Pros: Good if you have pets, Hard floors, Quiet, Sea grass flooring
Cons: Small mats lifted
Best Uses: All floors

I have been using this cleaner for some time now and also have a Dyson cylinder cleaner, This is better for the following reasons it has more suction for starters I think it must be head design. I have some modern floor coverings sea grass in particular and it really does get it much cleaner than the Dyson ever did. It is heavier than the Dyson but I am mainly using this upstairs where the sea grass is. I also have two cats and the Vorticity picks up hairs better than the Dyson too its also easier to store and empty. Its a great cleaner for laminate floor boards Carpets and alternative floor coverings like sea Grass mainly because the head design boosts the way it picks up even without a spinning brush at the end. And it looks nice too and is very robust and well made. As you can tell from this review I am very happy with this cleaner.

Noodle, Midlands

Pros: Clear instructions, Cooks bread evenly, Easy to clean, Easy to use, Modern, Perfect bread everytime, Ready to go in 2 mins
Cons: Large in size
Best Uses: Quick setup

I use this breadmaker all the time the quick set-up gets you cooking in 2 ticks. The bread comes out just the way you programmed it too, can’t say enough good things about this breadmaker.
The over all size is a bit bigger than a normal breadmaker but its worth it for the quality of the bread.

Tim Morel, Berkshire

Pros: Ease of use, Fast Bake
Cons: Viewing window
Best Uses: Making bread

This is an good piece of kit. I have owned several other breadmakers and this one equals the panasonic in terms of its output + it has one good advantage the fast bake using oil instead of butter.

The unit is easy to use, clean and store. The fast bake bread is excellent and is very easy, the kids love making this one as it is not too long before the house if full of the smell of their bread!
The viewing window is a little pointless as for me it often steams up
The inclusion of a timer is also useful when planning to wake to a nice warm loaf

All in all, a great bread-maker

Pros: Consistently good bread, Easy to use, Foolproof, SLEEK DESIGN
Cons: Takes up worktop space
Best Uses: Fresh bread in 3 hours, Great for dinner guests, Speciality breads a treat

I like the fact that it produces consistently good bread in a few hours. It makes anything from basic bread to speciality breads depending on whether the bread is for everyday use or special occasions. No negatives except that it takes up alot of my worktop space but I use it so much that I don’t put it in a cupboard!

Veba, Staffordshire

An excellent product, bakes gorgeous bread everytime, very easy to follow intructions and some delicious recipes included. The smell of baking bread is divine and will fill your whole house! Extremely easy to clean and the bread just slides out when baked, slices easily and keeps beautiful for a couple of days. Use mine all the time!

Henny Girl, Suffolk

Pros: Consistently good results, Ease of use, Easy to clean, Good program selection
Cons: Rice pudding not good
Best Uses: Timer setting

Use the breadmaker daily and more than happy with its overall all round performance. The selection of programs and versatility of uses make it a a well used item in my kitchen. The rice pudding recipe was not worth the effort but that is about all I can fault it for.

Pros: Easy to set up, Good design, Robust, Simple to use
Best Uses: Blouses, Handkerchiefs, Pillowcases, Shirts, Trousers

Really easy to set it up and use, just pour in the water, switch it on and away you go. All the usual settings and temperatures. It has a handy steam switch under the handle which is very convenient. The finish that you get is really professional and so much better than is achieved with cheaper products. Very clear illuminated panel on base unit and easy to follow instruction manual.Yes it is a bit bulky, but aren’t all similar products too? The water level indicator when filling could be clearer, but a small gripe with what is an excellent product. Get one you will not be disappointed with your investment.

Dib, Hertfordshire

Pros: Attractive to look at, Comfortable handle, Easy to use, Good price, Good quality product, Light, Long lead, Quick to heat up, Would highly recommend
Cons: Need to de-scale
Best Uses: Perfect for that 1 item

This product is so light, comfortable and easy to use. It’s perfect when you are in a rush and want to iron that 1 item, as well doing the whole weeks! The lead is a great length. I would highly recommend this product. I would recommend using ironing water as it does scale up quite quickly.

busy mum, Derbyshire

Pros: Easy to empty, Easy to use, Empties easily, Great on hard floors, Large dust capacity, Stores easily, Strong suction, Stylish
Cons: Not great for pet hair, No turbo tool
Best Uses: Hard floors, Non twist pile carpets, Rugs

This vacuum cleaner is excellent on hard floors and the versatile head is ok for rugs and non twist pile carpets. Cord rewind is great and it is very easy to empty. Telescopic tubes slide easily. Main drawbacks include no variable suction control, no turbo tool for pet hair and the tool storage has to be removes to use tools otherwise it gets in the way. I have 2 vacuums and use this one downstairs where most of my floors are hard floors.

Pros: Easy to clean and empty, Easy to use, Excellent suction, Simple
Cons: Storage not as compact
Best Uses: All floors, Pet hair

Excellent vaccuum and a worthy contender to other top brands. Simple to use, clean and empty with no constant changing of accessories. Not as compact in storage as I would have liked but still takes us no more room than an upright. Suction is excellent and certainly much, much better than other brands we have owned.

Pros: Clip on tools, Easy release tools, Easy to empty, Excellent dust canister, Long flex, Long hose, Manoeuvable, Quality product, Retractable flex, Stylish product
Cons: Cumbersome, Difficult to store, Poor suction on carpets, Poor suction on rugs
Best Uses: Reaching inaccessibles, Vacuuming hard floors, Vacuuming hard surfaces

Excellent for vacuuming hard floors. We have floors which are tiled, laminate and a new wood floor on which the product glided over and vacuumed exceedingly well. The dust canister was extremely easy to empty and I thought designed very well. The retractable flex is neat. The clip on tools are quick and easy to use. The product looks stylish. On carpet I found the suction poor, so much so that I would go over my carpets again with my own product

Celine, London

Pros: Easy to use, Great quality product
Best Uses: 3 in 1 brown cook simm

What I love about my Flavour Savour is that I can brown my meat before I do a stew and all in the same dish! It has different cooking/simmering functions, it looks great in your kitchen, and it so easy to clean…
Overall an excellent product that would be hard to beat.

JSW22, Cotswolds

Pros: ATTRACTIVE, Beautifully made, Easy to use, I LOVE IT, Modern, Practical, Stylish, Versatile
Cons: Cant think of any
Best Uses: All the time, General purpose

I love being able to brown and cook all in the one pot. I love being able to cook slower of more quickly. The design is great – looks really good in my kitchen. It is surprising how much can be fitted in the pot for bigger occasion. The only small downside is the moisture when fast cooking but just need to remember to keep the lid open a little as per the instructions! I have cooked so many amazing meals from stews and casseroles to joints of meat to spare ribs to puds.

Pros: All in one pan, So simple to use
Cons: Slightly too small

Being a working Mum I find a slowcooker indispensable, everything thrown into one pan before I leave in the morning and come home to a perfectly cooked meal. Because I can seal the meat in the flavour savour first theres not even an extra pan to use, add all the other ingredients and then leave all day to slow cook or stew for quicker cooking. I have cooked stews, casseroles, soups, legs of lamb, a whole chicken and even bolognese. My only downside is that I would have been better with the larger size for a family of 4 including 2 teenage boys. The base sits inside the pot and all slides away quite easily into a cupboard or looks good left out on the kitchen side.

PAB, Derbyshire

Pros: Good for families, Multi purpose
Cons: Have to drain off fat

I have used this product for a few months. When we have friends with kids over this is certainly big enough for a big meal. We use it to cook multiple days worth of food and freeze the extra. You have to be careful when you cook to ensure it does have enough liquid in it otherwise the food can stick on the bottom.

Great for chillis, casseroles and the like. When you brown meats I always drain the fat off first though.

This is not the product for you if you are cooking for two but anyone with a family will love this.

Pros: Clear instructions, Easy to keep clean, Modern styling
Cons: Quite Heavy when Lifting
Best Uses: Slow Cooker

Mostly using it as a slow cooker for the main family meals. We all arrive home at different times and having our meals cooking throughout the day is great.

sjm, St Albans

Pros: Looks great, Seal function excellent
Cons: Spitting on fast cook
Best Uses: Casseroles, Stews
 
Great for casseroles and stews especially with the seal option. I experienced some spitting when using the fast cooking function so it ended up on the draining board when used for this. Looks good and very easy to clean.

twinmummy1, Essex

Pros: Easy to use, Large size for families, Looks great, One pot cooking, Several functions, Very easy to clean
Cons: Can spit when simmering

The easiest, most versatile slow cooker that I have had :-)

Base stores within the pan so it doesn’t take up too much cupboard space but looks good enough to have out on the worktop all the time if you wish.

I use it mostly for casseroles and soups and love the fact that it can be cooked from start to finish in this pan — the browning function is inspired!

Only gripe is that when using it on the simmer function the lid lifts with the steam and it can spit — easily remedied by putting the lid on leaving a small space for steam to escape as you would with a saucepan on the hob.  I love it and use it almost daily!!

B HOTWHEELS, Suffolk

Pros: Glides so easy, Good long lead, Great weight, Ironed items look super, Love this iron
Best Uses: All

A SUPER IRON, ALL YOU WOULD WANT.

Hazey 13, Suffolk

Pros: Looks modern, Looks Stylish, Not over expensive
Best Uses: All ironing

I use it for all my ironing needs. I even do my husbands suit trousers with it.
It is easy to pour the water into without pouring all over the ironing board

Looks a little heavy but is not.
Not too light.

The steam functions are great and even get heavy creased really dry linen smooth

I have carpal tunnel and it does not cause me any pain when ironing.
