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

...Remington R320 R3 Titanium Series Rotary Shaver - Designed by BMW Group DesignworksUSA I quote "Now this product will shave you closer than a blade or your money back" wasn't that the claim of Victor Kyam in the 80's well he must have been talking about this shaver. Now having been a wet shave fan for the past twenty five years and after having had some bad experiances with a variety of dry shavers, I thought that the wet razor Gillette Mach 3 was the best thing since sliced bread. NOW ALL THAT'S CHANGED....... Oh look a birthday present from my mother and its a new shaver and considering I have had many a row with my mother when I lived with her over the mess with shaving foam on the mirror she should have known I used a wet shave. Anyway enough of my mothers problems and back to this shaver, I decided that at least I... 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

Advantages: cheap, available in many local computer shops
Disadvantages: unreliable, not compatible with all DVD writers, lots of read errors and glitches

...First, I will qualify that I have only had personal experience of using Datawrite 'Titanium' 8x DVD-R, and also, that a lot of the problems that people can have with different DVD-R media are actually down to difference in DVD writer compatibility, as much as they are differences in actual disc or brand quality. The existence of positive reviews of this media on this site alone suggests that a certain amount of variation between discs and DVD writers is possible. But still, I cannot at all recommend using Datawrite Titanium brand DVD-Rs for sensitive data, for burning video, or even really for general use. I have experienced too many problems with using them, with three different DVD writers and PCs. I especially do not recommend using these discs with an LG or Liteon writer. They are not compatible at all with some drives... Read review

Advantages: Attracts girls like moths to titanium.
Disadvantages: Sometimes they're men.

...in the Armani suits I'm about to buy. The T68i Siemens is nice, but my mate's got one and he wasn't in matrix. Mission Update: Get daughter off lap, wife bored and paying no further attention. "Titanium" I whisper - 8910 she moans with that all-knowing look. "Ai-Carumba!" I think quietly to myself as she uncurls her long frame from behind the desk to get me an example piece. What's going on here! Red carpet treatment - £300 phone on Vodaphone tariffs (coming down a bit) and I'm the man in the shop. Dual-band connectivity but I explain the world is not enough. I want to see more. The luscious raven haired sales girl holds the grey matte finish phone thing up in front of me and simultaneously clutches the silver buttons either side of the LCD display. The screen lights up a neon teal blue and at the same time you detect movement... Read review

Solid Titanium Balls Triple Honed and Polished Races for Maximum Speed Stainless Steel Shield Removable Dupont Delrin Crown Speed Rating: F#@K!NG FAST!!! IT DOES ACTUALLY SAY THE LAST BIT WITH THE LETTERS BLANKED OUT LIKE I HAVE DOOE. Two days ago I ordered some of these bearings, from www.rollersnakes.co.uk I was gonna get The Abec 7s which were £20 but I decided To get the Titanium Ones for an extra £2.00. So they were £22.00 with free delivery to the UK. Some might say £22 is a bit steep for Skateboard bearings, but trust me they are thoroughly worth every penny I saved. Once I had painlessly slotted the slightly oily... Read review

Advantages: Bean-to-cup, Easy to use, Fresh coffee quickly, Nice design, Ground coffee bypass
Disadvantages: Coffee bean container not removable, Does not steam while making coffee

...I bought one of these refurbished directly from Gaggia UK. I have seen them advertised up to £750 but I paid a lot less than that. Gaggia can take a long time to ship a refurbished unit but they did tell me the lead time when I ordered it. (Refurbished machines are machines that are new, but have been shop damaged or had parts missing and so get returned to Gaggia and are repaired under warranty.) I bought this machine as a second machine as we already have a Synchrony Compact Digital for 3 years which has done over 2200 coffees. The Synchrony Compact Digital will be given a new home soon. Nice design touches in the Titanium machine AND the Synchrony Compact Digital include: - Twin boiler, meaning steam is produced very quickly after making coffee, but you cannot do both coffee and steam at the same time. From cold... Read review

Advantages: needs no batteries, automatically updates the time, good looking
Disadvantages: doesnt adjust for BST

...for quite a while, up to 6 months according to manufactures information. Unless you intend to spend 6 months in the dark this is difficult to test as whenever you are in the light the watch is constantly topping its charge up. º It also has 2 power saving modes. The first automatically operates after 72 hours of darkness. The watch's hands will stop moving, but the watch will continue to receive time calibration signals. Eventually the watch will enter a secondary in which it will no longer attempt to calibrate. In both cases as long as you expose the watch to light before the battery is completely depleted, the hands will automatically align themselves to the correct time. In this mode the battery life is supposed to last around 18 months. º Titanium is an excellent choice for a watch. I, like many people have a mild allergy to nickel... Read review
