Brabantia Pull-Out Drying Lines 22 meters

from: Brabantia (UK) Ltd


This is not the first indoor cloths line we have had but it was time to update so we went for this one.

In our case it is used as an over bath dryer for towels etc. and it does just that however I found fixing the thing quite tricky. Remember it will asked to take a lot of weight. Previous ones we had just screw to the wall and as long as the wall and fixings are sound there should be no problem but this new one has a different type of fixing that requires one to be very precise. If you have to fix it to cavity walls as I have, you may well have problems.

Tefal ActiFry Low Fat Electric Fryer

from: Tefal


It does what it says on the tin! The chips are wonderful. You can do all sorts of food in it. It trades on the 'only one spoonful of oil' appeal to weight-watchers but that's largely a myth. I don't find the noise irritating.

The bad points ... the alarm for the end of cooking is unbelievably quiet. You can barely hear it if stood next to it. The machine continues cooking beyond the timer ... a nasty and inherently dangerous trait. If they sorted out the timer I'd add a couple of stars.

Balanzza Luggage / Suitcase Weigh Scale

from: Venture Innovations Ltd


Hi purchased these luggage scales recently for a holiday to orlando florida.They were absolutely brilliant,very easy to use and accurate.We used them on the journey home to make sure we were not carrying too much hold or hand luggage, which in todays climate where air carriers are eager to screw every penny from passengers for excess luggage they were invaluable

Tefal Quick Cup - Hot and Cold Water in 3 Seconds

from: Tefal


This is a very disappointing product.
We are now on our 3rd and I will not be getting another
It works great fro 2 weeks and then the water becomes tepid. No amount of descaling will revive it.
Great idea, bad product!

Brabantia Iron Store Black

from: Brabantia (UK) Ltd


Om so it is just an iron caddy....
Good points:
Easy to affix
Stores iron.

Bad points:
We were buying it to hang ironing board also and the length of the hanger means that you have to place the iron caddy quite high to accomodate the ironing board beneath.....i.e. it means reaching up to get the iron down. Fine for me at 6'2" - but might be an issue for someone shorter or who has problems reaching up.

The iron does not lock in place and my Tefal iron feels like it could just fall out - re previous comment from a very high point.....Having said that maybe I am just worrying overly much but you can't take a chance with chidren playing.

Delia's How to Cheat at Cooking

by: Delia Smith

February 15, 2008
After reading the very mixed reviews on this page I was eager to see what all the fuss was about with this book. I am not overly concerned about the whole argument on whether or not it is right or wrong to cheat at cooking - although I might add that I am surprised at the anger from those who sit firmly in the latter camp (if you feel so strongly about it, why on earth would you buy a book entitled 'how to cheat at cooking' in the first place?) Personally, I bought the book on the basis that it might provide me with some after-work ideas for a quick meal. Flicking through the book, I have only really come across a couple of recipes that appealed to me and most of them contained so many specific ingredients that I felt it was not worth the bother. ...
