Advantages: Easy to monitor a single appliance or multiple via an extension lead
Disadvantages: Doesn't monitor usage from electric cookers or other wired fixtures

...maintains a consistent level it is easy to convert into kw/h which is the measurement the energy companies use. Basically you divide the wattage by 1,000, then multiply by the number of hours used and then multiply the answer by the price per kw/h which appears on your statements. Also pressing the '2-price' button will show you the highest reading taken so far and pressing it again will show you the time and day that reading occured. Mode 4: This mode is a timer which records how long your appliance has been switched on. You can reset it by keeping the 'set' button pressed for 5 seconds. Mode 5: This is the total consumption used by the device over the amount of time turned on (ie. the time from mode 5). This mode is useful if you have appliances which have low power requirements. By leaving the monitor in place for 10 hours say, you could... Read review

Advantages: gives you energy
Disadvantages: not for little children or hyperactive children

...which other companies have never seemed to copy, unlike cola and other soft drinks . I personally love the taste, it is tangy and has zing. You can feel the effects of the energy drink within about five minutes of drinking it, so if you have hyper-active children do not give them this to drink, otherwise your day will be harder than usual. I know my son was hyper-active and could not go near lucozade without it making him behave totally out of control. Even when he was ill it was not suitable for him. It is made by GlaxoSmithKline and if you have any consumer questions you can contact them om 0800 096 3666, the drink is not suitable for children under two years old and personally I wouldn't give it to little one's under ten but that's just my opinion as it makes them hyper. It contains glucose and caffine which is where the energy... Read review

Disadvantages: None what so ever they are a brilliant company!

...a letter in the post from EDF saying that there was a problem with my card and could i contact them asap, so i did just that and they were really good, they sent me a new card and electric key within 2 days of speaking ot them, i was shocked at how quick they arrived, i was panicking i was gonna run out of electric and gas!! They dont keep you hanging on the phone for ages and have that annoying music while you wait...they are really quick to answer your calls and deal with any problems you may have. Also with EDF energy you can earn nectar points with them, my last statement i had earned both 300 points on each of my fuels so thats 600 points in total...and you get points for when you sign up with them. I would definately recommend EDF energy!!... Read review

Advantages: Great Tasting, Cheaper Than Most Energy Drinks, Major Partners
Disadvantages: Price Could Be Cheaper

...hydration. When you sweat you lose electrolytes and good old powerade replaces them. This drink also contains a lot of glucose. Powerade has many different partners which include the amateur athletic union, The NHL, The olympic games, The winter games and healthsouth they also sponser top athletic camps around the U.S.A. Here are some nutrition facts about Powerade: Serving Size - 240ml Calories Per Serving - 70 Total Fat - 0% Sodium - 2% Potassium - 1% Carbohydrates - 6% Sugar - 15g Niacin - 10% Vitamin B6 - 10% Vitamin B12 - 10% Powerade is available from many stores in the UK and retails at a price of around 80p-90p but is well worth it. Most energy drinks I find are disgusting and are not worth the ridiculous prices you pay for them, powerade is different not only is it a energy drink that is approved by the olympic games...

Advantages: none
Disadvantages: expensive, constant breakdowns, dreadful aftercare, cheap components

...Like other contributors to this website my family and I have been badly let down by this abysmal company from Colchester. Though never taken in by the promises of all the money we would save, we did go ahead with having their solar water heating energy system installed in January 2004 for two reasons: (1) ‘Doing our bit for the environment’; (2) the Swiss connection. I have little doubt that the Swiss-manufactured solar panels are of high quality, but the rest of the system is not: the replacement larger hot water cylinder (which takes up three quarters – not one third, as promised – of our airing cupboard) is of the lowest quality, as is the pump. The ‘expert’ fitter had been two weeks with the company. When the system regularly broke down – the heat kept exceeding 120oC, instead of the limit of 60oC, and strong fumes made anyone...

Advantages: you can play online, its easy to pick up.
Disadvantages: graphics are a bit dated, very easy to get addicted to!

...Total Annihilation (TA) is a war game I was introduced to about three years ago. I have been hooked on it ever since. There are two types of army: Arm and Core. Each army has a commander, which is your main unit. The commander is used to build units such as factories (kbots, transport and planes), metal extractors, solar panels, wind turbines, radar's, laser towers plus lots more. In order to build units you need enough metal and energy, there are bars at the top of the screen telling you how much metal and energy you have and how much you are using. There are three ways to play TA. The first way is to play the levels, you get set missions and work you way through many levels (Arm and Core have different missions so in total there are around 50 different missions to complete) you can also chose the difficulty level. The next way... Read review

Advantages: The best real time strategy game ever!!!
Disadvantages: Ahh, very few.

...Well, where do I begin talking about a game such as this. Despite being a few years old now, this game does not date one little bit. Still as relevent today as the day it was released, Total Annihilation is THE strategy game that all others must be compared with. The storyline is that a was between two factions namely the Core and the Arm has decimated the entire galaxy. Nowadays people no longer exist and all life is robotic, but the struggle for dominance continues til the bitter end. The game itself has several different options, the single player campaign is very long with the missions getting progressively harder, will provide weeks of gameplay alone. Add to this is the skirmish mode allowing you to set up a game to your liking, and finally a superb multiplayer game allowing players to play either in a team or in deathmatch mode... Read review

Advantages: Increased energy
Disadvantages: Decreased wallet thickness

...(Note: this is actually opinions on four different energy drinks - not just Red Bull. Also, the graphs aren't available in the opinion, so if you want to see them, you have to go to the real website of The Energy Drink Project: www.guywiththecoat.com/energy.htm) Greetings! This is Nathaniel Jones, putting the boredom and desire to put off homework to good use, because rather than just sit around, I have decided to make the world a better place by creating a helpful guide to something I know nothing about: energy drinks. Explanation: I’m currently a college student at the University of Southern California, and one of the fun things about college is what we call ‘final projects,’ followed by ‘final exams.’ What we don’t have, however is ‘sleep.’ In recent years, however, there has been a boom in a new kind of business: liquid sleep...
