Maxi Micro Classic Maxi sized fun! And well worth the higher cost – Agree with everything the first reviewer stated. But would add that although this scooter is far more expensive than some brands, you will no doubt get many years of use out of… it and it could easily be handed down to siblings. I wouldn't expect the same from cheaper brands. This scooter can go very fast and a helmet (and padding) would be recommended. Also children (esp the younger ones) would best avoid inclines. This scooter is also equipped with a rear foot brake which kids seem to be able to get the hang of quickly. My child loves to do sudden wheelie stops and has never had a problem. However, the very low profile also lowers the centre of gravity and keeps the scooter upright and stable. It is also very easy and safe for the child to step off if they feel they are going too fast. The steering mechanism - which is driven by the user leaning into the direction they wish to go makes for very steady turning. It does require hand steering which may be difficult for younger children. The scooter itself seems to be extremely durable and would suit the roughest kids. The colours are bright and appeal to both boys and girls. Accessories and spare parts are available. Strong, sturdy, stable Cost (but likely to last) |

Hyundai ix35 LM.I Love This Car! – I love this car! I agree with another reviewer that this is the ideal car for a shorter person - this was the selling point for me. Most compact SUVs feel too cumbersome and the… road visibility is poor - but not the iX35! I test drove every comparable compact SUV and kept coming back to this this one. Now clocked 3500kms and have enjoyed every km. I have the Petrol version (mid-spec) as I found the Diesel just a bit too heavy to handle (as diesel engines add extra weight to a car). I also found the 2.4lt Petrol to be really sprightly. What fun, what joy it is to own this car. Reliable, great value, sprightly, |

Bosch Maxx EuroWasher Front Load Washing Machines A lovely machine - very happy so far – Purchased this to replace another front loader that only lasted four years before a major meltdown (not a Bosch). I am very happy with the performance of the Bosch so far. It… seems to handle everything thrown at it. The delicate and handwash cycles are especially gentle on my delicate items. This is a no frills machine but it is a mighty workhouse so far - and keeps up with our family washing needs. There is water pooling in the rubber seal however I have not had any mould or mildew problems. Reliable, easy to use, delicate and handwash cycles are excellent, door opens 180o Smaller opening (porthole) than what I was used to although the door opens 180o which is very helpful |

Soniq QSL322T Excellent picture quality – We have been very happy with this TV so far. Excellent picture quality - our room is quite bright and this doesn't diminish picture quality. Sound is just above average - no… issues here. Inexpensive but great picture quality Only con is that the time region is wrong and I can't seem to change it so I can't use the EPG (program guide) feature. No real issue for me though |

Breville Glass BKE260 Loved it until it shattered while boiling water! – I loved everything about this kettle when it was purchased - it looked great, the water tasted natural (unlike acrylic) and it was a breeze to clean. Unfortunately just after the… warranty expired the glass jug shattered while it was boiling. Thankfully no one was hurt. I should actually give this a one star for this dangerous fault alone but there is so much to like about it too. Looks great, water tasted natural, easy to clean Shattering glass when boiling is never a good thing, I have been too nervous to buy another one. Although from these comments it does seem my experience may have been a one off. |
