Advantages: Light and easy to manoeuvre, stylish, good value. Disadvantages: Like most "travel systems" it's bulkier than a buggy.
I bought this travel system in a swivel wheel version a year ago. I knew I wanted a three-wheeler and, having gone round the shops trying them all out and boring my husband, the first thing that struck me about this one was how much lighter and easier to handle the "Sport" version is than the others in the 03 range, or indeed any of the other brands in the same price range. You can fix the front wheel when you want to "off-road" or let it swivel which is great for shops and paved areas. It has a multi-adjustable handle so is suitable for baby-pushers big and small.
I also bought the System 03 car seat which attaches to the pushchair in a rear-facing position. This makes the pushchair suitable from birth up to 15kg (approx 3 years), with the baby riding in the car seat for the first nine months or so, then graduating to the main ...
Advantages: Picks up animal hair ; light & easy to use ; easy to empty ; good attachments Disadvantages: Not very powerful motor ; filters block regularly ; handle weak ;
We bought the DC03 because we both have arthritis and found it light and easy to use. It was also marketed as the best vacuum cleaner on the market at that time (3 years ago) for dealing with pet hair.
Dyson say you should change the filter once a year - we are lucky if we get two months out of one with having a dog (Rough Collie, who is regularly groomed!). Every two days we have to cut the hair from the rollers - it doesn't go through into the collection box.
The handle is weak. It broke once, although Dyson did replace it free of charge. It is now cracking again.
It is fairly good at cleaning the carpets, but less impressive when using the attachments. The motor simply isn't strong enough for the attachments to work. It is very poor at doing stair carpets and doesn't clean the crumbs from down the back and sides ...

Advantages: Ease of use, print quality, reliability Disadvantages: Rather expensive
This toner cartridge is designed for use with the HP Laserjet 5P and 6P laser printers. These toners are used extensively at the company I work for as we have a number of 6P printers.
The 03A is a black ink cartridge with an estimated life of 8,000 pages. (This will vary according to whether standard or presentation modes are used on the printer).
This toner will retail at around the Ł70 mark depending on which supplier you use.
The cartridge comes in a large-ish cardboard box and it securely packaged with cardboard holders to keep the toner from being shaken around too much. The cartridge is sealed in a black plastic bag, which seems to me to closely resemble bin bag material!
In Use
These toners are quite easy to use, once it is removed from its bin bag(!) it is simply a case of removing a plastic strip from ...
