Advantages: Simple, effective, Cleans the dishes
Disadvantages: none yet

...We bought this before I had my daughter thinking that it would help me have time with her instead of wwasting time on cleaning the house and keep things simple in the house for me so went to currys and looked for a dishwasher. We ended up picking this one the Carlton CF1W Dishwasher as was a good price and all we wanted it to do was wash the dishes was not looking for anything fancy. This dishwasher has 12 No of Place Settings which we never use it all but has plenty of space fo extras if we have anyone round for tea. This is a B Energy Rating which is ok not the best but we only put this on once a day, and with a 1.05 kwh Energy Consumption. It has 5 programmes and 2 temp setttings which has done the job as we only ever use the same setting the hard cleaning stuff from the oven I always soak first. The Interior... Read review

Advantages: Use 2 types of cards in one camera
Disadvantages: Pricey

...If like me, you've got a variety of cameras, using different memory cards, you sometimes wish there was only one format. Why? Because then you can just buy a load of cards all of the same sort, and they'd work in all the cameras. The Minolta SD-CF1 is an adapter for those with a whole load of SD (Secure Digital) type cards, who also have a CF (Compact Flash) compatible camera too. Why should I need to buy a 512Mb CF for my Minolta, when I have a perfectly good 512Mb SD card for my brand new Megxon? Well with this device, I won't of course. Although it's made by Minolta, and Minolta themselves only advertise it as compatible with certain cameras in their own range, it will in fact work with a variety of other CF cameras, including Canon and Nikon. It's very simple. You take your adapter, slot the SD card into it, then slot the whole... Read review

Advantages: inexpensive and fast memory card
Disadvantages: unnown in the UK brand

...I bought my Transcendend Compact Flash 1G memory card for my new digital camera last week over the net. As the camera it good, I wanted good and fast memory. After several hours shopping around over the internet finally I found what I was after. I've waited 2 days, on third day morning I had my delivery. When I saw the package was surprise a bit. It was just a bubbly envelope as a protection. Opened the package and … inspiration! The original package by producer was good protection enough, plastic container with manual, guarantee and other staff around memory card in small separate box. I placed the memory card in to my camera compartment and gave it a go. That was it, very fast memory card! No delays at all, the whole process of writing was just seamless, even when I made use of 5 shoots per second, the writing speed saw... Read review

Advantages: Price, Capacity
Disadvantages: Reliability, Speed

...besides simple storage; how fast the files can be stored. This has seen the creation of various grades of CF where the speed of access is indicated by a multiple of 150Kb, so an 8x card has an access speed of 8 x 150Kb or 1.2Mb/sec. Regular speed cards are somewhere between 8x and 10x, High Speed is 20x (3Mb/sec) and ultra-High Speed are 40x (6Mb/sec). That's the basics of CF out of the way, so on to the ByteStor card in question... Advertised as a High-speed card with a 20x (3Mb/sec) access time with 1Gb capacity and coming in at only £65 from Amazon (and probably less after Christmas!) it was too good a bargain to miss. Equivalent cards from named brands sell for 3 times as much and surely there can't be that much of a difference? Arriving in minimal packaging but with a typical snap-closed plastic case, it's a pretty standard Type... Read review
