Be fashionable in 2012

Thursday, January 12th, 2012

According to the website adesignerspot.com colour is big for interiors in 2012;

“This year, we should all embrace colors that we wouldn’t normally associate, combine intense shades with balancing tones and think out of the box, giving our home a brand new personality. Dare to celebrate neon shades, using fluorescent green, yellow or pink, delivering thus new accent elements to your freshly decorated interior”

(www.adesignerspot.com 05/01/2012)

This got me thinking about how we can bring colour into our homes without tearing off the existing wallpaper, and painting the walls in clashing colours – can you imagine the headache – and I hit on the perfect conclusion…Coloured appliances and electricals.

Here at Go-Electrical we have a range of ‘Retro’ refrigerators that are available in some amazing colours. Whether it be a Gorenje or a Smeg, there is a fridge, or fridge freezer to match every budget and colour palette whether it be blue, pink or even candy striped (Smeg FAB28QCS £1279.90).

We also stock a fabulous range of Dualit toasters which are available in over 15 different colours. From a 2 slice Vario to a massive, family sized 6 slice toaster, Dualit should be the first port of call if you need a new toaster. Every part of the iconic appliances are replaceable which means your Dualit toaster could outlive you (grim thought, sorry!) and with Swiss-made timers used on every model you can expect nothing but reliable performance and perfect toast time after time.

To add a splash of colour to your kitchen and be in with the ‘cool crowd’ why not spend your hard earned cash (or Christmas money) on a KitchenAid Artisan Stand mixer? If you saw any of the lifestyle programs on TV last year, such as ‘The Great British Bake Off’, ‘Saturday Kitchen’ and ‘Kirstie’s Handmade Britain’ you couldn’t miss the KitchenAid mixer being used, or casually positioned in the background shots. This prominence in the media has made the mixers extremely sought after, and some colours sell out almost instantly. The mixers are available in over 25 colours, and open up endless possibilities in the kitchen because of the amazing range of accessories that are available for them. Homemade pasta anyone?

Even music lovers do not have to miss out on adding a bit of colour to their homes. PURE and Roberts Radio both make portable radios in a range of colours. The PURE Evoke Mio DAB/FM model is available in Teal, Lava, Cherry and Grape, while there is over 15 colours of Roberts RD60 Revival radios to choose from including a Union Jack print. Sounds cool to me.

Hopefully, this has convinced you that you don’t need to redecorate your whole house to be in with the fashionable crowd in 2012. Why not explore the Go-Electrical website further to see what else you can find in some lovely bright colours?

Roberts Radio new additions

Wednesday, December 7th, 2011

There are a few Roberts Radio products that are new to Go-Electrical, so I’m going to fill you in with all the details of our favourites, as both would make great Christmas gifts.

The Vintage is a DAB radio which, like the Revival range, has a retro look about it – it is finished in black leatherette cloth and has wood effect side panels, and features two dials on the top (for volume and tuning). Just because it looks a bit vintage, doesn’t mean you have to compromise on modern technology though. You can enjoy unlimited station presets, and there is a ‘favourite’ button so you never lose your favourite radio programme ever again.

The amber lit LCD display clearly displays which DAB or FM station you are listening to, and the radio is very easy to use. The Vintage not only works from the mains but takes batteries too, and you can get up to 80 hours use when using the batteries – to make life easier (and more environmentally minded) there is a built-in battery charger which means you do not have to keep buying new batteries for the radio.

Other features include;

Headphone socket

USB socket (for upgrades)

Auxiliary input socket for iPod/MP3 player playback

Another new addition is the DreamDock. Based on the popular iDream radio, the DreamDock is the perfect bedside radio as it features a large, dimmable display, an alarm function and DAB capabilities.

The DreamDock is compatiable with iPod, iPhone and iPod Touch models, and it comes with a handy remote control (perfect if you sleep on the far side of the bed).You can save up to 20 of your favourite radio stations, and you can choose whether to wake up to one of them, your iPod or the buzzer alarm, and if it isn’t quite time to get up there is an adjustable sleep and snooze timer.

Other features include;

Auto Time set

Search/manual turning

Headphone socket

Auxiliary input socket

Also, now available is the RecordR which has the ability to record DAB and FM radio. To view the full range of Roberts Radio visit Go-Electrical. Prices start from just £20.00!

PURE Contour 100Di

Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011

Just in time for Christmas, PURE have launched a new docking station for iPod and iPhones. The PURE Contour 100Di is the baby sister of the PURE Contour, and it is great.

The Contour 100Di is a compact dock with DAB and FM radio which offers brilliant, powerful sound for an affordable price. It features a revolving dock, petite remote control with magnetic remote tidy, two alarms and sleep and snooze timers.

Unlike the PURE Contour, the Contour 100Di doesn’t feature Wi-Fi capabilities, but don’t let that put you off. If you have an iPhone, iPod Touch or an iPad you can download the PURE Lounge app which enables users to listen to world radio stations, podcasts, listen again content and PURE sounds. The app turns the Contour 100Di into a Wi-Fi audio system without braking the bank.

Further product information;

Large high contrast display

3.5mm auxiliary input

Mini USB port for upgrades

2 year warranty

20 digital/FM presets

Before you buy makes sure that your Apple device is compatible:

iPod Nano 2nd-6th Generation

iPod Classic 80, 120 and 160GB

iPod Touch 1st-4th Generation

iPhone 2G, 3G, 3GS and 4

iPad supported but is not fully “Made for iPad” approved

Visit our PURE pages for more great docks and DAB radios, and of course, to purchase a PURE Contour 100Di.

New season…

Tuesday, September 20th, 2011

As we say goodbye to summer, it’s time to start thinking about hibernating…oh no wait, we don’t hibernate…well, ok, it is time to start thinking about how we are going to keep ourselves cheerful, and warm, when the cold weather and dark nights set in. Well if you are anything like me you will have already purchased your winter wardrobe, but what about your home? I’ve selected some beautiful products above that will not only look nice in your home (check out the lovely autumnal colours), but will give you a reason to batten down the hatches and hole up for the winter months…That’s my plan anyway!

New Pure products that we LOVE…

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011

We love PURE – regular readers of the blog will know that. We love them because of the quality and performance that they produce in their products, and that there is a radio to suit every need and budget. We also love new products, and PURE have launched two new models to the market, and guess what? We love them too!

First of all there is the PURE Move 2500, a sleek, modern compact portable digital radio that easily outshines the PocketDAB 1500 and Move Palm. The Move 2500 is like the much cooler, sexier cousin of the family.

The Move 2500 is a rechargeable personal DAB digital and FM radio weighing only 105g. It fits perfectly in the hand or a pocket as it is only 10.2cm tall and 5.6cm wide, with a skinny depth of 1.5cm, although because of its stylish shiny fascia you may want to keep it on display for the world to see. The Move 2500 has a aluminium fascia and mirror finished casing, its controls are recessed into the body so there are no controls to catch on the inside of your pockets and the ear-phones that come as standard are not like the usual plastic in-ear headphones we are used to. No, PURE have decided to provide comfortable in-ear, noise insulting headphones that are comfy and squishy so that they fit perfectly in the ear.

As the Move 2500 is so compact it is ideal for using in the gym or on a run, listening to the daily headlines on your commute into work or taking into the garden when your rockery needs weeding, and don’t worry about running out of power on your 15 mile run (I wish!) because the rechargeable ChargePak M1 battery gives up to 14 hours listening time per charge, that realistically means that you could probably use it everyday on the train to work for a week before recharging…think of the electricity that you could save!

Other reasons we love the PURE Move 2500:

1 – It has 20 presets (10 digital and 10 FM)

2 – There is separate bass and treble control

3 – The cable of the earphones acts as an aerial, but reception won’t be affected by using different headphones

4 – It can be connected to speakers by using a 3.5mm cable

5 – It can be charged using a USB port on a computer, or even via the PowerPort on another PURE product with a micro USB

6 – The Move 2500 was featured in The Sunday Times as a ‘Top Gadget’.

Second of the new products is the PURE One Mini Series II billed by PURE as “the radio for everyone”, and is a remastered version of the very popular, award winning One Mini.

The Series II is an affordable, compact portable radio that can be used in every room of the house, and beyond as it has a telescopic aerial to ensure all possible radio stations can be picked up. It measures just 13.5cm tall and 13cm wide, and can take a rechargeable ChargePak B1 battery which will provide hours of listening time.

The One Mini Series II has remodelled satin chrome controls, and comes in a silky satin-touch finish (in black or white), and the screen is small, bright and concise with textSCAN to pause and control the scrolling text displayed. You can attach headphones if desired, and the One Mini Series II can be used as a speaker when connected to an MP3 player or iPod, so you are not just limited to FM and digital radio stations – you can pick your own soundtrack.

Just because it is small, it doesn’t mean that the Series II is any less of a radio. The sound that it produces is of excellent quality and it can reach a brilliant volume, and team this with the crisp output that DAB digital radio produces, you have a great little portable.

Other brilliant features of the PURE One Mini Series II include:

1 – It has a USB socket so that new features can be added when available

2 – It has 16 presets (8 FM and 8 digital)

3 – Comes with a PURE 2 year warranty.

If you like the sound of either of these PURE products, get one quick from Go-Electrical as I just know they are going to be popular. Oh, and PURE have told us that they will soon be launching new Elite and Classic models so watch this space!

Wedding gifts galore!

Fantastic radios from Roberts

Friday, July 1st, 2011

Roberts Radio Ltd was founded in 1932 by Harry Roberts and Leslie Bidmead. Since then company has grown slowly but surely and today Roberts radios are sold around the world, from Japan to USA.

In the 75 years the company has been making radios, Roberts has formed a reputation for producing quality radios that are extremely reliable and innovative. That is why today there are approximately 2000 shops throughout the UK that stock, and sell, Roberts radios – including the now iconic Revival radio (see earlier blog posts), which is instantly recognizable, and very stylish.

Roberts created the “first truly portable DAB/WiFi radio” when they made the Stream 202, and the “world’s first Solar DAB radio”, which not only looks good but is kind to the environment. In fact, Roberts have a range of radios which are eco friendly – these products are energy efficient as they have increased battery life and reduced power consumption. For example, the Ecologic Gemini21 has up to 150 hours of battery life, and the new Expression runs for up to 100 hours on its battery – that means these portable radios can be used in the garden, or taken on picnics to the park or beach, and there is no fear of your summer soundtrack running out midway through the day!

All products are packaged using cardboard made from recycled waste paper, and can of course by recycled again. Roberts Radio also has a fantastic repair centre, so if your radio does break (very rare) then it can be sent away and fixed, instead of being thrown away. All this means you can do your bit to save the environment, but the best bit is that it all saves you money, and we all know how precious pennies are these days!

Roberts radios and accessories are available from Go-Electrical and start from just £20.90 for a clock radio. Bargain!

The sun is shining, the weather is sweet…
