Lots of info & 2500 reviews here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/UniBond-1807937-Aero-360-Moisture-Absorber/dp/B00F1DNYPE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1454320173&sr=8-1&keywords=unibond+aero+360

The unibond aero 360 is using calcium chloride too (the safety data sheet reveals this, the advertising made me think it was some other mechanism doing it). It seems to me its just a nicer and cleaner looking version of the other ones. When the crystals are full of liquid they over saturate and it looks like a pool of water. I imagine the unibond one just has the crystals suspended and water drips off into the collection thing below.

The negative reviews say the replacement tablets it needs are expensive.

Warning

They are selling a HDMI to VGA cable. I got one on the off-chance it wasn't what I thought it was.

It this only works with certain video cards, ones that you don't have.

Why would you need one in the first place ?
If you run out of HDMI ports on your TV you could use VGA+Audio and still get the same resolution.

You can buy HDMI to VGA converters with electronics in them for about €8 from China, just check that they have audio output if you need it, handy for old TV's.

I have an older TV which only has/had 1 HDMI port. I still want to plug a HDMI lead in somewhere/somehow, would this do the job somehow?

There are HDMI splitter things. So you have a lead going into the tv with a box on the end with 2+ sockets to plug your cables into. I think some have their own remotes, otherwise you have to physically switch the box, but its far more accessible than trying to put the cable in each time.

If you are trying to connect HDMI to scart or vga/component inputs on the tv I would expect a big drop in quality vs going to the proper HDMI socket, unless it was a very expensive one.

they certainly extract water from the air, what impact they have on overall humidity I don't know. As the granules absorb the water they eventually dissolve so you're just left with a container of opaque liquid, which you then throw out.

This is a higher spec reusable version of the same idea:
http://www.woodiesdiy.com/Product/unibond-aero-360-pure-humidity-device/21347/11

In an enclosed space with low level of airchange like a rarely opened cupboard, caravan in winter, wardrobe etc. it can be effective.

In an occupied area of a house it will have a completely negligible effect. An average person asleep produces 300ml of water through breathing in 8 hours.

A four or five person household produces 10-15l per day through breathing, cooking, cleaning, bathing, dish washing and clothes washing. 1

Yea still worth it 4 for 1.49

Edit - they are 300g tins

300g sounds like a good size. A full tin is too much for me, and the half is too small.

Tesco have several heinz ones on offer right now, but dealz is still by far the cheapest per kilo.

If you only have one HDMI then there are cheap and nasty switches

or if you have a VGA input then try HDMI to VGA and Audio - YMMV

Does anyone know if Dealz stock Lindt chocolate?

There website doesnt show it, but it only shows a limited selection anyway.

Lidl used to do it a few years back but nit now apparently.

snubbleste · 03-02-2016 5:45pm

No. I think I saw a Lindt easter bunny last year

Never in my life have I heard a receipt called a "tillspit"!

Wha, like never, never ever?
It's when a till issues a coupon, points or other offer. It spits it out so to speak.

the €1.50 means you can now just get 12 standard items to reach €18.

You would need to get 6 standard items to get to €9 and get the €3 off. So its like €3 off a spend of €27, or ~11% off.

Though there are more and more items at €2 and different prices now, in which case you could spend just €26

snubbleste · 09-05-2016 6:16pm

Does anyone know if these are the same memory foam insoles as the €1.50 in Dealz? They look the same, anyone bought them?

Molds to your feet for comfort
One size fits all, simply cut down the insole to fit your shoe size
Relives pressure on the ball of your foot, bunions, swollen feet and joints
Increases your stability by cradling your foot and preventing foot roll

In reality they are a load of boll*x...like all insoles....and like their €1.50 kite that doesn't fly.

The hard insoles I was told about by a doctor work for me, I used to get terrible blisters and pains in my feet after walking for a few hours, I still get some pain but nowhere near as much now.

If you have pain in your feet from walking get a scan and orthotics, cost about €300 but last years (wife swears by them)
The things on dealz are a waste of time

Sorry that's what I meant, my mistake! I was lucky enough that I didn't need custom ones made.

I had similar insoles to these, think I bought them in Dealz actually and they're rubbish, they are just foam that flattens out pretty fast, don't mould anyways

Tazz T · 11-05-2016 8:54am

If you don't have 300 lying to spend on a pair of custom insoles, I find some of the 'professional' insoles that turn up in Lidl for a fiver or sometime reduced in Mountain Warehouse (normally around 17) to be great. Really do make a big difference when it comes to comfort and alleviating sore feet syndrome.

Look up Orthotic Insoles on fleabay, I got some super ones for about 10 sterling, I had foot pain that disappeared when I fitted these.
They are Not soft but are moulded to the shape that your sole should be at. They are surprisingly comfortable.

Currently selling lightweight cabin size trolley case for €10. 1.5kg is about as lightweight as you'll get for a trolley case. Quality is better than you might expect for €10. Selling fast.
