This fan is the whole enchilada. Very easy to install and very quiet
also. A faint hum as with any fan but no rattles or clicking noises. For
small to medium size rooms, you won't find a better fan. Candleabra
bulbs are not an issue nor is the airflow. Why on earth you would pay
more for a fan is beyond me, as this one totally fits the bill.
Seriously.
Update... Here it is a year+ later and we are getting
two more of these fans. Very happy with the one we have and expect the
same performance from the new ones. If there are problems with noise, it
was installed wrong, and if the globes rattle, well, duh!! Fix it with
shims or tighten the screws all the way. As for the candleabra bulbs, I
don't see the problem, but that's just me. Still a five star purchase.
I purchased three of these fans for my kid's rooms in our new home. I
replaced the standard nickel finish lights that came with the house.
These fans look great. They provide more than enough air for all of the
rooms (and one is rather large). As far as the bulbs are concerned,
the small bulbs work fine. I use 40 watt not 60. Three 40 watt bulbs
provides 120 watts of light which is more than enough. My only
complaint is that the white side of the blades look funky so I used the
wood side in all the rooms. These fans may not be the best but to get
three for under $140...you just can't beat that!
Only had a light fixture in the bedroom and wanted a bit of air flow
while sleeping. Have a low ceiling and this fan is perfect. Give's
good light and is very complimentary looking to the bedroom. Is very
quiet, even on high. Recommend.

Bathroom Sink Double Hole Chrome Brass Single Handle Basin Faucet Mixer Tap
I bought this tap to replace two separate taps on a corner basin with
100mm spacing between centers. This mixer and the old taps both have
standard 1/2" threads (19mm outside diameter of thread, connected to
15mm diameter pipes via pushfit adapters). The hot water tap was always
too hot and had seized up through lack of use. This solution has been
much easier and cheaper than replacing the whole basin with a single
hole version for a standard mixer tap.
If the plumbing had been more flexible I could have just lifted the old taps out and fitted this in place but because the nuts holding the old taps in place could not be undone without removing the pipes first, I had to cut the old pipes off with a pipe cutter and fit flexible tap connectors instead. Two flexible tap connectors (15mmx1/2"x300mm with valve) plus a pipe cutter came to about £10 from Screwfix so it was worth doing anyway just to add shutoff valves.
As to other reviewer's concerns, this product was "fulfilled by Amazon" so it came in a couple of days from Europe somewhere and was well packed. This tap did cover the old holes but only just, plenty of bathroom sealant is required to fill any gaps and stop it moving around.
Only the words "JIE LONG" etched into the top of the tap remind you that this product came from Singapore and it may need to go back there if it's not "fulfilled by Amazon".

Chezmoi Collection White Goose Down Alternative Comforter, Full/Queen with Corner Tab
This is a fine comforter, super soft and fluffy but not too hot at night.
I especially like the price was not high but don't let that low price fool you, this is very nicely made, and high quality. I am comparing it to both a 'down' and another 'down alternative' comforter which I also own. "Down" is difficult to clean and expensive as it has to be dry-cleaned, this one is warm and cozy and light. We'll see how it holds up in the wash and dry. It also arrived quickly.
Based on the review by Lisa, I purchased this comforter to replace the down comforter I ruined in the washing machine. :(
After only minutes under this blanket I could not believe how wonderfully warm it was! It wasn't too heavy but seemed to keep me warm much better than the actual down comforter had.
My husband has to sleep with a fan on - no matter the weather - and I am not always a 'fan', pun intended. Plus we usually used two additional quilts on top of the down comforter. Not so with this one. This blanket allows for me to stay warm while he enjoys his fan. No more trying to compromise "who gets to be comfortable tonight" :D And no more needing additional blankets to get comfortable at night.
Plus, this item can be washed in the washing machine rather than being dry-cleaned ((oops, I suppose I should have checked my down comforter before I tossed it in the wash)) but isn't as bulky as a down one so it doesn't fill the washing machine so awkwardly, like the fuller one, often throwing it off balance.
I have yet to see any negative about this item. I would highly recommend it!

Blue Ocean 52" Aluminum SPA392M Shower Panel Tower with Rainfall Shower Head, 8 Multi-functional Nozzles
This unit is wonderful! The rain shower head is large enough that you
don't have to move around to get good and soaked. The handheld shower
has all of the great features of a standalone shower including a
pulsating massage setting for that sore spot on the top of your
shoulder. The 8 massage jets are adjustable in their spray (light mist
to high powered jet), as well as the directional adjustment to aim the
water where the user wants it.
The installation instructions are minimal. Although it is an easy install this company could greatly improve by including information on the suggested height and distance apart of the water lines. I kept reading the reviews and instructions that this unit "hooks up to standard plumbing". 1/2" pipes are standard plumbing. But standard bathtub plumbing consists of the hot and cold lines 8" apart and within a few inches above the tub. To install this shower panel in a bathroom that has standard bathtub plumbing one needs to move the water pipes up about 20 inches and closer together. It is also advisable to measure and plan for the top jets to hit the user at the shoulders. Better communication of this information through improved installation instructions would be my only suggestion to the company to improve this product.
Great shower. Only wish you could use multiple fuctions together. Other than that it is very nice and looks awesome. Love the rain head and the mirror panel. Great buy.

Royal Canin German Shepherd Junior 30 Dry Mix 12 kg
When we returned home with our German Shepherd Pup we were very
concerned as he developed awful diahorrea. The vet recommended boiled
chicken, rice or pasta but this did not work as all it did was fill him
with gas and we ended up at the emergency vets with him in a great deal
of pain. She then recommended Royal Canin and we have never looked
back. He woofs it down, mixed with a small amount of tinned puppy meat.
He has the most beautiful coat and is full of energy (perhaps too
much!!)
I would recommend this product to any German Shepherd puppy owner.
My German Sheperd puppy struggled with this for 3 weeks. But I'm glad we persisted. He loves it now. He looks extremly healthy
the fur is great and the stool is firm and easy to clean. Thoroughly recommended.

Panasonic Smart VIERA TX-L37E30B 37-inch Full HD 1080p 100Hz Internet-Ready LED TV with Freeview HD
led has the edge on any other type of tv before it,all movies look as
they should,infact with this one you feel like part of the film
crew,it`s so real,100hz great for dvd and blu ray no judder or
ghosting,no big deal on broadcast tv as most is put out on 50hz,freeview
hd?,well this unit so good at showing standard freeview,hard to see
anything better,need to play around with colour,brightness,contrast etc
for best results,sound is ok,but who wants to watch a high end blu ray
disc without a surround amp,save up your dosh,and buy this great tv,do
not buy any 3rd rate supermarket tv`s,or you will wish you had kept your
old crt,5 star plus for panasonic,oh and forget 3d that is just a
passing phase,and please everyone do not use vhs tapes to view on these
tv`s or substandard dvd-r copies as these tv`s are unforgiving on low
grade source`s of non highdef material ,if you pay for top of the
range,use the best widescreen dvd`s and if possible blu ray.And another
thing we use a 25-30 year old set top aerial which is up in the
loft,this led picks up the signal perfect,never any picture problems in
all this time,where as the old lcd had picture breakup often,so can you
get a better endorsement than that.It may not have all the latest
features,but for watching movies on dvd/blu ray,this is the best tv
around,37 inch just right size for most peoples viewing room.

HP Pavilion DV6-3180EA 15.6" Laptop (Intel Core i7-720QM 1.6GHz, 4GB RAM, 500GB HDD, Bluetooth, Webcam, Win 7 Home Prem 64-bit, Fingerprint reader)
I got this laptop about 6 months ago and since then it has really shined
in the amount of performance it can pump out. Whilst it says 1.6GHz, it
actually goes up to 2.8GHz under load, making it more powerful than a
lot of desktops around. Additionally to this, the graphics card in this
laptop are incredibly powerful. You don't normally find cards like this
in mobile platforms. The battery life is good, but not great, and the
battery cable is plenty long! It gets hot when under load, but this a
problem across most laptops, but crucially, it doesn't get hot enough to
burn your palms on this beautiful aluminium case!
the touchpad is a little stiff, but you get used to it very quickly.
It's a stylish package, with a HP logo that goes between being a mirror or a light depending on whether your laptop is on.
There are plenty of ports including HDMI and eSATA as well as a card reader.
The processor is a quad core, hyperthreaded (so it behaves like an 8 core) i7 and the graphics are DX11.
Brilliant laptop, only complaint is that it goes through battery quickly under load! (but you can slow the system down with power saver mode to stretch that time)
Good for uni/gaming/multimedia.

Western Digital My Passport 2TB Portable Hard Drive - Black
I'm a long time fan of Western Digital drives. Not everyone likes the
passport design but I find them visually appealing and chunky in a way
that reassures of their quality. I already own a 0.350Tb passport drive
as well as various myBook drives too and I've always found them reliable
and long lasting. From my, admittedly, short ownership period of this
one, I see no reason to doubt its build quality and eventual longevity.
I use my passport drives as my portable backup and bulk storage for media and various virtual machines. I've not had it long enough to make a definitive opinion of its performance, the USB3.0 connectors make a big difference of course but it definitely feels a lot faster than the older drives I have with stable transfer of very large files done in about third the time I'd expected. The performance is also good enough for me to run virtual machines straight off the drive rather than having to copy them back to the local drive.
Hard to say more really, it's a good looking, has vast capacity and is top notch piece of kit. Note the back-up software and advanced drivers, if you are using them, are not on a separate CD/DVD, they're on the drive itself, a useful point to note just in case you spend 20 minutes searching the place looking for it in vain like I did.
