Advantages: look good
Disadvantages: ?

...We bought Brass door handles When we bought our pine interior doors they came without door handles attached. We needed to buy those separately so we looked at the handles in B&Q. We decided we wanted handles not knobs we decided brass colour not silver. Brass looked warmer with the pine and would go with the natural colour scheme. we thought about pine knobs but decided they might be a mismatch . We decided we wanted a scroll shaped handle rather than a straight one, more pleasing to the eye. Curves are always good. I just opened my door now and the way the curve of the scroll is it just fits in to my hand shape excellent for opening. The metal does not feel cold and it feels smooth its good to open my doors with We chose the Victorian scroll polished brass handles. These are now available at £5.00 reduced from £5.47p each. We...

Advantages: Different Designs
Disadvantages: So many to choice from

...Hello happy people! Well I have decided to write a review on Brass Door Handles, now you may think this is an easy one to write about, but it's not. Brass door handles are used internally and externally within dwellings and commercial buildings. Brass door handles range from many different uses, this could be lever handles, lever lock plate handles, lever handles with escutcheons, Lever latch handles, knob handle furniture, pull handles, etc, etc. The list goes on and on. The real issue when choosing ironmongery is the finish of the material being used. As this review is about Brass door handles you think that was end of what type of finish you can have, but you are wrong, there are many types of finishes you can have of brass, this ranges from:- • Polished Brass • Gun Metal Brass • Standard Brass • Brass...

Advantages: Easy to use for people with rheumatism, and Arthritis.
Disadvantages: Diffacult to cook with a round pan eg: a Wok.

...I have just brought my wife a new Gas cooker she has difficulty with her hands when cooking. I chose a New World white Cotsworld Delux cooker. I paid £245.00 from Currys. This cooker has an eye level grill with two handles, a lot of the grills I looked at only had a single handle on the grill which makes it heavier, but with the two handles you can balance the weight, this is also helpful for the elderly has well. There are four burners of three sizes one simmer, one fast, and two normal burners on the back. This is an easy cooker to clean most dirt just wipes off with a wet cloth. The oven door opens out from the right there is a long bar just below the top of the door in a gold finish, this bar makes it easy to open unlike some cookers which have the round handle type. This cooker lights first time unlike some which you have to try... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Aweful customer service if you have a problem

...on existing oven door. The existing holes on part #9759072 did not match the existing door handle or the supporting door brackets and could not be installed. Paul called Whirlpool Customer Service at 1-800-253-1301 to explain we received the wrong part, and was on the phone for over an hour and a half with 3 different departments including, customer service, parts and parts research, and scheduling a service call for June 21st. Paul asked to be transferred to a supervisor about an hour into the call. He was told that is not possible that there are no supervisors at the call center. After much persistence Paul was transferred to a supervisor by the name of Jessica S. (she refused to give her last name) at the Washington State Call Center. Jessica stated that she would research our problem and call back. Paul asked for a direct extension... Read review

Advantages: look good price cheap
Disadvantages: ?

...stain when they are fitted. As of yet we have not treated them. I think we will just stain them we need to decide on the redecoration of the sitting room and work out which stain to use. The pinewood on these doors has several knots in it they make the wood more interesting. To be honest we are taking a break from diy as it is exhausting and work is hard at the moment. I do not want to put much stress on hubby and make him as ill as he was 4 months ago. These doors were standard size one of them we has to shave a little of the ends to make it fit onto the door opening on our smallestroomunderthestairs These doors came without hinges or door handles we had to buy these separately As my husband was of work ill he managed to fit the doors with a friends help he did not find them too difficult to fit. He had to fit hinges in the correct... Read review

Advantages: Roomy, handles well, cheap to run (diesel), VERY cheap road tax (35 a year).
Disadvantages: not so cheap insurance, bit too much plastic in the interior.

...light, too. I have the car in the 3 door version, as opposed to the 5 door version, and am glad I went for this choice, as I feel the 3 door looks more stylish than the 5 door. However, if practicality is what your after, and you think a 5 door would provide you with more room: you'd be right, but only marginally. The rear seats in the 3 door folding down, and the boot's quite large anyway, so you get plenty of room in the back, for those times when you're wondering how you'll get something in your car at all. All in all, this is a fantastic little looker of a car, and handles beautifully. Definitely a perfect first car for me, and for many others I'm sure.... Read review

Advantages: handling, extras
Disadvantages: now re-modeled - value may fall

...The Ford Focus continues to be one of the most enjoyable cars in its price range. It's fun to drive, with brisk acceleration performance and agile handling. It's versatile, with hatchback models with flip-down seats that quickly prepare it for large amounts of cargo. It's comfortable on long trips and stable at high speeds. Ford's New Edge styling has helped the Focus stand out from the crowd. It comes in a wide variety of body styles to meet many different needs and lifestyles. Refinement comes in the form of new interior fabrics along with changes to interior and exterior trim, in comparison to earlier models.New options include heated seats, a new traction control and anti-lock brake system (ABS) package. The ZX5 five-door hatchback is now available in three trim levels. The 170-horsepower SVT versions offer thrilling acceleration... Read review

Advantages: Good price - quite spacious - energy rated "a"
Disadvantages: needs to be completely level - plastic handle problems!

..., very handy! and finally the temperature dial which goes from 0-5. I t is easy to set up and along with the manual was a quick set up guide, which pointed out the basics so you could set it freezing allowing you to read the other information at your leisure! The doors have the opening to your right, but it takes about 10 minutes to swap them around so they open the other way. The handles are long, white plastic tubular handles, which go along the bottom of the fridge and the top of the freezer door, and these so far have been my main problem, we have had the fridge door handle break twice on us so far, each time in an identical way, the handles crack right by where they fix to the door. Fortunately they broke just within the guarantee period, so we got them replaced for free. *** Fridge (5.6cu.ft/160litre) *** Open the fridge door, and you... Read review

Advantages: Fast Spin Speed and reasonably efficient
Disadvantages: Dryer is not great.

.... On its first birthday a reminder of the extended warranty option was sent. I did not buy, but it was a nice touch. We moved when the machine was one and a half years old and the machine continued to work well in its new home. I had lost the restraining bolts that came in the original packaging by then, so could not use them. In the new house the machine had to be plumbed into the same pipe work as the kitchen sink. As a result there was one incident early on when the machine filled up with sink water. This was solved by raising the machines exhaust pipe above the level of the sink. If a longer piece of piping had been supplied this would have been done in the first place so check its long enough for you. Second Problem At roughly 2.5 years of age, my mother-in-law visited and used the machine. She pulled the machines door handle off. She... Read review

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Disgusting

...Sorry, this is not a nice subject to talk about, but it really pi... ahem, gets on my nerves. What I am talking about is people, men, who don’t wash their hands when they have finished in the toilet. There you are at the public toilets and while you are washing your own hands someone walks out of the cubicle behind you and straight to the door. Why? It doesn't take that much effort to wash your hands. Bit of soap, bit of water and then dry. What is the problem? It's disgusting, frankly. For one, I have to touch the same handle that they used to open the door. Me, with my nice clean hand and now a dirty door handle in my way. What can I do? Use my sleeve or a hand towel that I was just using, or I could sit there the rest of the day until someone comes in or goes out. And it's not just the toilet door that they touch... Read review
