You may or may not have heard of The Gadget Show, a Channel 5 magazine show that delights in all things, well, gadgety, funnily enough. It’s an agreeable watch, something to chuck on just as you’ve got home from work and need to relax for half an hour. Indeed, it’s Wikipedia page states that ‘it aims to give enough information for the more “geeky” or knowledgeable audience, but still making it accessible to the more casual viewer’, and I’d say that it fulfils that remit admirably.

Prepping for Summer

April 5, 2011 | Gardening Tips | No comments

In case you haven’t noticed, we’ve been going a bit garden crazy over the last couple of weeks. It’s that wonderful time of year when it seems like the summer is just around the corner (at least when it isn’t raining). Getting your garden ready for the coming months of barbecues and the sun being out ’til 10 at night is something that makes us eSpares types pretty excited. Hence, like I said, the recent glut of garden videos.

Last week, much like most weeks, we shot some new How-To videos. However last week, unlike any other week, we decided to go for a slightly more off kilter subject – we shot some videos for the Flymo GardenVac 1600 Plus.

How to Get the Perfect Lawn

British Summer Time began yesterday. Whilst it meant that the past weekend was the shortest of the year, it also means that spring has well and truly sprung and gardening is firmly back on the agenda. Hopefully when you look out of your back door you now see not a murky and forbidding brown and off-green space, but a slightly unkempt patch brimming with possibility.

Don't Suffer Reduction in Suction

If you’re anything like me, an unvacuumed carpet doesn’t make you feel good. Seriously. If my living room floor has bits all over it, I simply would not be able to sit down in there. I just think it’s gross. As you’d expect then, my vacuum cleaner is a highly valued appliance at my place.

We got a fantastic email toward the end of last week from one Dave Reeves, DipEE, MIET. Dave’s a customer of ours, coming to his son’s rescue when his fridge wasn’t cooling. I’ll leave you with his thorough, detailed and particularly helpful walk through on repairing the fridge.

Valves. Not Just for Plumbers!

Another day, another most requested video. We had a lot of people writing in and asking for a video on how to replace the inlet valve in a washing machine. Inlet valves tend to become damaged after a bout of cold – water can freeze inside them, causing them to crack.

A Broken Cooker Arrives…

Check out this video, friends. You’ll see that even if your cooker loks worn out, it doesn’t mean it has to be destined for the scrapheap. All it can take is a couple of fix-its, and you can have your oven looking like new again.

Kitchen of the Future

I’ve seen the future, and it’s malleable and amorphous. Electrolux, the Swedish proprietors of all things appliance, run a ‘Design Lab’ every year, with the brief “to specifically seek solutions that address how people prepare food, clean and do dishes both within the home and beyond”.
