Advantages: Extremely small, lightweight and easy to use Disadvantages: Nothing that can not be overcome easily
This is the first of two products in the Samsonite Travel Cot range and it leads on to the Samsonite Pop Up Bubble Travel Cot (which I have also reviewed). It is a brilliant, pioneering product and was the first of its kind on the market when I bought it while still pregnant with my first child in 2003/04.
The Samsonite Pop Up Travel Cot is available in three colours - pink and blue in the standard model and stone in the deluxe model. The standard models are made of cotton and nylon, although the baby only lies on cotton, with the main outer body being made of the easily cleaned nylon while the deluxe model is all cotton except the nylon mosquito net - this does seem to make it slightly cooler but more difficult to clean any stains.
I chose this travel cot over more traditional ones based purely on it's size when folded up ...
Advantages: It cleans what it is supposed to Disadvantages: Poor design and quality
I've owned this carpet cleaner with upholstery attachment for nearly exactly two years, when purchased it was on offer at £69.99, currently £81.74 (RRP £149.99)at amazon. The first and probably most important thing I would say about this cleaner is don't pay £149.99 or you may be disappointed. At a lower price this cleaner was a good alternative to me to hiring a carpet cleaner - at the time I was moving out of a rental house and into my own house and so wanted to clean all the carptets myself, and this as I shall explain, the cleaner was able to do successfully, though I have a few reservations about this product, even at a lower price.

The Vax VO26 came in quite a compact box. The first task on opening the box is actually to assemble the cleaner. Now call me fussy but for an item with "deluxe ...
Advantages: Situated in a nice area, really friendly staff, basic apartment Disadvantages: Nothing too special about it, wouldn't go back.
I booked up with Thomson to go to Turkey from London Stansted to Dalaman and to stay at Samira Deluxe Apartment with my other half. It cost us about £750 altogether for one week at the end of June, which I think is OK for a holiday these days.
The apartments are 2 hours drive away from Dalaman airport, which some people think is quite a long time; but it didn't seem too long because we were just so tired as we landed at about 1am. We got to the apartments at about 3am. Walking into the reception; it was horrible. Everywhere was covered in moths because they kept all the doors open and all the lights on. They were absolutely everywhere. We were shown to our room and found that we had twin beds that couldn't be moved together and we were both too tired to complain about it, so we both went to bed.
Waking up, we went to our extremely ...
