Attractive and well made, 1 Jan 2013

I have a talent for destroying watches - mine usually last about 9 months. I decided to look for something a bit more solid and this Rotary watch fit the bill nicely. A year on, the ceramic still has a beautiful shine and the crystal watch face is unscratched. The watch keeps good time and the date and luminous hands are useful features.

The watch gets 4 stars rather than 5 because the bracelet is a bit too big for a women's watch. I'm a fairly average sized woman - 5'5" and a size 10 - 12.

Effective and easy to use, 21 May 2012

I got fed up of the expense and hassle of waxing so decided to get an epilator. A friend recommended this model, which I have now been using for 5 months. It's been a great purchase and I'm very happy with it.

These silicoln pods are easy to use and simple to clean: simply coat the inside with a little oil, break an egg into the pod, place in a saucepad containing about 1in of boiling water, put the lid on and simmer. It takes a little trial and error to figure out how long to leave the egg for. I tend to wait about 4 minutes and this gives me a nice runny yolk.

The pods are easy to use and to clean. Definitely a product I'd recommend. They get 4 stars rather than five because it's a bit fiddly to get the pod out of the saucepan and tip the egg out onto my toast. Still much better than traditional alternatives though.
