Verified iTechworld Itechworld Solar panel – Looks good, not fitted yet but looking forward to better performance than from my cheapie Chinese panel.… |

DeLonghi Perfecta ESAM5500B Real coffee taste – Was given a second hand unit as a gift as original owner now uses pods. Takes a while to find what brand of beans you like best but with a bit of experimentation a good cup of… coffee can be obtained. After reading reports of luke warm drinks I was concerned I may not get a hot cuppa but when set to hot it is good. Can use powder coffee if necessary and can select 5 strengths of beans and 5 volumes of water. My unit is faulty as I cannot do Cappuchino or dispence hot water but that is not a drama. All told I am happy with this unit. Checking ststs. this machine has made over 9200 coffees. |

FridgeMate FM55 / FM70 / FM95 FridgeMate FM60 – I prefer this unit (FM60) as it has a larger footprint & rather than being as deep it is easier to get things out without digging through everything. Noisier than I expected. 12V… power cables use too small gauge wire & get warm, will cause voltage drop. Lowest temp I could get was -14. This does not sound like a positive review but unit does work well & for the price I paid I prefer this to my old Engel. Dual zone provision, not too deep. Power hungry on 12V. External 240V power supply should be intergrated similar to Engel. |

Cub Drover Value – Bought mine from second owner. Unit has been around Aus. twice incl. Gibb River Rd and has held up well. Few minor cracked welds on frame easily fixed & gas struts need replacing… but all is still good. Poorly designed door zip prone to failure which means all canvas has to come off, not a cheap fix.This fault rectified on later models,they also have independent suspension. Innerspring mattress poor. Drawbar weight on Drover can be quite high, mine is 235Kg. Tows very well & easy to setup. Make sure you get as many extras as possible with a S/H unit (awning, end walls, tropical roof) as Cub will wound you big time to buy from them at a later date. H/Duty wheel bearings not readily avail. from auto stores so make sure you take spares with you. Excellent value if compared to other hard floor campers. Quick & easy set up. Drover has the works so easy to live with. Poor door zip, crook mattress. Needs interior lights (easily fixed) |

HBF Health Insurance If you can afford it, get it – After being a member for over 10 yrs I was run over by a Volvo ! Off work for 12mths but HBF paid my premiums until I was back at work That was in 1996. I lost my job in 2007 but… was hospitalised twice that year for elective surgery. Once again HBF paid all my medical bills & did not require me to pay premiums for 9 mths until I recovered & could afford to start payments again. Can't complain about that. Easy to deal with, quick @ efficient claims. Not cheap, but then what good insurance is ? |
