Sunbeam MultiBlender Platinum Control PB7650 OK – Great looking machine, handy accessory to sit on your bench top. Excellent for soups and milkshakes. Poor performer for breaking up ice for slushies or coocktails. Extremely… noisy motor which is horrible to your ear. It is compact and fits neatly onto the kitchen bench. Easy to use, you can add items to it while blending via the removable cup, sturdy, solid glass jug is easy to wash, looks elegant. Terrific for making milkshakes and soups. Extremely noisy and the motor has a piercing high pitched squeal which is unpleasant to your ear. The saleswoman a DJs said it would be perfect for blending ice to make slushies. Wrong. Most of the ice bounces around the base unit and not much gets broken up without lots of manual agitating. |

Canon IXUS 800 IS OK – An affordable, feature packed, compact digital camera / video with easy controls. Will more than satisfy an amateur but frustrate a budding enthusiastist as the features and… quality of pictures are nothing on a SLR. The most useful aspect of this camera is the video mode, it is very easy to use, reasonable quality, and you can video for a long time. The control on the camera are very easy to use and intuative. Very handy to have a point and shoot compact camera but as an enthusiastic I hoped for better quality and missed what you get in an SLR. Great to have a view finder and a digital display. There is no in built memory for this camera which can be a nuisance. The pictures are ok but not comparable to any SLR. If you like taking photos you'll soon tire of the quality of the ISUS would appreciate its other assetts.. There is a lag between depressing the button and taking the picture so you can miss some shots, the shutter is not super fast. Mine had a |

Breville ikon Cordfree SK500 Good – This is a nice looking kettle that is easy to use and refill, boils water efficiently, it does look dirty if you don't clean it regularly. The design is contemporary without any… gimmicks, the lid opens for refilling at the touch of a button, the led display is attractive, the swivel base with no cord on the actually kettle is great Very hot to touch (we previously had a plastic kettle), gets dirty easily |

Fisher & Paykel AquaSmart Excellent – Terrifc machine, ergonomic to use as you don't have to bend down, efficient, good range of wash options, really easy to use, looks smart, good value for money, washes clothes… really well, no significant lint problems, don't know what all the fuss is about lint, we nearly didn't buy this machine becasue of the fuss made about the lint which we have found to be largely unfounded, just don't mix acyrillics and fleeces etc. Follow the instructions! I did a lot of research on this machine prior to purchasing it. I really wanted to buy it but I was put off by the bad revieiws with regard to lint problems. I am now so glad that we bought the machine. Why? It has a great capacity of 8kg; we have only had a lint problem on 3 occasions and the lint was always on an acryllic material peice piece of clothing which we should have washed seperately. Overall it washes extremely well and the clothes come out much drier than our previous machine. The controls are so easy and intuitive to use, the machine looks good. I like the detergent dispenser. We use an enviro friendly liquid (earth choice) that we buy from the supermarket for about $2.50 and it works really well. I also love not having a central agitator as it is easier to put the clothes in. Occasionally it knots and twists the clothes up but there is a gentler washing option, no quick 15 minute rinse cycle. but really it is a great machine |
