Let me introduce the Bosch Filtrino Hot Water Dispenser to you. This fantastic appliance delivers filtered water, ready heated straight to your cup at the touch of a button. Available in White (THD2021GB) and Black (THD2023GB) this innovative hot water source is both time saving and energy saving, and no one can complain about that. The Filtrino heats up to boiling in about 40 seconds, which is incredibly fast compared to a normal 2000W kettle, and because it only heats up the amount of water requested it saves up to 50% of the energy used by a normal kettle. Just think of the difference that could make to your electricity bill.

Do you enjoy drinking green tea? Or do you prefer an instant coffee? Maybe, like me, you prefer drinking your tea strong and black, well whichever you favour the Filtrino will cater for you. It can produce water at room temperature, 70°C for white teas, 80°C for green teas, 90° for instant coffee or hot chocolate, and of course boiling water for everything else. The clever machine will also serve 120ml, 150ml, 200ml, 250ml or 300ml servings at the touch of a button, and the handy stop/start button means you can manually control the Filtrino so you can create the perfect hot beverage time after time.

The BRITA filter housed inside the water dispenser reduces the traces of limescale, chlorine, lead and copper that can be found in tap water. This means that the machine will last longer, as calcium will not be able to build up within the machine, and it also means that the flavour of the drink will be as it should be. The water is so well filtered that you should be able to see, smell and taste the difference in your hot beverage.

To sum up, the Bosch Filtrino Hot Water Dispenser is a product you don’t realise you need until you have used it – then you will never want to stop using it. It is simple, efficient and makes brew time a whole lot more enjoyable…what’s not to like?

* Saves up to 80% energy by boiling only the water you need

Magimix seem to have been reading the same interior design magazines as ourselves, as they have just launched the ‘Le Mini’ food processor in 9 bright and vivid colours, meaning there is now 11 different finishes to choose from. We told you earlier in the year that colour was going to be big for 2012, and it seems that manufactures agree.

The Magimix ‘Le Mini’ food processor is a small product designed for the chef who has limited space, but big culinary ideas and needs. It still accommodates most of the functions a larger version would, so there is no need for lots of different gadgets or gizmos cluttering up the work surface. This powerful mini food processor has attachments to mix, grate, slice, chop, whisk, knead and liquidise your ingredients, and with one speed and a pulse function it definitely won’t confuse even the most novice cook.

The ‘Le Mini’ has definitely been designed to be easy to use – it features an automatic motor, which cleverly varies in power intuitively, to suit whatever ingredients are being blended, and comes with 2 different sized bowls so it is possible to create very small quantities with out too much hassle. The BlenderMix attachment is ideal for finely blending soups, milkshakes and smoothies, and best of all – all the bowls and blades are dishwasher safe, so no stress when it comes to the washing up!

If you think that the  ‘Le Mini’ might be the appliance for you, all you need to do is choose your colour (the bit that I can’t do). How about hot pink? Vivid violet? Lime green? Or maybe even tangerine orange? Ooooh it’s tricky…

Visit our Magimix pages to view the entire food processor range from Micro choppers right through to a big food processor that will cater for 6. All come with a range of accessories, and if you get stuck choosing you can take a minute to check out the helpful food processor guide.

The Artisan Bowl-Lift (KSM7580X) is very user friendly, quiet and powerful, and is available in five different colours. It features a smooth, 6.9 litre stainless steel bowl, and this can be raised up or down by turning the bowl-lift handle, which makes this machine perfect for heavier quantities. All the accessories are dishwasher safe, and included are;

* An elliptical 11-wire whisk

* A spiral dough hook

* A flat beater

* A pouring shield

This mixer has been designed to not only work well, but look outstanding at the same time. Each machine is coated in baked enamel which not only makes the Artisan bowl-lift stand mixer easy to clean, but it also prevents scratching and chipping in a busy environment.

The Gorenje Retro Style Refrigerators (RB) are already available in Burgundy, Cream, Black, Raspberry Pink, Lime Green and Juicy Orange, and Gorenje have decided to add a Volcanic Red and Mystic White to the range. The two new additions feature everything the other fridges do, including the standard 5 year warranty.

Specification:

Weight: 52.00

Width (cm): 60

Height (cm): 154

Depth (cm): 64

Energy Rating: A++

Fridge Capacity (litres): 262

Hinge: Right Hinged

The A++ energy rating means that you not only save money, but also do your bit for the environment. The fridges feature an LED display to help you accurately control the temperature your fridge is kept at, and the innovative fan system keeps everything cold and the air flowing well, which is essential for the storage of fresh food. A special vegetable crisping draw maintains the right humidity and air flow to ensure your fruit and vegetables are kept fresh for longer.

Inside you will find glass shelves which are easy to clean, and the interior panels and doors of all Gorenje refrigerators are coated with a special material containing an inorganic silver compound. This protective coating prevents harmful micro organisms from breeding and growing, even in the presence of spoilt food, and this clever protection keeps working for the entire life of the appliance! The fridge also has a small freezer compartment (or icebox) so you can have ice, and ice-cream at the ready when the weather heats up.

The new colours should be available to purchase from Go-Electrical in April/May, so keep your eyes peeled for these appearing on the website. And why not take a look at the other refrigerators available from Gorenje? You never know, one of their fridge freezers might be just what you are after…

Following on from the success of the Evolution and Edition models launched last year, and the newest additions, the Flash and Mop, which were launched in February, Polti are adding two more steam cleaners to their range. Unfortunately, they are also discontinuing some of the existing models, but I wouldn’t be too worried because the new models are so much better.

The Vaporetto Dynamic, and Vaporetto Forever Exclusive will fit nicely into the top of the Polti range. The most expensive of the steam cleaners before reaching the Lecoaspira Steam Vacuum models, these two new additions are perfect for people who have used a steam cleaner before and want to upgrade, or for someone who will use a steam cleaner on a very regular basis for extended periods of time.

The two models are robost in design, and have very similar specifications, but the thing that sets the Vaporetto Forever Exclusive apart from all the other Polti steam cleaners is that it features a continuous refill function (indicated by the ‘Forever’ part in its name), just like some of the Lecoaspira models. This means no more waiting for the water tank to depressurise before being able to refill, so you can just keep going with your cleaning tasks. This feature is a real time-saver, believe me!

The sun is finally shining, the temperatures are slowly rising and the clocks change at the weekend so it means just one thing – Summer is on its way! Hurrah!

I know every year we all get really excited at the prospect of the sun shining continuously from April until September, or the fact that Mr Weatherman promises Indian summer temperatures, but then the good ol’ British weather lets us down and it rains or is freezing cold, but this year I’ve decided to make the most of whatever weather we are dealt (while keeping my fingers crossed for sun of course), and to do this I have decided that I am going to invest in an ice-cream maker. Yes, you heard me correctly, an ice-cream maker – my reasoning behind this decision is as follows;

1 – I like ice-cream. Simple.

2- During summer, being stuck inside an office, I average at least 4 ice-creams a week from May to August, that’s 64 (excluding ice lollies) in 4 months. An ice-cream cone costs £1.10 if not more – that means I spend almost £71 on ice-cream. Crikey! By buying an ice-cream maker, I would definitely save money in the long run.

3- I almost always have a tub of a very famous American duos ice-cream in my freezer, and unless it is on special offer at my local supermarket that is also a lot of money spent on ice-cream. Ooops! Please don’t tell my other half!

4- With an ice-cream maker you don’t just have to stick to vanilla, chocolate or strawberry flavours, the possibilities are endless – especially if you fancy yourself as a bit of a Heston Blumenthal wanna-be…bacon and egg ice-cream anyone?

5- If the weather doesn’t live up to expectations, and it’s wet and miserable then I will be able to close the curtains and eat ice-cream imagining that I am laid on some far-flung exotic beach.

6- How impressed are my friends and family going to be when they pop round for a BBQ and I bring out home-made ice–cream? As I am not known for being a domestic goddess, the answer to that is, VERY!

Have I convinced you that this is a brilliant idea yet? Well, if not, maybe we should take a look at some of the ice-cream makers available…

The Magimix Le Glacier is easy to use, just pre-freeze the bowl for 8-12 hours and it then just takes 20 minutes to make the ice cream. The large feed tube and the see through lid that comes with the ‘Le Glacier’, mean that you are able to pour in the ingredients, while checking to see if your creation is ready or not.

The Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker Deluxe allows you to make ice cream, frozen yoghurt, sorbets and frozen drinks. Simply place the detachable 2 litre freezer bowl into your freezer the night before using it and the next day you can have a healthy and versatile dessert in just twenty to thirty minutes. Fully automatic, simply fill the bowl with your desired mixture and press on, and the open lid allows ingredients to be added while in motion.

The Magimix Gelato Chef is a top of the range model with a built-in freezer unit so there is no pre-freezing required. You simply turn it on, stick in the ingredients and after 20 minutes, you have ice cream. If you want large batches of ice cream, then this is the model you definitely want. It comes with a detachable inner bowl and a paddle to make one batch, then you can do another in the fixed bowl which also has a paddle as well, this way you can make multiple batches even quicker.

Go on, admit it, I’ve convinced you that making your own ice-cream is the way forward! If you have decided that my way of thinking is maybe not as bonkers as you first thought, why not take a look at the full range of ice-cream makers that Go-Electrical has to offer? Go on, just think of the summer!

We have just taken delivery of some exciting new products, and now that they have arrived I can’t wait any longer, I have to tell you about our newest addition! I was banned from typing and telling you all the goss, but now the stock has landed I’m letting the secret out…Newgate Clocks are now available at Go-Electrical!

I’ve always been a bit of a horophile (a person who likes clocks) – although I’m always late – and I especially like a clock that looks a little bit different and adds a certain je ne sais quoi to a room, so Newgate clocks arriving into the building is a little worrying for my bank account!

For those of you who aren’t familiar with Newgate clocks, I had better fill you in…A British company owned and run by Jim and Chloe Read, Newgate specialize in creating alarm clocks, mantel clocks and wall clocks of all different sizes, colours and styles. The designs are influenced by classic, vintage and retro designs of the past, making a Newgate clock perfect for any household. Even if you have never heard of ‘Newgate’ I can guarantee that when you see their clocks you will instantly recognize them – featured in magazines and newspapers, and used in tv and film sets, they crop up everywhere!

I personally like the big wall clocks that wouldn’t look out of place on a train station platform in the 1950s, but I think that is just because I’m a fan of all things from the 40s and 50s. My least favorites in the range are the ones that were used in the school gym at my high school, as they conjour up memories of exam-time. The large clear numbers, straight black hands, and the red second-hand just send shivers down my spine!

Whether you are looking for something small and timeless to sit on your fireplace, or a large statement piece to hang in your hallway, look no further than Newgate. Perfect wedding and new home gifts, why not share Newgate with your loved-ones and keep the British brand thriving.

I just thought I should remind you all that this year Mother’s Day is 18^th March. Yes, that means you are rapidly running out of time to get a gift and card, to show your mummy how much you really do care.

Go-Electrical has some great gift ideas, and not all of them are budget busting. Why not give your mum a little piece of Le Creuset? Something useful, colourful and a brand she will know…the best bit? Prices start from a tiny £5.00.

If you don’t think that Le Creuset is quite right, what about a Dualit Latteccino? Small but perfectly formed, this milk frother is available in different colours and will enable mum to make her favourite milky drink with no problems, whether it be a latte, horlicks or hot chocolate.

For those of you who have a bigger budget, or just really want to show your mum how much you appreciate her, there are coffee machines, DAB radios and food processors galore. Visit the Mother’s Day Gift Ideas page to find the perfect gift, and show the special lady in your life how much you love her.
