Duracell Plus Batteries AA 20 Pack

from: Duracell


I like to listen to audio cassettes on my walkman and Duracell batteries are the longest lasting I have used. No more going from shop to shop to find the best deal, ordered from Amazon from the comfort of my settee and delivered a few days later. I have also purchased a battery tester and that paid for itself already. A battery that has a bit of life left in it can be used for a clock. My local council has a collection bin for used batteries, so... save money, save time, save the environment.

Duracell Plus AA Batteries x 12

from: Duracell


Anyone looking for some good, hardy, solid batteries that will go a long way need look no further. These are some of the most advanced non-rechargeable batteries on the market [hence the price tag]. They can withstand just about anything that you can put them through and continue working even after having been crushed, mangled, run over or put under water for a long peroid of time. The full-body closed metal covering prevents leakadge in or out of the battery and insures safety for the user and others around. I have a power-guzzling digital camera, but even so these batteries last for at least 2x as long as cheepie ones in it; [really - more than twice as long, I`m not kidding]. So for anyone out there in need of some good batteries - get these ... Read More:

Cole & Mason Stainless Steel Electronic Peppermill with Light

from: DKB Household UK Limited


I bought one of these 9 months ago and like the title says its alright but not great. We do use it on a daily basis as we cook a lot and are already on our third set of batteries. This might not sound a lot but it has 6 batteries in. I feel it could have done without the light as to me its pointless. I never cook in the dark. It also doesnt grate quickly enough for my liking (probably why we have used so many batteries). If you have people around to dinner then I think it would be a nice addition to a dinner table and a whimsical talking point, however as a serious kitchen gadget it just doesnt work.

Duracell Plus Batteries 9V 2 Pack

from: Duracell


I really have noticed that duracell 9 volt batteries last longer and provide more of a shock to my tounge than most 9 volt batteries. They are also hardwearing, not that this is particularly important for a battery, but there are some cheap ones that break basically from falling on the floor! These batteries managed to power a range of electrical appliances in my house, and that is all I`m asking of them. Let`s face it: batteries are basic, and with these ones perfection is almost there. The only reason I gave them 4 stars instead of 5 was because they are not rechargable - simple as that. Mind you, I wouldn`t spent too much effort trying to buy these online - most good convenience stores stock these, and deffinatley all hardwear shops, so if I ... Read More:

Robopet

from: Character Options

August 31, 2005
This is fun and cheap enough to risk with younger (but not infant) children.

Although most of this range of robot type toys have some level of programmability, the most fun is usually to be had letting them wander around in "auto" mode. In all cases, a clear uncluttered surface is very preferable. As is a non slippy one. Some exceptionally smooth tiles, for example, can confuse this sort of toy.

This was fun and the kids took longer than five minutes to get bored. However, if you have the time and money I would prefer Roboquad (please see my review thereof) over Robopet.

LED Lenser Police Tech Focus Torch Black

from: LED Lenser

October 01, 2008
I used to carry a 3-cell maglite and a mini-maglite for work - not any more.
If you can get one the brightness of a large 3-cell torch in the size of a pocket, why have two?!
This torch is about twice the width of the mini-maglite, but the same length - so it still fits well on your belt. (even with a leatherman.)
The big plus is I can get rid of both maglites.
It's not cheap - but it's worth the money.

True Utility - TU80 - 21 LED Compact Truelite - Dark Silver

from: True Utility Ltd


Buy at your own risk! It seems that there is no consistency to the quality of these torches: some customers seem quite happy with the particular one they received while others find that they don't work at all. Unfortunately I found myself in the latter category.
