Also if you have a broker (intermediary) on your policy, it can be more efficient to process the claim through him/her. Yuo may need proof of ownership (eg photographs/ original packaging) and/or of purchase (eg invoice) Usually the insurer replaces new for old (easier for appliances like...

My vote is for Sebo - durable, reliable and effective. Our Sebo 360 has two motors - one for the vacuum and one for the brush, it folds flat so you can vacuum under furniture, it vacuums close to an edge eg wall and it has great filtration capability and so on. Mine is only 14 years old, my...

Bosch, Siemens, and Gaggenau (in ascending order of price which is also a broad proxy for features/complexity/design/desirability/cost of maintenance!) are all owned and manufactured by one company B/S/H. Keep in mind that the more Bells and Whistles you add to the base model ie the higher up in...

Be a bit cautious before buying a top-loader Speed Queen - you need to know that they are pretty hard on clothes due to the much higher friction with clothes due to large that central rotor compared to the much gentler "tumbling"action of a front loader. On the plus side, they are fairly...

Sorry gramps - as per one of my earlier posts, these documents are long gone.

But looking a bit closer, it could a a ETA/Unitas 1206 movement with fewer jewels?

Just for info: I see quite a few manual Unitas 649x-1 manual movements in watches - and they used to be used in pocket watches as it was designed in the 1950s - but your movement is a different one. The 6497-1 had a central seconds mechanism, and the 6498-1 had a sub seconds mechanism. Unitas...

If you want solid engineering anb durability - have a serious look at Damasko. Even though they are well priced, I can't afford them anymore sadly as a pensioner- but I think they are beautifully put together for those of us who praise performance and functionalist above marketing...

Don't pull your nose up at quartz - even though I still do. In 1992 I could have bought a Patek Phillippe Beta 21 for R10 000 even thogh it was already 10-12 years old. I didn't know that few were ever made and they sold for USD 3 500 compared to USD 2 200 for their model called Ref. 2499. I...

I am also a great fan of Cartier watches. Founded in Paris in 1847, they have a storied history of innovation and Royal connections. Louis Cartier was the fist jeweller to succesfully combine diamonds and platinum for the first time ever and created the Garland Style jewellery. He was the...

From my owner's manual: Engine oil consumption Some engine oil will be consumed while driving. The rate of consumption can be affected by such factors as transmission type, driving style, terrain and temperature. Under the following conditions, oil consumption can be increased and thus require...

Malachite Kingfisher - Mjejane Game Reserve

I have a 8kW Sunsynk inverter, 16 550W tier 1 panels (Canadian Solar, Jinko or JA, cant remember) and 4 x kWh Greenrich LiPo4 batteries up here in Gauteng. All my panels are N facing in 2 strings, on a 30 degree sloped roof. It works great, but in winter the solar generation period is noticeable...

Nice article via the New York Times to test your knowledge (I subscribe to their digital edition which includes access to Wirecutter, for the grand amount of 1 dollar a month so I can have a bit of fun with their games/puzzles): The Best Blanco Tequilas The Best Blanco Tequilas By Emma Janzen...

I know many of you know lots about LiFePO4 batteries - so you can skip this whole article - except if you find factual errors or information in it that needs updating... But for a newbie like me, this article explained a lot. (all i must find out now is how to see battery cycles on the...

Rainy weather and my solar system I recently had a PV/inverter/battery system installed. It was duly commissioned and started working. The next day the wet weather started: over the last 15 days up here in Jo’burg, we have had over 200mm rain, only 2 half-sunny days and 13 days of medium to...
