This review is for Adelaide Solar Panel Cleaning, Adelaide SA

verified email - 10 Jan 2015

I needed to have my 11 Solar Panels cleaned and this company's quote came in at the best. They had a special on at the time (July 2014) of $5 per panel (but I've just checked their website and prices have changed) but it only cost me $55 where as the 2 other quotes were $121 (with a 10% discount for pensioners) and $90. They did a good job and completed a visual inspection for any defects or problems and provided a written report (which can come in handy re the warranty on your system). They also made handy suggestions, like spraying the wall around the inverter with surface spray to deter spiders nesting, and recorded it in the "Notes" section. They also have a mobile number 0427 770 768.

Approximate cost: $55

This review is for Not Just Bond Cleaning, Salisbury SA

I was granted home cleaning services that would be reimbursed by the CTP insurer as a result of a car accident. Most of the cleaning itself was acceptable, apart from the fact that she didn't do alot of the things I'm now unable to such as under beds etc which was the main reason for the services being granted. I used her service on the 14th of March 2014 and paid cash with a promise from her that she would email me a receipt so I can lodge it and be reimbursed. Here it is nearly a month later and after numerous calls, messages and emails she STILL hasn't sent me one so now I'm out of pocket. This is all a bit dodgy and so I would not recommend the use of this service.

Approximate cost: $30

This review is for P & S Discounters, Mansfield Park SA

This business was recommended to me by me daughters grandfather as having good prices and good service and he was correct on both counts. I recently purchased a new scanner, copier, printer, fax machine and when I had exhausted the black ink cartridge I had to replace it in a hurry but unfortunately, this was prior to this business being recommended to me and so I paid an exorbitant amount for another ink cartridge. I didn't want to get caught out next time so I rang the guys at P & S Discounters. They recommended that I refill the cartridge as this works out alot cheaper than buying another. Their prices to refill for you are very reasonable and if you choose to do it yourself it works out even cheaper. I chose the refill myself option and they were more than helpful in explaining exactly how to go about it and even gave me printed fact sheets to take home with the ink and refill kit I purchased from them. It works out that I will be able to refill my black ink cartridge 20 times for slightly less than what it cost to buy another cartridge so I'm a very happy customer :)

Approximate cost: $17.00

This review is for Discount Haven, North Haven SA

This is another one of those little known discount stores where you can get everything from spray paint to gift cards and just about everything in between. I discovered it whilst dropping my littlest at daycare last week and went in with a particular purchase in mind. I spent a total of around 30 minutes in there just perusing all the different things for sale but as luck would have it, the one thing I went in to purchase(one of those plastic coated metal dish drainers), he was out of stock of(just my luck lol). They did have everything else you would expect to find at one of these stores and returned the following day with my eldest daughter as she wanted to purchase a cat collar because one of her moggies had lost theirs and she got a nice one with a bell for only $2.00.

Along with my eldest daughters Indonesian studies at school came the discovery of this gorgeous little restaurant. On our last visit we decided on one of the banquets, minimum of two people and it consisted of a soup(can't remember what exactly as I'm not much of a soup person)and it was followed by three different main courses, one fish, one beef and one chicken, along with steamed rice and a plate of vegetables. The BEST part is the dessert though, green pancakes. Now before you screw your noses up, unless you've tried them, don't knock it. The actual pancake itself tastes like a regular one, the only difference is the colour which I think my daughter said they get from a leaf(? will get clarification and update soon). Anyway, the pancake is filled with coconut then rolled up and drizzled with what tasted like a maple syrup and is served with ice cream and all for only $27.00 a head.

This review is for Portside Swim & Leisure Centre, Largs Bay SA

This centre has something for all the family, from simple lap swimming sessions for leisure or fitness to swimming lessons for any age from babies to adults. Not an overly large centre, the main building comprises the pool and change rooms with a smaller fitness room/gym off to one side. I've taken two of my children there for lessons when they were babies and the staff are fantastic and the lessons fun. They also give you a commemorative photographic certificate of babies first lesson.

This review is for Semaphore BBQ Chickens, Semaphore SA

The smell as you walk in is enough to make you hungry, that aroma of yummy roasted chicken. They're always tender and moist and their chips are the best, hot fresh and crispy with just the right amount of chicken salt(if requested). They also have a large selection of fresh salads as well as schnitzel/sausage/veg etc packs.

This review is for The Semaphore Bakehouse, Semaphore SA

verified email - 18 May 2008

What I love the most about this bakery is that smell of freshly baked bread. You can also buy your loaf of bread unsliced or choose one and ask for thin or thick sliced and they'll do it there and then. They also have a range of pies, pasties and pastries all made on the premises and you can buy special occasion cakes made to order, or they'll supply the sponge for you to decorate yourself.

From greeting cards to degreaser and everything in between, this is one of those stores where you'll go in to buy a candle and come out with a basket full. They have clothes, cleaning products, sunglasses, lighters, storage containers, you get the drift and all at very reasonable prices.

These guys do the best butter chicken I've tried. The staff are courteous and efficient , this along with a pleasant relaxed atmosphere and reasonable prices makes this a pleasant and affordable dining experience.
