.OMRON M10-IT UPPER ARM AUTO BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR
City Travel Guides > Kitchen & Housewares > Kitchen and Housewares
from: OMRON


This is a quite sophisticated device but it's very easy to use. It stores readings for two people and it can calculate weekly averages (up to 7 weeks) for each person. If you just want a quick reading you can use it as a "guest" and the reading is not added to its records. It can do an automatic triple-reading where it takes your blood pressure three times separated by an interval (eg 60 seconds, although you can change this) - after the three readings it reports the average. If you want you can connect it to your PC and install the supplied software. Then you can store your ratings online.

The one disadvantage of the machine is that it is VERY easy to switch on, even when getting it in or out of its supplied bag. It's a small ... Read More:

.Morphy Richards 48719 Oval Slow Cooker Cream 3.5L
City Travel Guides > Kitchen & Housewares > Kitchen and Housewares
from: Morphy Richards


I was looking for a bigger slow cooker than the 2 litre one I already had. (My USA slow cooker book recommended a larger one so that you could cook for the freezer.) Well this one seemed twice the size - but it's still not what I'd call big. What I'd recommend you do is to fill a suacepan with water and measure what 3.5 litres actually looks like and whether you need an even bigger one. In this cooker 3.5 litres is nearly to the top of the bowl and some recipes can be a bit bulky until they have cooked a while. This one might be fine for a family of four or as one of a pair (you'll soon realise that two slow cookers is what you'll need for a dinner and a pudding or extra side dishes).

So I got the size a bit wrong - but everything else ... Read More:

.Eco Kettle
City Travel Guides > Kitchen & Housewares > Kitchen and Housewares
from: Product Creation


I was extremely disappointed by this kettle. A healthly adult may not find it too much trouble to operate, but for children, the disabled and elderly it is useless. My mum couldn't work out how to use it at all.

The kettle is very HEAVY. Empty it weighs in at 1.3 Kg which is TWICE the weight of an ordinary kettle. The lid is awkward to open and the shape makes it difficult to fill. The small ON light is impossible to see from most angles. The valve release requires too much pressure for less able people to use. The spout I didn't like either. I was never confident when and where the boiling water was going to go.

The on switch has failed after 2 months of light use. This switch is badly designed and relies on springs which are likely ... Read More:

.George Foreman 10099 GR30 Big George with sloped grill design and Variable Temperature - cooks up to 6 portions
City Travel Guides > Kitchen & Housewares > Kitchen and Housewares
from: SALTON EUROPE LTD

March 18, 2003
Normally I tend to confine my reviews to items of the literary kind, but as I can't really be bothered with another book review at the moment (and because I bought this grill from Amazon recently) I thought I'd turn my critical eye on the Big George.

This is my first real experience with health grills, and overall I'd have to say I'm quite impressed. The grilling area heats up quickly and is big enough to fit plenty of burgers on, making it a handy backup if you've invited all your friends over for a BBQ but the weather isn't cooperating. The unit feels solid and durable, though the temperature control seems unusually delicate, as if it doesn't really do anything. The controls are simple and easy to use, even if the timer is rather superfluous since ... Read More:

.Philips HR2094 Aluminium Chrome/Black Liquidiser 750w
City Travel Guides > Kitchen & Housewares > Kitchen and Housewares
from: Philips


I have purchased 2 of these from Amazon. Both times the gear mechanism that connects between the jug and the base unit shattered when I blended ice. It's made of plastic and isn't robust enough to cope. Other blenders connect in the same way but use metal fixings. It's a great blender but you have to be careful not to challenge it too much.
