The new Gaggia Titanium that broke!

Advantages: Large water tank, Speedy, Compact, Easy to customise and use
Disadvantages: Body finish could be better for the price; Brew unit (plastic) is not very sturdy

...After owning a Krups Crematic combi machine for 5 years, I wanted to own something a step up, although there was nothing really wrong with the Krups and it served me well on a daily basis. Although the new Gaggia Titanium has been out for at least a few months there don't seem to be any reviews of it yet, so I hope this is of help. I was in 2 minds whether to plump for this model or the slightly cheaper Gaggia Synchrony Digital Compact. The main reason the Titanium won was because the water tank was double the size of the Compact, the look was better, and the features were improved. One of the other differences between these two models is the Titanium has an "active" cup-warmer whereas the Compact has a "passive" cup-warmer. Active means it has it's own heater, not just the heat from the machine. So - on with the review. Set-up was...

The Super-Duper Corioliss C2 Straighteners

Advantages: Great perfomance, variable heat, styles as well as straightens, funky looks
Disadvantages: Price might put some off, lack of high-street availability, cleaning the plates

...print Corioliss C2 Titanium straighteners from Sally's Beauty Supply. She said the straighteners were brilliant, variable temp, curls and waves too, antibacterial action, smooth design and function. I had never heard of Corioliss before (it seems they retail more for pros) but these sounded like a good buy, and I had a personal recommendation from someone who had great hair. They retail for approx £120, but if you have a trade card with Sally's (she did) you can get a hefty amount off plus an extended warranty. Shiny, shiny I got my new Corioliss C2's home (red leopard print) and immediately plugged them in. In the box there are the actual straighteners, a little book with howtos, info and 'green Corioliss' initiatives. The red leopard print is a funky and bright, but there are other finishes available. The actual...

Remington R320 R3 Titanium Series

There is no indication as to whether it is fully charged or how much charge is left in the unit but I have seen the higher grade model and it does so that may be a reason why this is the cheaper option. Does that mean that my mother didn't think I was worth the extra...

Review of Remington R 320 R3 Titanium

These put GHD's to shame

Advantages: Lightweight and brilliant result
Disadvantages: Pricey

...I am a hairdresser and have used many hair straighteners over the years. GHD were the best...........until i discovered these. They are slim, very lightweight and come in a variety of colours including sliver, gold and leopard print. The packaging is very smart, the kind of box you present a birthday present in to someone - shiny and good quality material. The straighteners reach a temperature of 210c in 20 seconds, and the digital controller allows you to click a button to choose the temperature you wish, depending on the thickness and length of hair - and style desired. The cord is very long so they are brilliant to use when styling someones hair and even better on your own. The straighteners are titanium plated so glide across your hair, and also work by cleaning your hair as they straighten it by using anti-bacterial technology...

Gears Of War 2

Advantages: Fantastic Gameplay and Playability
Disadvantages: Not your typical 3rd person shooter (taking cover is required!)

...The heavy hitting "Gears Of War" was a giant step into the world of future gaming, it's mind blowing in-game graphics and fantastic gameplay gave birth to a game which was not only playable once..but endless! times."Gears Of War 2" packs a much larger punch.With a lot of hours placed into the making of GOW:2 to guarantee fans of the original be satisfied, they have managed to make a game which will not only test your skill but will force you to think up a cunning strategy..or a thousand.Computer A.I (in game characters) will react to your every move,which is good if your pinned down behind a blown up vehicle with constant fire and need a hand from a comrade.However this can also be reversed in the way that if you have a enemy locked down your iron sight...he is going to call in his "friends" to help get you out his path.Gears 2 is all...

Apple MacBook Pro Core 2 Duo 2.5 GHz - 17" TFT

Advantages: nice screen, good battery life, fast specs
Disadvantages: large size (price?)

...Apple mac-books, where to start... ok, so to start, it is an apple, that means you get a solid quality product and on the whole very good customer are. this particualar apple is deffinatly more suited to being a media center than other laptops. At first glance you realise that it is a fairly large laptop, this allows for a big screen, which being an apple ffers clear vivid displays, unfortunatly the big screen increases the overal size and also uses more battery, however, the 4.5 hour yattery is still very good for an entertainment laptop. The laptops technical specs include a very fast 2.5 ghz dual core proccesor which is very fast, the dual core allows it to tackle multiple tasks quicly as well as increasing the overall speed of the laptop. The price is quite steep however, but i believe, if given the money, it is...

my gears of war 2 review

Advantages: great graphics, Fun
Disadvantages: Slow matchmaking

...Campaign I really enoyed the first campagin but as money reviewers stated it was quite short and the ending did annoy some. Thankfully the story is much better off this time round. The story follows macrus and dom on an emotional story to finish off the locust and find doms wife maria. Presentation As gears of war 1 looked so incredible many different reviewers questioned if gears of war 2 could look any better than the first. But since epics showing of the newly updated unreal engine peoples minds started to beleive and gladly they did. The graphics are incredible, bascially mindblowing. They have improved alot than the first gears of war, with added extras like new water effects you cant go wrong. Multiplayer The multiplayer is pretty much the same as the first but with some tweaks. Firstly the shotguns damgaed has been...

H2O mop

Advantages: no chemicals
Disadvantages: didnt work well

...I found the H2O mop does not work well like they show on the commercials. I found it didn't glide easily across the floor and it didn't clean well like it says. It's stated to hold over the dirty/stained area for a couple minutes for hard to remove stains and after more than 10 minutes it was still not any cleaner. I also found the cloth cover did not come very clean after a wash. If it actually worked as well as it is supposed to the $100 cost would be well worth it. I personally don't reccomend this product for carpet areas although I did not try it on hardwood floors. It's supposed to work well on heavier stains and with my experience it did not even work well on a light stain....

Review of H2o Steam MOP

Slimline Playstation 2

Advantages: Small, Lightweight, Looks nice, Cheap , Watch movies, loads of games, online gameplay
Disadvantages: Can break easily, Only 2 controllers,

...The ps2 is a great console although it is almost10 years old. It has alot of features that anyone can use with ease. On it you can watch Movies, Play games and also play online with people around the world providing that you can internet access on it. there are a wide variety of games available for it and they are also quite cheap. The playstation itself can come quite cheap with prices starting at £40 in some shops. You might also want to get some accessories for it such as the vertical stand, the eyetoy camera and the DVD remote if you want one. The only bad points about the playstation i would say are the fact that it is quite fragile and would break easily....

Review of Sony PlayStation 2 - Slimline Model (PS2)

playstation 2

Advantages: lots of fun for kids
Disadvantages: can easily spend to much time on it

...I have to say I am a great fan of the playstation 2, my son has one and he loves to play it, as do I. Although I tend to limit the time he spends on it. I cant really find anything bad about the ps2, but lately it has been partly to blame for a few problems in my family, my younger brother who is 15 years old first got his when he was about 8 years old, he was over the moon, my mother also put a limit on the time he would spend on it. He was fine with this, he was`nt really a child who went out a lot so most of his time was spent on the playstation or having a chin wag with anyone who would listen, he was always very smart and sensible. (or so we thought) Since then he has gathered up lots of games and still enjoys playing on the ps2, but he moved in with his father when he was 14, this is were the problem began as he started to...
