My Hp Pavilion dv6 note book is now 11 years old.
Although the hard drive is slow due to age, it has been reliable.
The motherboard failed within the first year hence the 4 stars. This was replaced free under the warranty.
I have increased the sd ram but I will fit a SSD hard drive soon, hopefully getting many more years from it.
When the time comes for a replacement, I will purchase the same model . Very good value for the price.

My energy account with Bulb went over to Octopus, and the transfer was seemless and efficient. The Information was there from the start, and my new home page was easy to navigate and showed all the information I needed .
The Octopus team keep me updated constantly with e mails , showing how my account is doing
Great work guys.

I bought my second pair of Berghaus mens Expeditor walking boots. My first pair are now my gardening boots, as the sole is fairly worn.
The first pair did a lot of miles, and felt really comfortable. Grip was excellent, hard wearing and warm in winter.
The downside , both sets of boots leaked water around the toes, albeit during heavier rain but not torrential. These are advertised as waterproof.
The top of my feet were dry, so water ingress is around the seam.
I find it difficult to understand with modern technology and materials how boots are not waterproof.
The overall rating is four stars, as they represent good value, longevity, grip and style . Would I buy again? probably for the value alone.

I have been using Motorworks for years now, and the response has always been great, most items delivered within 48 hours. My 2015 R1200RT has improved a lot at low speed thanks to a Power Booster Motorworks supplied. Much nicer around town now. Thanks guys

I recently bought a VAX Air Stretch Pet CCQSASV1P1 Bagless Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner . This replaced an old 2000 watt vax hoover which we had for over 12 years. Firstly, this is not an expensive hoover so I expected some negative aspects with it.
First, the main flexi hose is a little too short, as is the power cord. The rewind system is poor, another turn on the spring would have made it return fully.
The biggest bugbear is having to hold the bottom of the dust collector as you remove it from the hoover body.
If you dont, the latch will catch and dump the contents as you lift the unit off .
The indent on the extending metal pipe is stiff to use.
None of the faults listed above were an issue on my old hoover, perhaps Vax have stopped testing their products...pretty poor really.
Good points. Obviously cost,
Good suction and it picks up all the dog hairs very effectively.
Emptying the collector unit is easy, as is access to the two Heppa filters
The Hoover is fairly light easy to manouvre around the house.
All of the above means three and a half stars.

Bought a Cordoba C12 Spruce online and received it the next day.
Guitar was well packaged and marked as fragile.
Came with the Cordoba Humi case which was nice.
The sound is amazing and LOUD>>>
This takes some getting used to, playing softly and then putting a little
more effort onto the strings and BOOM.. it is like an amplifier being
plugged in.
The spruce top sound is much brighter , but keeping your hand next to the sound hole gives a more mellow sound.
Came with Savarez strings, hard tension I believe, the action is good,
but I will get her set up properly when the current situation
is over.
The guitar is great value for the sound it produces.
Lovely finish on the instrument, and I cannot imagine I will ever outgrow it.
Thanks guys, great service.

I made a mistake in ordering the wrong size visor and pinlock.
The Visor shop was very helpful and although it was my mistake, they have been so helpful in sending the the correct size visor, with the pinlock fitted for me
Excellent customer service. Thanks very much
Thanks guys

I ordered a sat nav but wasn't told until four days later that their supplier had let them down. Bit miffed to say the least
To their credit they sent an upgraded model with next day delivery so on balance four stars . Have used Sportsbike before with excellent service
