wrong i was.... The first time i used this, i trained at level 10 (ranges from 1-20) thinking i can take it at that level no problem, and sure enough i was ok, i did a few different positions for my legs, stomache and arms. I trained for about 10 minutes, as i wanted to see how much this would actualy do, and sales reports tell me that 10minutes of using this machine is equivelent to 1 hour at the gym. Boy oh boy did i feel it...

No Fax Machine - No Problem

Advantages: Free - Easy - Quick - Reliable
Disadvantages: Requires a 380k download to read faxes

...thermal paper to worry about! The fax can be zoomed in and out, rotated (why do some people insist of faxing stuff upside down?) and stored as thumbnails for easy filing. The service is completely free for 0870 numbers, although, for a monthly fee of $9.95 you can have a local rate 0845 fax number instead with the added ability to send email to fax anywhere in the world for a few cents a minute. Sending faxes to your free eFax is cheaper than sending to many stand-alone fax machines as the modem speed is faster. eFax can also be set up (optionally) as a telephone answering machine – now quaintly known as “voice mail”. There are obvious advantages to using this free service: ! No need to buy a fax machine ! No need to free up a line for incoming faxes ! No cost ! Receive faxes anywhere that has Internet...

Review of Sitecom Fax / Modem

Free Fax Machine

Advantages: Free, convenient
Disadvantages: None experienced

...Yes, its really true. If you have an e-mail account you can also benefit from a fax facility. All you need to do is sign up with www.yac.com. They will give you a free number - starting 0709 - (and which can also be used for voice calls and an answering service) which can be used for faxes. Your received faxes are sent on to you by e-mail and appear in a .tif file for you to save or print. The cost of sending faxes is not too high - about the same as calling a mobile phone so it is not prohibitive. One of the real beauties is that your fax is available 24/7/365 - no need for an extra line! If you have a fax driver for your PC's modem and a scanner you can completely dispense with the need for a fax machine. I have used the system for several months now and have found it to be excellent. Is this the end...

great machine it works!

Advantages: it does asa it says
Disadvantages: might make you feel dizzy

...i can say that this is a great machine it really works and gives you good results i wouldnt say the best but you can certainly tell after a period of time that your body has toned up, i havent got one of these myself but i would like to get one when i can afford it lets say. the vibration on this machine is not like a massage its more intense and when you stay on it for quite a while you will feel your muscles tightnen thats when you know its working. so i definatly gives this machine a thumbs up, i suggest you buy this machine if your too lazy or bored to go to the gym because you can do many exercises on this in the comfort of your own home. this is a great machine and would recommend this a good buy...

great value for money

Advantages: robust, long-lasting and good value
Disadvantages: sometimes a pain to use

...fax was, but it wasn't Samsung). I'm very pleased with the Samsung on this. The samsung is also nice and compact and well-designed: it looks like it cost a lot more than the £200-odd it actually does cost. In fact this nearly put us off buying it as we thought it might disguise a shoddy product but we were wrong. Furthermore, it's an ink-jet which means that the ink lasts a lot longer than on faxes that use that funny carbon-paper roll stuff (again, our old fax was one of these). In fact we haven't had to change the ink cartridge yet, so I'm afraid I don't know exactly how much they cost, but I'm assuming they're comparable to the price of printer ink-jet cartridges. As with many of these things, it also functions as a copier and you can change the size/ darkness setting on the output: generally very useful. The downside...

Review of Samsung SF-3100/T Inkjet Plain Paper Fax

Samsung SF3100T for under 200 pounds

Advantages: Low lost, high specification fax/copier/answer machine
Disadvantages: none that I can see so far

...In the Samsung SF3100T I’ve finally found a value for money feature rich machine after hunting around for a couple of weeks for a combined ‘fax/copier/phone/answer phone’. One of the key criteria was A4 plain paper, inkjet engine, small footprint and easy to use, because the entire family need to be able to use the fax and also change the consumables and paper when I’m not around. I aslo wanted a reasonable handset a hands free microphone for normal business telephony. Interestingly I trawled around several main white goods outlets and found it difficult to get a machine from stock …there appeared to be very few types on offer. I could have short-circuited the whole process by going mail order but I wanted to see the goods and kick the tyres. Staff in the Comet, Curry’s, Dixons type stores haven...

YOU WANT THE FAX

Advantages: Reliable brand, good after sale service
Disadvantages: Large amount of room taken up

....ebay.com)? So off to the manufacturer website I go in the name of research, and amazingly, my five year old fax machine is still available for purchase even today. So there is a market after all. Ok, Ok, Just get on with it, Helen -------------------------------- Right, about my little machine. In 1997, in the days before email (at my workplace anyway), and in light of the fact I was working from home a lot, I decided to purchase a fax machine to be installed on a second telephone line at home. I trailed down to the BT shop to have a look at my options. One of my requirements was that I wanted a Plain Paper Fax Machine, and the BT shop had for sale the wonderful Brother Fax 1020 Plain Paper Fax. Bingo! I parted with £299.00 and I took my new toy home. Incidentally, you can now buy a brand new model for £259.00 today. How is that...
