What you get

The reviewer was astounded at just how much you could tailor the Jura Z5 Generation 11 Automatic Coffee machine to suit your needs.  Pretty much any weird tastes in coffee can be saved to a button and one press after that always gets you what you want with either 1 or 2 cups. 

The reviewer?  Yep that’s me! 

The Jura Z5 arrived on 15 January 2010 and we have been putting it through some of its many features.  So far our initial assessment comment has been little short of astounding.  Our intention is to check features that may be controversial or complicated and on how well they operate.  We will also take into consideration any comments, whether they be positive, negative or otherwise that we have read previously on this machine and either dispel or endorse pros and cons alike. 

 In the first day we went though 8 litres of milk testing the Cappuccino side and still had many more programmable features and coffee specialities to go.(latte macchiato, ristretti, expressi, or cafés crème coffees)

Breville BBM600 Breadmaker

Making bread with an electric bread-maker sounds easy, but when it comes to making gluten free bread I can assure you that it is a totally different world and anyone in that world would appreciate the difficulties experienced.  Since being diagnosed with Coeliac Disease some two years ago, I have tried numerous gluten free bread recipes, mostly with little success.

My old electric bread-maker claimed to be able to make gluten free bread, but after dozens of hard, solid little “bricks” being produced, I totally gave up on using the bread-maker and reverted to the conventional oven baked method.  However, after using the latest Breville ikon Baker’s Oven BBM600 Bread-maker for the very first time, I have been converted into believing that technology really can vary immensely.  My first loaf was a delight.

HDi Dune BD Prime 3.0

With the sheer number of Network Media Players on the market today, manufacturers are increasingly looking to find a clever angle to distinguish their products from the others. In putting a Blu-Ray drive inside the BD Prime 3.0, HDi Dune's angle is more of a convergence. A convergence of everything HD.

Tegatech_TP10

You may know Tegatech as the key distributor and seller of UMPCs and ruggedised tablet PCs to list a few of their niche products. And you may know them from previous reviews we've done, like the MediSlate and the Ruvo Avox.

This time Tegatech has used their expertise to develop their own device. It is a 10.2" Tablet PC with built-in 3G modem and they are calling it TEGA.
They worked with the Chinese manufacturer to develop an Australianised Tablet PC by adapting firmware and the touchscreen to suit our climate.

We've played with it for a some time now and already come to the conclusion that this is a very handsome and handy device with plenty of potential uses.

Hang on for our in-depth take on this tablet and see how our findings pan out.

ProNav_PNN_300 in the Box

This SatNav is specifically aimed at the professional truckies or anyone driving an oversized vehicle where it is important to know which roads, bridges and tunnels you can safely negotiate with your rig.  And, just as important, you need to know where all the truck stops are. 

So how does the ProNav PNN-300, which comes in at a hefty AUD 799, fare in the heavyweight league?

Let's belt up and find out.

Breville BBM 600 Bread maker

Don’t you just love the smell of fresh baking bread?  Well, the DigitalReviews office will be in for a treat as we put the “top of the line” BBM600 breadmaker though an extensive test in making a series of different types of bread.

The BBM600, according to www.Breville.com.au, has an automatic programme for making a Gluten Free loaf required by people with Coeliac Disease so we will be definitely trialling that as well.

This Breville bread maker has all sorts of cooking capabilities and we will be putting it though the rigours of baking at home, with corresponding comments as we review its functionality, fit for purpose and the success of the end product.
