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... Read review

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... Read review

Advantages: A close shave and good quality shaver with Titanium blades
Disadvantages: No charge indicator

...Titanium Coated Blades: 300% harder than Steel Blades* for a long lasting, excellent cutting performance Independent floating heads adjust to the contours of your face 20 cutters to cut short stubble, detail Styling Trimmer ideal for sideburns, necklines and moustaches Washable for easy cleaning Rechargeable for cordless use, 16 hours charging time Up to 45 minutes shaving time, electronic On/Off button Universal Voltage, environmentally safe batteries (NiMh) Travel pouch & cleaning brush, 2 year manufacturer guarantee (*vs. Remington Steel Blades) The Bad point. 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... Read review

Advantages: Efficient, bottom freezer, lots of space, highly adjustable
Disadvantages: Door shelves a bit too deep and not quite high enough, annoying beep when doors left open too long

...regulate the size of the cubes from small to large - in fact, there are five sizes of cubes you can make. Pretty nice, don't you think? General Design: First of all, this really looks very sexy standing in my new kitchen. With its titanium front finish, it doesn't ever look dirty with fingerprints, and that's a huge plus in my house. Moreover, everyone who has come to visit me since it arrived has commented on its beauty. Also, having a freezer on the bottom is a true blessing. I probably go into the freezer only once or twice a day, but I go into the fridge many, many times a day. Because of this, it only makes sense that the part of the fridge I use the most (and that's actually the veggie drawers) is the easiest part to reach. Not having to bend down time after time is really making my life much easier. Another nice thing... Read review
